Another game has passed, and Cruzeiro continues with worse and worse football. Sampaio Corrêa’s defeat is catastrophic, but no more so than performance. She once again removes any expectation that this team can achieve enough to score for access.
Ney Franco seems lost. Battery errors. Henrique, for almost ten years, has not been a second midfielder. Against Sampaio, it was for a time. In the second, when the coach tried to correct this mistake by overtaking Machado, he made another: playing with Sassá open on the left. He repeated what had not worked against Cuiabá and that will probably never work. It is a question of character.

Cruzeiro does not function in almost any respect as a team. He has no intensity, he can’t score pressure, he doesn’t have compaction when he goes down the lines to score in his field and it is difficult to score with doubles, facilitating opponents. That was the case of Pimentinha, this Wednesday, and Yago, in the second part of the match with Cuiabá.
So there is hardly any talk of the attack. The first full time was dedicated to working only on the balls in the area for the defense of Sampaio (this point, which evolved with Ney Franco). In addition to not being around, the team still needs to deal with low-producing parts. Régis, as in most of his career, has been a flash player. Arthur Caike is another who lacks coherence. Airton plays alone, but has trouble finishing his moves.
To reach 59 points, which was the worst campaign with access (since Vitória, in 2007), Cruzeiro will need 67% of use. Today it has 40%. This use would be in the best of scenarios, since in 2012, for example, São Caetano obtained 71 points and was left out.

The signs of a sprint, from the third round, only appeared against the Bridge. Game, that one, which was a point outside the curve within what the Cruise 2020 is. With what they are presenting today, collectively and individually, believing in access is pure illusion.
To this is added the psychological problem that is agitating more and more and the debts that knock on the door. The cast received neither August nor September salaries. Three offensive pieces are training in Toca pending regularization, but not even Cruzeiro himself believes that he will win the appeal in FIFA. In this case, will you have R $ 7.2 million to register those who already have a signed contract?
There is absolutely nothing that the fan can hold onto to hope that the centennial is (at least a little) different from what 2019 was and what 2020 will be, on and off the court.
