So far, Raposa’s performance has disappointed her fans. Against Tombense, last Thursday, the team counted 19 presentations, a misleading figure due to the excess of long shots, without posing danger to the opposing goalkeeper. Of the three real occasions, Felipe García made good saves on the attempts of Felipe Augusto and Airton. In turn, Matheus Barbosa hit the left post behind the defense.
The difficulties were already wide open in previous duels. Players basically rotate the ball back and forth in search of space, but they bump into the marking lines. Forced to start with defensive midfielders, wingers and backs, the team ends up transmitting a sense of slowness to those who watch. In the midst of all this, the question arises: if the deficits in Mineiro are so glaring, how can the group’s performance in Series B of the Brazilian Championship be viewed? Is there time to correct them?
“We had more control of the game, more control of the game, we recovered the ball in the opposite field, we left the rival behind. Unfortunately, the ball did not go in. But it will come. This anxiety of ours that things happen from one day to the next also generates these errors in the last third. This is part of it, but we can naturally adjust it. I am sure that when the ball begins to enter that weight will come out and we will transform what we are producing in the game into goals ”.
Having liked what he saw against Tombense, Conceio made some adjustments to the starting lineup. He intends to define a base team against Srie B, to start on May 28 or 29, against Confiana, in Sergipe. A forced change on the left back: Matheus Pereira replacing Alan Ruschel, who is suspended. In midfield Rmulo could be the surprise. The expectation that the 33-year-old veteran will put into practice the reading of the game acquired in nine seasons in Italy: he scored 17 goals and gave 34 assists in 218 games for Fiorentina, Verona, Juventus, Genoa, Lazio and Brescia.
As Cruzeiro dreams of winning to ward off the mistrust of his fans, Boa desperately fights relegation to Module II. Coruja’s only win was over Coimbra, 2-1, in Varginha, for the fourth round. Forward Jefferson, responsible for the two goals, will be on the pitch this Sunday. The assistant Cesinha will be an interim technician, since the newly hired Gabardo Junior, former Vitria da Conquista (BA), has not yet published his name in the CBF BID. The Sul de Minas club ranked 11th in Mineiro, with only four points.
