Grêmio and Palmeiras managed to qualify for the final of the Copa do Brasil, with the team led by Renato Portaluppi maintaining a 0-0 draw with São Paulo, in Morumbi, and the Portuguese Abel Ferreira winning America-MG by 2 a. 0 in Belo Horizonte. OR End of story, post-round live from sports -with journalists Luiza Oliveira, José Trajano, Renato Maurício Prado and Menon- analyzes the fall of the leader of Brasileirão, the union classification and also the victory of Palmeiras today.
In the Gremista classification against São Paulo, Menon highlights the weight of the team led by Renato and sees the need for Fernando Diniz to look for alternatives for the squad looking for a change in the way they act in situations such as the semifinal in Morumbi.
“The game I thought was the following, Grêmio was committed to a mission, to qualify. São Paulo was committed to the concept of the game, and they call this game a supported game, a triangular game, I like to call it a choppy game. There are days that give, not today, “says Menon.
“And that is the problem for next year that São Paulo has to take care that it is the next, there must be players in the squad who can change this game scheme. Today, for example, Paulinho Boia launched at 33 years of age”. But let’s face it, it’s often an anchor instead of a buoy, it’s an anchor, it’s already sinking the team. I don’t think he is a player equal to São Paulo. So São Paulo needs to change one next year. little, they have broad players, points, they need to have points and they don’t have them, and the team is very attached to a single scheme ”, he adds.
The absence of Reinaldo on the side complicates Diniz’s team
In addition to the first game of the semifinal, in Porto Alegre, the left-back Reinaldo got a yellow card for complaint, and São Paulo needed to play for Morumbi without counting on the player who has been important in creating the team’s plays. Menon recalls that the card was unnecessary and demands that players understand that they cannot make these kinds of mistakes in a decisive showdown.
“The absence of Reinaldo was very missed by São Paulo and remember the stupid yellow card he got, they gave him a yellow card at 50 minutes in the previous game, the player needs to understand a little of that too, he can’t get yellow, the game has 180 minutes and the boy turns yellow at 93 ”, says the journalist.
Brasileirão became an obligation for São Paulo
Without the Copa do Brasil, São Paulo still has to compete in the Brazilian Championship, in which it leads Atlético-MG by seven points, in second place, and tries to get out of the uncomfortable situation of not winning titles since the South American Cup . 2012. Menon believes that the fall in the Copa do Brasil increases the responsibility of Fernando Diniz’s team and considers that it would be frustrating for the coach’s job to lose another competition.
“It’s a boring cliché even, but the Brazilian becomes an obligation for São Paulo because there he has seven points and he has to win. You have to be careful, Flamengo is not playing well, but he can play well at any time, there is a squad. ., Galo is still alive. And if São Paulo does not beat the Brazilian, we can say that it was a very bad year under Diniz, “says the journalist.
“Right now the team is doing well in the Brazilian, but it was drastically eliminated, in the Copa do Brasil it reached the semifinals, but it was shamefully eliminated in Liberators, it was demoted to the South American and eliminated in the first match, and the Paulista Championship that was that shame of losing to Mirassol. Diniz I think you can say that his job is regular and he has to win to be more than regular, otherwise his job in São Paulo will be very frustrating. ” , concludes.
The program also analyzes the classification of Palmeiras, which better reaches the final of the Brazil Cup and also the chances of Abel Ferreira’s team in the Libertadores and the conditions in the Brazilian Championship, which can win a G7 with the fact that the two teams Decide the title of the cup to be among the first also in points.
