After 4 to 1 in Maracanã for the Brazilian championship, still with Domènec Torrent, 2 to 1 again in Rio de Janeiro and 3 to 0 on Wednesday night, in Morumbi. Aggregate score of the three duels between São Paulo and Flamengo, 9 to 2 for the tricolor team, classified in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil in a way that is beyond any doubt. Parish! Coach Rogério Ceni has just been eliminated by the ex-club twice in the same competition, since he had lost before, with Fortaleza.
In the 29th minute of the match, São Paulo missed a pass and the ball went out the side of the field for the sixth time in the match, the result of Flamengo’s marking, cutting off tricolor pass options and forcing errors followed by the São Paulo team. It was a very uncomfortable scenario for the team led by Fernando Diniz, whose team likes to have the ball and work on it, but in the first stage they stayed with him only 33% of the time, according to SofaScore statistics.
But the rojinegros threatened very little, it was too much game for very few dangerous shots, there were eight before the break, three on goal, but none of them capable of forcing Tiago Volpi to have difficulties. However, the visitors were better, took few risks and managed to impose an undesirable rhythm on the people of São Paulo, to the point that Diniz yelled a lot at the edge of the lawn. On the other hand, Rogério Ceni seemed uncomfortable, since his players Thursday the rival.
After delaying the replacement of the ball several times in throw-ins and free kicks, São Paulo took so long to get back to the second half that the referee called the tricolor in the locker room. Returning to the field, they encountered an opponent with a major change. After playing the entire game in Uruguay with the Brazilian team on Tuesday, Everton Ribeiro left the bench after the break to replace Michael. Ceni played a strong card to win.
However, the entry of the team captain and the Ceará team jersey 10 did not take effect. Another 10, the tricolor, was unbalanced by easily getting rid of Arrascaeta and putting Luciano in a position to open the scoring two minutes into the second half. At 11 o’clock, a Reinaldo center, free, for the 11 shirt to score another, totally at ease in the middle of the red and black defense. Resolved game and guaranteed classification. Flamengo was defeated after a sterile dominance in the first 45 minutes.
There was still the possibility that the Rio team would dream again, but Vitinho took the penalty. The ridiculous charge adds to the losses lost by Bruno Henrique and Pedro in the 4-1 loss to Serie A. Pablo still expanded on a bet that Daniel Alves missed on Willian Arão early on. The VAR didn’t speak, but who cared? Flamengo got used to receiving goals from São Paulo and the vacancy was defined. Follow the tricolor dream to get out of the title line. At least Ceni will have time to prepare his team. There is no lack of work.
