Brazil’s game against Venezuela is training – 10/11/2023 – Juca Kfouri

The Brazilian team has never lost to the Venezuelan team in official games: in 27 matches there were three draws and 24 wins.

The only defeat came in Boston, in the United States, in a friendly, 2-0, in 2008, when the Brazilians went to the field with Doni; Daniel Alves (Maicon), Henrique, Luisão and Gilberto; Gilberto Silva (Josué), Elano (Mineiro) and Anderson (Rafael Sobis); Robinho, Alexandre Pato (Diego) and Adriano (Luis Fabiano), under the direction of Dunga.

Nothing different is expected from a new victory this Thursday (12) at Arena Pantanal, in Cuiabá, in front of around 40 thousand fans.

It is true that in 2019, at the Copa América, in Salvador, there was 0-0, with 43 thousand people booing for Alisson; Daniel Alves, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Filipe Luís; Casemiro (Fernandinho), Arthur and Philippe Coutinho; Richarlison (Gabriel Jesus), David Neres (Everton) and Roberto Firmino, with Tite in charge.

Accidents happen, teams around the world evolve, and Fernando Diniz is still far from being able to suffer them without shaking the confidence placed in him while saving the place for the Italian Carlo Ancelotti.

More than the victory, the expectation is for a good performance with the return of Vinicius Junior, ready to be the team’s new biggest star, although Neymar’s presence is an obstacle to that.

Taking Venezuela seriously will serve as an important exercise for Tuesday’s confrontation, in Montevideo, against Celeste.

There, yes, a tough match, of dynamism against El Loco Bielsa and Rochet, from Inter, Bruno Mendéz, from Corinthians, Piquerez, from Palmeiras, Dom Arrascaeta, from Flamengo, and Canobbio, from Athletico. In addition to Valverde, from Real Madrid, and Darwin Núñez, from Liverpool, to name just a few and remember that the Argentine coach continues without calling Luis Suárez, from Grêmio, nor Edinson Cavani, from Boca Juniors, finalist of the Copa Libertadores, against Fluminense by Diniz.

Vinotinto also has players who play in Brazil, such as the recovered defender Ferraresi, from São Paulo, the full-back Rosales, from Sport, and the two valuable Santos players Rincón and Soteldo, called up by fellow Argentine Fernando Batista.

The Brazilian team’s only challenge in the qualifiers is to regain the fans’ affection, because qualification for the 2026 World Cup is as certain as victory tonight. Whoops!

Had Tite cheated?

There is nothing more unfair than seeing Tite’s move to Flamengo as a betrayal to Corinthians.

Everyone has the right to change their mind.

The serious thing about Tite was not breaking his promise to take a sabbatical, but kissing Marco Polo, who doesn’t travel, because Interpol arrests him, when he took over the national team after asking for the top hat’s resignation in a petition with more than 130 signatures of the most different personalities, such as Ana Moser, Chico Buarque de Hollanda, Jô Soares, Pelé and Tostāo.

Fiel needs to stop paying receipts to the Nation, because Flamengo is not to blame for the lie by Portuguese Vítor Pereira, who would take care of his mother-in-law in Portugal, or for Tite’s change of mind, who, moreover, made the right choice.

Quickly answer the rare reader, hearts aside, heads in place: faced with a proposal from Parque São Jorge and Gávea, which would you choose?

Corinthians fans have to look at their president and regret that he is, moreover, a jerk.
