Fernando Diniz generates almost ideological debate about the pass – 07/05/2023 – PVC

It is curious how goals caused by errors in game outings with short passes cause more indignation than mistakes caused by long kicks. On Saturday, goalkeeper Fábio, from Fluminense, handed the ball to Alex Teixeira’s foot, and from him the pass to Pedro Raul’s goal was born.

Four days earlier, at Neo Química Arena, Corinthians were trying to put the ball on the ground in the attacking field. In a header, she left Matheus Bidu for Schunke and returned to Lautaro Díaz, with the Corinthian defense poorly positioned.

Although with different origins, the two errors produced goals from the opponents. It seems that Diniz’s team’s mistakes always have more repercussions, as if it were forbidden to exchange short passes near the defensive area. If it were, Manchester City would not be virtual English champions and would not be in the Champions League semi-finals for the third season in a row.

Fernando Diniz’s game produces an almost ideological debate, as society ideologizes customs, as if they were more important than discussing investment in education and health. Diniz had excellent moments at Audax, São Paulo and Fluminense, in this passage in which he won 64% of his 67 games – 19% of defeats.

Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras wins proportionally less (58%), equally loses less (17%) and also makes short exits, but the debate seems less ideological. In the case of the Portuguese coach, it is evident that the phases of work make the team change for the better. He was safe at the beginning, he became more offensive later, the time result always appears.

At some point, the work can run out, like a fruit that falls from ripeness before being harvested.

Fluminense is stronger and more competitive today than it was a year ago. He plays from memory, which makes players like Samuel Xavier, Nino and Arias look better than they did 12 months ago.

A coach is not good for being Portuguese, not Brazilian – or the other way around. Nor for preferring possession of the ball or the counterattack. Of all Diniz’s phases, this seems to be the most mature one for Fluminense. Which doesn’t rule out making mistakes, even when he executes moves he’s totally used to repeating.

Like Fábio’s short pass, at the foot of Alex Teixeira.

Fernando Diniz will be a hit for the CBF, if it happens, as would Carlo Ancelotti, who today looks set to stay at Real Madrid. The real mistake is the postponement of the decision, leaving the brand of the Brazilian team at the mercy of yet another embarrassment, such as the defeat by Morocco in the friendly of last March.

The Champions League final will be on June 10 and will have either Guardiola’s Manchester City or Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid. Six days later will be the Fifa date, a weekend without the Brazilian Championship, precisely for the team to play.

When the rest of the clubs is finally respected, so as not to be defrauded by the national teams, it is not known whether Brazil will play, or against whom, or with which coach in charge.

In the event of a negative response from Ancelotti, it is likely that the CBF will directly interfere with the result of his championship, removing either the Fluminense or Palmeiras coach from the fight.

As you can see, there are much more serious things to be discussed than short pass errors on the way out of the match.

first change

Tactically, Dorival Júnior begins to change the tactical design of São Paulo, by respecting the characteristics of the squad. He left the midfield diamond and started playing with two open men, Alisson and Marcos Paulo. Luciano was the center forward and should give way to Calleri, back from dengue.

Sampaoli suffers

It was very difficult for Jorge Sampaoli to impose his style of play on Flamengo. Of the 14 tackles against Athletico-PR, only four were on the attacking field. The team does not bother the opponent in the offensive marking. It is neutral, as the Argentine coach says. Only one victory in four rounds, and with interim Mário Jorge.
