It was a very busy week in Brazilian football

It’s been a while since we had so much news, news and facts gathered in a few days, on and off the pitch. It was a very busy week in Brazilian football. From the point of view of Paraná, Monday offered us the Coritiba’s first victory after a merciless four-month fast.

The team managed to balance the emotional part with tactical and technical discipline to overcome Goiás, with some degree of difficulty, but which ended up rewarding everyone’s effort. Perhaps it is the case that the new board of football of the Thigh give more time to Thiago Kosloski so that he can establish himself as coach of the first team.

And Coritiba also closed the week with a bombastic speculation: the interest in hiring the experienced and distinguished Paulo Autuori to restructure the club’s football department.

On the athletic side, three events that stirred up the last few days: the announcement of the agreement closed with the state government and the City Hall of Curitiba for the payment of Arena da Baixada; information that other major European clubs have also expressed an interest in signing Vitor Roque in addition to Barcelona and the defeat for Flamengofor the Copa do Brasil.

At Maracanã, Athletico performed a balanced first half and won Flamengo. However, in the complementary stage the team retreated, which seems to still be in the psychological DNA of the players and that Wesley Carvalho will have to eliminate.

In addition, of course, to the regrettable recklessness of right-back Madson in committing a laughable maximum penalty, repeating Zé Ivaldo’s serious failure in the game with Palmeiras. But all is not lost, as it is enough to play to win, Wednesday at the Ligga Arena, and put pressure on the powerful, but not unbeatable, Flamengo.

And we cannot fail to mention the regrettable mistake made by the CBF board in continuing to improvise in the management of the Brazilian team. If the hiring of the Italian Carlo Ancelotti already seemed strange, imagine Fernando Diniz accumulate the function of coach of the national team with that of commander of Fluminense. Fasten your seat belts, it looks like the pilot is missing!
