Juca Kfouri: Copa do Brasil lights alerts – 04/15/2023 – Juca Kfouri

Let’s say that losing to a Serie B team, as Athletico lost to the CRB, and only by 1-0, in Maceió, is not a disaster that cannot be reversed in the return game, at Arena da Baixada.

For those who, however, prided themselves on being the only undefeated in 2023, with 15 wins and three draws, it means, at least, the yellow light turning on.

The red light is on for Cruzeiro, also defeated by the minimum score, in Recife, to Náutico, from Série C. where you’ve been for so long.

Worse, let’s face it, did Corinthians, defeated in Belém by Remo, from Série C, and by 2 to 0.

What light to turn on?

The alvinegra performance in Pará recalled the one made against Always Ready, by Libertadores, last year, when they were beaten by the same score. Then there was the justification for the altitude of La Paz. Now there isn’t, as long as the exasperating slowness of the team is not attributed to the delicacies of duck in tucupi.

And worse because it is the result of a decision by someone who seems to live in a parallel reality, like so many people in Brazil lately.

Well, saving important players in the most accessible tournament to save the Corinthians year can only be the result of those who walk with their heads on the moon and their feet in the clouds.

The team is already obliged to make Itaquera play more than its aging players, something possible, although exhausting in the extreme.

Incredible as it may seem, Flamengo was able to overcome Corinthians in terms of embarrassment, and embarrassment has no color.

Losing to Maringá, from Série D, also by 2-0 away from home, surpasses the limits of the imagination of the most pessimistic of the red-blacks, even more so after the dismissal of Vítor Pereira, another coach dismissed by the nefarious direction of Gávea, as bad as the one at Parque São Jorge, subdued by spoiled players who have been incapable of showing even the slightest bit of quality football. It was heartbreaking.

Turning around at Maracanã seems easy, but it only seems, because if athletes like David Luiz, Gerson, Éverton Ribeiro and Gabigol are insistent, everything will be very difficult.

The top scorer, with undeniable qualities, since he started playing with the number 1 shirt, one day worn by Zico, went on a goal diet, no less than ten games without scoring even a single one.

Is it difficult to work in a team that is winning? Course is.

Tite preferred to die hugging his in 2013 and said goodbye to Parque São Jorge after winning everything in 2011/12.

Ladino, Jorge Jesus returned to Europe while living the peak of glory in Ninho do Urubu, without touching the medallions, a task that should have been attributed to the unfortunate successors of the Portuguese, without the support of the board for that.

Those who reconciled even won titles; whoever hit head-on didn’t last long.

The state championships are not parameters for the Copa do Brasil, and the Copa do Brasil does not measure the chances for the Campeonato Brasileiro.

At most, turn on lights. The ones you lit for the A quartet should be enough to alert them.

The green light is also on, and there’s no need to mention the name of the person, just say that it resembles trees, in an atmosphere of absolute peace. And we still have the three colors that translate tradition.

Palmeiras and Fluminense are the best Brazilian teams at the start of the season.
