Paranaense comes to an end with a busy week

athletic It is Rattlesnake reach the finals of the Campeonato Paranaense with very different retrospectives.

Hurricane shot ahead, winning games, scoring goals, adding points and becoming the only undefeated team of the season; the Cobra, because for me the Serpent is the one from the Old Testament, represents the tradition of football in western Paraná with experiences in other decisions.

Respecting the opponent and, perhaps, even fearing to decide in the Arena da Baixada, Cascavel’s board tried to remove Athletico’s game command. But he lost the appeal in the STJD. And the Championship comes to an end with a busy week.

In addition to the legal bid attempted by people from Cascavel, Paraná Clube, parked at the station like an old train for months, announced its return in the state championship and with a new sponsor: an adult entertainment venue. The crowd did not like it and protested.

Athletico’s group in the Copa Libertadores of America was drawn and analysts, psychics and pythonesses on duty went into action presenting their predictions.

How much noise for nothing, because football is a game and, as such, decided at the moment, depending on the circumstances and the inspiration of the coaches and players.

The opponents of Athletico, Coritiba and Maringá in the Copa do Brasil were also known. More predictions in the air.

Cleverly, Maringá did not accept offers to take the game with Flamengo elsewhere. He was right to keep it at the Willie Davids stadium to honor his loyal fans and take the opportunity to publicize the city and the region to the rest of the country.

And the player Junior Urso came to complain about the treatment given to the current moment of Coritiba. According to his view, the squad is strong and will be able to do good campaigns in the two tournaments that come ahead.

Just to remember, Junior Urso is the same one who missed a goal in the first final of the 2012 Copa do Brasil, at Arena Barueri, when Palmeiras won 2-0, but he was not so superior to Coxa during the match. In the second game there was a draw of 1 to 1 and the title stayed with Felipão’s team.

Remembering that players of excellent technical level such as goalkeeper Vanderlei and midfielders Rafinha and Everton Ribeiro wore the alviverde shirt led by coach Marcelo Oliveira.

Junior Urso may be right, after all the fans were frustrated with the disappointing performances against Operário and Cascavel. We all hope that Coritiba will come back recovered after so many weeks of training and corrections.
