PVC: Cast endorses Fernando Lázaro’s talent – 02/19/2023 – PVC

Corinthians players are keen to say that competence led Fernando Lázaro to command Corinthians. There are five victories in ten games, two classics without defeat, contrast with last year, with only one victory in twelve clashes against Palmeiras, Santos and São Paulo.

“Training is clear and we are better positioned”, says one of the squad leaders.

There is no comparison with Vítor Pereira, in this sentence.

Fágner was tough on the Portuguese coach on ESPN’s Bola da Vez. He addressed the bad environment and made explicit criticisms. This leaves room for judging that the appreciation for Fernando Lázaro has to do with the change in the environment.

The testimonials go in another direction: “Since when I was a performance analyst, the conversations showed ideas with which we agreed.”

This phrase is repeated by more than one player. Keep in mind that Lázaro was an analyst during Tite’s period and worked alongside Cássio, Fágner, Gil, Fábio Santos and Renato Augusto, all Brazilian champions in 2015 – the left-back left for Cruz Azul at the start of the campaign.

Vítor Pereira is a very good coach. He sparked when he said that his players weren’t hungry, after the defeat to Atlético-GO, for the Copa do Brasil. It’s not just about that. It’s important to understand why the cast talks about positioning.

Ádson started to score goals from the right end, diagonally, to stay close to Yuri Alberto. It opens the corridor for Fágner to attack, which gives an option for Renato Augusto’s reversals.

The midfielder left the field angry, after the insipid first half against Portuguesa, in Brasília, because the team was unable to change sides of the field.

Against Palmeiras, he succeeded and the classic had alternations, with Corinthians creating clearer goalscoring chances, in the first half and in the last fifteen minutes, after Abel Ferreira’s changes.

Corinthians subtly changes the tactical system, as Renato Augusto reverses his role with that of Roger Guedes, or Roni arrests him as the first midfielder and gives freedom to Giuliano or Du Queiroz. The team varies from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2.

Depending on the game, Roger Guedes closes the left side and forms a line of four in front of the steering wheel, a 4-1-4-1.

Variations do not win everything.

The relationship helps.

There is an obvious difference between boss and leader. The first is imposed by fear, the second by respect. It is said, in Porto, that Vítor Pereira was the tactical agent at the time when André Villas Boas led the team to national titles, the Portuguese Cup, the Super Cup and the Europa League.

Villas Boas had his termination fine paid by Chelsea, a record for hiring a coach. He was never as successful again. His successor, Vítor Pereira led Porto to two more Portuguese titles, in one of them bringing Jorge Jesus to his knees after Kelvin scored the winning goal in a derby against Benfica.

Lázaro was never pointed out as Tite’s tactical genius. He heard and understood notions from the former national team coach, as well as from Mano Menezes, Fábio Carille and Vítor Pereira.

Knowledge is key for any coach. Relationship is decisive in any profession.

There is no leader who does not listen.

In the medium term, Fernando Lázaro can combine both qualities.

The best

Zidane didn’t give Vinicius Junior many chances. Carlo Ancelotti, all. After the Cup, the Brazilian striker was named man of the match in six of the 13 matches he played. Ednaldo Rodrigues’ favorite coach at CBF is excellent on a tactical level, and even more so in human relations.

upside down

Manchester United have played 19 matches since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. They won 15, drew three and only lost to Arsenal, leader of the English Premier League. In this case, the culprit seems to be the player, not the coach. And it’s not always just one or the other, but who builds the professional environment.
