PVC: Decisions that are always costly – 06/08/2023 – PVC

Atlético won in the tenth game under Felipão. It ended the biggest fast of the technician’s life and the longest in the history of the Rooster in 31 years. Since 1992, Atlético has not gone so many matches without winning.

Even so, he will only save the season if he eliminates Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque, and tries to join the continental title to the state title, in the first half.

Since 2015, when he was frequently champion again, Palmeiras has only been without cups in the 2017 and 2019 seasons.

If you don’t win Brasileiro or Libertadores, the name won’t be dry. It will be frustration.

The purchase of the plane has nothing to do with the possible lack of the dreamed titles. It has to do with a conflict of interest, of a president who set up an airline and put her soccer team on it. How much would she spend on advertising, to publicize the new company, without Palmeiras?

Palmeiras and Atlético are the only Serie A clubs that have not signed in the transfer window. This has to do with Atlético’s lack of money, owner of the biggest debt in football in Brazil, and the austere management of Leila Pereira.

It is fair to consider that Palmeiras had 18 signings and 9 titles in the last three years with Ânderson Barros. Corinthians signed 31 and didn’t win cups, São Paulo signed 25 and won one, Santos bought 28 and didn’t win any competition.

Part of the lack of reinforcements is not up to the management, but to Abel Ferreira. On Wednesday, after beating Atlético, in Mineirão, he admitted that he wants to work with short squads, because he doesn’t want dissatisfied players. Well, then he will never coach Manchester City.

But let’s think through the head of Abel Ferreira. Why is the priority to buy a steering wheel, if Raphael Veiga has no substitute? Against Fluminense, the boy Jhon Jhon was the substitute. It could have been Luís Guilherme, Abel preferred to climb him on the right.

Abel Ferreira has no reservations, because he only wanted a defensive midfielder and he will be without a midfielder if Raphael Veiga is injured.

Not everything can be solved by the technician. It has to be for the club. Scarpa had a replacement chosen by the coach: Bruno Tabata. It failed. The steering was due to the steering wheel that Abel wanted. True. Athletic, too.

The fact is that the two teams go to Wednesday’s decision with different situations. Palmeiras has eleven great starters, few substitutes, a formation that is known by heart, favoritism. Also the memory that, in 2019, he beat Grêmio in Porto Alegre, by 1 x 0, lost at Pacaembu by 2 x 1, and was eliminated.

Atlético has a transformed team. Felipão changed Coudet’s entire tactical structure. The Argentine played in 4-1-3-2. Felipão adopts the 4-2-3-1. With Coudet, Paulinho formed an attack duo with Hulk. With the penta coach, he plays openly at one of the two ends, on the right against Palmeiras, on Wednesday (2), on the left against São Paulo, on Sunday (6).

The lack of hires is not the symbol of eventual failure. But it will be seen that way. The winner of Palmeiras x Atlético will not guarantee the title. The loser will be charged for frustration.

THE COMEBACK

Lucas came back with a party from Morumbi, presentation by James Rodriguez and defeat by Atlético. Lucas still committed the penalty, which gave rise to the second goal of the Rooster. The two signings are hopes for the comeback against Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil. Can’t say it’s a bad idea. Is expensive.

SEVEN TECHNICIANS

In three years, Santos goes to its ninth coach. The favorite is Diego Aguirre, who left Olimpia in second place in the general classification of the Libertadores group stage. The Santos script has already led teams directly to relegation. It is not easy to believe in recovery.
