PVC: Good news and many contrasts in Paulista – 05/03/2023 – PVC

The biggest news of the Paulista group stage was the public. Corinthians and São Paulo closed with an average of 40 thousand, Palmeiras with 37 thousand. This represents a 57% increase in Morumbi, 47% in Neo Química Arena, 36% in Allianz Parque.

The absence of a big one in the finals is not surprising, because this is the 23rd state of the century and only five times have the four giants finished in the top four positions.

From a tactical point of view, the focus of this drawing board, the contrast is between the two best teams in the group stage. Palmeiras by Abel Ferreira advances five men in the last line of the opponent. As he reversed the roles of the full-backs, Piquerez makes the start of three and Marcos Rocha is the builder. Giovani, Gabriel Menino, Rony, Raphael Veiga and Dudu arrive at the attack.

With Endrick, Ron gives width to the right, instead of Giovani. Endrick stays as center forward.

The São Bernardo does the opposite. He plays in 3-4-2-1 when he has the ball, but withdraws his midfielders and wings when defending and the system becomes 5-4-1. Exactly like Antonio Conte does at Tottenham and did in the 2017 English title campaign, Chelsea’s last.

Pushing five players to attack is nothing new. Guardiola does it at Manchester City, Vítor Pereira tried it at Flamengo against Independiente del Valle. The difference is in who trained and who didn’t have time for it. The red-black team failed in the Recopa final in this way.

Palmeiras usually makes room playing like this.

Almost always, because the match in Campinas, against Guarani, was very tough. Guarani exploited Piquerez’s defensive difficulties and attacked with Bruno José in the first half.

Nothing is created, everything is copied.

São Paulo replaces the loss of Calleri, due to injury, with Galoppo as a fake center forward.

All coaches watch football worldwide, whether Brazilian, Portuguese, Argentine or German. The difference is where there is training or just the idea. England started Sunday discussing whether Jürgen Klopp could start another winning cycle at Liverpool. He has been at Anfield for seven years, the exact time he was in charge of Mainz and Borussia Dortmund before leaving the teams.

The seven-year crisis ended with the biggest defeat in the history of the great English derby, Liverpool 7 x 0 Manchester United. Remember that ten days ago there was Liverpool 2 x 5 Real Madrid.

Klopp has already spoken, in England, about the mistakes he knows about the continuous dismissals in Brazil. Just to remember…

Today, the temptation will be Andrés Rueda, president of Santos, who has already had six technicians in two years and will be invited by the fans to change one more. It cannot!

The first chosen by the current president was Ariel Holan. The second, Fernando Diniz.

It was in the New York Times! Diniz was on the lines of the largest newspaper in the United States, in a text by columnist Rory Smith, praised for his innovative offensive system.

Fluminense is in the Libertadores and in the Rio finals. Santos does not qualify for the Paulista finals for the third year in a row. Was the chicken or the egg born first? Does a team change coaches because it doesn’t win or doesn’t win because it doesn’t give the coach time? If you don’t want to ask Jürgen Klopp, ask Abel Ferreira.

Pressure

Jürgen Klopp starts his attempt at a new job with Dutchman Gapko in a different role. Ora is a midfielder, almost forming a midfield diamond. Now a striker, just behind Salah and Darwin Nuñez. The base of the team in the 7 x 0 is not new: pressure. There is no current football without recovering the ball.

Palmeiras sent the classic against Santos at Morumbi and has an agreement to match São Paulo. The duel of the quarterfinals, São Paulo x Água Santa, could be at Allianz Parque on Monday. There is fear among traders on the Rua Palestra Itália. Sportsmanship must prevail.
