So far, Raposa’s performance disappointed his fans. Against Tombense, last Thursday, the team counted 19 submissions, a deceptive number due to the excess of long-distance shots, without offering danger to the opposing goalkeeper. Of the three real chances, Felipe Garcia made good saves in attempts by Felipe Augusto and Airton. In turn, Matheus Barbosa hit the left post after the back of the defense.
The difficulties were already wide open in previous duels. Basically, players rotate the ball from side to side in search of space, but they run into the marking lines. Forced to start with defensive midfielders, sides and defenders, the team ends up transmitting a feeling of slowness to those who watch. In the midst of all this, the question arises: if the deficits in Mineiro are so evident, how can the performance of the group be seen in Series B of the Brazilian Championship? Is there time to correct them?
Having liked what he saw against Tombense, Conceio made few adjustments to the starting lineup. He intends to define a base team before Srie B, to start on May 28 or 29, against Confiana, in Sergipe. A forced change on the left side: Matheus Pereira to replace Alan Ruschel, who is suspended. In the midfield, Rmulo might be the surprise. The expectation that the 33-year-old veteran will put into practice the reading of the game acquired in nine seasons in Italy – he scored 17 goals and gave 34 assists in 218 games for Fiorentina, Verona, Juventus, Genoa, Lazio and Brescia.While Cruzeiro dreams of victory to chase away the mistrust of his fans, Boa desperately fights against relegation to Module II. Coruja’s only triumph was over Coimbra, 2-1, in Varginha, for the fourth round. Striker Jefferson, responsible for the two goals, will be on the pitch this Sunday. The assistant Cesinha will be an interim technician, since the newly hired Gabardo Junior, formerly Vitria da Conquista (BA), has not yet had his name published in the CBF IDB. The club from Sul de Minas ranks 11th in Mineiro, with only four points.
