Opinion – Juca Kfouri: The result of the result: those who see the score rarely look at the performance

Winning in Brazilian football is what matters, said Conselheiro Acácio, had the character not been created by Eça de Queiroz in 1878, for the book Primo Basílio, 16 years before Charles Miller landed in Brazil with two balls and the rulebook , as well as a pair of cleats, used uniforms and a pump to fill the balls.

As São Paulo beat Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil, there are already those who say that all of this is not alviverde, although they say with great fear of what will happen in the return game.

And Corinthians, which, unlike Palmeiras against São Paulo, won in the Copa do Brasil and also only drew in the Brazilian Championship against Santos?

As everything depends on the result, the 2-1 victory for Palmeiras in stoppage time is already minimized, as if discounts were not part of the game, and the 1-0 defeat in the first knockout match proved that there is no reason to fear it.

Corinthians, on the other hand, are treated after the 0-0 against who had made it 4-0 three days before, although in the second game they used seven boys, as if they had thrown two points in the trash.

Now, in the first place, Santos is Santos, not the thrashed bunch, and, between saving to seek a good result against Boca Juniors this Tuesday (28) to move forward in Libertadores and invest in the Brazilian that won’t be able to win, The choice made seems to be correct.

Had he won, and he was on the verge of winning, he would be bestial.

Then even the boy Du Queiroz felt muscle problem and becomes a doubt to face the Xeneizes.

It’s curious how everyone is convinced that the calendar is inhumane, but at the time of a negative result, the massacre of muscles, bones and minds is forgotten and the charge is made as if we lived the best of all worlds, with games only once. a week, maybe two, never three.

Even more curious is seeing the fans understand the coaches’ interviews better than the critics.

This reminds me of a not-so-distant time when altitude was considered cool because, without being true, it was said that Pele’s Santos played in La Paz and scored, which never happened, because they won tight in Bolivia and, then, massacred in Vila Belmiro.

In 1962, for example, the only time Santos played in the Bolivian capital for Libertadores, the victory against Deportivo Municipal was 4-3. Three days later, in the most famous village in the world, the result was 6-1. .

National denialism is not limited to vaccines and Covid, attacks on the environment, hunger or federal corruption, but also what the Sports Sciences say.

Don’t think the rare reader and the rare reader that all this catiline is to justify the bad results of the last two games of the Brazilian Bayern, Palmeiras, including the 2-2 draw with Avaí, in Ressacada, by saving more than half team in good game for the Brazilian.

Because Bayern won the German championship with five defeats and five draws in 34 games in 2021/2022.

Was Abel Ferreira wrong to save holders in Santa Catarina?

None of that. He just thought that life goes on and that there is a lot to face until the end of the season.

It takes, at the very least, a little empathy, to put yourself in the shoes of others, in this case, coaches, their possibilities and frustrations.

The two Portuguese coaches got it right.
