Opinion – PVC: The Cup starts now

by

Sadio Mané played his first match for Bayern in the German Supercup final, which he won 5-3, with his own goal, against Leipzig. The first game of the German Championship of the striker, ex-Liverpool, will be this Friday (5), against Eintracht, in Frankfurt.

Bayern will show their new team, without Lewandowski, and with 20 likely squads for the World Cup in November. The winger Kostic, from Serbia, Brazil’s rival, plays for Frankfurt.

Gabriel Jesus scored seven of Arsenal’s 27 pre-season goals. He will make his first Premier League game against Crystal Palace, along with 12 other players close to being called up for the World Cup.

France, England and Germany will kick off their national championships this weekend, which is to say that the Cup starts now. From now until November 21, when the ball rolls in Qatar, there will be 16 rounds and six more of the Champions League.

The Cup’s stars will arrive refreshed, carrying just 22 matches before entering the national team football frenzy. Unlike what happened in all 21st century World Cups.

In 2002, Zidane arrived in Asia with 50 games behind him and a left-footed goal from the angle of goalkeeper Butt, from Bayer Leverkusen. He had a muscle injury and played just once in the World Cup, against Denmark, and with an injured thigh pad.

Ronaldo introduced himself to the national team after a season with 17 matches, only three complete. He scored eight goals and immortalized himself with the title and the artillery.

There is a huge chance that the World Cup will have the best technical level of the century, because it will have well-rested players and mild weather in the Qatari winter. Until you get there, it will be important to observe what will happen in the next 22 matches, on average, between national championships and international cups.

Apparently, Neymar understood that. If you doubt it, enter the Paris Saint-Germain star’s social networks. Of the last ten images published, seven are with football elements around, one with the son and another with a rodeo hat and the phrase: “This photo sums up my vacation a lot, just laughter and joy next to the people I love .Now it’s full focus!!!!”.

There are a thousand chances between here and the World Cup. Injuries, fights, confusion and the chance for those who want to play at a high level, in November, to prepare themselves now. This does not mean preserving yourself, but using the physical condition of the European season, the most intense matches as training for the hottest games of the season – which, this year, exceptionally, may take place between teams, not between clubs.

Hence the need, in order to understand what will happen in November, to observe every week of European football. Who will shine or be opaque in Qatar will depend on the end of the collective work of the national teams and also on the individual care of each player.

Of the 28 called up by Tite for the June friendlies, against Japan and South Korea, 16 play in England, France and Germany. Eight are between Spain and Italy, whose seasons will start next week. The Spaniards will only have 14 league games, two fewer than the English. More chance for Raphinha, Vinicius Junior, Casemiro, Rodrygo and Militão to travel to Asia in peace.

More than half of the population (54%) believes in the success of the selection, indicates Datafolha. It’s too much trust. Brazil is a candidate, not a favorite. Everything will depend on the next three months. They start now.
