Opinion – PVC: There are allies of Abel Ferreira and Renato Gaúcho in their clubs

by

Flamengo’s victories over Atlético and Palmeiras against Grêmio will give Abel and Renato days of peace, after difficult weeks. In the internal environment, conflicts are few.

A conversation with one of the leaders of Flamengo’s group of players helps to understand that Renato Gaúcho is not the villain of the intuitive game, as much as he made himself appear last week. “He is a positive surprise.”

Those who sentence will be preserved in anonymity.

It’s clear that his training is not as modern as Rogério Ceni’s was, but the experience of someone who has spent a lot of time abroad realizes:

“Rogério had different trainings, but in the rush of the calendar, with games every day, even the most refined training ends up decreasing, due to the need for rest. Jorge Jesus was one of the best coaches I’ve had, but his trainings were extremely simple. what made a difference was that each conversation, each lecture, each video was a class.”

The team leaders like Renato’s work.

It is not possible for Brazil to settle for the delay, nor is it the case of doing the opposite and ostracizing all old habits. Moving forward is about expanding the culture to new coaches, not burning the old ones.

Flamengo’s organizational difference is remarkable. Jorge Jesus concentrated players and provoked situations with more attackers than defenders close to the ball. Or with inversions on the side of the play to force the most talented players to have only one marker left. In one against one, Gabigol, De Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique almost always decide.

Michael has decided, but is usually faced with two markers. Renato is the coach and, if he fails, the responsibility will be on whoever hired him. If he was one of the most respected in the country, endorsed by critics and the public at Grêmio, he didn’t become one of the worst for four matches without a win. Nor does it have to be extolled as the best after the victory over Atlético.

This is also true for Abel Ferreira. Three Sundays ago, Palmeiras ended a series of seven games without a win and started a streak of four without defeats. On the same day, Flamengo drew against Cuiabá and began a period of two defeats and two draws, until they beat Galo.

From now until the Libertadores final, Palmeiras will have six commitments and Flamengo will play another eight times. None of the finalists will win every match until they travel to Montevideo. The two will use the Brazilian as a preparation with the hope of occupying the best possible classification.

Renato tested a new 4-4-2 against Galo, with Everton Ribeiro on the right, Michael on the left and Bruno Henrique near the area and Gabigol. De Arrascaeta’s return is missing.

Palmeiras has been leaving the game with Felipe Melo among the defenders and releasing the full-backs. Up front, Ron widens the field on the right and Piquerez on the left.

Sometimes, this formation takes space from the team in attack, instead of just opening up the rival defense.

The future president, Leila Pereira, confided to coreligionists that she intends to keep Abel Ferreira. He has a contract until December 2022. He alternates love and hate from fans and press. Who will decide the future likes their work.

The reaction

Not everything is tactical. Fábio Carille had only one victory before the start against Fluminense and Athletico. In between, the change of direction and Edu Dracena as director, trimming the edges of the locker room. There is no such thing as a miracle worker. But it still needed to speak the language of the ball at Santos.

Test for Sylvinho

The return of 100% of the public to Neo Química Arena this Monday (1), against Chapecoense, will be a test of patience for Sylvinho. Corinthians improved, but does not attack. The team’s merit is to make a team with circulation and good passes. The fans will want more evolution.
