The first football club in Brazil was founded on July 19, 1900, the gaúcho Sport Clube Rio Grande, which is why it became the National Football Day.
Let’s agree that 11 out of 11 would be more suitable, at least for those who are interested in numerology, which is far from the situation of the scribbler of these words, by the way.
It’s not and it doesn’t matter that it isn’t because this Thursday (11) Brazilian football will have nothing to celebrate.
Suffice it to say that in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship, the six victorious home team won their games by just 1-0, no more than 1-0, miserly even as hosts.
Interestingly, the two visitors who did well won 2-0, the cases of Palmeiras, in Santos, and Athletico Paranaense, in Bragança Paulista.
But, remember how avaricious the home team Corinthians, Inter, Fluminense, Atlético Mineiro, Bahia and Ceará were, against Fortaleza, Grêmio, Sport, América, São Paulo and Cuiabá.
Even more than the difficulty in scoring goals, Patropi teams seem to die from the effort to score and, as they do, defend the advantage with nails, teeth, kicks and wax, lots of wax, under the complacency of the terrible blowers of whistle of the Casa Bandida do Futebol.
It is the culture of resultism, a tasteless neologism that has been exhaustively addressed from north to south, from east to west of this manly country, the means through which our trainers cling to keep their well-paid jobs.
Let’s agree that in the Brazil of Friedenreich, Leônidas da Silva, Pelé, Zico, Romário, dos Ronaldos, of so many scorers, tradition has been losing out on the rout.
To think that back in 2004, Washington, O Coração Brave, for the then vice-champion Atlético Paranaense, scored 34 times in the 38 games he played. The comparison with current brands is even embarrassing.
Veteran Gilberto, 32 years old, in the 29 games he played in, scored 12, just 12 goals.
Washington’s average was 0.89 goals per game. Gilberto’s, 0.41, less than half.
In 30 games, leader Galo scored 47 times in this Brazilian Championship.
In the Bundesliga, first-placed Bayern Munich has already scored 40 goals in 11 rounds, 12 of them by Lewandowski!
Yes, Lewa has more than one goal per game and his team has almost four goals on average, against Galo’s two, more exactly 1.5, although, in all fairness, Flamengo has scored 54 goals in 29 games .
It sounds repetitive and it is, but say the rare reader and the rare reader if it’s not really depressing.
And why hitting the same key so insistently if the result is the same as working out in cold iron, how can I talk to the walls?
Because there is always the hope that someone will be ashamed of the lack of quality in most games on national lawns and decide to kick the monotony aside, realize that whoever pays, whether at the box office of reopened stadiums or via subscription on closed channels, deserves shows may they be called that way.
Eleven out of 11 can and should be more than the 11th of November and become our top scorers’ goal as it is Lewandowski’s and can’t and shouldn’t be our teams’ goal average.
There is a sad consolation, however: the German League lantern, Greuther Fürth, has eight goals in 11 rounds, an average of 0.72, and Chapecoense, last in the Brazilian Nationals, scored 26 times in 31 games, with 0.83.
Are you happy?
