Fernandinho could be “El Cid” saving the Baixada Kingdom

Athletico plays against Cruzeiro, in Baixada. Although this game will not solve your mathematical life, it can influence your future within the Brasileirão for good or for bad.

From this game onwards, Furacão will show whether or not they have the conditions to save themselves from relegation. But who could command him in search of salvation?

For the Spanish, there is only one immortal: Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. His story, narrated as a legend due to his military conquests, immortalized him as “El Cid Campeador”.

For historians, “El Cid was the one who shaped the history of the Iberian Peninsula”, especially after the conquest of Valencia. Its ending, as history or as legend, continues to hold a fascination in the Spanish collective memory to this day. It was a source of courage for his armies, and of terror for his enemies.

Being a source of courage for their army and terror for their enemies, with “El Cid” already dead, the Muslims wanted to invade Valencia. Then, his wife Jemina ordered the armor to be placed on his corpse and tied to a horse in front of the army of the Kingdom of Castile.

The Muslim troops retreated and left. At the cinema, Charlton Heston (El Cid) and Sophia Loren (Jemina) drip beauty oil.

What does “El Cid” have to do with Athletico?

It has everything to do with it.

After Fernandinho was excluded due to injury, the already fragile tactical structure that existed collapsed. Without Fernandinho, Athletico lost its leader, lost its star, and lost the light that illuminated the weak to victories.

The news is that Fernandinho will be on the bench against Cruzeiro and could even play for some time.

Only Fernandinho’s presence on the field and in the dressing room will have consequences. It will exert an influence whose effects, however small they may be, will create a positive aura, dispensing with the sinister pact with the fans, proposed by the unfortunate idea of ​​Furacão’s social networks. My feeling is that Fernandinho, the immortal, is emerging.
