The Hurricane beware. The CBF president’s team has become dangerous

Against Cruzeiro, the Athletico He played with a lot of emotion, with chance and with little reason. With these components, against a reserve opponent, saving himself for the continental semi-final, and with ten players from the second three, he had an easy time: 3×0.

Against Vitória, a “game of infinite points”, Athletico will have to play more wisely. Chance does not have a contract with any club. Not being in the essence of things, it can be unfaithful and disloyal. Suddenly, you can return to Baixada, but hand in hand with the Bahians.

Vitória is not a flower to be smelled. In this championship, he already looked more like a Segundona. Under the command of Thiago Carpini, he received corrections and, within his limitations, he is facing and beating big people. It has improved so much, that it is managing to be just as bad as Furacão and Corinthians, the two big players who are terrified of the area.

And, if that wasn’t enough, the “Leão da Barra” provokes deep feelings in the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues. It is one of the explanations why, directly or indirectly, some field and video refereeing errors coincide with Vitória’s interests. Suspending the referee after an error does not disregard the fait accompli of the result and its consequences.

Lucho González’s Athletico is an enigma. It’s just that a team fighting against relegation must have some secrets that it itself doesn’t know. Perhaps, by keeping the “Gringos from Lara” excluded, by keeping João Cruz and Julimar, Furacão will once again play with reason. If it doesn’t happen, the only thing left for Atletico fans to do is carry the team on their backs using the strength of their hearts.
