Debut on the right foot. We started the year the same way we ended it: victory and a goal from Baralhas, our Daburá. First three points and counting.
The match started very turbulently, as the ball hardly rolled. Right at the beginning, a possible penalty, which was well canceled by the VAR, but which took an absurd amount of time to be awarded. Then, fouls, mistakes and more fouls and nothing from Vitória developing. The game was slow and very ugly, but even so, we had chances to open the score. It lacked quality.
If it wasn’t prohibited to substitute a player in the first half in Brazilian football, Aitor, who has already helped a lot, would certainly have left, since, impressively, he made absolutely mistakes in everything he tried. In the second stage, the hope was for the three defenders and number 17 to leave.
In part, the request was fulfilled, we didn’t leave the scheme, but Erick and Dudu, especially the second one, made all the difference. What our midfielder did yesterday is what is expected of him. The left-handed citizen put the game in his pocket and boosted everyone, Vitória looked different.
In this way, the triangulations occurred and after some consecutive errors, after an assist from the new old 33, Kayser unmarked himself and tested the black head on the white ball, as João Andrade says. After the goal, he gave up his place and Fabri joined the famous 3 counts. He suffered a penalty, gave a pre-assist, scored a goal, but it was offside and died. Standard, I don’t get excited, but I know it can help in specific contexts.
The victory was a matter of time, everything was planned, but that was not what happened. Okay, I’m not complaining, the three points are the same. Victory at Barradas. Now, stay tuned, because we already have a direct confrontation in the next round against Palmeiras.
