Color greetings!
I’m a little late in the afternoon but I couldn’t stop by.
What a special night last night. On the high wire, the acrobat leaped into the air and landed back on his two feet.
Before the game, at the crowd party, it already looked like we were going to qualify. Afterwards, Colorado was imperative on the field, a posture that we only started to see when Coudet arrived. I hope that now you understand why I defend him here.
Unfortunately against the Argentines, the game only ends in the final minute. Guys are alive to the end always. And in a naughty corner we bleed.
On penalties, a movie flashed through my head. I was in the last two eliminations in Beira-Rio and froze. But things were completely different this time. As the coach wasn’t a coward and didn’t need to fill the team with boys in the second half, we had a team of snakes to beat the penalties. We didn’t make any mistakes until the alternates.
I feel sad for De Pena. He is a willful player and played at left-back against Corinthians on Saturday, intending to be available for the team. The problem is that he has some curse on his body and needs to soak for a while, until he regains his confidence.
This time luck turned to us. Everyone played well and the first leg brought us home very much alive.
I hope this is repeated against Bolivar. Their team is interesting and plays at altitude. We can’t lose 3-1 there, as happened with Atlético-PR.
Despite being a difficult stop, I’m not afraid. I trust our coach. He hasn’t shown any show of stubbornness or sparrowness so far. He knows the scolding he has embraced and seems to be being very pragmatic, aligning his good knowledge of tactics with the quick solutions that the moment calls for.
I’m too happy. The party was beautiful, the result was right, and now we have two weeks of preparation. There is time for the team to fit in even more and for the starters who have just returned from injury to recover their game rhythm. Until Bolivar, we will have an even better repertoire.
Happy Birthday to us! Five games to go.
