Often, just like yesterday, professional commitments prevented me from following the team on the field, even on television. In fact, young people here are privileged as there was a time when cable TV was a privilege for the few and only the wealthiest had access to a football package. I, however, am still from the time before, when not even pay per view there was and, with luck, the old Difusora would sometimes release the signal of a game from Colorado to Rio Grande. The leading company, as they call it, never liked us and continues to dislike us. So, if they are one way, I always go the other.
I am left with the old radio (which has been good for a long time) which for a tired heart like mine is no longer recommended, as its actors have destroyed the mystique of the competence of the past and today it has little or nothing to offer . Nobody does it anymore to tell about a football game as it is really happening: one eye is on the fish (game) and the other on the cat (cell phone). They think they see everything and they see nothing.
The first half, apparently, was not a technical masterpiece for Internacional. A “pro-spend” football from a team that, as a rule, is in the first stage that makes the run and touches the opponent with heat. And perhaps the heat, not of the team, but of the city of Cuiabá explains an initially lukewarm Inter: either that or there would be a lack of legs for the last stage of the match. Something tells me, therefore, that it was strategy in the way we (not) played football in the first half to the detriment of the second, where it wasn’t simple pragmatic football, but results-based football.
Which, without wanting to impose confusion on the minds of noble friends here at BV, transformed the triumph into a pragmatic victory. Now, we needed to win and we did so with the weapons we knew and had at our disposal. In fact, we also achieved a pragmatic victory in the previous game. Winning, after all, was all that mattered.
And in this context, see that the funny thing about football is that until yesterday many thought (without much reason, in my opinion) about relegation and today we are already here calculating the possibility of taking eighth place in the national championship, running away next year. of the initial stages of the Copa do Brasil that almost always leave us facing fiascos. Skipping this step is important, smart and pragmatic.
And there is nothing more pragmatic in football than winning. If possible, play well, but, before anything else, always try to win. Wins! Pragmatic or not, however, victories.
Winning is the certainty of a spontaneous smile on your face.
SHORTS
– Male Coudet It may have some flaws and yes, it obviously does. But his greatest quality outweighs any negative streak: he always wants to win;
– I don’t see it as different: an Inter with some prospects in 2024 starts with Eduardo Germán Coudet as coach;
– Igor Gomes is not yet the defender of my dreams, but he can still thrive in the position;
– From what I saw, I liked Campanharo. Perhaps neither he nor PH can be labeled a dead chicken yet;
– Those who once spoke of Wanderson are certainly tongue-tied: what a spectacular assist for our Enner Valencia’s great goal;
– Yes, it’s ours. And wait for your opponents to cry in a warm bed next year;
– Speaking of assistance, Maurício’s wasn’t far behind. But Renê’s pass for him was one of those that, in itself, was worth the price of admission;
– What the team lacks is a tight rope. When our footballers play for a plate of food, victory is always closer. Internacional is not an ornamental team;
– Coudet said after the game that he never worried about relegation, and explained his reasons. If the boss has spoken, he has spoken!
QUESTION
Is two more victories still possible, Internacional?
Colorado’s victories always put smiles on our faces.
