The team returned to work with 4 hires and a soap opera. With this squad, it is quite possible to form a good team, including variations in attack. I wouldn’t know about defense, as I’ve never seen Robert Renan play.
At the end of last year, the team ended with Aranguiz as the first midfielder, but with the news of midfielder signings, or interest, I have no idea what Coudet thinks about the position, although I think he would consider this alternative.
Up front, we have Hyoran and Maurício as articulators, plus Wanderson, Alario and Enner, Bruno Henrique with a good pass, and Gabriel Barros and Lucca as alternatives, if I’m not forgetting anyone.
The main issue is the debut on the 21st, even behind closed doors, too early to start a season, and losing a player now would be very bad.
I always argue that we have players in the base and reserves with the possibility of facing a Gaucho team, and I think that should be the case, and if we tested our under-18 base against 20/21 year old kids, I would have no problem using them. under the command of Coudet, even though it is a disjointed team. The question is how much the crowd can take.
Regarding the ball rolling, we were eliminated in the cup, and there are many explanations about this, some including the team’s tactical disposition with a coach who doesn’t know much about this disposition.
My question about the base is that our kids are very good, like most kids from other teams, and, among the big guys, I think we stand out for our quality.
Gabriel, Henrique, Ricardo and others are very good on the ball, but I thought our full-backs were weak. Enzo is a player with a lot of quality, the ball dies at his foot, and he has an excellent pass, besides not being scared, he is a player that I would put in Coudet’s care for six months, to learn what intensity means in professional football. I think we will have a great player.
That’s why I think that the base is not and has never been a problem, but the transition is.
The idea of this direction is very clear, to anticipate the training of the kids by placing them to play with older categories. I don’t know if it will work, I don’t even know if this is what River did when Grossi was there, but it is clearly a different way to what has been done in recent years, in which players after their first cup were already at professional age, and normally they were used in a different position than they played at the base.
I think the club must be aware of this bottleneck, and that it has not been able to overcome the funnel in recent years, and will do something different in the transition.
Of course, I saw formation defects, our goalkeeper having immense difficulty in kicking the ball forward and in the goal kick, and a slow recovery of the full-backs, in addition to the usual excessive ball handling, a defect due to the age of almost all young players.
However, I thought the team was disciplined, even with the wrong positioning guidelines, which were very wrong in the last game, the team continued to play the same way, only changing in the second half, when they improved and played well until the goalkeeper delivered the third goal.
This issue of tactical discipline is important, preventing players from trying to resolve a game on their own when they are losing, which we saw a lot, including in the professional team in other seasons.
Therefore, I continue to give a vote of confidence in the work, hoping to reap rewards later, even if not related to titles.
