Drawing on the language of today’s young people, I would say that Internacional cannot see a fiasco in the Copa do Brasil that they soon rush to embrace. It’s amazing how over time (not that long) we’ve managed to embarrass ourselves so much in this competition.
Only today will not be another one of these episodes. Not today. So I trust, sincerely.
Dear Grandma (on my mother’s side) was the sweetest and kindest person I’ve ever known. She lived less than she deserved and unfortunately suffered a lot in her final bed. Since she was young, she learned to run the farm, since practically only women lived there. There weren’t seven, as in the book that spawned the famous miniseries, but it was a centenary mansion of women of pride. So much so, with Grandpa’s early passing, it didn’t take much for her to take over the reins of the family’s livelihood, which was cattle raising.
In addition to being a handy cook, Grandma was very practical. Unlike her husband, she was more open-minded; for example, while for him it was a mockery to take space for the cattle, she understood that plowing a piece of field for a crop and planting a crop was quite productive in addition to fattening the cattle in the winter. She wasn’t even open-minded, after all, at that time modernity was not known, but she saw beyond the horizons of the gate she owned.
However, when the subject came to the horses, a pragmatism emerged in Grandma. Aside from the old Tubiano who became the darling of the grandchildren (including and especially the one who writes to you), sheltered enchanted by his meekness, the other animals had to serve and be ready to deal with the countryside. A horse to roam free in the pasture, wandering aimlessly through the folded fields of the mountains, was no good for her. In his understanding, first of all, a horse should have its own courage to face whatever comes ahead, whether a turkey, a shed or, mainly, a wetland. And these were many out there.
For some time now, part of our fans and surroundings have been treating Internacional like a tired horse. I don’t think so, after all, Colorado itself often makes a point of assimilating this flaw. What is certain is that Inter is indeed a tired horse, disappointed in some careers in which it was so close to the podium and, in the last quarter, lost its breath and fell by the wayside.
The truth, however, is only one: Internacional himself has to know what kind of horse he wants to be in this race. When it comes to the Copa do Brasil, it has historically been a tame animal, which even entertains for a while, but does not go far. If you choose to pass today, and you should – let’s face it, at least it will appear to show that the tired version is behind you. Evidence is that it has to show itself to be a horse ready for handling, as the late Grandma hoped hers would be.
Like dear Dona Neuza and her horses, I hope Internacional is brave today. Having your own courage to face whatever comes ahead.
And win in Alagoas. Win this race.
SHORTS
– Mano Menezes in the last match showed that he has evolved in relation to himself. He was successful in his substitutions, but very lucky too;
– But, let’s face it, in football, it’s not the unlucky ones who win;
– I always liked Maurício, even if it seems like an eternal seesaw. I’m going to give you a discount because you have a “beautiful” reason at home to sometimes earn less than you can;
– Without prior excitement, however, with regard to Gustavo Campanharo, I advanced my good perspective here;
– We played for two results (draw and victory) and with a game like the coach: the counterattack. Maybe it was game to keep Alan Patrick on the bench. It would save Renê too;
– By the way, speaking of Renê, he is not a playmaker but he is a tactically valuable player;
– As for Tauan Lara, who I demonstrated here not to take faith, has positively surprised me;
– It’s easy to do journalism these days. Stupidity would be Igor Gomes himself not wanting to play full-back because he is a defender, when precisely what is most lacking in world football is a good full-back;
– The most pessimistic think that without zebras so far in the round of the Copa do Brasil, the fiasco will fall on Colorado. No mongrel syndrome here. We will win and good. “Print and they cover me later”, as the young people would say.
