Disastrous draw for River Piaui imo. group b is a lot easier. botafogo always brings it, bahia never takes it seriously but they still have a massive budget, sport will be serie a imo , fortaleza too now that rogerio is back.
Santa Cruz has a new manager and while I liked what he did at cuiaba this doesn't seem like it will work. They need someone to inspire the fans and players and this guy really isn't that. more from the enderson morreira cloth. I am sure he will use argel's tactic of training in the morning so players can't party. lol https://globoesporte.globo.com/pe/f...-usa-alegorias-em-chegada-ao-santa-cruz.ghtml
I'll have to ask my father in-law in February what he thinks. He was very pessimistic about them when we spoke in September about Santa.
Schulle already ran out 3 of their main signings this year lol. didira their biggest signing went missing for 10 days. Its getting ugly there. the warley situation is also bad.
o torcida e' acordando finalmente. https://globoesporte.globo.com/ba/f...de-feira-no-primeiro-teste-da-temporada.ghtml
My reactions from the 1st rd. Santa cruz x Bahia - Schulle is doing what I thought he would but I was surprised by the performance. They easily could have won it. Bahia looked really good at times but the new signing Daniel didn't add nothing to their build up. Bahia is still only a team dangerous on the counter. Bahia had the better chances but Santa could have easily won. Santa didn't sit back but look for other teams to do this against bahia. Juninho Capixaba was terrible for bahia and clayson added nothing. Vitoria x Fortaleza , No speed from fortaleza, Rogerio complained about the lack of signings after the game again. Marlon is terrible. Vitoria has a really good 1st half but at the end of the day a sluggish fortaleza created the best chances. Ederson for fortaleza doesn't look like an answer. Vitoria will do things in the serie b Csa x Sport - Pimpao was terrible for CSA and I just watched the second half. Seemed like Guto woodshedded Baureuri from a tactical standpoint. Counter after Counter. Barcia looked really good 4 sport and i liked bileu on csa. Ceara x Frei Paulistano- Ceara blows 2 nill lead and it was frustrating. Rodrigao had an easy tap in and shot it like a field goal when it could have been 3 nill. Frei Paulistano played Ceara off the pitch in the 2nd half. Was pathetic. Nautico x river - River was the better team. Nautico had a chance to win it with a last minute penalty and some scrub took it instead of Kieza. Kieza entered mid 2nd half and made a difference. But Nautico has serious problems.
The Northeastern clubs Bahia, Ceará and Fortaleza have achieved management and financial stability, unlike so many Rio and São Paulo clubs. https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/repo...ja-peitam-clubes-mais-ricos-do-pais/index.htm
