Championships estaduais (each of the states of the Brazilian Federation), which occupy the first months year are now more or less in their environment, the opportunity to take stock of the only two that are of little interest as self-because only a few disputed the state championships Rio (the "Carioca") and São Paulo (the "Paulista").
Regarding the Carioca, therefore, it is played on two successive cuts, which are called Taça Guanabara (first with the final being played this Sunday, I'll be back soon), and Taça Rio for the second, which begins after the final of the Taça Guanabara. Each cup is played first by two groups of ten teams, then the top 2 from each group play the semifinals cross before the decision at a final single match. This year, zero surprise, the 4 top teams in Rio were left to compete in the semi-finals. The group stage has purred, with teams of fourth type box Madureira, Boavista, Resende and Volta Redonda, which will take Taules cons or the Vasco Flamengo ... Only significant bang this month and a half of scarcity: correction that Vasco da Gama well risen and strengthened for this season has fined a Botafogo amorphous, 6-0 ... 3 goals including the former idol of Fogão, Dodo. Coach Bota Estevam Soares, has not survived this humiliation, and was replaced by Joel Santana , a legend of football Carioca (I will soon post a special on this colorful character!).
short, the semi-finals which were held this week, we found the famous club 4! :
- Vasco Fluminense faced Saturday 13 before an audience of very sparse audience (35,000 people Maraca, only) because of ... Carnival! The match was disappointed by its content, with few sharp actions, a Fred, the former Lyon, who harvested everything he could, and a decision was made to pénos. Gigante is the the Colina (one of many nicknames club Vasco, because the seat of the club is on the mini-hill Sao Januario ...) that finally won, 6 to 5 shots on goal.
- Everyone was waiting for Flamengo wins in the second semi-final against Botafogo, in order to regain Clasico Clasicos of Rio, which had not played for two years (Vasco went down in Series B in 2009 ...), who clash sees 10 titles of champion Brazil (6 Fla., 4 to vascainos ). And then ... patatra, yesterday was a black day for my Flamenguistas, rubro-negro my heart has bled a lot, since these thieves Bota (good, ok they have not played too badly ...) prevailed 2-1 in extremis! Yet dominated Fla., has not played too badly, but ran into a good Jefferson ( goleiro the Fogão) and clearly lacked realism! And doublet Imperio do Amor (Adriano and Vagner Love) have too knitted to be effective ...
Here, look, the best moments of the match:
the side of the state championship in Sao Paulo, things are simpler but ultimately also more ... chiantes: we play a full league to 20 teams, Phase way (phew!), but hey That's still 19 days to paw with big shocks São Caetano-type Monte Azul and Rio Branco-Rio Claro, in short, the matches without any interest and with an average of 15 viewers while a break ... We vibrouille bit more when one of clasicos state is played (Seeing the s'affonter Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo FC or Corinthians), but otherwise it is soft ... Currently, there is the 9th day (10 more to come, what chore!), And Peixe Santos are quietly leading with 22 points and 7 wins. I must admit they have an attack that has the mouth, with the gifted Neymar (just 18 years old, pictured right), and which will be discussed soon, and the return of Robinho, who was polishing the bench of the new rich Man City, and has helped put a golaço the day of his return on lawns do Brasil (see video below)! short, still 9 days before returning to the exciting fragrance semifinals paulista! Continued on Goooooooooooool! course!
