Brasileirão 2010, summary of previous episodes! June 26 to September 8, 2010 ... Nearly two and a half months of vacation ... I realize with some horror that I left aside my Goooooooooooooooool! of
amor, taken by a sudden passion and almost exclusively called (named, said the drafting of the chore was completed in 1 week) "Guide to Rio / Minas Gerais 2011" of "Little Smart"!
short, only to find that with the runaway
Copa do Mundo (we will not return the results of the Seleção like even more shocking to our Blues give me a legitimate desire to spend something else), I missed the entire first phase of the Brasileirão 2010 (excellent -! - Brazilian National Championship) without even lay a wretched little post!
I will try, in two and four movements to give you a topical summary of the first leg, before accompanying forcefully passion phase back! :)
1. The revival of football carioca!
No way to complain, as a resident lovers
Cidade Maravilhosa : the four teams playing this Rio Series A 2010 show the best average score since the inception of the Championship under the formula of "pontos corridos" (full championship round trip), established in 2003! Better at the end of first leg, the lights
Fluminense, dying last year and fled the extreme accuracy of the descent, are leading the championship,
alvinegros Botafogo are tied for third and the race for the next Libertadores, and v
aiscanos (da Gama) received wages in 8th place in the league, but still an impressive series of 11 matches without defeat! Only Flamengo, Flamengo my, does not lie in the first part of the classification: it drags on a miserable 14th place, far from its status as title holder, 2009, with only 5 wins in 19 games skinny ...

| Deco-Corico |
Explaining the success of some and the misfortunes of others (rubro-negros in this case ...)?
- For
Fluminense, is both the recruitment of the best Brazilian coach last 5 years (3 consecutive titles with São Paulo FC between 2006 and 2008)
Muricy Ramalho , but also a massive investment in renowned and experienced players: Luso-Brazilian Environmental and former Chelsea Deco
(see photo below cons), the
artilheiro São Paulo Washington (already passed by the Flu elsewhere), the "sheikh" now
tricolor Emerson .. . everything has managed to retain its two chips, the Argentinian midfielder Conca
and former Lyon striker Fred (even if the latter, as usual, is injured all the time ...). The history of the club sponsor, Unimed (insurance), and his boss Celso Barros (complètement. .. crossed for Flu) was pleased Pharaonic spending this year and he hopes to get the benefit with a second championship in Brazil, 26 years after the single title gleaned by
maquina tricolor in 1984, so ...
- The
Botafogo, meanwhile, clocked a recruitment less flashy but not necessarily less effective: after his attackers doublette
Loco Gringos Herrera-Abreu (yes the king of the Uruguayan
Panenka , cf Uruguay-Ghana at the Copa!), the club has managed to repatriate alvinegro his ex-jewel
Maicosuel , which languished in Hoffenheim, but the former banned
Jobson (nabbed trying to powder her nose last year ...). No big stars, but instead an collective coherent and well oiled by the expert hands of
paizão , coach Joel Santana
(not the last to open, too, a priori).
- For
Vasco da Gama, returning from a 2009 season in hell in Serie B, success has a name, and only one: PC Gusmão, the coach of the Hill since the 8th day, which made a team in crisis (4 defeats in seven matches, a status of relegation) block meaningful and effective if not sexy: 11 matches on the bench with Vasco, 5 wins and 6 draws! All with a team with a tad of cardboard, which is only distinguished playmaker Carlos Alberto
(European champion with Porto in 2004) and veteran Felipe, 2 times champion with Vasco in the late 90s, and income of a Saudi exile to try to revive the son of its former glory ...

| Tic Tac and are in a boat rubro-negro ... |
-
Flamengo, meanwhile, did all the Flamengo (the big mess, but it's also why we love him): his attackers - Off-the-Law Featured
Adriano and Vagner Love were barred under skies (Legal) warmer (for Gradriano Roma, CSKA Moscow for the Lover do Brasil), the
goleiro and equally off - the Legislative
Bruno is in jail for ordering the cutting into pieces of his former Mistress (!!), and our national Zico, who became general manager of the club rubro-negro, a nice scoop on bateaur takes water from all sides, led until recently by an appointed baltringue Rogério Lourenço (coach finally dismissed Here are two days). In short, scrawny attack, the worst in Serie A (14 goals in 19 games), which should still score a little more with the arrival precipitated by two former future star (Letts) championships Greek and Turkish, the DD (Diogo and Deivid in photo-cons) ...
2. Corinthians, 100 years or never :
|
| (Very g) Ronaldo |
On 6 September 1910, Corinthians of Sao Paulo in the world ... born 100 years battery after the nap, they became the biggest club in the country Paulista, the second
Torcida Brazil (20 million
Fanaticos corintianos ) behind my untouchable nação Flamengo and the 33 million members, a religion more a team, club or played a certain
Socrates, and that (tries to) play (r) a Ronaldo! To celebrate the centenary of the club, Corinthians dreamed of winning this year (for the first time in their history) Copa Libertadores:
is finally Internacional of Porto Alegre who won ). .. The (beautiful) consolation prize would bring in São Paulo Brasileirão trophy champion, and
corintianos employ them, and rather well: in the mid-tournament, and despite the departure of the Seleção their iconic coach Mano Menezes
they have received wages for 2nd place in the championship, only 1 point behind Fluminense. The fight for the championship seems to be confined to those two, even if the road is still long, and if third, Santos Neymar, is only 6 points for Corinthians. In the opinion of all, in fact, the lights
Rio and São Paulo alvinegros (the latter with the veterans in their ranks Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, but also excellent Dentinho, Jucilei or Elias) have the best people in the country and are more regular competition (only 3 defeats in 19 matches for both teams) to ... all sire, if my Flamengo, I'd be quite happy to see this legendary team of Corinthians pocket a fifth league title in Brazil, nose and beard of the Flu:)
3. Brasileirão 2010: more than ghosts, less than starters :
|
| Neymar and beautiful teeth |
While the international transfer window has closed a big week here The traditional exodus of Brazilian footballers to Europe has been the rich tend to dry up this year as well, some (future) great Brazilian players escaped in the summer. With the exception of the young striker Santos, André (Dynamo Kiev party) or the wonder
vascaino Philippe Coutinho , who joined Inter Milan, and if one puts aside the special case of Players in "transit" (Adriano Vagner Love, Robinho
), who returned a few months in the country to recover his health before the World Cup this year has finally been more marked by the return home of many good players (admittedly mostly a bit old ...), type Roberto Carlos (Corinthians), Deco (Fluminense), Deivid (Flamengo), Belletti (Fluminense), Felipe (Vasco) Keirrison (Santos), Rafael Sobis (Internacional), Maicosuel (Botafogo) ... or even the non-departure to greener paying a lot of talent, the most iconic being the pearl of Santos
Neymar , who at 18 years ( well he has time eh ...) decided to stay at least another year in his first club, rather than responding to the call of rubles books of Chelsea! Neymar not alone in this: his teammate Ganso (perhaps the future best player in the world if he is recovering well from his recent breakup of the ligaments of the knee), but also excellent
Kleber (Palmeiras), Diego Tardelli (Atletico-MG), Diego Souza (Atletico-MG), Fred (Fluminense), Willians (Flamengo), Guinazu (Internacional) ... remained in Brazil this year, to the delight of
torcedores the country! Obviously, the international crisis has much to do, which slowed significantly soaring transfer market, but the good economic situation in Brazil as well, which has enabled many clubs rely on powerful sponsors to "block" departure to higher wages for most of the players mentioned (Unimed with Flu, Seara with Santos, BMG with Atletico-MG, Internacional Banrisul with ...). Great news also for the quality of the national championship, weaker than what the Brazilians think (they are convinced the devils, to have the hardest championnatr the world ...), but most believe that this side as the Europeans (not all teams do not play in slow motion:).
4. Top and flop :
|
| A Luxa on crutches ... |
- The top
, we said and we repeat it is
tricolor Fluminense, rose from hell last year (35 days on 38 position by relegation to paradise ...), in 2010: 11 wins and only 3 defeats in 19 matches, a grapeshot attack (33 goals, including 7 of the sheik
Emerson and 6 of grandpa Washington), a group trust, renowned coach ... All the ingredients for the Flu is the team of the year ... unless otherwise agreed by the Corinthians!
- The
flop, no doubt, is the team's moribund Atletico-MG (Belo Horizonte): while the club's passionate president Kalil is one of those who has invested the most in the offseason (the "king of the melon"
Vanderlei Luxemburgo on the bench for more than R $ 500 k month!, maintaining the team of "star" Diego Tardelli, hiring expensive Diego Souza, of the former Obina and Daniel Carvalho from CSKA Moscow ...), the results are pitiful, with already 12 defeats in 19 matches (including 6 home!), a defense cardboard (2nd worst in the league with 34 goals conceded) and a dismal 17th place in the boat to row for Round B. .. Hey, Luxemburgo is when you "squirt"?
Come on, your comments, friends, soccer players do Brasil and beyond!
