Yesterday we had the return of Brazilian Football via the national cup fixture against Atlético PR. Cruzeiro could draw to go through to the next cup phase so 1x1 was what they needed.
A few interesting details could be observed about Cruzeiro, the current title holders:
We still have a very solid GK (Fábio), the defensive line of 4 seems heavy in terms of names but could still improve considering their potential, Edilson could become more of a RWB like his Gremio days, and Dedé CB afterall is still recovering from recurrent, several injuries in a row. Léo seemed decent, and the LB also wasn't a positive or negative highlight.
In terms of highlights, Rafael Sóbis played like an a winger or attacker that was "very linked " to the midfielders actions and that opened lots of spaces all the way through Atlético's team.
He had also a fantastic long distance shot from outside the box that has almost beaten the Atlético GK.
The biggest lesson about Cruzeiro seems to be that they look like a decent host to back over this 2nd part of season, to be observed closely especially when nice opportunities such as down by 1 against mid to poor teams show up.
