The choice to start the game with Wallace in the middle proved to be a mistake, as the team did not control the midfield, was unable to release the ball and, contrary to expectations, left the defense very unprotected and the score was unfavorable. In the 29th minute of the first half, Lucas Silva replaced Wallace. The change completely changed Cruzeiro's attitude on the field.

Fernando Diniz at Cruzeiro At Cruzeiro, in 11 games, Fernando Diniz won just 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. The review solidified a bad moment for Raposa and showed signs of incompatibility between player and coach. If Cruzeiro wants to take revenge on Fernando Diniz, players like Malone, Wallace, João Marcelo, Romero and even Casio will not have a permanent place in the starting team. Diniz has a bold and authoritarian style of play that requires players with good ball control and above average tactical IQ. Lucas Silva made this clear the moment he entered and ended the chaos in Cruzeiro's midfield. However, one swallow does not make a summer. SAF coach, Pedro Lourenço, will have to go to the market to bring more qualified players to fulfill the roles assigned by Fernando Diniz.

Horizontal: The quality of the game in the middle. Defenders: Quick and good at passing and passing Midfielders: They have passes that break down the defense and know how to control the pace of the game. Midfielder: Technically excellent and creative. Forward: Fierce, fast, skilled. Next: Terminator and great organizer. It is now up to the management and technical committee to look for players with these qualities and identify athletes in the squad who do not fit the game profile adopted by Diniz. In addition to the right workforce, time will be a critical factor in project development.
