Selection of the Best Players from the Brazilian Championship
In the realm of Brazilian football, the end of the domestic league heralds a crucial moment where selections must be made for the best players of the Campeonato Brasileiro. A director in charge of this selection process provided insights on how to fairly evaluate players for their performances throughout the year.
Notably, the speaker emphasizes the importance of contextualizing performances based on the specific competitions: the state championship, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, and Campeonato Brasileiro should all be assessed separately. This distinction is vital to maintain the integrity of the voting process, as a player's excellence in one tournament does not necessarily equate to the same impact in another.
The discussion begins with the selection of goalkeepers. The director references options provided by globo.com, mentioning John from Botafogo, João Ricardo from Fortaleza, and Hugo Souza from Corinthians as potential candidates. While all have had commendable seasons, John stands out for his miraculous saves, particularly in a noteworthy match against Bahia.
Moving on to defenders, selections are considered for the right-back position. Among the candidates are Wesley from Flamengo, William from Cruzeiro, and Bruno Gomes from Internacional. The speaker leans towards Wesley due to significant contributions towards the end of the season, propelling Flamengo upwards in standings just before the climax of the tournament.
In the central defense, the conversation narrows down to pivotal players like Bastos and Barbosa from Botafogo, Gustavo Gomes from Palmeiras, and others. Ultimately, Gustavo Gomes earns the vote for his crucial defensive contributions that fortified Palmeiras throughout the league.
The discussion of left-backs brings in names like Arana, Bernabei from Internacional, and others. Due to injuries and inconsistencies, it’s decided that Bernabei deserves the nod.
As for the midfield positions, the director criticizes the categorization done by globo.com, especially regarding Gerson. While Gerson's performance throughout the year warrants recognition, he is not categorized accurately as a defensive midfielder. Nonetheless, he is selected for his overall contributions.
The midfield selections also included discussions around Marlon Freitas, who, despite being misclassified, is acknowledged for his strong performances throughout the championship. The director ultimately chooses Garro for his crucial influence in carrying the Corinthians during tough matches, opting for a second midfielder to be determined among Alan Patrick, Mateus Pereira, and others.
In the final attacking selections, the players’ classifications became complicated with overlapping roles. The director was firm on including both Stevan and Luiz Henrique, citing their impact on the pitch, while also choosing a third forward from the list, ultimately selecting h Alberto for his impressive goal-scoring record.
Additionally, the speaker's comments about the coach selection led to a clear preference for Artur Jorge of Botafogo, praising his tactical acumen and calm demeanor. His unique approach contrasts sharply with the sometimes stereotypical image of Portuguese coaches, making him a standout in the current football landscape.
In summary, the compilation of the best players reflects a thorough and thoughtful evaluation process that separates performances in various competitions. The selections aim to highlight the talents that shone in the Campeonato Brasileiro, and the director invites feedback on these choices, urging fans to engage in the conversation around the players and their performances.
This exercise not only serves as a recognition of the players' efforts but also as an encouragement for discussions about the future of Brazilian football as teams and players continue to evolve.
