O Fluminense tem mais motivos para ficar orgulhoso do que lamentar uma vitória que seria totalmente merecida. Com uma postura irretocável diante de um adversário europeu de respeito, o tricolor foi dominante na partida, mas não conseguiu converter as chances de perigo e ficou no empate sem gols com o Borussia Dortmund-ALE, nesta terça-feira, pelo Grupo F da Copa do Mundo de Clubes.
Apesar do favoritismo alemão, o Fluminense não sentiu o nervosismo da estreia e ficou mais perto de balançar as redes no primeiro tempo. Desde o início da partida, o tricolor teve sucesso ao explorar as investidas de Arias pelo lado direito. O colombiano encontrou espaços para ir à linha de fundo ou infiltrar na área, mas só faltou caprichar no terço final do campo para abrir o placar.
A escolha do técnico Renato Gaúcho em povoar o meio-campo com três volantes (Hércules, Martinelli e Nonato) se mostrou certeira em meio ao domínio tricolor. A equipe colocou bastante intensidade nos duelos e recuperava a bola com facilidade para sair em velocidade na transição ofensiva. Prova dessa superioridade é que o Fluminense teve cinco finalizações a mais que o adversário (8 a 3). No entanto, o goleiro Kobel fez apenas duas defesas na primeira etapa.
Do outro lado, o Borussia tentou surpreender com lançamentos longos nas costas da defesa adversária, porém, o zagueiro Thiago Silva ganhou a maioria dos confrontos pelo alto, o que já levava o time a ter novamente o controle do jogo. Depois de “assistir” ao tricolor jogar, a expectativa era de que o time alemão entrasse com mais agressividade no segundo tempo. Mas até isso a equipe do croata Niko Kovac deixou a desejar.
Melhor jogador em campo, Arias pegou de surpresa a defesa alemã com um lançamento na medida para Everaldo, que saiu sozinho para fazer o gol, mas perdeu velocidade após ajeitar de forma equivocada ao pé trocado (esquerdo) e tocar para Canobbio chutar fraco rasteiro.
Antes de sair para dar lugar a Cano, que voltou a jogar depois de sofrer lesão no joelho esquerdo, em 29 de abril, o camisa 9 chutou com perigo para a ação de Kobel, que fez uma defesa milagrosa no rebote de Nonato, mas o volante já estava impedido no lance. Com uma atuação dominante, o tricolor terminou o jogo com o dobro de finalizações (14 a 7).
O próximo compromisso do Fluminense é contra o Ulsan HD-COR, neste sábado, às 19h (de Brasília), no MetLife Stadium, em Nova Jersey-EUA. Já o Borussia enfrenta o Mamelodi Sundows-AFS, no mesmo dia, às 13h, no TQL Stadium, em Cincinnati.
