Virada do Fluminense sobre Ulsan marca jogo do Mundial em que campo e placar raramente dialogaram

Há jogos que têm o desfecho esperado, mas construído pelos caminhos mais improváveis. A virada do Fluminense sobre o Ulsan foi um jogo em que campo e placar raramente dialogaram. O roteiro do jogo era um, a marcha dos gols era outra. Havia um consenso de que o tricolor só perderia para um time como o Ulsan se jogasse muito mal. Pois fez um bom primeiro tempo e foi para o intervalo perdendo, após ver dois erros individuais serem punidos com gols. Voltou para o segundo tempo com uma alteração que não funcionou. Perdeu forma, ordem, ficou menos criativo e muito exposto aos contragolpes. Nenhum deles terminou em novo gol do Ulsan, mas foi neste segundo tempo mais entregue às individualidades e ao ímpeto do que à organização, que o Fluminense achou a virada. De todo modo, quando passou à […]
