Neste domingo (6), torcedores do Cruzeiro exaltaram o meia Matheus Pereira durante a partida contra o Banfield, da Argentinoa. Isso porque o jogador foi muito bem no primeiro tempo do duelo pelo torneio amistoso Vitória Cup, com belos passes e o primeiro gol da Raposa.
Matheus Pereira marcou aos 38′ de jogo e colocou o Cruzeiro na frente. Assim, a Raposa foi para o intervalo vencendo o Banfield por 1 a 0. Vale lembrar que a equipe de Leonardo Jardim perdeu a estreia da Vitória Cup para o Defensa y Justícia por esse mesmo placar.
Torcedores do Cruzeiro exaltam Matheus Pereira
O Cruzeiro ganhou muitos elogios da torcida nas redes sociais durante esse primeiro tempo, principalmente pela atuação dominante sobre o Banfield. Aos 38 minutos, Matheus Pereira abriu o placar, confirmando os números do duelo até o momento e fazendo 1 a 0.
Assim, muitos torcedores do Cruzeiro foram às redes sociais exaltar a atuação do meia Matheus Pereira, que já tinha criado boas chances de gol durante o primeiro tempo. “No meu conceito de craque, Matheus Pereira é mais craque que o Cristiano Ronaldo”, disse um cruzeirense.
Outro cruzeirense questionou sobre as críticas que muitos outros torcedores fizeram ao meia nos últimos meses. Sobretudo na época em que ele afirmou querer voltar para a Europa. “Como alguém vê o Matheus Pereira jogando e fala que ele é comum? Tem muita gente que quer ser diferente a qualquer custo com essas opiniões ignorantes”, opinou.
Por fim, outro torcedor do Cruzeiro elogiou a inteligência de Matheus Pereira. “Fico abismado com a inteligência do Matheus Pereira para jogar futebol. Jogador de alto nível”, afirmou. Provavelmente, esse comentário está ligado aos passes em profundidade que deixou os atacantes do time na cara do gol durante o primeiro tempo. Muitos outros cruzeirenses falaram sobre isso também.
Sugestão tática
O gol de Matheus Pereira aconteceu em um lance que ele estava bem ao lado do gol, enfiado dentro da área. Assim, outros torcedores fizeram uma sugestão tática para o meia melhorar seus números no Cruzeiro: pisar mais na grande área.

Why Mexico Wasn’t Called For A Handball In the Gold Cup Final vs. USA
<!--> Did a missed handball call cost the United States the Concacaf Gold Cup title against Mexico?

The U.S. emphatically called for a handball, but after consulting with Video Assistant Referee (VAR), match official Mario Alberto Escobar Toca ruled that it was an incidental handball and therefore not a penalty in favor of the United States.
