-Absolute holder of the Cruise, Rafael Sobis, 36, has faced charges for his recent performances. Unlike 2020, when it was essential to avoid the relegation of the Serie C club in the Brazilian Championship, this season the striker has not been able to swing the net or even assist with decisive passes.-
After the 0-0 draw with Brazil, this Saturday, in Pelotas, Mozart was asked about the ownership of shirt 10. The coach highlighted the importance of Sobis for Cruzeiro, but indicated that he could use it in another way on the field – alongside a 9 shirt and not as the main reference in the sector.

“Sobis is an important player for us, as everyone is. He is a reference in attack. Today, we couldn’t produce so much to generate a clear goal situation for him. I believe he can act as a (shirt) 9 or together with a shirt 9. I think it’s even easier for him to act together with a 9”, he said.-
“But there is no absolute titleholder in our team. I’m going for productivity and physical matters. On Tuesday, analyzing these next two days, we will field those who have the best physical conditions”, added the coach of the cruise.
Mozart’s statement comes just at the moment when Marcelo Moreno it becomes available again. The striker, who has already received much praise from the coach, returned to Toca da Raposa II last week after defending the Bolivian national team in the Copa America and World Cup qualifiers.
Cruzeiro’s next game will be this Tuesday, at 7pm, against Coritiba, for the 10th round of the Series B of the Brazilian Championship. Moreno and Wellington Nem, according to Mozart, can be summoned for the match in Mineiro.– .
