The Cruzeiroone of the most traditional clubs in Brazil and controlled by former soccer player Ronando Nazario, celebrated this Saturday the conquest of the title of the second division of the Brazilian Championship six days early.
The Belo Horizonte club, two-time champions of the Copa Libertadores and three-times of the second division Brazilian Championship, the title is mathematically guaranteed thanks to the defeats suffered on Friday night by Gremio and Bahía, the only thing that can dislodge him.
The title with six days hope, a record in the second division, commemorated a week after the blue club will guarantee his return to Brazil’s first division after spending three years in the silver category.
“Champions with six days in advance. Another record for this wonderful cast,” said Ronaldo’s team in a message published this Saturday on their social networks.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) itself congratulated the club and its owner for the title, but clarified that they will only award the trophy on the final day, as is tradition.
“I congratulate Cruzeiro fans for an early win in Serie B. I also congratulate Ronaldo and his team, who have shown talent by restructuring one of the most traditional clubs in Brazil,” said CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues. , in a message published on their social networks.
With six games remaining until the end of the tournament, Cruzeiro has 71 points, the product of 21 wins, 8 draws and only 3 losses, and is the club with the highest number of goals scored, with fewest goals conceded and best. goal playing at home as a guest.
Gremio, another one of Brazil’s greats, is their escort in the classification in the second division, but at a distance of 18 points, is now invincible, because they can also reach 71 points but will not reach their 21 victories .
The club that has taken the second division title furthest so far is Corinthians, who did it in 2008 with five games to go.
The Belo Horizonte team could still become the club with the most points conquered in a Brazilian second division championship if they add another 15 and surpass the 85 integers with which Corinthians lifted the title in 2008.
Ronaldo, former player of the Brazilian team and also owner of the Spanish Valladolid, announced in December 2021 the purchase of Cruzeiro, the team with which he met in his youth, with the aim of correcting the accounts and returning it to its place to the elite.
