Bola Rolando: Operário embala, entra no G6 e acende o sonho da Série A!

What a victory, Alvinegro fans! The Operário Ferroviário achieved an extraordinary result in front of Criciúma, away from home, and took another important step in the walk in search of access to the Série A of the 2027 Brazilian Championship.

The 2-0 victory at the Heriberto Hülse stadium in Criciúma does not represent just three points on the table. It is a demonstration of strength, maturity and, above all, that the Phantom reaches the final straight of the Serie B living one of his best moments in the competition.

And the fans have reason to believe!

Worker arrives at G6 and gets to the first places

With 47 points won in 29 rounds, the Operário Ferroviário occupies the fifth position in the classification presented by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), with a 54% of the points played.

The difference for Vila Nova and Fortaleza, which appear with 51 points, is only four points. Novorizontino, third, scored 50 points.

The Criciúma, defeated by the Phantom, fell to sixth place.

These are numbers that show how the dispute is balanced and how the victory in Santa Catarina put the Worker again in an important position in the race for access.

But there is an even more interesting fact in this story.

The Worker has not lost for six games and has won 11 of the last 15 points. This represents a 73.3% profit in the five most recent games.

It is precisely in this cut that we find the main reason for the enthusiasm of the alvinegro fan.

Soccer is the moment. And the moment of the Worker is extraordinary!

We don’t know if the team will be able to keep that pace until the end of the competition. However, recent performance allows you to look at the remaining nine games with confidence.

Victory in Criciúma shows the strength of the alvinegro cast

Another aspect that deserves to be highlighted is the responsiveness of the group commanded by the technician Luizinho Lopes.

The Worker is not exclusively dependent on his 11 holders. The victory over Criciúma has shown that the Ghost has players on the reserve bench capable of entering during matches and contributing decisively.

That's exactly what happened to Maxwell.

The striker entered the course of the confrontation and scored the second goal, consolidating a victory that had already been built by the alvinegro team.

Miranda, Zuluaga, Índio and Aylon also participated in the match and made their contributions.

This is a fundamental aspect for those who wish to dispute access to the Série A.

In the final straight of a competition as long and balanced as the Serie B, suspensions, injuries and physical wear can make a difference. Therefore, having a competitive cast, with alternatives for different game situations, is an important advantage.

The next challenge will be a proof of that ability.

Without the starting back pair, formed by Enu and Josef, the Worker will need to find defensive solutions to face Ceará.

The good news is that the cast has alternatives like Klaus and Miranda, who can take on responsibilities at a decisive moment of the season.

Ceará is the next challenge of the Ghost

The Operário Ferroviário returns to the field next Saturday, September 26, at 4.30 pm, in front of Ceará, at estádio Germano Krüger, at Ponta Grossa.

It will be an important match to maintain the sequence of good results and continue in the dispute for the first positions.

Ceará arrives motivated after winning a team that occupied the leadership of the competition. It is an opponent who invested in the formation of the cast and presented evolution throughout the championship.

However, the Worker will have in his favor the home factor, the support of the fans and the confidence acquired with the sequence of six games without defeats.

It is an important opportunity to win three more points and to stay close to the teams that are ahead of you.

Support from the supporters can make a difference. The Germano Krüger needs to be again an environment of encouragement and confidence for the alvinegro team.

Nine games separate the Worker from the end of Serie B

Looking at the table, the Ghost will still have nine appointments ahead of him.

Among the confrontations that will require special attention are the matches against Juventude, Novorizontino and Sport.

The Youth will be the opponent of the 31st round, in a confrontation scheduled for October 2, at 8:45 p.m., at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.

In the 36th round, the Worker will have in front the Novorizontino, outside of home. In the 37th round, he will receive the Sport, in Ponta Grossa.

They are confrontations that can have an important influence on the definition of the first positions.

But the calendar also reserves opportunities that need to be seized.

In addition to Ceará, the Worker will have commitments against Botafogo-SP, Goiás, América-MG, Athletic and Ponte Preta.

The fact of playing a good part of these matches at home, in front of their supporters, can contribute to the alvinegra campaign.

This does not mean that they will be easy games.

At this stage of the Serie B, each team enters the field with its own goals. Some fight for access, others seek to get away from the relegation zone and all need to earn points.

The Worker will have to face every commitment with the same concentration demonstrated before the Criciúma.

The dream of Série A is alive!

The great news for the fan is that the Operário Ferroviário reaches the final straight of the B Series in a situation that allows to feed the dream of access.

The team presents evolution, has an important sequence of invincibility, demonstrates collective strength and counts on players who are corresponding when they are called by the coach.

The victory in Criciúma strengthened the confidence of a team that had already presented good results.

Of course, no one can guarantee what will happen in the next nine rounds.

Football is unpredictable and Serie B usually reserves surprises until the last minute.

But the Worker has already shown that he is able to face important opponents, overcome difficulties and achieve results away from home.

Now the challenge will be to maintain the level of performance, take advantage of the commitments in Germano Krüger and turn the good moment into points in the classification.

The Phantom is in dispute, the fan has reason to believe and the dream of Série A is more alive than ever!

Come on, Worker!
