El Cruzeiro descendió a la Série B brasileña por primera vez en la historia el 8 de diciembre de 2019, después de perder ante el Palmeiras con un marcador de 2-0 en casa. ^[3]

Historia

La historia de Cruzeiro se remonta a la comunidad italiana que vive en Belo Horizonte, una ciudad donde ya vivían algunos inmigrantes italianos ^[4] y su deseo de montar un club de fútbol. Al igual que los italianos de São Paulo (que fundaron Palestra Itália , ahora conocida como Palmeiras ), la gente de Belo Horizonte quería que las colonias italianas en Minas Gerais también tuvieran su propio club.

En la fábrica de artículos deportivos y calzado Augustine Ranieri, ubicada en la calle Caetés, se decidió que la fundación del club debía abordar las tres grandes capitales: Atlético Mineiro, América-MG y Yale. Nace en ese momento, la Società Sportiva Palestra Italia , constituida el 2 de enero de 1921. ^[5]

A la reunión asistieron 95 fundadores que presentaron el escudo y el uniforme que hacía referencia a los colores italianos, y cuya descripción SSPI quedaría grabada en la carcasa central. Otra decisión fue que solo los miembros de la colonia italiana podrían usar la camiseta. Aurelio Noce fue elegido primer presidente. ^[5]

La Palestra Italia surgió como representante de la colonia italiana. Y se caracteriza por ser un equipo de ascendencia italiana, Palestra también se destacó por tener elementos de la clase trabajadora de Belo Horizonte, a diferencia del Atlético y América, que tenían su escuadra conformada por estudiantes universitarios provenientes de familias influyentes y adineradas de la ciudad. ^[5]

La idea de la creación del club dio un gran paso cuando Yale , un equipo deportivo de la ciudad, atravesó una crisis administrativa. Cuando algunos jugadores abandonaron Yale por una disputa (Yale, que a su vez tenía conexiones con la comunidad italiana), algunos pasaron a fundar la Sociedade Esportiva Palestra Itália de Belo Horizonte , toda italiana . ^{[6] [7]} Hasta 1925, el club solo permitía la participación de hombres italianos, a pesar de que otros equipos de la nación aceptaban personas de todos los colores de piel y etnias. ^[8]

Palestra debutó en el Estadio Prado Mineiro con una victoria por 2-0 en un amistoso el 3 de abril de 1921, contra una combinación de Nova Lima . El equipo Nova Lima unió a jugadores de dos equipos de la ciudad: Villa Nova y Palmeiras, otro equipo de Nova Lima. ^[9] Sin embargo, el primer partido oficial de Palestra fue en una victoria por 3-0 sobre el futuro archirrival Clube Atlético Mineiro . ^{[10] [11]} En enero de 1942, Brasil entró en la Segunda Guerra Mundial ^[12]y un decreto del gobierno federal prohibió el uso de términos de naciones enemigas en entidades, instituciones, establecimientos, etc. Con esto, se eliminó el nombre italiano y el club ya no pudo llamarse Palestra Italia. El nombre fue cambiado a Sociedade Esportiva Palestra Mineiro.

Alrededor de seis meses después, el presidente Ennes Cyro Poni convocó una asamblea general para el 7 de octubre y sugirió el nombre Ypiranga. Entre el 3 y el 7 de octubre, los medios locales publicaron el nuevo nombre pensando que sería aprobado. En la asamblea, los consejeros y asociados mantuvieron un sistema profesional y aprobaron el cambio de nombre y colores del club. Se sugirieron Yale e Ypiranga, pero Cruzeiro Esporte Clube fue elegido para honrar el símbolo más grande de Brasil, la constelación de Crux . La idea fue de Oswaldo Pinto Coelho. Sin embargo, el club siguió jugando como "Palestra Mineiro" hasta 1943, cuando la Federación local aprobó los nuevos estatutos. ^[13]Los colores aprobados fueron el azul y el blanco, elegidos como un compromiso para apaciguar a las facciones italianas dentro de la dirección del club, ya que era tanto representativo de la bandera brasileña como de la selección italiana de fútbol (el azul es el color de la Casa de Saboya, que gobernaba Italia de 1861 a 1946). ^[14]

Con la inauguración del Mineirão en 1965, Cruzeiro entró en uno de los períodos más exitosos de su historia, en el que el club ganó cinco títulos de Campeonato Mineiro seguidos y ganó su primer título nacional, la Taça Brasil de 1966 (la más alto honor en el fútbol brasileño en ese momento) venciendo al Santos de Pelé en la final. El Cruzeiro ganó el partido de ida por 6-2 en el Mineirão y el de vuelta por 3-2 en São Paulo . ^{[15] [16]} En el Campeonato Brasileiro Série A Cruzeiro de 1974 fue subcampeón por primera vez, después de perder ante el Vasco.en la final. Más tarde, en 1975, Cruzeiro volvió a ser subcampeón del Campeonato Brasileiro, esta vez perdiendo ante Internacional . En 1976, Cruzeiro ganó su primera Copa Libertadores de América , sobre River Plate de Argentina . Cruzeiro pasó a ser subcampeón de la misma competición en 1977, siendo derrotado en la final por Boca Juniors , también de Argentina. Después de ganar la Copa Libertadores de 1976, participaron en la Copa Intercontinental de 1976 , ahora rebautizada como Campeonato Mundial de Clubes de la FIFA , por primera vez y empataron 0-0 al Bayern de Múnich en el Mineirão, pero perdieron 2-0 ante el Bayern en el Olympiastadion .^{[15] [16]}

Después de probar el éxito en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, Cruzeiro entró en un período oscuro en la década de 1980. Con la excepción de un par de victorias en el Campeonato Mineiro, el club no ganó otros campeonatos en la década de 1980 y tuvo sus peores actuaciones en el Campeonato Brasileiro, 33 en 1984 y 29 en 1985. ^[17] La década de 1980 fue la única década que hizo Cruzeiro. no ha participado ni una vez en la Copa Libertadores desde la creación del torneo en 1960. ^[18] El club fue invitado a Europa en 1988 por el Celtic escocés para jugar un amistoso como parte de las celebraciones del centenario del club de Glasgow. ^[19]

En la década de 1990 comenzó una nueva era y se inició una secuencia de 15 años de al menos un título por año. Esto incluyó seis de los siete campeonatos internacionales del club y un Campeonato Brasileiro (2003). En diciembre de 2010, la CBF (el organismo rector del fútbol brasileño) también reconoció a Cruzeiro como campeón brasileño de 1966, por haber vencido al Santos de Pelé: 6-2 en Belo Horizonte y 2-3 en São Paulo. ^{[15] [16] [20]} La mayor hazaña del club en el siglo XXI ocurrió cuando ganó el Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Con 100 puntos obtenidos durante la temporada y poco más de 100 goles en 46 partidos, fue una de las campañas más exitosas de un club en un campeonato brasileño. En 2003, además de ganar el Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Cruzeiro también ganó la Copa do Brasil y el Campeonato Mineiro , para convertirse en el único equipo brasileño en ganar la triple corona. ^{[15] [16] [20] [21]}

De 2003 a 2012, el Cruzeiro solo ganó un torneo importante (cuatro veces): el Campeonato Mineiro (2004, 2006, 2008, 2009). Sin embargo, el club terminó entre los cinco primeros del Campeonato Brasileiro en 2007, 2008, 2009 y 2010, garantizando un lugar en la Copa Libertadores durante cuatro años consecutivos (2008, 2009, 2010 y 2011). En 2010, después de una gran campaña en el Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Cruzeiro tomó el segundo lugar y se clasificó para la Copa Libertadores de América de 2011. El mayor éxito de Cruzeiro en los últimos años fue llegar a la final de la Copa Libertadores de 2009 , sin embargo, perdió a Estudiantes de La Plata 2–1. ^[22] Después de una desastrosa temporada 2011, escapó del descenso solo en la última ronda después de un triunfante 6-1 ^[23]contra su archirrival Atlético, Gilvan Tavares se convirtió en presidente para el trienio 2012-2013-2014. 2012 fue ligeramente mejor que 2011, pero aún así Cruzeiro no ganó ningún título. En 2013, el Cruzeiro volvió a perder el Campeonato Mineiro , a pesar de mostrar un buen juego contra clubes más pequeños. La Copa do Brasil comenzó prometedora, pero Cruzeiro fue eliminado por el futuro campeón Flamengo en los cuartos de final. Después de la eliminación, Cruzeiro se fue all in al Campeonato Brasileiro y se coronó campeón por tercera vez, esta vez cuatro rondas antes de que terminara el campeonato, jugando un juego ofensivo e intenso que lideró a muchos, incluida la prensa ^[24] y los subcampeones, ^{[25 ]}atribuir el título muchas rondas antes de la confirmación matemática. La temporada 2014 de Cruzeiro fue aún más exitosa. Comenzó con Cruzeiro ganando el Campeonato Mineiro sin perder un solo partido en toda la competencia. En la Copa Libertadores de América, Cruzeiro fue eliminado, en cuartos de final, por el futuro campeón San Lorenzo de Almagro , siendo el último equipo brasileño que queda en la competencia. Esta derrota no impidió al Cruzeiro liderar el Campeonato Brasileiro durante casi toda la competencia, coronándose campeón por cuarta vez y convirtiéndose en el segundo equipo que no es de Río de Janeiro ni de Sao Paulo.para ganar el Campeonato Brasileiro dos veces seguidas. El Cruzeiro también llegó a la final de la Copa do Brasil , pero perdió ambos partidos ante su rival Atlético Mineiro .

Símbolos

Colores

Primera cresta del Cruzeiro, 1921

Cuando el Cruzeiro todavía se conocía como Palestra Italia, el color de la camiseta de local era el verde. La primera equipación de casa fue una camiseta verde oscuro improvisada, con pantalones cortos blancos y medias verdes. Cruzeiro usó este uniforme en su primer juego profesional el 3 de abril de 1921, en el Estadio Prado Mineiro, con una victoria por 2-0 sobre el combinado Villa Nova / Palmeiras, de Nova Lima. ^[26] En 1928, la camisa se convirtió en un tono verde más claro, con un diseño de cuello blanco y puños rojos. Los pantalones cortos siguieron siendo blancos, pero las medias verdes ahora tenían detalles en rojo y blanco, similar al de la bandera italiana . Este uniforme en particular se usó hasta 1940. El color verde claro de la camiseta más tarde le daría al equipo el sobrenombre de "periquito", en portugués para periquito. ^[26]En 1940 hubo un gran cambio de camiseta. La camiseta comenzó a presentar rayas horizontales, con el escudo del club en el centro. Esta fue la camiseta que se usó para ganar el Campeonato da Cidade de 1940, ahora conocido como Campeonto Mineiro, después de que el club no pudo ganar el torneo durante diez años. El club también empezó a llamarse "tricolor" en lugar de "periquito". ^[26]

En 1942 Cruzeiro jugó un juego bajo el nombre de Ypiranga, y para este juego se usó una camiseta azul con una raya horizontal central. ^[26] En 1943, Cruzeiro jugó su primer juego con su nombre actual. La camisa que se usó entonces fue una camisa completamente azul con un gran diseño de escote en V (escapulario) blanco. Los pantalones cortos y las medias eran de color blanco. En 1950, debido a la mala iluminación del estadio, Cruzeiro comenzó a usar una camiseta totalmente blanca durante los juegos nocturnos. La camiseta, que presentaba detalles azules y pantalones cortos azules y medias blancas, se usó durante nueve años. ^[26] En 1956, Cruzeiro usó, por un corto tiempo, una nueva camiseta que estaba formada por rayas horizontales blancas y azules. El uniforme no se usó en muchos juegos. ^[26] There was a change to the shirt in 1959; the shirt became all blue, a design that would influence later shirts. In the 1959 shirt, instead of using its normal crest Cruzeiro simply used the five stars, in the crest, loose on the shirt. The shirt made its debut in the Estádio dos Tecelões, in a friendly match against Renascença, on September 19.^[26]

In 1984 Cruzeiro had the first ever company logo on its shirt; it was the shirt manufacturer's logo, which was Topper.^[26] In the same year Cruzeiro had its first shirt sponsor, Medradao. Medradao was only used on the away shirts^[26]

Crest

The Southern Cross or Crux, is common on a number of other flags and insignia

The first Palestra Itália crest was a rhombus whose top half was red and bottom half was green (both colors of the Italian flag). In the center of the crest was a white circle with the letters P and I inside it.^[27] The following year, 1922, the club's crest maintained its rhombus shape, but was now completely white, with the letter P, S and I, inscribed within it in green.^[27] In 1923, the crest lost its rhombus shape and instead just had the green letters S, P and I.^[27] From 1928–1939 the crest was identical to the first crest in 1921. Just one year later the crest became a little different: the top half was green and the bottom half was red, similar to the crests from 1921 and 1929–1939, but instead of green letters in its center, it now had the letters S, P and I in yellow.^[27]

Symbol 1956

The crest introduced in 1940 would be the last for Palestra, because the club would soon become Cruzeiro.^[27] Cruzeiro's first crest was introduced in 1950 and was very simple: a blue circle, with a white border, inside of which were five white stars, positioned to look like the Southern Cross. This first crest was used for over nine years, until 1959.^[27] In 1959 the crest changed, now with a white border around the crest with the words "-CRUZEIRO ESPORTE CLUBE-BELO HORIZONTE" in blue. This version of the crest was used until 1996, making it the longest-used crest by Cruzeiro.^[27] In the same year, Cruzeiro removed BELO HORIZONTE from the crest; this format was used until 2005.^[27] In 2006 to honor its successful 2003 season, a crown was added on top of the crest, to symbolize the triple crown.^[27]

Cruzeiro has not always used its official crest on its shirt. In 1959, instead of using its crest, the club opted to simply put the five stars from the Southern Cross on its shirt.^[27] This was done until 2000, when the actual crest was again used.^[27] In 2002 and in part of 2003 the loose stars were used. Part way through 2003 a new shirt that contained the actual crest was introduced, but instead of just using the regular crest the shirt featured two Copa Libertadores trophies on top of the crest. In 2004 a similar design was used, but now featured a crown, symbolic of the Triple Crown on top of the two trophies.^[27] Since 2007 the club has used the "loose stars" design on home shirts.^[27] None of these designs actually became the official club crest.

Anthem

See also: Jadir Ambrósio

The club's anthem, Hino ao Campeão, was written by Jadir Ambrósio in 1966, in homage to the team of his heart. He never meant for it to become the official anthem, but when fans started hearing it they liked it enough to adapt it as the new anthem.

Mascot

Cartoonist Fernando Pieruccetti, more popularly known as "Mangabeira", created the club's mascot, a raposa (Portuguese for fox) in the 1940s, as he did for other football clubs from Minas Gerais state league.^[28] Mangabeira took inspiration from the club's ex-president, Mario Grosso. "He was a director who let no one trick him. He was sly, agile, intelligent and skillful like a fox."^[29][30] In the 2000s, Cruzeiro has made the Raposão (Big Fox) its biggest mascot, appearing at all home games and cheering with the crowd while wearing the club's colors. In 2010, Raposão won Rede Globo's Competição de Mascotes (Mascot Competition), held in their Sunday sports show Esporte Espetacular. The program united 20 mascots from the biggest Brazilian teams and had them competing in series of challenges. Raposão won all of the events and was crowned as Brazil's Best Mascot.

In 2012, Cruzeiro introduced a "junior mascot", named "Raposinho" (Little Fox), a smaller version of "Raposão".

Records and statistics

Most appearances

Roberto Perfumo –with 138 matches– is the non-Brazilian with the most appearances for the club ^[32]

The player with the most appearances for Cruzeiro is Fábio with a stunning record of 800 appearances, having been with the team since 2005, beating former midfielder Zé Carlos, with 619 appearances, between 1965 and 1977.^[32] In third place on that list is 1971's Bola de Ouro Winner, "The Prince" Dirceu Lopes, while the fourth place belongs to former Brazilian international and 1970 FIFA World Cup champion Wilson Piazza. The fifth overall player, and second goalkeeper with the most appearances for Cruzeiro is the notorious Raul Plassman, who played a total of 557 games with the team. The non-Brazilian with the most appearances for the club is the Argentine Roberto Perfumo who made 138 appearances for the club between 1971 and 1974.^[32]

Top goalscorers

Brazilian hall-of-famer and 1970 FIFA World Cup winner Tostão has scored the most goals for Cruzeiro, 249 between 1963 and 1972, having appeared on 378 matches for Cruzeiro (12th overall). He beats Dirceu Lopes by 25 goals on that list, which also has old-timer Niginho (207 goals) closing the top 3, being the only ones with over 200 goals for Cruzeiro. Ninão holds the record for goals scored in a single match: 10 in Cruzeiro's 14–0 win over Alves Nogueira during Campeonato da Cidade on June 17, 1928.^[33] Nelinho holds the record for most goals scored from penalties: 38; and the record for goals scored from fouls: 42. Walter Montillo's 39 goals make him the non-Brazilian with the most goals for Cruzeiro, a record that would belong to Bolivia national football team vice-captain and striker Marcelo Moreno with 48 goals or Spanish 1930's striker Fernando Carazo, with 44 goals, had they not become Brazilian nationals.^[33]

Grounds and facilities

Main article: Mineirão

Cruzeiro's first stadium was the Estádio do Prado Mineiro, which belonged to the Federação Mineira de Futebol (FMF).^[36] The club's first game at the stadium was 2–0 win over a Villa Nova/Palmeiras combine team from Nova Lima on 3 April 1921.^[36][37] Cruzeiro would use the stadium until 1923 when the club built its own stadium, Estádio do Barro Preto.^[37][38] On July 23, 1923 Cruzeiro debuted at the stadium in a 2–2 tie with Flamengo.^[37][38] In 1945 the stadium went through renovations and would become at that time the largest stadium in the state with a capacity of 15,000 and later on would become known as Estádio Juscelino Kubitscheck (or Estádio JK).^[37][38] Cruzeiro would use the stadium until 1965, when the Mineirão was opened. In 1983 the stadium was torn down and one of the club's social clubs (Sede Campestre) was built there.^[37][39]

Since 1965 Cruzeiro play their home games at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, often referred to as just Mineirão in Belo Horizonte, MG.^[40] Cruzeiro shares the stadium with rivals Atlético Mineiro.^[41] The stadium does not belong to Cruzeiro, rather it belongs to the state of Minas Gerais (through a land grant from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais) and is administrated by Minas Arena, a private company, on lease from the state since 2013. The stadium, which was built in 1963, had an original capacity of about 130,000,^[40][41] but over the years that capacity has been reduced, and currently it seats 64,800. Named after former Minas Gerais governor José de Magalhães Pinto, it took over 4,000 workers to build the stadium.^[41] The period after the stadium's inauguration is often called Era Mineirão ("Mineirão Era"), which saw Cruzeiro gain national and international prominence.^[42][43] Cruzeiro also holds the attendance record at the stadium, when 132,834 spectators watched Cruzeiro beat Villa Nova in the 1997 Campeonato Mineiro final.^[44]

Cruzeiro have had plans to build a new stadium, especially under president Alvimar de Oliveira Costa's tenure.^{[45][46][47][48]} However the state of Minas asked Cruzeiro to stay at the stadium,^[49] and after president Zezé Perrella came to the presidency in 2009, plans for a new stadium virtually disappeared.^[50]

The Mineirão was selected as a host stadium for the 2014 FIFA World Cup,^[51] with renovations beginning on June 25, 2010 and is projected to be completed by December 2012.^[52] After the stadiums closing, Cruzeiro began playing home games at the Arena do Jacaré and Ipatingão stadiums, both outside the city of Belo Horizonte.^[53] Independência stadium is also being renovated and Cruzeiro will start playing homes games there in 2011 until the Mineirão is ready in 2012.^[54]

The club has private ownership of other facilities though, including two training facilities (Toca da Raposa I, which serves the youth division and Toca da Raposa II for the senior squad),^[40][55][56] an administrative headquarters^[57] and two social club facilities.^[58][59] Cruzeiro has often been praised for having one of the leading infrastructure systems in Brazil.^[40]

Administration and finances

Cruzeiro's bylaw refers to the club being a non-profit organization, where the real owner are sócios (literally, "partners") or members (who pay an annual fee).^[60] This means that unlike some European clubs and North American sport franchises, the club cannot be sold (Article 1, § 4).^[61] Cruzeiro also acts as a social club, which sócios get access to. Currently there are six thousand paying sócios (twenty thousand including family members).^[62] Sócios are not to be confused with sócios do futebol ("football members") who pay an annual fee for privileges such as season tickets, but are not allowed to vote for club officials.^[63] Those who have been sócios for over a year, form the "general assembly" (Assembleia Geral) and may vote for club officials (Article 5).^[61] After two years of membership, sócios can nominate themselves for the "consul" (Conselho) (Article 16).^[61] Only members who have been part of the consul for at least ten years may run for the presidency and vice-presidency (Article 26, § 1).^[61] Wagner Pires de Sá is the current club president.^[64]

Cruzeiro was the fifth richest Brazilian club in 2009 in terms of revenue with about R$121.3 million.^[65] This is a 29% increase from a 2008 revenue of R$94.1 million^[66] and a 56% increase from a 2007 revenue of R$77.6 million.^[67] Much of Cruzeiro's revenue comes through the selling of players, between 2004 and 2008 the club sold R$181 million (€68.6 million) worth of player, ranking third in Brazil (although player sales for other teams were considered between 2003 and 2008).^[68] Cruzeiro also relies on sponsorship and currently has three shirt sponsors: Banco BMG (front and upper back), Ricardo Eletro (sleeves) and Questão de Estilo Jeans (lower back) and although the club does not release any official figures on sponsorship, the deals are speculated to be worth a total of about R$15 million annually.^[69][70] Kit supplier Reebok reported pays R$8 million annually.^[71] From ticket sales the club will make around R$27 million in 2010.^[72] In 2009 ticket sales generated R$18 million^[73]

Cruzeiro is one of the most financially stable Brazilian football clubs. As of 2009 Cruzeiro debts total R$97.7 million (€43.8).^[74] This puts the club 13th among the most in-debt club in Brazil. Among Brazil's most prominent clubs only São Paulo has less debt. The club's current debt is also a decrease from a 2008 debt of R$131.6 million (€50.8).^[75] In 2009 the club was ranked as the seventh most valuable club in Brazil, being worth R$139 million (€55 million).^[76] In 2008, the annual salary for the club's players totaled €6.2 million, significantly less than its European counterparts.^[77]

Originally Palestra's support came from the Italian immigrant community. The working class identity remained when the club became known as Cruzeiro, and the supporters spread beyond the Italian community. The club's main rival is Atlético Mineiro, but other rivals include América, Vasco da Gama, São Paulo, Palmeiras (the other major team in Brazil with Italian origins), Corinthians, and Grêmio.^[78] A 2010 survey showed Cruzeiro's fan base had an average monthly family income of R$1,342.45.^[79] For comparison this is slightly lower than Atlético Mineiro (R$1,353.28). The highest was Internacional (R$1,657.69), and the lowest was Flamengo (R$1,149.09).

On July 14, 2008 law number 9,590/2008 sanctioned "Cruzeiro and Cruzeirense Day" in Belo Horizonte which will be celebrated every 2 January.^[80]
