Cruzeiro Esporte Clube is analyzing the performance of its strikers in 2026, a year that has brought ups and downs for the team. The number 19, Kaio Jorge, has stood out as an important piece in Artur Jorge's squad, despite being sidelined for over a month. In the first half of the year, Neyser and Bruno Rodrigues were the players who had the most opportunities, with Bruno participating in 22 matches, although only three as a starter. Neyser, on the other hand, was frequently chosen as Kaio Jorge's substitute, participating in 20 games, eight of which were as a starter. The least used was Chico da Costa, who made only 14 appearances. Kaio Jorge leads the team with 12 goals and two assists, showing an average of 2.4 shots per game. However, the team faced difficulties, winning only four of the 11 games without him. Chico da Costa's situation is concerning as he has not scored in 14 matches and may leave the club in this transfer window. The analysis of Cruzeiro Esporte Clube's strikers' numbers reveals the need for adjustments to improve the attack's performance.
