Rogério Ceni knows he made a mistake in the squad against Grêmio. He and all the fans in São Paulo know that. The majority is not always right, or the entire Flamengo fans would not judge him incompetent and would think the same about Renato Gaúcho, just four months later.
Rogério is still the penultimate Brazilian champion.
But Flamengo’s resignation and the difficulty to get at São Paulo impose on Rogério Ceni the need to be successful at Morumbi. Four years into his career as a coach, he is in danger of going from promising to dismal.
It’s not like most. Players who worked in Europe recognize the São Paulo coach’s surprising ability in training. His daily exercises are challenging and propose what you will find in matches.
Good coach is like that. It was said of José Mourinho, when he arrived at Chelsea, that there was no training equal to the next one. The same with Guardiola.
Rogério also knows how to see the game with enormous wisdom most of the time.
He didn’t succeed against Grêmio, when he selected Gabriel Sara as the right wing. The most talented player in the squad needs to have the freedom to attack. He was also badly cast for having to mark the sector through which he attacks Ferreirinha, the best Grêmio striker.
Worse, Rogério said that Benítez lacks defensive participation and, three days later, he put together a puzzle to match the Argentine. He moved Sara to the right to make Benítez start. Helped the midfielder, hindered the team.
On the other hand, Rogério is one more victim of a country that does not have great technicians, because there is no time for them to be good. Fans from north to south called for the falls of Guto Ferreira, Tiago Nunes, Sylvinho, Roger Machado, Renato Gaúcho and Abel Ferreira.
Even from Cuca. In April, he was criticized for a game with 55 crosses, an excessive number. It was just his seventh commitment as coach of Atlético-MG, against Deportivo La Guaira. In December, he is justly praised by the Brazilian title.
Rogério lives in Brazil with intransigence and the obligation to get it right in order to assert himself. If he won at Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, he would have two finals for a spot at Libertadores. If they also beat Juventude this Monday (6), they would go to a direct confrontation against América-MG to finish in eighth place.
Instead, he fights to finish above 13th place and 50 points, so as not to make his worst campaign in the running points.
What is required of Rogério Ceni is the ability to lead the departments that make up a football club. Be a leader, not a boss. Four years ago, Rogério needed to stop being a player and become a coach. His extraordinary work at Fortaleza contrasts with the crisis in the relationship with Cruzeiro players and with the performance analysis department at Flamengo.
São Paulo is your home. Know what’s good and what’s missing. You just need to have the right measure between being one of the leaders of the process and not becoming the owner of the training center.
The first step is to beat Juventude and avoid the worst São Paulo campaign in terms of running. Then, assemble a great team for 2022. São Paulo can and needs to have more than it has been doing.
Or environment
Abel Ferreira says that the best director he has worked with is Anderson Barros. It’s about understanding the importance of the environment. Better to charge a manager for how happy people work than for the number of hires. Palmeiras’ secret of the last two years.
