Opinion – PVC: Brazil needs to form its own Guardiola

Guardiola will not be Tite’s successor in the Brazilian national team. This is a conviction that the CBF already has. Not just because the Catalan renewed his Manchester City contract in November, nor because of his salary.

Before signing the new agreement, Pep received the equivalent of R$ 13 million per month. Trainers in South America receive this per year. It means that Pep could be promised the 13th salary. Only the 13th.

The hammer will only be beaten by the president of the confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, in January, possibly after the choice of the new director of selections.

Apart from not being the new coach, Guardiola needs to come to Brazil. If he has already given talks in Buenos Aires more than once, why not bring him to Rio de Janeiro to talk about football, as the CBF has already done with Fabio Capello and Marcelo Bielsa?

Regarding the succession of Tite, there is resistance to names like Jorge Jesus. The comments are about the criticism that CBF leaders hear, within Flamengo, of the centralized way of working and the way in which it broke the agreement in Gávea.

Jesus would be a more populist than popular decision, because it would not structure the medium-term work. Portugal does not think of Jorge Jesus for the eventual succession of Fernando Santos for this reason. They want a model more in the style of Luís Castro, with solid construction work.

Before the Cup, at CBF, there was also talk about the difficulty in the relationship with Abel Ferreira. The smell is that the idea of ​​​​a foreign coach will not be advanced. It’s too early to be sure about this, but the clues lead to this reasoning.

Someone who speaks another language other than Portuguese or Spanish is not considered. Regardless of hiring a foreigner or a Brazilian, it is necessary to improve the level of those who live here. More courses, more lectures, more universities, more capacity to do what Portugal has achieved, by uniting theory with practice.

Remember that, until 2006, Portuguese champion teams had, 68% of the time, foreign coaches. In the last 16 seasons, only locals have won the title. They also crossed borders and won 73 trophies in 30 countries.

If Portugal did not have good coaches and today it does, Brazil, which had some of the most sought after to develop football in Asia, can train new professionals capable of shining in the national team and in Europe.

There is talk about the non-recognition of CBF courses at Uefa. But Ricardo Gomes managed to manage Bordeaux and Monaco, in the French Championship, for his notorious knowledge.

Language is used as a justification for not having Brazilians in European clubs. But Oswaldo de Oliveira was three times Japanese champion, with Kashima Antlers. If the language is difficult in England and Germany, how can it not be in Japan?

Brazilian coaches were important to teach players in the Middle East. The game has changed, it’s more tactical and has less space. The requirement is to study and rehearse all options for attacking and defending.

Guardiola will not come. This does not prevent Brazil from being able to leave the dream and start creating conditions to have a generation of modern technicians. Forming our own Pep Guardiola in a few years, as one day we formed Zagallo and Telê.
