As unavoidable whenever there is something new, the SAF has been causing a stir.
Cruzeiro and Botafogo’s entry into the new management mode has repercussions for good and for bad.
In the case of Minas Gerais, due to the episode of the dismissal of the idol Fábio, more harm than good; and, in Rio de Janeiro, on the contrary: the American investor is being treated as if he were the resurrection of Mané Garrincha.
Not so much to the sea of Rio de Janeiro, not so much to the land of Minas Gerais.
The American John Textor will be well evaluated by the Botafogo fan if he repeats the feat of the bookie Emil Pinheiro, who, in 1989, removed Glorioso from the 21-year-old untitled queue.
The ends have always justified the means in football, whether to launder money from Parmalat/Palmeiras or the Russian mafia from MSI/Corinthians.
The romantics of grassroots football, or those with an eternal hatred of modern football, are not satisfied with the assumption of ownership of the object of their passions, which is understandable. As there are still people coming from Woodstock on foot or who are not used to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Even if you look at the example of Chelsea, to stay in one case, or Manchester City, to stay in two, or Bayern Munich, to name a third, different from both the British and, it is true, more palatable to the Brazilian taste , although equal to the purest capitalist management model.
Cruzeiro would not come out of the crisis in the interests of its former goalkeeper. More than God, money demands it.
In this globalized and polarized world, finding the virtue, which they say is in the middle, is getting more and more complicated.
The intervention of the United States in the coups around the world is denied with the same lack of ceremony that the lack of freedom in Cuba is denied. That is why Leonardo Padura is an example of wisdom, courage and patriotism, not to mention the excellence of his work.
It may not seem like it, but SAF is all about it.
The associative model of our clubs is not new, and that is why Brazilian football has fallen to the second division of the world.
Even the once mighty Barcelona, the one where the ball didn’t go in by chance, has gone from being “more than a club” to being another club in trouble.
There are plenty of reasons to be suspicious of Ronaldo Fenômeno’s entrepreneurial skills, and little is known of what Textor will be capable of.
Brazilian football has already chased away numerous partners such as Bank of America, Excel, Opportunity, Hicks Muse, ISL, Octagon, etc.
Clubs such as Corinthians, the one with the greatest economic potential in Brazil, have their youth categories in the hands of known offenders, and other powers, such as Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro, found salvation, with different motivations and interests, in millionaire patronage.
In the swamp of world football, where FIFA, Conmebol and CBF are what they are, it is difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel, although the need to find new paths is clear.
Brazil continues to be that land where everything is planted if you plant it, just see the Endrick boy sprouting so amazingly that it even causes fear.
How wonderful it would be if we could look at him as someone we will live with for two decades on our lawns, not as another opportunity to make money from his sale to a European club-company.
Anyway, like Ferreira Gullar’s craze, the SAF did not come to humiliate anyone.
