The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, left Spain and came to São Paulo on Tuesday (15), exclusively to defend the creation of the Liga do Brasil. The visit indicates the international interest in the former football country. He didn’t come to bring little mirrors and exchange them with our leaders. Came to do business.
The indications that the approval of the SAF, in Congress, and the possibility of changing the federal government, attract European eyes was already discussed here a month ago. Tebas wants to be a partner of the future League of Brazil, because it perceives the potential of this market: “It could be the fifth biggest championship in the planet”, he says.
In other words, if it is born, it will be in fifth place from the splendid birthplace. Then work can drive the climb.
On Tuesday, XP Investimentos and Alvarez & Marsal presented a proposal for structuring the new league.
They treat it as the best chance in the bidding, but it’s up to the clubs to define that. There is competition from Codajas Sports Kapital and LiveMode.
The 40 clubs in Series A and B will close with whoever they want. The movement of Thebes, leaving Madrid for the meeting in São Paulo, indicates that it is now or never.
While the CBF discusses the pettiness of power, increases allowances for federation presidents and gets distracted by politics, instead of taking care of winning the World Cup, football worries about competition around the world. The Premier League understands that young people are interested in the NBA, NFL and eSports.
The Brasileirão competes with all this and, also, with the games of the English, Spanish, German, Italian and French championships. Even without leaving the caves, Brazil maintains the interest of its public.
In the last state weekend, Flamengo took 61,000 spectators to Maracanã against Bangu, Corinthians played for 39,000 spectators against Ponte Preta and the classic Palmeiras x Santos had 38,000 spectators at Allianz Parque.
The president of LaLiga comes after that potential.
He exposed the project and gave the way: “Troubled and satisfied.” With this sentence, he showed that no decision will satisfy all desires and that each club must behave like a branch of a large tree.
In “Panis et Circenses”, the Mutantes sang that the leaves know how to look for the sun. The crowns open, so that they all receive light and carry out photosynthesis. A healthy tree makes up a forest. A rotten fruit compromises the basket.
All teams in the league need to be strong, sportingly and economically.
Brazil could have created its league in 1987, five years before the Premier League in England, if there weren’t so many particular interests. The English fought for decades and the big five had the wisdom to break through the delay in 1991. At the time, Everton was part of the select group of giants. Today, he fights against descent.
England have the fairest split of the money, one-third for performance, one-third for performance, one-third equal. Before the Premier League, the English sold players for the French League. Then they built the best national championship on the planet and attracted investors – including rogues.
Tebas corrected, in part, the distortion of the Spanish Championship being won only by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Atlético have won two of the last eight trophies.
It doesn’t have to be with Thebes. Brazilians need a business vision. It’s now or never. Or Brazilian football will have the same relationship with Europe as national basketball with the NBA.
