Opinion – Juca Kfouri: Rogério Ceni’s choice as the best coach of Paulista borders on the ridiculous

The history of football has already recorded awards that are so clueless that it’s time for top management to have learned. But not.

What happened in choosing the best of Paulistinha doesn’t even have the primacy in the demoralization of an award when choosing Rogério Ceni as the best coach of the championship – and he himself, out of embarrassment, made a point of not going to get the trophy that should be given to Abel Ferreira.

It’s the old story of the rush that burns the tongue.

The same situation happened in the 2002 World Cup, when the German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn ended up being chosen as the best player of the tournament, because he was chosen between the semifinals and the final.

In the decision, the Brazilian team won 2-0, he missed the first of Ronaldo’s goals Fenomeno to hit clothes in Rivaldo’s kick and the prize, which should be from whoever caused the rebound or, at least, from the author of two goals in Cup decision, remained with the goalkeeper.

It is true. Rivaldo was the best player of the Cup in Asia, also according to the opinion of the champion coach, called Felipão.

Now the same thing happened. After the tricolor victory in the first game by 3 to 1, the hurried vote gave the prize to whoever took Palmeiras 4 to 0 in the return match.

In times of a digital world, a minimum of organization would collect the nominations of 16 coaches and 16 captains as soon as the game was over and there would be more than time to notify the winners.

The scene of giving the award to a smaller top hat from São Paulo, because even the president of the club thought it was better to avoid discomfort, aroused the so-called shame of others.

It is said that the food was raw at the São Paulo Football Federation party.
