They say jokes don’t get old; It’s people who get old.
Then retell it to rare young readers.
It is said that God began to make the world through Europe and warned: “I will also make a continent called America. In the south, Brazil, with 8,500 kilometers of coastline, without volcanoes, earthquakes, etc., and I will place the best football players there.” An Italian immediately interrupted him: “Ma perché, Dio?” And he continued: “Wonderful coastline, without natural accidents and with the best players?!!!”. To which He replied: “Don’t worry, you will see the leaders. They will be the worst in the world.”
There was no other: Ricardo Teixeira, José Maria Marin, Marco Polo Del Nero, all banned from football, the three banned from leaving Brazil, and Rogério Caboclo, removed due to harassment by the CBF, and succeeded by the catastrophic Ednaldo Rodrigues.
First black president of the CBF and a disaster equal to the white quartet.
Why, then, treat 2024 as a great year in the column title?
Because 365 days is too long for so much incompetence.
Perhaps, if the year lasted 30 days, even more so if it was only January, the management of Casa Bandida do Futebol would do better.
It is true that it was in January of this year that Rodrigues exchanged Fernando Diniz’s failure for Dorival Júnior’s, since Carlo Ancelotti’s lie was just that, a lie.
In addition to making the Brazilian team feel ashamed in the Qualifiers, the schedule continued to be stupid and devastating, enough to make Botafogo feel like it was against Pachuca.
If that wasn’t enough, men’s football was absent from the Paris Olympic Games.
Rodrigues was also known for creating an unbreathable atmosphere in the building that once bore the name of Marin, in Barra da Tijuca.
The employees are suspicious of the shadow, the top hat even fights with directors brought by him to positions of trust, and no one gets their ass off the wall.
Successful initiatives like the Copa do Nordeste seem set to die.
The solution for the state championships bypasses the concerns of those who simply seek to secure themselves in power with allowances for the presidents of the federations.
The top hat’s greatest cleverness lies in ensuring good relations with the government and the STF, which he achieves through alliances with the PC do B and by handing over the CBF Academy to family members of powerful judges.
With football poisoned by bets, Ms. CBF thinks of associating with one of them, one of the biggest, with which the manipulation of results has the door open to settle on the pitch, as, after all, it supports the Brazilian Championship and the bets, in addition to air a very boring campaign on television.
Ednaldo Rodrigues, contrary to what God said in the anecdote, is the very earthquake that devastates our football, a true volcano of bad ideas and short-legged lies, another fruit of the rotten superstructure that, since the departure of Giulite Coutinho from CBF, in 1986, unhappy for Breton sport.
How will it end, who will succeed it?
Anyone who says they know, you know first, will be misinformed.
And, when Ronaldo Fenômeno dreams of presiding over the CBF, with the support of Ricardo Teixeira and Aécio Neves, the mere look at his Real Valladolid, on the verge of falling again, causes shudders.
