In 2025, I will continue going to the bank, paying small bills in cash, going to the newsstand where I buy newspapers and make small talk, chatting on the phone, a practice that is out of use like so many others. I will continue walking daily to strengthen my body and soul. I also want to love the people I love more.

I also intend to watch more games from the Brazilian and Italian championships. The Italian teams’ reputation for being tough, even though they are efficient, is a thing of the past. The main teams play modern, bold football, with a lot of compaction, pressure to quickly recover the ball and a lot of exchange of passes to reach the goal.

In the 1970 World Cup final, Italy played against Brazil with four defenders who made individual markings across the field, as well as a defender behind the four to cover. It’s a different strategy to the one used today when there is a line of five defenders. The remaining defender in 1970 was also not a libero, as they say. The liberos played behind the four defenders, but when the team recovered the ball, they advanced and became midfielders.

Before the 1970 World Cup final, Zagallo and the players agreed that I would act behind the four defenders and in front of the defender to prevent him from going into coverage. We also agreed that, when Jairzinho moved from the right wing to the center and was accompanied by the opposing full-back, full-back Carlos Alberto Torres would advance and occupy that space on the right. That’s how Carlos Alberto’s goal came and Gerson’s, who dribbled past the marker and finished free from outside the area, as the remaining defender, impeded by my presence, didn’t come out in coverage. It was an achievement of individual talent and strategy.

All coaches are pragmatic, as they want to win, regardless of the different game strategies. Coaches, players, the sports press, fans and all professionals involved with football should make an effort to combine the beauty of the game, the pleasure of seeing the spectacle, with efficiency.

The main teams in the world are those that, with few exceptions, have the best players. But, for them to shine, they need the important presence of coaches, in command, in planning and executing strategies.

At this time of arrivals and departures in Brazilian football, some teams have improved, and others have worsened with the hiring of players and coaches.

Will coach Cuca, hired by Atlético-MG, be a reinforcement or a problem? He, with his weirdness and emotional instability, often leaves clubs unexpectedly, even though he has done excellent work in his career. Furthermore, many fans will protest because of the very serious accusations of rape in the past.

Flamengo’s hiring of the experienced and austere Portuguese technical director José Boto was hailed by the club and the press as the arrival of a star. Because he is a professional and not a director chosen by the club’s friends, as is often the case in Brazil, he will be able to contribute a lot to the evolution of our football, imbued with the Brazilian way, the exchange of favors, the adulation and the privileges.
