OPINION
Opinion of João Rosado. In the inauguration, the speech of the new president of the FPF fell in Saco Roto.
If you were any other agent, you would say that you had fallen from parachutes in Portuguese football, on a very high risk mission and without the slightest guarantee of the consummation of the objectives.
In the case of Pedro Proença, the flight has long planned for the city of football deserves a special framing and firstly the recognition of a dose of courage as high as its ambition.
The fact that he was years old for the elite referee consolidated in the new president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) a robustness and experience that soon provided him with wide favoritism in electoral races (when he had competition …), constituting the immediately predicated essentials essential To help you disguise the shortcomings and smallness of a championship with propaganded talent and without true international expression.
One of the gigantic differences between the challenges that Proença faced as the leader of the professional clubs and those that from yesterday will formally ahead translates to the fact that he now wears the jersey of one of the universal scale candidates, a newly champion who Enter all the tests to win and that is not satisfied with a fifth place in the ranking.
Over the past 10 years, as the League Directorate, the striking moments of a growing management have been circumscribed to a domestic dimension, without neglecting the obvious impact on the image and the degree of competitiveness exposed in an uefeiro context and not always for the best reasons.
When invested on Monday as the main face of an FPF who by the voice of the coach assumed the achievement of the world title as a goal for 2026, Pedro Proença knows that he will have to climb the bar of responsibilities and that many of those who applauded him from Footing in the room are the same ones that began to pull the rug, providing him with a defeat in his debut.
As if they were small the task of not disrupting the assumed inheritance, the former referee witnessed on his own day of inauguration the unbelievable at will with which certain protagonists sent a speech to the trash that appealed to blameless ethical behavior and in the name of a new era. “May the union we seek be watered every day. May your dispute be exclusively on the pitch and that this new generation of leaders do not fail to people and the country, ”read Proença, preceding a change of impressions from Frederico Varandas with journalists who served Sporting to respond with striking to the newsrooms FC Porto and Benfica.
Confronted with the content of these publications, who did not forget to make ironic references to the beatification of his person and criticism of the “constant and unreasonable pressure on arbitration,” the Leonino official struck an identical level response, accusing one of “just being Seeing bandits and saints ”and others of“ throwing sand to people’s eyes ”, treating them as“ stupid ”.
The circumstance of the great three of national sports not spared the language and chosen the 1st of the testimony in the city of football to regain the worst of the last four decades only reinforces the comicity and artificiality that marks the meaning of Vote in a single system, a system that obeys exclusively to the doctrine of earning at any price.
President of European Leagues, candidate for one of the seven seats that will compose the new UEFA executive committee in the elections of April 3 and 32nd President of the History of the FPF, the successor of Fernando Gomes has a lot to take care of now on And perhaps it is of your greatest interest to start recounting rifles regarding the mandate lines, centralization of television rights included.
As you must have realized with all clear 24 hours, at any time you can hear a breath of betrayal and disrespect, because no one has doubts that today, as yesterday, as the day before and like tomorrow, which above all worries and guides chronic title candidates relate to the owners of the whistle.
The revolution in the arbitration promised by the man who crushed at the Nuno Lobo ballot boxes is not blindly relying on new generations just because they were born later. Summing up to this criterion is the same as jumping off the plane without parachute.
