Frankii is a black, black driver born in New York, lives and works in Miami. I entered your car Sunday (15), after Boca Juniors news conference at Hard Rock Stadium. He told me his life, said he likes Spanish music, loves to travel.
I agreed. Travel is the best way to know other styles and cultures. I told you about the last World Cup at Qatar. Anywhere in the world there are good and bad people and, first and foremost, we need to observe, seize.
He said, “It’s true, but except the Arabs. They are crazy. They come an American and say, they are bad! As he spoke, he pretended to have a rifle in his hands.
Better to change the subject, at least in your car.
Let’s talk about football.
It is not a complex of mutt what is happening today between football in Brazil and Europe. If the teams keep their balance, since the invasion of South Americans, Africans and Asians in Europe, the club game has been uneven.
A quick account indicates that even the two-time world championship of Sao Paulo, the South American advantage was 19 to 13.
Today, accounting is all European. After Belgian player, Jean Marc Bosman, earn his cause at the European court and equate every professional athlete to any European passport worker, the European Clubs Massacram.
It is simple to understand. Yan Couto, Brazilian right-back of Borussia Dortmund, Fluminense’s opponent at the Club World Cup debut, plays with a Portuguese passport. He is not a foreigner in the German Championship account and UEFA tournaments.
The result is everyone will be suspicious that they will lose to European rivals.
Until the last world title in South America, from Corinthians, was won defending more than attacking. In the past, Santos, Flamengo, Grêmio, Sao Paulo won clubs from daring in the attack.
The tactic was the only chance of Europeans. Today, the reverse.
Flamengo will try to attack Chelsea on Friday (20), as he did against Liverpool in Doha, six years ago. You can win. Making everyone around the ocean believing it is more difficult.
The dispute is to know who was closer to breaking European hegemony. The 2019 Flamengo, which faced Liverpool and lost 1-0? Or Palmeiras, whose defeat to Chelsea 2-1 happened with a penalty goal when three minutes left to end the extension.
The fight is to know who suffered less.
Until when Palmeiras tied, it is said to be against the worst European representative. Strictly speaking, the worst of the season was Salzburg, 34th in the first phase of the Champions League.
Frankii and his fear of the Arab peoples is the result of a policy that spread what is called Islamophobia today. It comes from afar, especially from September 11, 2001, the air strike to the World Trade Center.
Brazil’s club football needs to learn to deal with “Europefobia”. It is the fear of facing European rivals. Neither pre -concept should persist. Both rely on facts in the recent past.
