Renato Gaúcho became a character from the Club World Cup. His work is praised by all, from Abel Ferreira to Enzo Maresca, coach of Chelsea responsible for the elimination of Palmeiras.
“I like him a lot. I told you when we played the Brazilian Cup final, also when we won Libertadores,” said Abel. “I hope he ever invite me to play in Copacabana.”
Abel only missed the address. It’s Ipanema!
The Ipanema boy is part of the Brazilian success at the Club World Cup. It makes you think about the reasons for determining that there are no more coaches and that what is practiced in Brasileirão is another sport.
Palmeiras was the only one of the four representatives not to beat a European, but played the second half against Chelsea. “They realize that we are competitive against them, when we have top pitch and rest time,” Abel said.
There is no English coach, neither Italian nor German in the semifinals. There is a Brazilian.
Redundant, but necessary, to say once again: What changed the game between European and Brazilians clubs was the Bosman sentence. By equating players to architects, lawyers and engineers, such as European workers entitled to practice their profession without borders in Europe, Brazilians, Argentines and Uruguayans have also been able to work freely as long as they had a passport from their country, sometimes even their spouses.
If it were because they stolen the gold of America, the Europeans would not only have 14 world titles against twenty South Americans when the European Supreme Court sentenced to Bosman.
In the quarterfinals, only Bayern do not have Brazilians and Brazil is the only country on the planet with representatives in all Champions League finals since 2000. The greatest inequality is not to create an economic thinking league where you look more for the tree than to its branches.
When there is root and solid trunk, there will be branches of various sizes, all leafy.
Abel spoke in the first person plural: us. It is very close to signing its renewal for two more years of Palmeiras. It is part of our chaos and our glory. His speech is not a colonizer, but of those who want to help grow the former football.
Renato, too. In this case, symbol of a totally oral game culture. Who saw Telê Santana or Elba de Padua Lima, the strategist Tim, to give training, knows what he did.
“When Tim took those buttons of him, I changed the game,” recalls Gílson Nunes, Tim athlete at Vasco and Fluminense, U-20 World Champion coach in 1985. A part of the problem is that this rich culture is not in books.
Portugal will not have a coach in the semifinals either, but created a generation capable of winning 75 titles in 30 countries in the 21st century. The study helped unite theory and practice. The Portuguese are 11 million inhabitants and economically lower economy than Brazil.
The Club World Cup demonstrates that football resists former football. There is a lot to work with. But there is much potential to explore.
