Fluminense turned out to be the last Brazilian club to be eliminated from the World Cup.
There are those who have celebrated their head, the latest national submission to Europeans, who, as we know, do not necessarily have the best players on the planet Bola, although they have money on the squeegee to hire them.
It is not even a question of saying that it is impossible to compete with the power of Real Madrid, although the Spanish economy is smaller than the Brazilian.
Or that you can not compete with Saudi Arabia petrodollars, as well as the euros of Bayern Munich or the Liverpool sterlin pounds.
Because it is not today that we are exporters of the workplace, as we have been to raw materials instead of selling manufactured products or as we are still commodities.
We sold the artists instead of the show for decades.
One day, in the distant year of 1983, Zico, the largest idol of the most popular club in Brazil, Flamengo, was negotiated with Udinese, who had just climbed to Serie A Italian, headquartered in the city of Udine, then with a population that was all over the Maracanã.
Zico ended up the Italian Championship vice-scorer in his first season, just one goal less than Michel Platini, from the powerful Juventus, with fewer games played than the French star.
More recently, in 2019, Fluminense, from Pires in hand, had to sell João Pedro to Watford of the English second division, whose headquarters is in the city of the same name, with 102,000 inhabitants.
João Pedro, know the rare reader and the rare reader, scored the two goals that eliminated Fluminense.
Yes, it is obvious, Real loses to the coins of the countries mentioned, but the biggest problem is far from this.
Busílis is comparing club and championship management here and out of here.
Neither unified club connects we have, and our clubs live from hand to the mouth. Some can even sell well, others sell in front of the first offer.
Pretty sales, technical assessment errors happen in the best families. Just find the mistake of Manchester City when negotiating, with rival Chelsea, her 21 -year -old Cole Palmer’s silver in 2023.
Error plywood for $ 250 million paid in the transfer of the young man who since the age of ten was in City. Pep Guardiola must live regretful for having agreed.
Vinicius Junior, sold in 2017, cost $ 164 million and became the best in the world, according to FIFA.
Stephen, true, is in Chelsea for almost $ 360 million.
Okay, or almost, when it comes to powers like Real Madrid or Chelsea or Al Hilal.
Mas udinese?! Watford? !!
This is how World Cups are lost before, long before they start.
João Pedro’s two goals, negotiated for R $ 50 million, added for about R $ 20 million with his two transfers between clubs in England, resulted in the loss of R $ 165 million that Fluminense would receive if it reached the final. Subtracts 70 of 165.
There is nothing to celebrate.
If the exhaustive defeat for Chelsea and the loss of such fortune, perhaps avoidable if Joao Pedro had not gone to play at Watford, should be cryed.
Then, the World Cup finalist, eventually champion, Fluminense could sell it to a power for $ 500 million.
Fim.
