A season before debuting in the Brazilian soccer team, Raí lived a great individual phase. Your team, Botafogo-SP, not so much. Still young, the star was sometimes annoyed with his companions. “I was finding myself,” he says at Casafolha, available at Casafolhasp.com.br.
Pedro Rocha, idol of São Paulo in the 1970s, was the coach of the team of Ribeirão Preto, in the interior of São Paulo. One day he gave a hard time in Raí. He said that if he thought he was better, he also had a greater responsibility.
Raí learned the lesson. He changed his behavior and dedicated himself even more. It helped save Botafogo from relegation in the state championship and, the following year, led the team to the top of the table. Trendy, he had his first opportunity in the selection in 1987.
“Honestly, I was playing better, individually, when the team was bad,” he says at Casafolha, a streaming platform with exclusive courses released by Sheet a year ago. “The difference is that the group was working better [em 1987]”, says the Tricolor idol, who later became captain of the Brazilian team.
In Casafolha classes, Raí takes advantage of the elite football experience to talk about topics such as discipline, leadership, teamwork, pressure and career transition, among other subjects.
Raí’s lessons are at Casafolha’s “High Perfomance Journey”, which also features Aline Wolff, a psychologist at Gymnast Rebeca Andrade, and Fernanda Keller, legend of the triathlon.
In all, there are 27 courses led by great personalities in different areas, such as former Minister Pedro Malan, who explains how the economy analyzes, chef Helena Rizzo, who talks about culinary techniques to use at home, Monja Coen, who teaches meditation, and filmmaker José Padilha, who discusses the art of telling stories.

In Raí classes, he recalls Pedro Rocha’s scolding and the call for the Brazilian team as an example of the importance of teamwork.
“There was a first lesson there: you can have the best performance in the world, but if the group is not working, your individual capacity will be limited. So you have to think about the group even for your own interest.”
The star also talks about Telê Santana, who commanded the national team in the 1980s and was his coach in Sao Paulo in the early 1990s.
“Telê was obsessed with the beautiful game,” says Raí. “The main feature of Telê’s selection was the collective plastic beauty, which I call choreography.”
For the tricolor idol, the pleasure of the collective game is greater than that of a great individual move. And Telê knew that like no one else.
“The great magic of Telê is that he could wake up in the athlete, however star he was, the pleasure of the collective game,” recalls the ace. “He exploited each one of each individually, but at the service of the collective.”
