No CNN Esportes S/A this Sunday (1), Paulo Vinícius Coelho, the PVCanalyzed the impact of SAFs on Brazilian football.
For the commentator, the model can contribute to the growth of the sport, as long as it is accompanied by rules and responsible management.
For , there was an error in interpretation regarding the role of .
SAF cannot be a prefix for getting away with it. You can’t get away with it. And preferably not a scoundrel either. But that’s not how you can get away with it.
According to him, the model does not automatically solve problems. The journalist explained that it can reduce political influence in clubs and increase the accountability of managers.
“You need to have a balance in management, be it an associative club like Flamengo, or a SAF like Cruzeiro, like Atlético, like Botafogo, like Vasco. You need to have a balance in management and the SAF has some advantages. One of them is taking the political life out of the club. If the advisor was good, we would sell it”, he said, when defending more professional structures.
PVC pointed out that one of the advantages of the model is the financial responsibility of the investor. According to him, wrong decisions no longer go unpunished, as losses are now assumed directly by those who invest.
“You will bring more money into football. Of course you have to be responsible”, he assessed.
When commenting on recent cases involving clubs and managers, PVC stated that management problems are not exclusive to SAFs or Brazilian football. For him, sport is often treated as a villain, when in fact it is a victim.
You need to create rules that make hacking impossible. Football often allows itself to be treated as a villain, when in fact it is the victim.
Expansion potential
The commentator also assessed the growth potential of football in the country. PVC cited the increase in average attendance in recent championships and stated that there is still room for expansion.
“It is very possible to expand this, but you have to work,” he said.
According to him, there is a large portion of the Brazilian population without a defined club, which represents an opportunity for growth in the football industry, in addition to the possibility of international expansion of the Brazilian club brand.
For PVC, the challenge is to transform this potential into a project.
“You have to work”, he reinforced.
