It’s weird to be writing this note, but I am strangely happy. First of all I want to say that I am not someone that doesn’t like soccer or that doesn’t love my country. I truly do. But, in this world cup, for me, it was somehow much more than about just soccer.
Our coach is a new guy. He was a brave “warrior” in the cups that he participated. He was always someone that pushed the team and raised their energies and etc. That must be credited to him, of course. But, as a coach of our team… for me he was a completely disaster.
Talking about soccer, and only soccer, he decided to choose the “most committed” players. There was a reason for that. Last world cup, the whole country was disappointed with the attitude of our players. They didn’t show any commitment and energy to win that world cup.
However, the decision that our coach took was at least, infantile. He selected just the “fully committed” players. And what about the talent? What about the so admired Brazilian soccer and soccer players? Why to do not chose a talented substitute for Kaka, our best player when everything pointed for him to do not be 100% for this cup? Summing up, choosing people like: Felipe Melo, Michel Bastos, Kleberson, Josué, Donni… was at least, very controversial.
But I am not strangely happy because of this. I am strangely happy because of the completely unacceptable attitude and posture of our coach. He a bunch of things that couldn’t be accepted by anyone: he said bad words about journalists in a press conference, he started a war with all the media channels, he was aggressive and was incoherent with his own decision in many times.
So, why am I strangely happy? It’s somehow simple. During my whole life I was criticized to have the same attitudes that was questioned and pointed about our coach. Many people, so many times, asked me to chance my behavior and to be a friendly person and to consider more the others opinions and etc. I worked hard many years to be shaped more in this sense. Nowadays, I feel like I am much more like this than I was 5 years ago. So, why should we support such a stupid behavior in a true Brazilian leader? Someone that in this season is one of the most important people in the country – even more than our president.
Therefore, somehow I am happy. Of course I would be happy to see my team to win this championship. But more than that I would like those lessons to be learned in our country and to be taken for the most important world cup in our history, 2014! There, with any coach, any selection of players, in any city… I will be fully supporting our team. Because, today, I think we have learned the hard lesson.
