UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT – Quintal do Dalai

As he entered, Ronaldo left. By surprise, surrounded by the confidentiality typical of large transactions. Savior of the country for millions. Opportunist for another. As always, time will break the tie.

Unwittingly, he is a victim and beneficiary of the technological avalanche that drives our times crazy. We are cattle in the pasture. Depending on the speed, intensity and quality of the doses of “information” poured into our electronic addresses, we go one way or the other according to the “sincere lies”.

Level of information: zero. We know exclusively what the protagonists want to transpire. It began on that hazy morning when, right after the Deliberative Council’s vote authorizing the SAF, Sergio Rodrigues bypassed his advisors and flew to São Paulo, handing Cruzeiro over to Ronaldo.

Alvimar de Oliveira Costa, Bruno Oliveira, Regis Campos, Alexandre Azevedo and Paulo Henrique Pentagna, five qualified citizens from whom Sérgio Rodrigues, in the case of SAF, even asked for an opinion on the relative humidity of the air, woke up stunned the next day with the bomb: Ronaldo bought Cruzeiro.

We know there were other proposals. We just ignored it because it wasn’t publicized. This is customary in competitions, in favor of two words that are worth their weight in gold at these times: transparency, compliance. Without scratching the reliability clauses. There is a minimum of basic information that people from Cruzeiro had the right to know, starting with the values ​​offered and the qualifications of other applicants. Right now, in the transaction being concluded between Ronaldo and Pedrinho, the two gave more than two hours of interviews in the Toca 2 auditorium, with the CEO Gabriel Lima also present. There was a condition imposed beforehand and shoved down the journalists’ throats: no talking about values.

Life goes on and, now, we are in the hands of another manager. Just as Ronaldo is a unique winner in football, Pedrinho is a beast in business. He knows what he does. He knows where he’s going. He knows where he wants to get to. All this with blue blood. God protect us.

CHAT IN THE BACKYARD

1. Cruzeiro x Internacional postponed! – We will have to wait a few more days until we see Cruzeiro again. The match between Cruzeiro and Inter, which would take place next Saturday night, was postponed due to heavy rain in Rio Grande do Sul. All teams from Rio Grande do Sul had their matches postponed – playing inside or outside the state. More time for Seabra to tune the team with his ideas. We will soon see if this is good or bad.

2. Cruzeiro-SAF à la Phenomenon – Comparatively, cold investment figures indicate that Ronaldo did not dip his toes into his pocket:

Botafogo – 139 million

Vasco – 120 million

Bahia – 51 million

Cruzeiro – 11 million.

3. May – On this second day, millions of Cruzeiro residents remember the title of the last column, written by Rafael de Novaes Rocha: I WANT THE LUCK OF A QUIET MONTH!

4. Augustustireless in its quixotic journey to dehydrate our “heroic, immortal pages” launches new form of competition: “Pega-varetas”…

My dear Augustuswouldn’t it be more productive for your Club if you channeled this fertile imagination towards improving (!) Atlético’s other specialists?

5. Bernard J of Assisiwithout mincing words, curses the blogger:

“The language will pay! He keeps mocking the format of the Atletic SAF, insinuating the supposed cleverness of black and white investors. But how will he behave with the blue SAF taking a similar path to Atlético? ”

My dear Bernard, today I have as many hopes as I have doubts. Pedrinho is successful managing companies. Now he will manage passions. At every crossroads you will have to choose between reason and heart.

I disagree, however, with your statement that while the blue SAF is full of obscure points, the athletic one

“…it was debated exhaustively by the Council, fans and the press, in a long process until its completion…”

Really?

The process was indeed long due to the complexity of the paths and obstacles to be overcome. But the cards were always marked. Rubens Menin selling it to himself.

6. Roberto Cardoso de Sousapragmatic, has no illusions:

“I spent the whole weekend ruminating on what grammatical juggling act our host would use to define CSA-MG’s new SAFadeza and then compare it with Atlético’s SAFadeza…”

Robertothis time, the “juggling” is mystical: praying and hoping.

7. Thiago Rodrigues opens campaign for a historical review: Cruzeiro is not the “people’s team”, it does not have the biggest fans in Minas, etc, etc. He writes, and well, as a passionate athlete (apologies for the pleonasm). He is right when he focuses on the elitism of football today, keeping the less well-off groups away from the stadiums. Commendable, when recognizing the prolonged blue hegemony:

“…Third highest average attendance in the history of the Brazilian Championship, having gone 50 years without winning one…”

Congratulations on your frankness, Thiago.

8. Speak (not) Seriously! Providing a soundtrack for Ronaldo and Pedrinho’s meeting in a bar:

“If you want me

I’m one of those women who only says yes

For something random, a good night out, a cinema, a bar…”

We have an obligation to accept mockery like this. We’ve done worse. And it wasn’t just for three years…

9. Romulo opens discussion on the “13 million Cruzeiro people”. He carried out research, concluded that no Cruzeiro sector manager discloses this number, and concluded:

“The exclusivity of saying that there are 13 million belongs to Dalai alone. Who is right? All YouTubers specializing in Cruzeiro or the Dalai? Hahaha”.

My dear Romulome and the research endorsed by Revista Placar (read Editora Abril).
