Brazil had the embryo of a league, ended it and today it is divided into two proposals – 03/11/2023 – Juca Kfouri

The subject is boring, because it is repetitive, and should have been resolved here since the last century. The so-called football country is the only one in the first world of Planeta Bola that does not have a league of clubs to manage its national championship.

It already had, as you know, what could have been a powerful league, the Club of 13, but smaller interests of two top hats and an executive dynamited what was born in 1987, five years before the Premier League, and was murdered in 2011, in a dark partnership between Andrés Sanchez, then president of Corinthians, and compadres Ricardo Teixeira, former president of CBF, and Marcelo Campos Pinto, former executive of Globo Sport. Fifagate later showed other bad deeds by the crony.

It is true that Clube dos 13 never achieved what it intended, limiting itself to playing the role of an agency to negotiate TV rights. Exactly when he was close to fulfilling the role that originated him, he died.

Twelve years passed for the idea of ​​the league to resurrect, in the wake of new platforms and the progressive weakening of our clubs, the majority in a bankrupt state —some forming SAFs, to try to get out of a deplorable situation or because they understood it to be the best solution.

Neither the SAFs, nor even the league, are panaceas, although they are means to establish the minimum conditions of competition.

The lack of understanding of the most popular clubs has prevented the formation of a single league, unable to understand that either an entity is set up in which everyone can grow or we will have the monstrosity of two leagues, Libra and Liga Forte.

Libra brings together the five clubs with the biggest crowds, among others, and Forte those who fight for a more equal division of the pie.

Libra guarantees a partnership with Mubadala Capital, with BTG as intermediary, and an offer of BRL 4.8 billion.

Mubadala is the same company from the United Arab Emirates that bought a refinery in Bahia for half the price, according to a complaint by the Single Federation of Oil Workers to the Federal Public Ministry, in the throes of the Bolsonaro government.

Whether the bargain has to do with the millionaire jewels presented to the Bolsonaro couple is under investigation.

What is known is the urgent need for Brazilian clubs to have their entity without division, to also host the B Series.

Yes, rare reader and rare reader, the theme has already blossomed, it is so old it causes mold and the fear of once again dying on the beach.

Because the cartoon, with the usual exceptions, continues to recite the maxim of each one for himself and the devil for all.

The devil who is wise because he is old luxuriates and winks at European clubs, the English Premier League, the Spanish La Liga, the French Ligue 1, the German Bundesliga, the Italian LNPA, etc. All buyers of commodities also known as young Brazilian soccer players.
And I’m sorry for returning to the soap opera for the thousandth time.

the carioquinha

For many years, the Campeonato Carioca was the most charming in Brazil, a place it lost a long time ago to Paulista, less because of its charm, more because of its relevance, in addition to the awards, organization and competitiveness.

Is it not that in this 2023, because of the crisis in Flamengo, the finals in Rio seem more attractive than in São Paulo?

Which, at least in part, is due to the Portuguese Vítor Pereira and his mother-in-law.
