Fernando Diniz was never so Brasinense – 06/11/2023 – Sandro Macedo

In one day, the guy wins the Copa Libertadores, the most important title for him, for the club, for a lot of people, including Chico Buarque. There’s barely time to cure his supposed hangover and he’s already calling up the Brazilian team. Everything was so busy that Fernando Diniz wore the same beard at Fluminense and at the call-up press conference.

Shortly before Saturday’s final, I saw a post on social media from my dear friend and columnist for this Sheet Mariliz Pereira Jorge, saying that he would support Flu, to see his friends happy and also because Fluminense was Brazil against Boca.

At the time I became a goat, as my late father would say. It must be some trauma I carry from the 1980s, when I was educated in football by Galvão Bueno. I thought every team in the country was Brazil in the Libertadores, I lent my fans and, the next day, I was mocked by my friends from the day before — my brother still owes me some of the fans I lent.

However, Mariliz’s fans made perfect sense. After all, Fernando Diniz is from Brazil. And even better, he gets a paycheck from each of them. At the team’s press conference, journalists congratulated them on the Libertadores title. “First of all, thank you,” the teacher replied.

This scribe also has the bad habit of associating everything that happens in the universe with a film — the fault of his many years running a video store. And Diniz’s double identity reminds me a lot of the charismatic “Eu, Minha Mulher e Minhas Cópias”, a hit from the 1990s (always them) with Michael Keaton and Andie MacDowell.

In the comedy, a man who couldn’t handle multiple roles meets a scientist who provides clones, but each one ends up taking on a different personality, from sensitive to brucutu.

After a thorough evaluation, this scribe came to the conclusion that Diniz has some clones. One of them is adored by players in training and lectures, he preaches football played with joy and happiness. He’s the good clone.

At the edge of the field comes the Brucutu clone, who says more swear words than soap can wash away, makes an ugly face and swears a lot. However, when it’s time to celebrate, the somersaulting clone arrives, kisses everyone, lifts insulted players onto his lap and cheers the fans. A cute one.

When Diniz goes to the Brazilian team, the stuck clone enters. Notice that he has the same body position on the edge of the field and his features are exactly the same. But he doesn’t scold anyone, he doesn’t even insult the whistle blower’s mother, which is allowed even in the Qatar World Cup. Worse, the lazy clone praises everything Neymar does, even emojis.

However, when calling up the Brazilian team this Monday (6), professor Fernando Diniz seemed more Brazilian than ever, probably giving the stuck-up clone a vacation. Thus, he made the best list since taking on his second job — it helped that medallions like Danilo and Neymar were injured.

The teacher used the mantra “football is a moment”, look how crazy it is. Strikers who don’t score goals weren’t called up, including Richarlison, the good guy, but who isn’t even Tottenham’s best son.

An attack with Vinicius Jr., Gabriel Martinelli and newcomer Endrick has everything to make noise in Carlo Ancelotti’s next years (is that coming?) — not to mention Vitor Roque, the injured teenager. Wise men will say in the future, perhaps in the 2026 World Cup, that this was the legacy of Fernando Diniz, the original.

Only early ending
Don’t miss, this Wednesday (8), Flamengo x Palmeiras, the anticipated final that takes place one day before Grêmio x Botafogo, the anticipated final. Then, on Saturday, there is Fla x Flu, an early final. On Sunday, hearts will swarm with Bragantino x Botafogo, which, as everyone knows, is the anticipated final.
