Flamengo and Corinthians discuss ethics in football – 09/28/2023 – PVC

Tite arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday (26), surrounded by reporters eager to know if he would accept Flamengo’s invitation. He simply stated: “What matters to me is respect.” Afterwards, he confirmed that he resides in Barra da Tijuca, west of Rio. He was just heading home.

Between the lines, he made it clear that he did not feel comfortable talking about a club with an employed coach.

There is no reason to doubt Tite’s respect.

Everyone is suspicious of ethics in football.

Less than 24 hours after the former coach of the Brazilian national team arrived, a rumor emerged that his manager, Gilmar Veloz, had been at the Neo Química Arena during Corinthians 1 x 1 Fortaleza.

According to the rumor, the Corinthians president, Duílio Monteiro Alves, heard from Veloz that Tite could not accept Corinthians, as he already had an agreement with Flamengo.

The story was vehemently denied by those who were with Duílio. “The president asked out of curiosity and heard that Tite does not intend to work in Brazil this year.” In one fell swoop, Gilmar Veloz ruled out Corinthians, without losing the chance to change his mind later, in the event of an agreement with Flamengo.

Meanwhile, the red-black management let Jorge Sampaoli work at Ninho do Urubu, while the entire country knew he was fired.

It happened to Paulo Sousa, dismissed on June 9, 2022, right after training in Atibaia, the day before Dorival Júnior was announced as his replacement. The expectation is that Tite will settle salaries and then Sampaoli will be officially dismissed.

But…

What if Gilmar Veloz told the truth when he told Duílio Monteiro Alves that Tite does not intend to work in Brazil in 2023? What if Tite doesn’t want to live in an environment where he could be the next one exposed, giving training, with the whole country already knowing that he’s fired?

Tite had a serious personal problem in 2003, when he was invited by Juvenal Juvêncio and was unable to take over São Paulo.

It was published that he rejected Morumbi. In fact, he asked for weeks to resolve the family issue first. There wasn’t time.

It was also said that he regretted not going to Morumbi. He could be the Libertadores champion two years later. He waited nine more and won the continental tournament with Corinthians.

What belongs to man, animals don’t eat.

Four months ago, before hiring Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Corinthians made an offer to Mano Menezes. Mano didn’t even think that the elections for club president would be a problem, knowing that he was wanted by both parties.

He refused because he didn’t want to break his contract with Internacional. He has received criticism from those who work close to him. The argument: Inter would fire him, sooner or later. In July, Beira Rio welcomed Eduardo Coudet as Mano Menezes’ replacement.

In four months, Corinthians hired and fired Luxemburgo and signed Mano Menezes.

Luxemburgo’s dismissal doesn’t seem fair, as he had seven starters over 31 years old and reduced it to three, Moscardo discovered, hired Murillo —later sold— and lost Roger Guedes in the middle of the Copa do Brasil semifinals, while São Paulo strengthened with Lucas.

Unfair, but respectful.

Once decided, the dismissal was communicated to the employee and, shortly afterwards, announced.

Have you ever had a boss who let the office know that your coworker was going to be fired on Friday after work? Would you like to work with him again?

Mario de Andrade wrote “Love, intransitive verb”.

Respect should also be.
