Juca Kfouri: The Diniz amendment is worse than the sonnet – 07/08/2023 – Juca Kfouri

The CBF president has always made it clear that Tite’s replacement should be someone committed to the return of flashy football for the Brazilian national team. So, hiring Fernando Diniz is coherent.

By choosing Diniz as interim until the promised, but still populated by clouds, the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, Ednaldo Rodrigues, the little talkative Bahian, which is rare among his countrymen, ironically, opted for a coach who does not have the Italian as a model — who has it as such is exactly the predecessor Tite.

There, the initial coherence is contradicted by the next step.

And Diniz’s permanence at the head of Fluminense is a serious mistake.

Without doubting the young coach’s ethical principles, he is at a dead end. In Laranjeiras and CBF.

If you call up defender Nino and midfielder André, you will have the backing of the previous calls for both.
If you don’t call up the veteran goalkeeper Fábio, the experienced Paulo Henrique Ganso and the fast Keno, you will have problems in the squad. (It is unthinkable to call Felipe Melo.)

Fábio continues to think about it, Ganso is perhaps the 10 that has been missing for so long, and Keno is a considerable option for the sides. How to make?

More: a fan of refined players, Diniz must have in mind players like defender Murilo, midfielders like Gabriel Menino and Raphael Veiga, strikers like Artur, Dudu and the surprising Rony. Add the goalkeeper Weverton to the six, and woe betide him if he calls them all. Abel Ferreira and Leila Pereira will be able to invade the CBF headquarters with Mancha Alviverde.

Will Diniz go to Europe to see Brazilian players? It’s agreed not to. So watching them on TV is enough? Detriment to the selection.

As little as Diniz accepts, or acknowledges, the conflict of interests is obvious.

Confidence crises are predictable in the face, for example, of refereeing errors in the Brazilian Championship in favor of the Flu. As much as we all know, except the Palmeirense leadership, which makes mistakes on all sides indiscriminately and incompetently given the low level of VAR and arbitration, full of whistle blowers as bad as most Brazilian coaches.

Imagine the rare reader and the rare reader that Tricolor starts losing games and, by the CBF, compensated by the club (no pun intended, but with…) decides to fire him.

Yes, it will even be a solution for the entity, but what about credibility in front of the fans?

What if, contrary to such a humiliating hypothesis for Diniz, Ancelotti wins everything again at Real Madrid and receives an offer he can’t refuse to stay at the Whites?

Here it has already been written that there is no reason to be in a hurry with the selection, but, in fact, it becomes disrespectful to its image so much cloudiness around it, even more so because, at the same time that the Spanish press denies the CBF, Ancelotti is silent, as it has a contract in force until 2024.
All in all, it is possible to conclude that Diniz was always who the CBF wanted as a homemade solution and did not have the courage to assume.

Now, let him start working and the selection will settle down. Who guarantees that he won’t, as happened with Argentine Lionel Scaloni, 45, four years younger than Diniz and whose first title was already won by the national team, the 2021 Copa América, in Maracanã?

Then, well, then you know what happened in Qatar.

Diniz can become a sonnet. For now, it’s just worse amendment.
