Brazil’s tragedy

The defeat of Brazil and the reactions that have occurred around the world show that it was not just a football game. If you do not start from this conviction you cannot understand the pain it has caused. I have worked with athletes who lost the Olympics when it was supposed they had to win and some of them have never come back to the success, others have lived through four successive years growing inside them just an idea, that of redemption. Apparently iBrazil-Germany was a game like many others, but what it changes in these situations is the meaning of the match. It ‘s  likethe difference between making a run in the plains and do the same at the 5000m, the distance is the same but everything is different: if you’re not prepared to deal with the difficulties involved you crash to the ground after 10m. In Brazil, the entire country has stopped, the social protests broke down and all are united in supporting the team with extreme passion. Team that has melted like snow in the sun, without knowing and willing to respond to the first German goal. The sin of which are stained lies in having thought to be what they were not, it is a sin of presumption that first made ​​the coach. The second was to believe that Neymar was the leader of the team, maybe he is a champion, he definitely is not a leader. And a team with no leader cannot function rather swerves. A team without a boss can never win, because it does not know how to deal with difficult times. All this without taking into consideration the low technical level of many players. It was a losing proposition that only the emotional excitement lived by the Brazilian had managed to hide until yesterday.

It is in fact determined to Brazil around a huge halo effect of which  also the media has been victims , which it has been manifested in continuing to say that this team, certainly was not as strong as in the past, but it was still Brazil. This team reminded me instead the movie reconstructions,  from the front they look like the real ones but going back, we realize that they are cardboard constructions, and that there is nothing behind the facade. Now Brazil need a new generation of players who have not experienced in the pitch this tragedy and who wants to play for fun and to stay together, which are the best reasons to manage the emotion to play for the Brazilian knowing that the world is expecting that you always win.
