There are always counterpoints in the choice of Davide Ancelotti for Botafogo coach. The risk, however, is the word that brings together all currents
Ivo Meirelles coined one of the best phrases in the transmission of Rio de Janeiro Carnival Samba schools. “Everything can happen, including nothing.” The commentator managed to synthesize, with Argugia, two antagonistic ideas by launching his predictions on another night of disputes at the Marquês de Sapucaí. Here, Botafogo approached the wisdom of Carioca by sending the intake of Davide Ancelotti Italiana, candidate for phenomenon and bankruptcy at the same time. At the age of 35, the son of Carlo Ancelotti of the Brazilian national team has never led a team and has always accompanied his father as auxiliary, both in Spain, Italy, Germany or England. That is, he is an “expert beginner”, two other words that oppose. Therefore, in advance, it is necessary to move away from convictions and certainties in the primary analysis of the new coach Alvinegro. All of us journalists have pre -stalized opinions.
Filipe Luís or Domènec?
Davide Ancelotti could be the new Filipe Luís, a coach who made his debut winning a Brazilian cup, took a Carioca, a Brazilian super cup and put Flamengo in the guidance of the Brazilian championship before the Super Club Super Club. Or he could remember Domènec Torrent, the assistant of Pep Guardiola who lasted less than four months in the Vulture nest when the red black team was the current owner of Libertadores and Brazil’s Cups. There will always be a counterpoint on the other side. The risk, however, is the name that all currents like. Optimists and pessimists agree that a coach began his career, mid -season, in a Brazilian football giant, is a very dangerous bet. Nobody expected. THE Big boss John Texor has launched all the chips in the future and may not have given due importance to the present.
Tickets for four high -level alloys
The audacity of the majority partner Saf Botafogo attracts attention. Davide Ancelotti is the first card of these new times of John Textor with the most traditional attention, the club that guaranteed the greatest successes for the managers of Eagle football. The problem is that there are decisive games in sight. From the end of July to mid -August, the Alvinegro will compete for life in the 16 libertadores round and the Brazilian cup, with Brazilirão rounds that interspers the two Knockout championships. Curious to know, for example, as Ancelottinho will survive the altitude of Quito. There is no room for tests, experiences or for restoring the game. The coach’s current son will have to prepare to put into practice everything he learned in Bayern Munich, Naples, Everton and Real Madrid. Four different football cultures and high -level alloys that guarantee diversity at work. But the new coach of the stove has never had the last word in the technical committees.
Ball on the floor
The “Botafogura” reacted with amazement and disbelief to the name of the young Italian coach, Saturday evening (5). Hours later, however, when the 7-1 press editorialists still kicked, the black and white universe put the ball on the ground and started to better assimilate the reason why Davide Ancelotti was chosen. Unbelief has given way to curiosity. Textor went against it. The moment asked for a professional with curriculum and cups. What if the promising alternative works? Here, we don’t hope for our theories, but the most traditional.
