Assistant to Dudu Oliveira, the coach said the final list brings together the best players in the country to defend the title
Assistant coach Preto, who will accompany Dudu Oliveira at the head of the Brazilian team at the Kings of Nations World Cup, defended the work accomplished in calling up the 13 players who will represent the country at the Kings League World Cup. Participating in a podcast, the commander expressed his discomfort with the first reactions of the public, which favored questions about absences rather than highlighting the strength of the chosen squad.
According to Preto, the negative repercussions that followed the announcement of the list do not reflect the real quality of the names mentioned. For him, the criticisms appeared even before any more in-depth analysis of the technical options available.
“Let’s talk about the Brazilian team. Instead of saying about the team that all 13 are very good, the first thing they say is ‘who was missing from the team?’ He already wants to stir up controversy. Who should be there? Everywhere… We are very well represented. Look what this team can achieve, they can win the title. But the first reactions… Ah, who was missing? Oh, so-and-so plays tennis. So-and-so is playing ping-pong. So-and-so must be American. Just to burn. And sometimes people don’t follow through and get caught up. Because we commented and commented too. Oh, it’s always like that. Oh, it’s a frying pan. That’s all, that’s all. And truly, I will defend and I will speak. The best have really been chosen. Preferences have been chosen.
Kings League coaches go beyond performance
Furthermore, Preto stressed that to evaluate a call-up it is necessary to go beyond the supporter’s point of view, understanding the tactical aspects, functions and specific needs of the team. He said he often responds to criticism with questions to show how many of the comments are baseless.
“You have to understand that when you are going to give a critique, you have to master the subject and understand what you are going to talk about. If you want to talk about a call-up, you have to have the clinical look of a coach. Not a fan. And then, sometimes, I ask. Ah, who was missing? Ah, “A” was missing. So, who would you put in his place? Then, I would change the conversation to questions. So, who would you put in there? And then you see that the answer has nothing to do with it. see with that, you see, they’re different positions Just because the guy had a big highlight.
The deputy stressed that the technical committee is satisfied with the group formed and believes that Brazil is strong enough to compete for the title of the World Cup of Nations, a competition that will bring together teams from several countries in the league created by Gerard Piqué. According to him, the mission will be to transform the team’s individual talents into a competitive team and as part of the identity that the public expects to see wearing the national team jersey.
