What awaits us is a new team for 2025. The financial issue must weigh heavily, and it will be difficult to retain the players with a proposal that immediately brings money to the club, so that some more urgent debts can be resolved.
This is the picture that emerges from the press.
I have no specific information on the financial situation of the club, nor on the size and maturities of the debt, nor will I analyze the club’s financial statements; I stick to press information, however dubious it may be, because the sources are not reliable and there are many interests other than those of the club that are conveyed by the press.
With this situation, I think the team should be reformulated and we could lose Wesley, Bruno Gomes, Rômulo, Vitão and Gabriel Carvalho. Even worse, we may not be able to get the starting pieces we need today, like defenders.
Of course, it is possible to put together a team with what we have. Nobody was betting on Bruno Gomes as a full-back, Rômulo finally performed very well, after being branded as “not good enough”, and Vitão, perhaps due to the negotiations he was involved in, also managed to resume his performances. last year; Gabriel Carvalho is 17 years old and Wesley has had a magical season after a few seasons of decline and without results.
It is possible that the payroll will be lightened with the departure of Alário, and possibly we will have surprises with some guys from the base, such as Luis Otávio and Yago Noal, who they speak very well of and who I have seen perform well, even if the funnel of professional is very cruel.
Once again we closed the year with a confirmed coach, which allows for better and more complete programming, even if in previous years this has not given great results, the gain in terms of retention is undeniable.
It’s not the first time we’ve found ourselves in financial difficulty, and on other occasions we’ve managed to put together good, competitive teams, with a fair amount of successful signings, few of them brilliant, but most of them efficient.
Fans less accustomed to titles will say that we cannot compete with Flamengo, Palmeiras and other SAFs, but they forget that all of Inter’s titles were won at a disadvantage compared to the main teams of the time.
Yes, we were not better than Barcelona and at the beginning of the championship we were not considered better than Cruzeiro, Corinthians, Fluminense, Vasco and others, real football machines with the stars of the Brazilian national team at the time when we were favorites in the world cups. It was for these teams that Nelinho, Raul, Rivelino, Dinamite, Jorge Mendonça, Jairzinho and others played, wearing the bell that Colorado wore only after the title.
Nobody bet on Guarani with Capitão, Careca and Bozó, nor on Bahia with Dodô and Charles.
These examples demonstrate that it is possible to put together competitive teams with the possibility of winning the title even without being protagonists, depending on the team’s physical condition and willingness to sacrifice, as Pacheco rightly underlined.
And very recently, Leicester proved this in the competitive English league.
I would certainly like to repeat our squad, with some additions and other exemptions, but I won’t despair at seeing the team play with different names compared to the end of last year.
