The portrayal of Inter’s fans as suffering, disillusioned and always subject to failures and embarrassments, leads many Colorados to be grateful for not having their own team’s game at the weekend or during the FIFA break.
I’ve been saying for some time now that tragedy always generates more engagement than victories, and that talking bad about something has more repercussions on social networks than celebrating good things.
A good part of the media, mainly the one that develops in social networks, has already noticed this movement, today led by our supporter representing suffering, servile to the interests of a network that has different agendas for Inter and its rival.
Those Colorados who, like me, were lucky enough to see their team three times Brazilian champion, one of them in an unprecedented way, undefeated, and against more popular and economically stronger teams, with more players from the national team than Inter, do not agree and they cannot highlight it.
Inter had moments of low, even before the eighth championship in Rio Grande do Sul, when it saw the rival be champion, and then other periods of low, until the redemption of 2005/2006, again champion of Libertadores in 2010.
However, for that resounding part of the media, only Inter is worth after relegation, and I am incredulous that a team as victorious, with unprecedented and never repeated conquests like Inter, has a fan base that can identify with the suffering.
With all due respect…., or rather, with no respect at all for these mutts, Inter’s fans are not suffering, nor do they deserve this blemish that only feeds professionals who capture clicks on social networks, seeing how profitable it is.
Inter is three times Brazilian champion, facing teams like Cruzeiro, filled with players from the national team, Vasco in his golden days, São Paulo, Corinthians, Atlético Mineiro, Fluminense and so on.
Our club is twice champion of Libertadores and world champion over Barcelona, if not the best, the second best of all time.
I don’t see any pain in that.
Nor do I see that the delay in regaining titles makes victory impossible. As our Boss always remembers, we were tremendously robbed on two recent occasions that became history and reference. On the world stage, there are other big teams without titles as well, and even so they are not associated with suffering.
I say this because I missed Inter games, cheering for the club regardless of who manages it or the players that momentarily make up the colorada squad.
Even more missing after seeing the sluggish match between Croatia and Spain, with both teams terrified of losing and preferring to draw rather than risk winning a title that doesn’t even have that much value on the world stage.
We signed a striker who seems different from the chaff, who may or may not work out (since we signed others with the certainty of efficiency and who turned out to be mediocre here), but who has everything to make the team improve in the completion of the plays and to potentiate our attackers and socks. And some disseminators of suffering already think it’s bad to have a player like that.
I increasingly reject this idea of associating Inter with suffering, calvary, penury, and I increasingly see the need to remember the size of our titles, the uniqueness of our achievements and the strength of our club, against all this media wave dwarfing that only interests rivals.
