Part 4/7:
Critics have pointed fingers at Leila for not arranging a more formal farewell. Commentators suggested that it was less a matter of pettiness and more about logistical challenges. Dudu was amidst a contractual obligation when he departed, and a traditional send-off would have sounded hollow and insincere given the timing.
Dudu’s Legacy Within Palmeiras
Despite the controversial nature of his departure, Dudu remains a beloved figure in Palmeiras’ history. Many fans articulated that a significant farewell is still warranted, ideally involving a ceremony at Allianz Park when he returns from the U.S. with his new team, Cruzeiro. There´s a sense of urgency for the club to offer the honor that Dudu deserves, given his contributions to the team's success over the years.
