Part 6/8:
This perspective highlights a prevailing issue in Brazilian football—the inconsistency and failure to nurture young talents correctly. Felipe criticizes the selection process and the overall management of the national team, pointing out the apparent disparity in treatment between established players and rising stars.
The Importance of Protective Management
Felipe argues that instead of being exposed to the pressures of the national team, Stevão would benefit more from continued development with Palmeiras. Being integrated into the club’s training and strategizing with his teammates under coach Abel Ferreira, rather than sitting on the bench for the national team, would be far more advantageous for his career trajectory.
