Part 4/6:
The comparison made to Flamengo's respectful farewell to Gabriel ("Gabigol") illustrates the potential pitfalls of how transitions of beloved players are managed. Rather than honoring their achievements and legacy, such as Dudu's contributions, Pereira’s comments were perceived as harsh and unappreciative.
Missteps and Fallout
While Pereira may have had valid business reasons for her decisions, the manner of communication was indeed questioned. Even if a cycle has come to a close for a player like Dudu or Rony, how to articulate that closure respectfully is crucial. Pereira seemed to overlook this, leading to significant backlash among fans and commentators alike.
