The first is the following.
Where did players like Pelé, Zico, Ronaldo, Romário come from?
These people came from different regions of Brazil.
But in common, they played football in the street, on the small pitch, on the community fields, at school.

The period when we dominated world football was the period when young people left that model, were then selected by clubs, adapted to field football.

About: restore public safety in Brazilian neighborhoods
With the lack of security in the cities, with the end of social spaces for coexistence, like the campus do Varser, the kids simply stopped playing football in the street.
My parents' generation played football in the street.
Mine played a little.
Today, the newer generations simply don't play.
And that was common in every neighborhood of every big city.
Now, only some boys from the periphery and from some interior towns have that opportunity.
And even there, they are already recruited by agents, sent to training centers, where they learn to play football in the European model.
They become... quickly players to be sold and exported, especially full-backs, wingers and defensive midfielders, they lose any link with the Brazilian way of playing and become these somewhat stateless figures who play for the national team as if they were doing us a favor.

It also means having a scholarship policy for students who do very well in their interclass championships so that they can go to the first football clubs without going through the figure of the agent, and there practice, over that time, the Brazilian style of playing football.
But it doesn't stop there.

About: investigate and punish corruption in the Brazilian Football Federation
Today, this entity has become a satellite outpost of a certain group within the STF, with no relation to the Brazilian interest in using football, which is a central expression of its culture, as an instrument that promotes the country.
Because yes, my friends, today the world sees Brazil as a toothless dog.
