What Tite said about his future and the scandal that shakes the Brazilian Football Confederation

The perfect score of the Brazilian team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers was in the background. The focus on the neighboring country transcends football for the complaint of alleged moral and sexual abuse of Rogerio Caboclo, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and what decision the players and their coach, Tite, will make about the next Copa América to be played in their country. In this complex framework, today the DT of the Verdeamarela gave a press conference where he responded to everything.

Caboclo was discharged from his position for 30 days due to the aforementioned complaint by a CBF employee. It was after several hectic days in Brazil, in the middle of the South American Qualifiers and close to the Copa América, that Tite chose to speak to the media, in the preview of the match against Paraguay in Asunción on Tuesday.

Regarding his future, he clarified: “I am going to talk about my judgment and what my scale of values ​​says. I have a lot of respect for my work, for the Brazilian team, for this moment of the World Cup Qualifiers. And the best way to return the affection of the people who support me and respect what they are against, is to do my best work. That’s what i’m gonna keep doing”.

In tune with your statements, Antonio Carlos Nunes, who replaced Caboclo, in dialogue with the newspaper The Liberal, he asserted: “I’ll put it this way: Are we winning? We won the Copa América in 2019. And now we are about to qualify for the World Cup. As the saying goes, ‘no changes are made to a team that is winning.’

The leader added: “Tite is my friend. I couldn’t talk to him this Sunday. I just wanted to tell you that now I am in charge of the decisions. I really like your work, it’s very serious”.

Regarding what happened with Caboclo, Tite expressed that he is aware “of the size and severity of the case. Now there is a CBF Ethics Committee that takes the necessary measures ”and that is not“ their responsibility ”. Faced with this complicated panorama, the coach indicated: “I am at peace. I have a lot of peace for the people around me, for the group of people. Sometimes I lose it and someone relays me, a family member or friend. I am very demanding in the conduct of our work ”.

Much is said about the decision that the players will make after the match against the Guarani and what they will say about their participation in the Copa América. Also what is the position of the coach and the rest of his coaching staff. Regarding this, Tite said: “When we manifest it, it will be in our time, with what we understand to be correct. When I talk about us, it is the coaching staff and the players. We are very proud of our conduct, of the respect we have for this. I want to be in body and soul, doing the best job possible. We want to play soccer and have a great game against Paraguay ”.

Last Friday, after the game that Brazil beat Ecuador 2-0, the midfielder Casemiro, stated in an interview with Brazilian television: “We cannot talk about this matter, the world knows our opinion, I think it is impossible to clarify. Tite has already made it clear what we think about the Copa América. There is respect, hierarchies that we have to respect. We want to express our opinion after the match against Paraguay. We do not want to deviate from the focus of the Playoffs and qualification for the World Cup. “

The clash against the Guaraní team will be this Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. The setting is particular because there will be more attention to what happens in the post-game press conference than in the game itself. It will be necessary to see what is the decision of Tite and his directors regarding their presence in the Copa América that will take place in their country.
