No Ataque

Revelado nas categorias de base do Cruzeiro em meio ao período mais sombrio do clube, que ficou três anos na Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro, Thiago hoje brilha no futebol europeu. O centroavante de 22 anos, que defende o Club Brugge, da Bélgica, concedeu entrevista exclusiva ao No Ataque e contou tudo sobre como lidou com as críticas e a pressão de parte da torcida celeste nesse tempo.

Segundo ele, foi graças àquela situação que ele despontou para o futebol no cenário internacional.  “Não posso dizer que houve queima de etapas, mas no momento do clube não tinha o que fazer. Era subir os meninos da base ou não teria jogador. Sou muito grato ao Cruzeiro, porque foi o primeiro clube que me abriu as portas para jogar no profissional. Acho que tinha que acontecer dessa forma, porque se o Cruzeiro não tivesse caído, talvez, eu não teria a oportunidade de jogar no profissional”, disse.

00:00 Here in Brazil, do you feel that the biggest patience of the coaches was missing?

00:04 I'm here in Europe, have you seen this difference?

00:06 Do you think Brazil still needs to have this care in the professional transition?

00:14 I don't say the coaches, I say the fans.

00:20 Because the fans have a big influence in the clubs.

00:24 So from the moment an athlete goes up in the professional base,

00:29 the fans don't understand that it's a process,

00:34 whether they like it or not, more than the player's head.

00:37 Because the player is not used to it, as it happened to me,

00:41 as it happened to several other athletes.

00:44 How much they went up or how much they get, under enormous pressure.

00:48 In Brazil, in fact, in world football, there is pressure.

00:53 But the difference in Brazil is that the people don't have patience.

00:56 They want immediate results. And in football, there is no immediate result.

01:00 In football, it's a process.

01:03 It's one day after the other, it's work, it's adaptation.

01:09 Because everyone looks at the athlete and says "you earn millions".

01:12 But you earn millions because the guy deserves to earn millions.

01:15 So it's all a process, it's all an adaptation, it's all a style.

01:18 There are even athletes who won't be able to adapt to a club.

01:23 How can there be players who will go up from the professional base

01:26 who won't be able to adapt to the team?

01:28 This is normal. This is the process of football.

01:31 This is the grace of football.

01:33 So I think that in Brazil people could have more empathy,

01:39 to understand that it's a process for young boys who are going up.

01:45 It's necessary to have patience, which is what we don't have.

01:49 So I think that's basically it.

01:54 Thiago, this would be our next topic,

01:58 going more into the Cruzeiro.

02:02 You said, as you highlighted, the patience of the fans.

02:06 You were launched in the middle of a very turbulent moment for Cruzeiro,

02:09 which was the first year of Cruzeiro in the B-Series, in 2020.

02:13 Many fans, as you said, had no patience with these young players.

02:16 The coaches who went through Cruzeiro launched many young players on the team,

02:20 took risks, bet on them, and the fans were impatient.

02:24 The result sometimes didn't come quickly,

02:26 as you said, a process and everything.

02:29 Do you think this was the right time to launch these young players,

02:32 including you, or was there a "stage burn", so to speak?

02:38 So, man, I can't say it was a "stage burn",

02:43 but I think that at the time of the club, there was nothing to do.

02:48 You know?

02:50 At the time Cruzeiro was going through,

02:52 it was either to launch the young players or not to have a player.

02:55 You know?

02:56 So, I'm very grateful to Cruzeiro.

03:00 I would be eternally grateful, because it was a great club that opened the door for me,

03:04 and gave me the first opportunity to play in the professional.

03:07 And, man, I think it had to happen.

03:12 You know? It had to happen that way.

03:14 It had to be that way, because maybe if Cruzeiro hadn't fallen,

03:20 maybe I wouldn't have had the opportunity to play in the professional.

03:23 I might not have had the opportunity to represent Cruzeiro's jersey in the professional.

03:29 So, maybe that was...

03:33 It was meant to be, you know?

03:35 That way, that way, the way it was.

03:38 So...

03:40 I don't think it burned the stage.

03:42 I think it was necessary, you know?

03:45 Both me and the other athletes who passed, I think it was necessary.
