“Professionalism wants that!”

 Emirati football has been associated with Brazilian football being the pioneer in the football pyramid in the world. The Brazilians have played an important role in developing the game in the region, and making it a football pleasure that the audience enjoys. Brazil comes as one of the most important countries in the world in football schools, after it developed the way of playing to fun And victory, in order to have a sporting and psychological impact on all football followers in the world, who have come to prefer football over other sports, and a large part of the best in that is due to the "samba people".

Here in the Emirates, the influence of the Brazilian School was very clear, especially the coaches in clubs and national teams. Most of the Brazilians who worked here “transferred” our teams to a certain level of development, and introduced modern concepts of fun football, and no one can ignore or forget that influence, their role is clear, For example, but not limited to, the clubs that won the major soccer tournaments came mostly at the hands of Brazilian coaches, who left very clear imprints on Emirati football, and this is something we thank them for, as they have the credit for transferring their technical expertise in the game to us, and Brazilian football has a special place in Emirates, and in the countries of the region.

I say this after I was noticed by the news that Sharjah club had concluded a contract with a new Brazilian, bringing the number of Brazilian athletes in the club to 16, a number that represents the largest number of players and coaches of one country in one of our clubs in general, as the number of players reached 8 in various sports, In addition to technical personnel.

I am surprised that our meetings in front of the Latin American teams have remained limited, and do not exceed the number of fingers of one hand, despite the fact that the Latin school is brilliant, and we had to benefit from it more, and I think that the attention of the clubs is directed again to Latin America, especially the Brazilian school, that brings back memories of the visits of Santos and San Paolo, Brazil. In 1973 to the country, our relationship with Brazilian football has been going on since the 1970s, and the Brazilian coaching names have a special place in Emirati football with senior coaches, most notably Zagallo and Carlos Alberto, and we have the most beautiful memories with the duo.

Brazilian football offers talents every day that can be benefited from, but all my fear is that our clubs will compete against each other and kidnap players from each other, under the pretext of "professionalism I want that!", And God is behind the intention.
