Even after criticism, Petraglia, president of Athletico-PR, again generated controversy by talking again about Santos and comparing the situation of the two clubs
On Thursday night, the 30th, the Atletico-PR published on its official website an open letter written by Mario Celso Petraglia, team president. After generating great controversy in a statement attacking major clubs in Brazil and making a point of extolling the greatness of the Hurricane, the top hat once again reinforced his point.
In a statement during the presentation of Fernandinho, the president of Athetico-PR didn’t spare any of the big clubs from their criticism. Claiming that saints,Sao Paulo and Corinthians would be “broken”, that the palm trees is managed by patrons and even more, Petraglia claimed that no project is bigger than Hurricane’s.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
In his letter, Petraglia highlighted that his speech was interpreted with disrespect to the aforementioned Brazilian clubs, but that it was actually made as a motivation to build a new story every day. Using a metaphor, the top hat revealed that this ‘new story’ can only happen with the ‘reconstruction of our ‘pool’, gnawed by years of corruption and disintegration.
“Out of respect for Brazilian football, and for everything we built in Hurricane and which serves as a model for many clubs in Brazil and in the world, I cannot leave sincerity aside. In this case, I think that, more than an insult, it was a contribution. Let the future be discussed, let inconvenient truths be told, let everyone take the rats out of their pools. May we have the ability to unite for the good of football as a whole, which is taken over by violence, clubism and sectarianism. May the disputes be only in the fields and may everyone have a voice. Finally, that we think about the future for a strong Brazilian football“, he wrote.
TALK ABOUT SANTOS
After that, Petraglia spoke about Santos again. Being heavily attacked by fans and criticized by commentators after the speech, the president preached respect to the Baixada Santista team and revealed that the team has one of the most beautiful stories in world football, but highlighted that “Pelé doesn’t play anymore”.
“Santos Futebol Clube has one of the most beautiful stories in world football. But Pele doesn’t play anymore. The Petraglia will also one day leave the scene, as the only certain truth is that one day we will no longer be here. At Athletico Paranaense, we have been building a very beautiful and victorious history, but designing the future at the same time, which takes a lot more work. This is the truth that makes the Hurricane fly higher and higher. And many are still learning to deal with it.“, opined.
