00:00Talking about this generation of Cruzeiro players, we get a little... not sad,
00:06Because it was a moment that marked Cruzeiro's downfall.
00:10I say that it was a moment that perhaps if that situation hadn't happened...
00:14from the time Cruzeiro was relegated to the second division,
00:17Then a management board came in, and it's impossible for that to happen...
00:20He had many political problems, but perhaps if he hadn't had that situation,
00:25More players would have stayed longer, much to the delight of Cruzeiro fans.
00:29I remember that afterwards Ederson left, and Maurício left early.
00:34Jadson himself later went to Desportivo Brasil.
00:36Many players could have stayed longer at Cruzeiro.
00:40to provide both technical and financial returns,
00:43both that generation and Estevão himself, who was from the younger age group.
00:48I remember when I saw Estevão playing, there's even a funny story about us playing in a final.
00:52Speaking of Estevão, in the final of the Brazilian Under-20 Cup.
00:55We beat Palmeiras 4-3, it was a very nice game.
00:59But then we lost on penalties.
01:01I remember the next day, we went to give training,
01:03Then Estevão, who was 13 years old, came up to me like this,
01:06Hey professor, congratulations, the team played for a long time!
01:09And a child, and then it became what it became.
01:12So, Cruzeiro really is a breeding ground for talent.
01:16Cruzeiro is really able to attract a lot of athletes.
01:19So it's good that they got along well there.
01:22And who knows, maybe now with Pedrinho's management...
01:25who does an excellent job,
01:27there with Dilson Batista,
01:29Célio Luz, all the professionals at Cruzeiro,
01:31Cruzeiro recently won the Copinha (São Paulo Junior Cup).
01:34Mario is doing an excellent job with the Under-20s.
01:38So I'll stay here at a distance.
01:40I was there, I spent 13 years working in the youth system of Minas Gerais football.
01:4411 at Atlético, 2 at Cruzeiro.
01:46Cruzeiro was a very significant experience for me.
01:47because I worked with these athletes,
01:49So we're very happy to see them now.
01:53being successful professionally,
01:55And I'm glad that in some way I was able to contribute there.
01:58in the training of these athletes.
