Jogadores de futebol no Brasil: mercado, formação de atletas e escola

The aim of this study is to discuss the relationship between professional soccer and education in Brazil. In the last six years, this country exported abroad a total of 6.648 soccer players. Among these players, 3.593 (or 54%) went to Europe. We believe that we are dealing with an agency that recruits young male, generally from the lowest social strata, to play in internal or external soccer market. Besides, it configures a kind of business that supports an industry of professional formation, that may be in competition against basic schooling of these young athletes which dream about being professional soccer players. Keywords : soccer, education, formation of young players, school.

REPRESENTAÇÕES IDENTITÁRIAS NO PROCESSO DE SELEÇÃO DE TALENTOS

It uses as instrument half structured interviews, applied to coaches and coordinators of U-15, U-17 and U-20 categories, and technical observers in seven clubs of Brazilian soccer First Division. It concludes that the identitary discourse on the proclaimed ideal of Brazilian soccer, the art soccer, does not guide the actions of the involved professionals in the talent selection and training process. Nevertheless, this discourse may present symbolic effectiveness in the player’s commercialization process.

BATALHA DE BERNA (1954): A LUTA PELOS SENTIDOS DE IDENTIDADE NO CAMPO DE FUTEBOL

The article aims at identifying, describing and analyzing different strategies of Brazilian press to narrate the dispute between Brazil and Hungary in the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland. The analysis of articles published in newspapers O Globo and Folha de S. Paulo reveals the presence of a discussion about national character, the belief in the superiority of the “natural” characteristics of Brazilian football in comparison with Europeans’ “spirit of organization” and the Hungarian victory as a result of a European collusion. The study concludes that the press reverses the hierarchy between nature and culture, stereotyping identifications in a context of unbalanced power relations.
