The Azeri brazilianization process, the great italian example spreading around Europe!
It's not the first time that Azeri futsal features brazilian players in their national team, but now the process is definitely increasing, especially since the arrival of Alecio on the Azeri bench. Don't think about a mistake then if you find a well known name, who already played for Brazil as well, in the official roster which is currently taking part in the Baku International tournament: we're talking about the "giant" pivot Serjao, first cap since his arrival in the country in order to wear the Araz Naxcivan shirt. Same process for another known athlete like Biro Jade, with Renè (former Joinville) and Ricardinho to join the team as well. What's happening to European futsal? Why the italian grotesque example is followed rather than denied? What's the future of continental futsal if this process goes on? Questions without answers, with the exception of the last one, that can count on sure one...
