Simon Lédo: the refusal of the repentant dog | OneFootball

Gerson had it all at Flamengo: a good salary, idol status, and a spot as a starter. But he decided to leave all that behind so his father could earn a sales commission and he could make more money at Zenit. His right. Choice made.

However, it only took six months for “homesickness” to hit. The football cooled off, the project didn’t excite him, and suddenly, Flamengo became the dream again. But football, when managed professionally, also teaches a simple lesson: decisions have consequences.

Gerson tried to come back. And he was ignored. There was no soap opera, no effort, no internal debate.

The player was left to look for another path. And then came Cruzeiro, one of the few Brazilian clubs with the financial power (behind the scenes) to afford the signing. Sportingly, however, the gap is huge. While Flamengo stacks up titles, Cruzeiro recently spent 3 years in Serie B.

Cruzeiro will celebrate. Rightly so, as he is a good player. But let it be clear: he only went there because Flamengo didn’t want him!

Therefore, Flamengo fans, there’s no need to despair: the one who lost was Gerson, who will now have to work hard to try to get back to the level of relevance he once had.
