The controversial comparison by Thiago Galhardo

With a “sharp tongue,” Galhardo stated that Vasco and Santa Cruz are similar giants suffering from “poor management.”

“There's always a court jester wanting to be king”, the athlete remarked, drawing a direct analogy between the leaders.

He was specific when recalling his time at São Januário:

Future and postponed retirement

In addition to the criticism, Galhardo revealed that he postponed his retirement. The initial plan was to stop after the promotion with Santa Cruz, but a request from his son made him extend his career until 2027.

The player, who indirectly terminated his contract with the Pernambuco club due to lack of payments, stated that he will only accept proposals that “move” him. The ge reached out to Campello for comments on the statements, but the former CRVG president did not respond.
