"Marco Polo del Nero is to lead
the CBF for the next four years. Do you think this man is capable of
overseeing change? I am sure he isn't," said Romario.
Del
Nero will take over next year from Jose Maria Marin, but Romario thinks
he is more of the same at the age of 73 -- even if he is a decade
younger than the incumbent.
"This
obscure and clandestine election needs to be annulled," said Romario of
last year's naming of De Nero as the new man in charge.
"Brazilian
football doesn't deserve to be run by a gang which already showed
itself incompetent ... which rakes in money and does with it as it sees
fit but not for the good of our football."
And
he warned without a CBF overhaul Brazil risked "a worse humiliation
than the massacre at the Mineirao," the Belo Horizonte stadium where
Brazil fell to the Germans.
