The president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Ricardo Teixeira, informed that his National squad towards Beijing 2008 will stay with the rest of the athletes.
The director warned that the Brazilian squad which will compete at Beijing Olympic Games 2008 will stay in the Olympic Villa and will have to accept the same treatment granted to any other athlete, without the privileges of previous editions.
"The players will have the same treatment athletes of other fields are offered," the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Ricardo Teixeira, sentenced, on an interview published by O Globo.
"I've already tried some other ways (offering privileges and special treatment) and it didn't work. In Atlanta 1996 we had the best squad, the delegation stayed in the best hotels, we spent 5 million dollars, and we lost," Teixeira added.
Capturing the Gold medal, the only relevant trophy missing from the Brazilian soccer record, has turned into an obsession, among other, for Teixeira himself.
