The State of field Service research- Technodyn

Johannesburg, South Africa,13 March 2023: Technodyn International, the exclusive strategic partner for global cloud enterprise software company IFS in Sub-Saharan Africa, has announced the results of a global research study by IFS highlighting the challenges facing field services companies. The results show immense pressure on field service organisations to meet SLAs, a lack of skilled workers, and a growing need to reach tech superiority.

The IFS State of Service 2023 report clearly shows that technology is a key differentiator within the field service market and has surprisingly overtaken customer experience as a number one priority. Breaking down the detail, the report shows that nearly half (46%) of respondents feel their companies struggle to meet service level agreements (SLAs), and 37% cite that legacy and outdated technology still presents challenges. "It's deceiving to think that the move from customer service to technology superiority is a litmus test for the whole industry. Instead, what can be assumed here is that there is a maturity amongst businesses that to improve customer experience, they need better technology systems," says Heman Kassan, Chief Operations officer, Technodyn International. "The trend points to the understanding that business needs to invest in the right digital technology or risk becoming obsolete." Other concerns highlighted by respondents include the lack of a skilled workforce (40%) and user adoption of new technology (37%). But this is not stopping progress, as the 2022 research shows that the use of AI has grown from 22% to 46% and reverse logistics from 25% to 54%. Interestingly, the use of Chatbots has increased from a mere 11% to 44%. According to IFS, the State of Service research also reveals that customer service remains a priority, with the highest ranking technologies for future adoption including Remote Assistance (44% of respondents planning to implement), Wearables (44%), Knowledge Management (42%), Simulations (41%), Scheduling Optimisation and Automation (40%), and Customer Self-service (36%). "In a world of limited resources, the industry is showing a clear need for technologies that facilitate better customer engagements and improve service delivery," says Queiroz.

Dig a Little Deeper

I was this tag game on Pinterest and decided to make it here. It consists of 49 fun questions.

Do you prefer writing with a black pen or a blue pen? When I’m studying, I like writing with blue pens because it’s scientifically proven that blue ink improves your memory. But when I’m writing notes or poems, I prefer to write it in black pen because I think my calligraphy is more beautiful that way. But I think I prefer writing with blue pens.

Would you prefer to live in the country or in the city? The city. To be honest, I would like to live in a beach city, but between the country or the city, I would live in the city.

If you could learn a new skill, what would it be? I would love to learn how to play the guitar and cook. 

Do you drink your tea/coffee with sugar? Yes, I drink tea with sugar and I don’t drink coffee.

What was your favorite book as a child? “Menina Bonita do Laço de Fita (Pretty Girl With The Ribbon Bow)” by Ana Maria Machado.

Do you prefer baths or showers? Showers. I’m more used to them.

If you could be a mythical creature, which one would you be? I’d be a mermaid, all the way.

Paper or electronic books? Paper books, of course. Electronic books are so lame. I’d rather touch a book, feel the pages turning... It’s so much more pleasing.

What is your favorite item of clothing? My Star Wars t-shirt, my Greta Van Fleet t-shirt, my flared jeans and my black Chelsea boots.

Do you like your name? Would you like to change it? Yes, I do and I wouldn’t change it. I would just like to have a middle name.

Who is a mentor to you? My mom, my dad and my sister.

Would you like to be famous? If so, what for? No. I’d rather be an anonymous person. I’d like to be known for my translation works, of course, but I wouldn’t like to be overly famous.

Are you a restless sleeper? Yes. I have anxiety, and when a problem arises or when I’m too much excited, I just can’t sleep. The last time I had a restless night was last week, for two reasons: I was going to sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” with a friend (She’s a little bit ill at the moment and we had to change the songs, I sang “We Are The Champions” and “Taro” and she sang “Don’t Rain on My Parade”) and I was waiting for Greta Van Fleet’s new album to come (Which unfortunately, that didn’t happen and I got really mad at myself for losing my sleep for something that didn’t happen). Now that I’m taking some natural meds, I’m sleeping a lot better.

Do you consider yourself to be a romantic person? Yes, I do, but I lost a little bit of that due to some emotional scars from my last relationship, which I’m trying to heal.

Which element best represents you? Fire.

Who do you want to be closer to? My friends.

Do you miss someone at the moment? I miss everybody! I miss my dad, my sister, my friends, even my annoying college teacher. 

Tell us about an early childhood memory. I had a toy bike which I used to ride around the house (Just like the intro from Bobby’s World), because the apartment where I used to live was pretty big. I also loved watching the trailer for Home Alone 3 because “Keep on Knockin’” by Little Richard played in it and the song got stuck in my head, but my English was pretty bad at the time, so I rode my toy bike around the house singing “Keep on Knockin’” in a broken English. Those were the days.

What is the strangest thing you have eaten? An octopus tentacle when I was younger. I can’t remember what it tasted like, though.

What are you most thankful for? Having a house to live.

Do you like spicy food? NOOOOOOOOOOO.

Have you ever met someone famous? The closest thing was Igor Cavalera’s ex-wife because her oldest son studied at the same college as I do. 

Do you keep a diary or journal? I used to keep some when I was a kid. I stopped keeping diaries when I was 12 and I think I’m too old for this sort of thing.

Do you prefer to use pen or pencil? Pens all the way.

What is your star sign? Scorpio.

Do you like your cereal crunchy or soggy? I’m craving cereal right now, but I don’t really know. I think I prefer it crunchy.

What would you want your legacy to be? People enjoying my translation work.

Do you like reading? What was the last book you read? Yes, I like reading and the last book I read was The City and The Mountains by Eça de Queiroz. I’m currently re-reading Mayombe by Pepetela and The Divine Comedy, but this book is soooooo boring...

How do you show someone you love them? Kisses, hugs, telling that I heard their favorite song, there’s so many ways.

Do you like ice in your drinks? Not that much.

What are you afraid of? Failing.

What is your favorite scent? A red fruits soap which is my favorite.

Do you address older people by their name or surname? I address them by their name.

If money was not a factor, how would you live your life? I don’t know.

Do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean? The ocean, because when I was a kid, I nearly drowned in a pool, but now I’ve overcame my fear of pools a bit. I just don’t swim on the deep part of the pool, I go on the shallow part.

What would you do if you found $50 in the ground? Depends on the context. If I found $50 on the ground but I know that someone has lost it, I give the money back to the person. If I don’t know whose money is that, I keep it to myself.

Have you ever seen a shooting star? Did you make a wish? No, I haven’t. It’s hard to see astronomical events where I live.

What is one thing you would want to teach your children? Study hard, but also have fun.

If you had to have a tattoo, what would it be and where would you get it? I don’t want to get a tattoo. I used to, but now I’ve changed my mind.

What can you hear now? My mom listening to her favorite newscast, the wind and a church bell that rings everytime it’s 12 noon (It also rings 6 PM) 

Where do you feel the safest? My room.

What is one thing you want to overcome/conquer? Good. Grades. But I managed to do that this year, so...

If you could travel back to any era, what would it be? The 80s or the 90s. The 80s because of the fashion and the music and the 90s because they would be a fun decade to live. The fashion was great, the movies were great too, and we used to hang out with our friends with no worries.

What is your most used emoji? 😊

Describe yourself using one word. Clever.

What do you regret the most? There are so many things that I regret, but I don’t like talking about them.

Last movie you saw? I think it was Dead Man, starring Johnny Depp.

Last TV show you watched? Into The Badlands. I’m currently watching it, though. I’m already at season three and Castor, the character that I was the most excited to see, has already appeared. He’s so cute! But the show overall is pretty good, I recommend it.

Invent a word and its meaning. Watchatcha, which means “stop it”.

So, in Brazilian sports news, the Bolsonaro administration has nominated the new sports secretary (the third since the start of the president's term, in 2019). He's Marcelo Magalhães.

Some background on the guy:

He has been PR manager for renowned Brazilian athletes like Bia and Branca Feres (synchronized swimming), Flávio Canto (judo), Isaquias Queiroz (canoeing) and Fabiana Beltrame (rowing).

He's childhood friends with Flávio Bolsonaro, senator and one of the president's sons, having even been his wedding's best man.

He was nominated chief of the Olympic Legacy Governance Office (EGLO), the authority responsible for managing the sports facilities for the 2016 Olympics. His nomination, which happened this month too, occurred amid a power struggle in the sports secretariat between military and non-military personnel within the portfolio.

He graduated in journalism, but he never practiced. His professional area ended up becoming the sports market, working mainly on fundraising.

He was nominated by Onyx Lorenzoni, who had taken place as the minister of citizenship after being replaced as minister of civil house.

tw: self-harm, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, drug addiction.

In the eyes of Adelaide Almeida, you will not find a girl. You will not find what strangers see when they pass her by the crowd. You will look into a bottomless void that threatens to swallow you whole and it will look back at you with smiling teeth. Little Addie, once a girl with pink tutu’s and ballerina shoes, was never a girl to be meddled with - she would captivate all her teachers and classmates with rosy cheeks and a clever tongue beyond her years, but there was nothing warm or kind about the little girl whose parents held so close she nearly choked to death.

You’d assume being the youngest sibling meant competing for attention - but she never competed. She never even considered a competition. She won, plain and simple - she was the apple of her father’s eye, and that was everything that held any value to her. Her sister, her mother, they were pawns in a game of kings, and she could never see them from her high seat on the throne. Adelaide didn’t lose, because she tailored the game to her whims and batted her heavy set of lashes to make it seem fair. And if she did lose - the game be damned; she’d destroy it and any evidence of her failure with the wrath of a woman scorned. She didn’t want to be a sister, or a daughter. She wanted to be King. That’s all it ever mattered to her, even since she was old enough so that the mere praise of her father no longer fulfilled her.

As the sisters grew older, Adelaide’s behavior as well as their parent’s favoritism only blurred the lines between love and hate further – their relationship, strained as it was, existed only as a commodity in a household that was crumbling from the inside out. They were polar opposites, the sun and the moon. One running away to be free of her family’s clutches and the other walking straight into the claws of their blood legacy.

But after her sister left, there was only silence. The secrets grew deafening, and whatever shambles of a family remained dissipated. She was left to wonder just who is Adelaide Almeida? The reincarnation of the Virgin Mary to some, the dutiful daughter to her family, the airhead, spoiled heir to others. She is a terror to those who know her too well, and a beautiful, well-educated woman for those who kept a safe distance. What she is, what she truly is, is a game of smoking mirrors - a fragmented girl, scattered into so many pieces to cater to the whims of crowds, that now, when she looks into a mirror, the image that reflects back is something almost foreign; distorted. A beautiful deadly devil of beady brown eyes that didn’t shed a single genuine tear at her father’s funeral, but with knuckles bruised by the wrath that shattered all the mirrors in that lavish house. Lips that didn’t tremble at the loss when the coffin sunk into the dirt soil, but that screamed so loud, all the help scurried away like cockroaches exposed to the light, that very same night.

Just like that, the days of being a daughter and heir to the empire were gone – a stranger called the shots, and she was left to the sidelines, clutching her fists so tight blood trickled down her knuckles while she nodded along. And while her dad’s body rotted away in the dirt, so did whatever happy memories of her childhood she still cherished. Now, with the ugly family secret finally out of the closet, Adelaide confirmed what she’d always known was true: she had no real sister. The girl who slept by her side all those years was nothing but a stranger, a mistake born out of her mother’s weakness and infidelity. And the man who now sat at the head of the table was nothing but a liar and a thief, who’d never let her climb any higher than his precious daughter. The return of her sister left her not with a reason to celebrate, but the bitter aftertaste of betrayal in her mouth.

Suddenly the tables had turned, and all her scheming and all her plans had all been for nothing – she was alone, and there was not a single thing she could do to fix things. She was cast into the shadows and the control she’d struggled throughout the years to gain was ripped off her greedy little fingers like some dirty old baby blanket.

Divided attention had never been Addie’s favorite game – but she was forced to endure it. Growing up, and now, again, with the woman who raised her undermining her efforts and loyalty to put a runway bastard on the pedestal. Old habits returned like a ghost from the past, fueled by her own securities and doubts coming afloat: the drugs, the alcohol, the eating disorders and self-harm. All this fire and loneliness that consumed her while she couldn’t allow for the porcelain of her mask to crack. All this deep-rooted self-hatred blossoming under a pretty face, veiled in a façade of conformity.

And all the harder she tries to cling to this misguided of control, the deeper she dives into that well. But Adelaide doesn’t lose. And if she’s losing, then she’ll change the game.

Parents often say kids will “grow out of it”. Their fits of rage, their apathy towards other children, their unwillingness to share, their manipulative, spoiled ways of getting what they want- but Adelaide never did. Somewhere inside still that little girl who’d rather break her toys in half than to share it with other kids. Who’d bump into other little girls at school, and tell the nurse they tripped atop the stairs and stumbled down. Who’d rather destroy what she can’t have. The little girl who’ll sit in an empty throne all alone, because she desperately wants to be King, she built it with the bones of the people she loved. Because that fancy crown and the sound of backs cracking was supposed to fill that void in her chest; At least, that’s what she’d always been told. And nothing else ever did, so the possibility nothing ever will is too scary to contemplate.

Repertrio of the São Paulo sambista Geraldo Movie celebrated on CD

On the disc, tracks by Geraldo Filme's songbook and poems that narrate the artist's history (photo: Sesc Stamp / Divulgao)

In 2020, 25 years of the death of the samba player Geraldo Souza film. Over the 67 years of his life, the singer-songwriter insisted on being a symbol of resistance, be it for samba from São Paulo – often denied by Rio – or for the black movement. All of this through music. This legacy, sometimes forgotten, gained new memory with the release of the album Tio G – Geraldo's samba paulista film, produced by Sesc Stamp with the idealization of Fernando Cardoso.

“Uncle G a dream that was born from an unexpected encounter and a real enchantment: when the singer Fabiana Cozza took the stage of the Sesc Santana theater and performed some sambas by Geraldo Filme, I can say that what I felt was love ‘first heard’. Shortly thereafter I produced a series of shows called Palavra de paulista and invited singer Virgnia Rosa to a presentation entirely dedicated to him. As I researched the repertoire and the life of the composer, the curiosity of those who, until then, only knew his work superficially was transformed into respect and admiration ”, explains Fernando Cardoso in the insert of the physical disc about what motivated him to create the album.

With the idea in mind, he invited 20 Brazilian singers from different generations, some linked to samba, others from other rhythms, to revisit the samba musician's repertoire: Graa Braga (What people this), Leci Brando (I will show), Cleide Queiroz (Thebes), Amanda Maria (So Paulo big boy), Eliana Pittman (Samba da Barra Funda / last samba player / Lava-ps), Teresa Cristina (Poor kid), urea Martins (Red carnation), Rosa Maria Colin (Friend), Ellen Olria (The luxury of the city), Xnia Frana (Anncio), Maria Alcina (Baiano capoeira), Graa Cunha (History of Capoeira), Clarian (Pirapora traditions and parties), Sandra de S (Tradio (Go to the Bladder to see), Paula Lima (V take care of your life), Lady Zu (Swing), Alade Costa (Silence in the Bladder), Fabiana Cozza (The death of Chico Preto), Virginia Rosa (Batuque de Pirapora) and Luciah Helena (Reincarnation).

Seleo

“I was very happy that they remembered me at the time of the selection. The music director commented that as soon as they heard the arrangement of The Luxury of the City, they thought of me. It has a footprint that plays a little with soul music, which has a lot to do with my trajectory and my musical identity ”, says Ellen Olria in an interview with post office. Brasiliense was responsible for revisiting one of the romantic songs in the repertoire of Geraldo Filme, who also became better known for the lyrics that valued black and samba in São Paulo.

The Brazilian Ellen Olria was one of the artists chosen to revisit the repertoire of Geraldo Filme on a commemorative disc (photo: Melanina / Divulgao)

“The work of Geraldo and all the women in the project show this: black culture. We are all in this context, which is something that celebrates our existence and our identity. My work has always been heavily influenced by afro, ”says the singer about the similarities between her and the other singers with the samba singer.

Merging the 20 tracks are six texts narrated by Alton Graa, Sidney Santiago Kuanza and Joo Acaiabe, which tell the little-known story of Geraldo Filme. “I really believe that music has the power to pass through time, to deconstruct and dilute borders. I think Geraldo is closer to this universe, to a racial and ethnic cultural identity. He was singing and tells a story of a people, in such a potent way. I think he made an archive of our country, ”adds Ellen.

Tio G – Geraldo's samba paulista film

Various artists. Sesc stamp, 26 songs. Available on digital platforms.

Check excerpts from sambas by Geraldo Filme

What people this

“The black song, sir / the black people, sir the freedom, sir / What people are standing on the floor / Who has their form of expression in the corner / He sang his sad lament on the crossing / To alleviate so much pain and suffering / What beautiful corner on the plantation ”

Thebes

“Thebes, black slave / Profession masonry / Built the old S / In exchange for the letter of freedom / Thirty thousand ducats that Father Justino gave him / He made his dream come true / The old S emerged / That today marks the city zero / Exalt in sing of my people / their legend, their past, their present / Praa that was born from the ideal / And a slave slave ”

Poor kid

“Poor kid / S can study at a samba school / Or stay on the streets, thrown in the air / Begging the kindness of men / Waiting for the justice of the ass / His pencil his drumstick / Who beats his tambourine / No one looks at this poor guy / Lord what will be your end? ”

V take care of your life

“Creole singing samba / It was ugly stuff / This nigger bum / Throws him in jail / Today the white man samba / I want to see how it goes / Everyone claps his hands / When he plays the cuca”

'We were very close' - Wenger feels signing Ronaldo would have changed Arsenal's history

Ronaldo joined Man United from Sporting.

Ronaldo joined Man United from Sporting.

ARSENE WENGER BELIEVES his legacy at Arsenal would have been different had they successfully signed Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003.

The Gunners held talks with the Portugal star 14 years ago, only to miss out to Manchester United, who bought him from Sporting CP for a reported fee of £12million.

Ronaldo went on to inspire United to eight major trophies, including three Premier League titles and the 2007-08 Champions League, before joining Real Madrid for a then world-record fee of close to £80m.

Arsenal’s last league title came three months before Ronaldo moved to Old Trafford, and Wenger thinks they would have had much more success if he had been able to pair the forward with Thierry Henry.

“The obvious player [that we missed out on] that comes to mind is [Cristiano] Ronaldo,” Wenger, whose last game in charge finished in a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town last week, told Arsenal.com.

He was here with his mother and we were very close. Then Man United came in and they had Carlos Queiroz at the time, who was their coach. United played against Sporting Lisbon and Ronaldo was outstanding and they signed him.

“You could imagine at the time what it would have been like to have Thierry Henry and Ronaldo together. Later Man United had [Wayne] Rooney, Ronaldo and [Ruud] Van Nistelrooy together, they had an exceptional football team, and [Ryan] Giggs and [Paul] Scholes together. That would certainly have changed a little bit the history of my stay here as well.

“There is always something you could have done differently, but the problem of negotiations is to know when you give in and when you don’t give in. Once we were at £4.5million, we were still in negotiations. David [Dein] met with [Ronaldo’s agent Jorge] Mendes in Paris and he was representing Sporting, so we were very close. But Man United went to £12million, which we could not afford at the time.”

Ronaldo is part of a long list of players Wenger has claimed to have tried to sign, which also includes Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

The 68-year-old wanted to bring Messi and Gerard Pique to the club when Cesc Fabregas joined in 2003, although he admits they were always fighting a losing battle.

“The story of Cesc Fabregas is that Franny Cagigao and Steve Rowley brought the player here and we had to convince him,” he said. “I met Cesc’s parents and at the time we were interested in Messi and Pique as well.

We tried for the three but of course it didn’t work out, but we got a gem there in Cesc and he is an exceptional player. A brain for football.

“[It didn’t work out with Messi and Pique] because of the agents. I think it was linked with Nike at the time and they wanted Pique to go to Man United. With Messi, Barcelona didn’t want to lose him of course and they made [the offer] that was needed to keep the player at the club.

“I don’t really know if Messi was interested… I couldn’t get close to try to force the deal because Barcelona stopped that possibility very early.”

"Queiroz would marvel at Cristiano’s dedication to self-improvement. He remembers the days before the 2008 Champions League final, against Chelsea in Moscow, when Cristiano practiced free-kicks to acquaint himself with a new ball designated for the match. Queiroz studied the biomechanics of past greats to fine-tune the player’s technical approach. When they started practicing, the results were disastrous. The free-kicks flew high and wide, and two days went by without improvement. Finally, on day three, the ball started finding the net. “Air distribution in all balls is different and that one was a nightmare to work out, but the important thing is that Ronaldo never quit. Not after two whole days with no success,” [..] When he arrived, Cristiano’s game rested on technique and speed. His body was skinny, his musculature undeveloped. Dribbling was his predominant quality, his stepovers becoming the first of many personal on-pitch trademarks. He infuriated almost as much as he thrilled. With the ball, his end-product was inconsistent and his decision-making suspect, and there were accusations of overplaying and showboating. Without it, he could be indisciplined and unreliable. [..] There was less to criticise on the training ground. Cristiano’s professionalism reflected an unusual sense of determination. When the players hit the showers, he would slap weights on his ankles and practice stepovers. Roy Keane, renowned for his demanding nature, wrote in his 2014 biography The Second Half: “After the first few days, watching him play, watching him train, my reaction was: ‘This lad is going to be one of the world’s greatest players’… He was amazing. He was immediately one of the hardest-working players at United. Most of the players I knew worked hard, but Ronaldo had the talent on top of the work rate.” [..] “Ronaldo was a machine”. [..] the club’s gym culture was sound before the Portuguese arrived, led as it was by Keane, Ryan Giggs and Beckham, but that when Cristiano arrived, it hit another level. “He would do whatever training I prescribed and more,” Clegg told The Sun. “He lived and breathed football twenty-four seven and his dedication was phenomenal.” The two developed a close professional relationship and, if the coach was eager to teach, he had been gifted an exemplary student. Clegg told the BBC: “He had in his mind: ‘I need to make myself special, and I’m going to have to learn everything I need to become special. I’m going to have to regiment my day and my week, months and years, and become as good as I can be by every possible means.’ He had a plan.” [..] In this period there was something paradoxical about Cristiano. Ostensibly his primary weapon was the fleet-footed dribbling, which motivated so many youngsters to train on replicating his style. These solo runs wreaked havoc, yet they led to few goals for him personally. When he did find the net, it was owed to his sense of timing for running into the box. Starting from the wing, he would attack the back post for crosses, or sweep into the area for cut-backs. He was still a finesse player, but his off-the-ball movement was already in refinement. [..] The Sun published an image of his wink inside a dartboard frame, calling him a “Portuguese nancy boy”. The heckling was so bad that Ferguson had to travel to the Algarve to persuade him to return to Manchester. (The Scot initially sent an avalanche of text messages, then discovered he’d been using an old number.) [..] “He walked into the dressing room and I thought: ‘Jeez, what has happened to him over the summer?’,” Neville wrote in the Daily Mail. “When he had come to the club he was this thin, wiry boy. Now he was a light-heavyweight. He’d been on the weights over the summer and it was like watching someone grow up in a matter of weeks.” [..] Gone were the showboating and overplaying. His leap was greater and he seemed stronger, faster, even better built. His free-kicks started to fly inn with regularity. He could hit low drives with minimum backlift, or smack home long shots with a speed and swerve that sent goalkeepers into a brief state of paralysis. His instinct had also been altered. He still played out wide but, when taking on defenders inside the final third, he would no longer seek a cross; the aim now was to shoot. There seemed to have been a mental reframing process in which he redefined himself from a tricky winger to a ruthless goalscorer. [..] When he did leave Manchester, he was a titan of a footballer; an athlete befitting of the ancient Mount Olympus. Everything he had become, he had built himself. [..] Cristiano had hired his own chef to make sure he had the right diet. He had bought a house with a custom-built swimming pool to aid muscular recovery. Clegg recalled that, after training with the squad, Cristiano would come back into the gym and do power work for his legs. He would then go home, eat, swim, sleep and come back for repetitions the next morning. So it went for six years. “We did speed, power and reaction work, everything he needed and worked with on the pitch,” [..] Forsaking his solo runs, Cristiano became more of a finisher: less flashy, less demonstrative; more direct, ruthless, efficient. Fewer touches, more goals. Under Pellegrini, team-mates had given him the ball and waited for magic to ensue. Mourinho constructed the team so that he be set up in ideal scenarios, be they one-on-one situations, far-post crosses or killer passes. Cristiano refined his acceleration, reflexes and sense of timing. He became the sharpest off-the-ball runner in the world, a master of headers and one-touch finishes. Mourinho’s system was built round him. [..] Cristiano thrived. In 2010/2011 he scored forty La Liga goals and fifty-three in all competitions; in 2011/2012 he hit forty-six league goals and sixty in total; in 2012/13 he struck thirty-four in the league and fifty-five in all. His productivity was stunning. An analysis of his finishes in 2011/12 reflected his evolution as a player: out of the thirty-two goals from open play—twelve penalties and two free-kicks being excluded—twenty were first-time finishes. The reason was clear. Mourinho had installed specific patterns designed to find him inside the box or in behind the defence. He no longer relied on his dribbling. He would score by the virtues of thinking faster, running quicker and jumping higher than any defender in La Liga. The notion that Cristiano’s best attributes are not technique-based feels odd, eleven years after that blistering Old Trafford debut. But it is true. His X-factors are of the mental and physical kind. [..] He reacts quicker than anyone, he is persistent, he is no longer vulnerable to distraction. Goals are scored on instinct. Off the pitch, his discipline is famous. Mourinho, despite falling out with him in their final season, called him “the most professional player I’ve ever met”. [..] This dedication has underpinned his psychical state. The athleticism he built at Manchester United has continued to improve, and he would not look out of place on an Olympic running track. [..] In 2011, Cristiano did tests in a laboratory at the University of Chichester, in England. There it emerged he could leap seventy-eight centimetres; seven centimetres higher than the average NBA player. [..] The statistical and historical comparisons between Cristiano and Messi often eclipse a fundamental disparity. While Messi’s game is based on having the ball, Cristiano’s is based on not having it. Judging by technical ability, Messi is a one-off, whose vision and intuition feel natural, almost inherent. His place is on the playground, ball in hand, driven by mere eagerness to play. He is a glorious representation of football in its purest form. Cristiano has less natural talent, but compensates with persistence, particularly through his commitment to self-improvement. If Messi’s abilities are natural, Cristiano’s have been built. If Messi is the artist, Cristiano is the machine. If Messi’s story is an ode to footballing genius, Cristiano’s is a tribute to the triumph of will. [..] Whatever he might say about trying to help the team, he is, by all evidence, driven by records and goals; the history books, his legacy, his standing among the best. His energy is drawn from a bottomless well of egocentricity. Not all players are like this. Take Thierry Henry, who, at his peak, always seemed more in love with the game itself than with personal achievement. Like his manager, Arsène Wenger, he craved the perfect football, often squaring to team-mates when clean on goal, and becoming incensed when others did not return the favour. He saw football as an art form. When time was running out and Arsenal held a comfortable lead, Henry would slow down the game in an almost arrogant way, caring little about whether he scored another goal. For Cristiano, the last goal of a 6-0 win is almost as meaningful as the first. His focus does not drop, hence his particular efficiency in the final fifteen minutes. [..] This insatiability has been at the core of Cristiano’s inexorable rise. It is his greatest asset. The hunger, the relentlessness, the dissatisfaction with everything.“

The Sleeping Giant

The Fundação Edson Queiroz in Fortaleza, Brazil-- home of the Airton Queiroz Collection: "fueled with resources and vision" THE FIRST EXHIBITION of the year that really struck an emotional chord was viewing Itaú Cultural São Paulo's permanent exhibition of 17th- and 18th-century maps and books, watercolors, and illustrations chronicling the Portuguese discovery and colonization of Rio de Janeiro. The installation delivers an emotional punch by tracing an historical arc reaching from the natural wonder encountered by Brazil's early European settlers -- the breathtaking 20-foot watercolor of Rio's harbor is but one gem -- to the nation's economic development created through the heart-wrenching savagery inflicted on enslaved Africans. It's a remarkable time capsule that left me hungry for more of the Brazil story. And that's when I recalled the much broader historical reach of the current exhibition "Airton Queiroz Collection" in Fortaleza, at the Espaço Edson Queiroz. The Fortaleza exhibition is drawn from the extensive collection of Brazilian businessman Airton Queiroz and gives a powerfully touching perspective of the sweep of Brazilian history from the Portuguese colonial period--the painstakingly detailed landscape paintings of Dutch painter Frans Post are a revelation in their almost cinematic sweep--up to the years between the 20th century's two world wars, when Brazil's independent artistic vision was first coming into focus. Numerous works among the collection's extensive holdings are of standout interest: poignant portraits by Candido Portinari, who is best known in the Northern Hemisphere for his epic War and Peace murals to be found at the United Nations; an in-depth selection of geometric abstractions of the 1950s and '60s, by such legendary figures as Lygia Clark, Mira Schendel, Iberê Camargo, Abraham Palatnik, Alfredo Volpi, and Hélio Oiticica; and several recent works by Beatriz Milhazes and Adriana Varejão that knowingly bring the collection full-circle, as they touch on earlier historical themes while centering on current concerns. Thrillingly, the harmony and parallels between the works of Frans Post and Adriana Varejão give a perspective about Brazil that I haven't seen elsewhere. From the Airton Queiroz Collection: at top, a Brazilian landscape by Franz Post (1612-1680); and a selection of works by Alfredo Volpi (1896-1988) It's always fascinating to meet someone who has been a passionate, life-long art collector and has fueled that love with resources and vision. Airton Queiroz began collecting as a young man, when he traded his first car for artworks by Antônio Bandeira. In those early days, his family's now colossal business empire was but a mere fraction of what it is today. Based in Fortaleza in Brazil's northeast, Grupo Edson Queiroz has grown to encompass more than 14,000 employees in sixteen companies, and is an integral part of the nation's business culture, listed in the ranks of Brazil's hundred largest companies. Through its subsidiaries and more than 35 constituent brands, Grupo Edson Queiroz is a diverse conglomerate operating in liquid petroleum gas distribution, mineral water and beverages, mining and real estate, farming and agro-industry, media communications, and education. This vast and successful enterprise represents an important side of the Brazilian personality, alongside the popular images of São Paulo's fast-talking city slickers and Rio de Janeiro's beach-focused samba sybarites: the much maligned, rough-and-tumble Nordestinos-- people of the country's northeast. (For American television audiences, think "Dallas.") Begun in 1951 by Airton Queiroz' entrepreneurial father Edson, who sold propane out of the back of a pick-up truck, Grupo Edson Queiroz today is recognized as a leading national asset. But achieving this has not been without tragedy. In 1982 Edson died in what was, at the time, the largest air disaster in Brazil's history. His wife Yolanda stepped up to company leadership along with two of her six children: Airton and his brother Edson Junior. At the time of Yolanda's death, last year, Wikipedia ranked her as the 23rd wealthiest individual in Brazil, with $3.6 billion. From the Airton Queiroz Collection: a bicho of Lygia Clark (1920-1988) What's fascinating about the Queiroz legacy is that it's more than an entrepreneurial success story. It's also a story of a family with a vision much larger than just business. It's also a legacy of philanthropy that cries out for exposure and for connections with audiences hungry for cultural insights. The Queiroz family has championed education, supporting the University of Fortaleza UNIFOR, which was founded by Edson in the mid-1970s and today embraces 25.000 students annually in undergraduate and graduate studies in business, law and medicine. Airton Queiroz and his family have also championed Brazilian culture not only with his formidable art collection, but with the Edson Queiroz Foundation, which supports exhibitions both at their museum on the UNIFOR campus and in sponsored exhibitions of high curatorial excellence in museums across the country, including shows of work by Adriana Varejão, Beatriz Milhazes, and Hélio Oiticica. And there is so much more that is possible, building on the unique resources of the Airton Queiroz Collection. Selections currently on view in Fortaleza, while powerful in scope, don't come close to telling the greater cultural story of Brazil that could be told if more of the Collection's works were on view and/or toured in exhibitions. The unique scope and depth of the collection cries out for more exhibition space and an international audience commensurate with the collection's riches. To a foreign visitor who regularly probes exhibitions on four continents for new cultural stories and insights, it's clear that works from the Queiroz collection would find a wide and rapt audience on the global level. This is a time of great evolution in the world, when people are attentive both to new cultural stories and to new insights into enduring stories. Whoever codifies the Brazilian legacy story viscerally for a pan-global audience will enhance the world's interest in and understanding of the Brazil of today. One hopes that now, when so many North American European museums are looking more closely at Latin American art of all periods and places, that the Airton Queiroz Collection, like a sleeping giant, will awaken to its full power. Below, the Queiroz family celebrates Airton's first birthday, 1948
