The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) denied, this afternoon (24), Flamengo’s request and kept the match between the red and black team and Palmeiras, for the Brazilian Championship, for this Sunday, at 4:00 p.m., at the Allianz Parque. .
In its response, the CBF argued to Flamengo that the club could summon six to seven players – from the grassroots categories and who have already been asked to train due to the covid outbreak – and have a reasonable number for use in the match. .
The date of the confrontation is kept after a request from Rubro-Negro for the postponement due to an outbreak of Covid-19 in the squad. In total, 16 players were infected.
“We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated September 22, 2020, which deserves our careful analysis.
We understand the reason and reasons for your request to postpone the match to be played next Sunday, against the Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, but unfortunately we inform that it will not be possible to attend it.
This is due to the fact that the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo has 34 athletes registered for the competition, being able to register another 6, under the terms of the respective Regulations, so that, even with the positive result from their athletes for SARS-CoV-2, the Club has enough staff for the game to take place. We emphasize that other cases similar to this one were also dismissed.
Confident that this is the most appropriate and isonomic measure to adopt in relation to the matter and making ourselves available for the clarifications that are necessary, we subscribe “
It should be remembered that the Gávea club called the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) with a request for emergency relief requesting the change. The entity also applied to CBF for a position, indicating a period of 24 hours.
The information regarding the CBF decision was first published by “ge” and confirmed by sports.
Given the high number of cases detected in recent days, Fla said that the change would be a matter of “public health” and was even optimistic about the success of the agenda, but was not successful.
Palmeiras, for his part, has always been against the alteration of the match day, arguing that the protocol for the return of CBF competitions has guidelines that foresee possible embezzlements due to coronavirus. The players also felt safe to perform on Sunday.
CBF’s first position had been to confirm the exit for the weekend, but there was a reassessment after the increase in the number of cases, fourth (23). However, the entity ended up understanding that the best way out would be for the game to occur as originally scheduled.
The high number of infections in Flamengo occurred during the squad’s trip to Ecuador, where there were matches with Independiente del Valle, on the 17th, and Barcelona de Guayaquil, last Tuesday, both for the Libertadores.
Bruno Henrique, Diego, Filipe Luís, Isla, Matheuzinho, Vitinho, Michael tested positive over the weekend and were withdrawn from the game on Tuesday (22). Everton Ribeiro, Rodrigo Caio, Léo Pereira, William Arão, Renê, Gustavo Henrique, Thuler, Gabriel Batista and João Gomes were detected with covid-19 after an examination last Wednesday (23).
In addition to the athletes, the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, the vice president of football Marcos Braz, the coach of the team Domènec Torrent, the technical assistant Juan, the doctor Marcio Tannure, the vice president of external relations, Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap), the member of the soccer board of directors Dekko Roisman and at least five other members of the red-black team are also with covid-19.
