The president of Palmeiras, Mauricio Galiotte, said that the Brasileirão will have to paralyze when talking about the decision of the Regional Labor Court of Rio de Janeiro to postpone the match against Flamengo, which was scheduled for tomorrow (27), in Allianz Parque.
“If it is determined that the protocol determined for the Brazilian Championship will not be fulfilled, it is necessary to stop the competition,” the alviverde club published on Twitter in a note signed by Galiotte.
In total, Flamengo has 19 players infected with the coronavirus, as well as members of the coaching staff, football department and coaches. The contagion outbreak occurred during the delegation’s visit to Ecuador, where coach Domènec Torrent’s team faced Independiente del Valle, on the 17th, and Barcelona de Guayaquil, last Tuesday, for the Libertadores.
Given the high number of employees with positive tests and the imminence of the match being held, the Sindeclubes – Union of Employees of Clubs, Federations and Sports Confederations and Professional Athletes of the State of Rio de Janeiro – triggered, yesterday (25), the Court Regional Labor Office. The TRT-RJ understood that the confrontation would have “a high risk of contagion” and gave a positive signal to the election.
Palmeiras, for his part, has always been against changing the date of the confrontation, “buying the fight” by maintaining the original match and even counting on the participation of his players in the backstage articulation. Verdão did not even consider changing the schedule after the draw with Guaraní (PAR), on Wednesday (23), for Libertadores. After receiving the day before yesterday (24), the athletes appeared again yesterday.
Following the ruling of the Court, the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) is now trying to reverse the decision. While the fight is being fought in the courts, Flamengo, just in case, embarked for São Paulo.
