“Flamengo went to the Brazilian Football Confederation, we had very good technical discussions. We evaluated all possible aspects related to the stoppage, the players vacation time, all the commitments made previously, and we saw the possibility of extending these dates until the 26th. This will only affect two teams, Copa do Braisl finalists Until the 19th of the First Division, the remaining 18 teams, which were not in the Copa do Brasil final, could take leave on the 19th, this would give them a month off and allow us to get A fairer calendar, which did not have major problems of breaking equality. This was agreed with the Common Frontier Force,” explained Landim.

“They ended up coming back and that causes deep resentment in us. He complained that if there was so much talk about equality, about the balance of competition, about evaluating national competitions, it was really unacceptable.”

“We talk a lot about isonomy, if there was a lot of discussion about the presence of the crowd in the stadium, it was a battle in which Flamengo was involved. If we say that the crowd can influence the outcome of the match, then imagine that you lose your key players as it always happens with some clubs, especially Flamengo” , said Landim.

He continued, “We called some players to play 12 matches, which affected at least 10 matches here, some of them even came back injured, and got 16 matches.”

“Flamengo is committed not only to its fans, but to Brazilian football, to invest to form a team that includes the best potential athletes. The natural thing is for these athletes to be selected to participate in their country’s selections. There is a rule that is followed all over the world, and unfortunately it is not followed here in Brazil, from the histories of FIFA, precisely so that there is equality in the tournaments, and that the tournaments are paralyzed,” in short Landim.

The Brazilian Confederation has retracted its decision to postpone matches for teams that include team members at the request of the athletes’ representatives from 19 Serie A clubs, with the exception of Flamengo, so as not to prejudice the players’ holidays.
