Boto on Flamengo delay row, jabs Palmeiras: “Professional moaners” | OneFootball

There is a lot of confusion, and I’ve heard a lot about something that should be normal. If there are clubs we are used to seeing that are whiners, who cry about everything, professional complainers, there are others that I was quite surprised to see speaking about something that has nothing to do with them. It was a difficult trip (from Cusco to Rio de Janeiro), just as Fluminense’s was. For the good of the spectacle and the players’ health, there was an agreement between the clubs to play the match today. I’m sure the game we will see today will be better than the one we would have seen yesterday. The players have one more day of rest, and it’s not just Flamengo’s players. Fluminense’s players do too. It is obvious that if Fluminense’s coach did not think it would be better, and every coach wants more training days and more time for his players to rest, he would not have accepted it. It is something that is good for the spectacle, good for Brazilian football. People talk so much about a league, which should be something to protect the product, and then seeing clubs criticize a decision that protects the players’ health and the product causes a lot of confusion in choosing this path,” Boto said in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.

We express our dissatisfaction with the CBF’s decision to grant Flamengo’s request to reschedule the match against Fluminense from today (11) to tomorrow (12). It is not our place to judge the merits of the request; however, it is necessary to question why only one club has its request granted, while other teams have had similar requests systematically rejected by the entity. In a calendar that is admittedly challenging, all clubs face logistical difficulties — including Palmeiras — and, therefore, it is essential that there be impartiality and transparency in decisions that may impact the championship,” the club said.
