Former Flamengo vice president of football, Marcos Braz, said he would not agree to postpone a derby against Fluminense if he were on the Tricolor side. The statement was made during an appearance on the Charla Podcast.

— Zero chance, man. Zero chance. Let’s move on to the next topic… No way I’d postpone the match, I’d actually want to move it even closer — he said.

The executive also joked about the situation by mentioning Flamengo’s current president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista.

— If it were Bap, he’d want to move the match up by two days (laughs) — he added.

The statement comes after the postponement of the derby between Fluminense and Flamengo, a decision that sparked outrage among a large part of the Tricolor fanbase.
