Sport has no objectives in the final stretch of the Brasileirão, as they are practically relegated. However, the 1987 Série B Brazilian champion dreams of complicating the life of Flamengo this Saturday (01), in the 31st round. To this end, the management of the Pernambuco club even paid overdue salaries to motivate the team.
Last Friday (31), Sport paid the wages related to the employment contracts. However, they still need to settle the image rights payments for the players and the technical staff. It is worth noting that the club paid the money for the month of September, which should have been paid on October 5th.
In summary, Sport still owes the October employment contract salary and the image rights for September and October. According to the club, everything must be settled by the first half of November. Additionally, according to the Pernambuco team, the delay occurred due to an unforeseen issue in the 'cash flow'.
— It was already known that at the end of the year we would have this cash flow mismatch, yes. But it doesn't mean we don't have money. It just needs to be available on the correct dates. This is a cash flow mismatch — explained Sport's general director of football, Enrico Ambrogini.
Due to the controversy involving the 1987 Brasileirão, which has Flamengo as the champion, Sport treats Mengão as a rival. Therefore, the management gave this 'extra motivation' to the team. However, no amount of money will make the team leave the second division.
Flamengo and Sport are broadcast on SporTV, a subscription channel, as well as on Premiere, via pay-per-view. However, the best and most Flamengo-centric coverage is from Coluna do Fla, on the website, social media, and YouTube. Therefore, stay tuned to our pages.
