This Friday (6th), journalist Diogo Dantas from the newspaper O Globo revealed some plans that the CBF has for the Brasileirão.

But there was more! 

The entity that governs national football and the National Team intends to discuss with the clubs the reduction of the number of participants in the Brasileirão from 20 to 18.

In this way, a championship with 18 clubs and three relegated teams, with two directly and one "play-off" between the third-to-last of Série A and the third-placed of Série B, would make the Brasileirão have a model very similar to that used in Germany, with the Bundesliga.
