Flamengo to Break Good Relationship with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF)

The climate behind the scenes between Flamengo and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) remains tense after the changes made to the national football calendar. As a result, the red and black team is preparing an official note to break the relationship with the entity.

According to journalist Diogo Dantas, Flamengo's stance will be released on the night of this Monday (25) and will be a kind of "declaration of war" against CBF. Thus, the Rio de Janeiro club intends to abandon the more peaceful tone with which it dealt with controversial issues behind the scenes, including matters related to refereeing.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On Saturday (23), CBF announced that it had brought forward the last round of the Brazilian Championship, which was to be on December 21, to December 7. Thus, the semifinals and finals of the Copa do Brasil were transferred to December 10, 14, 17, and 21. There is still a possibility that the first leg of the 'final four' of the competition will be played on November 26.

WHAT DOES FLAMENGO QUESTION?

Flamengo has begun to question the availability of rest days to work, aiming at the sequence of the season. Before CBF's change, the red and black team would have five weeks free for training and internal activities. With the change, The Most Beloved now has only one.

"To change the time of a game, they claim very complicated compliance problems with the RGC [General Consumption Regulation]. But to change the rules of the game during the game, they can", said a Flamengo executive to the Coluna do Fla report.
