Fluminense fans fume at Flamengo date switch in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Why didn’t Fluminense fans like the change of date for the match?

Fluminense accepted Flamengo’s request to move the Rio derby from Saturday (11) to Sunday (12). However, Tricolor fans were outraged by the club’s stance on social media.

That is because, in the fans’ view, Fluminense was submissive to Flamengo by accepting the conditions proposed by the red-and-black club. In other words, according to Tricolor supporters, the derby should have remained on Saturday (11) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

What was Fluminense’s official statement?

Fluminense posted an official statement on social media to explain why it accepted Flamengo’s request. According to the Laranjeiras club, the squad would also have a little more time to prepare for the Rio derby.

“Due to the delay in Flamengo’s flight, Fluminense was consulted about changing the match from Saturday to Sunday.

After considering the rest time and the schedule for the upcoming rounds, Fluminense agreed to the request, as the delegation boarded at 1:40 a.m. in Venezuela and arrived in Rio at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, and would have had two training days for Fla x Flu.

With the change, Fluminense will have three days of preparation, and the next match, in the Copa Libertadores, will take place in Rio de Janeiro next Wednesday.”
