One example is the change in the match between Atlético-MG and Palmeiras, which would have been the last commitment for the Minas Gerais team before the South American Cup final. The match was rescheduled for December 3, preventing the Minas team from fielding a reserve team against an opponent directly competing for the title.

In summary, according to the findings of Coluna do Fla, behind the scenes at Flamengo, the assessment is that the measure preserves the integrity of the championship and shows the entity's concern in ensuring that the Brasileirão ends with a good impression. This is important after a year marked by criticism of the competition's organization.

WHAT WAS THE MAIN CHANGE IN THE SCHEDULE THAT PLEASED FLAMENGO?

Atlético-MG vs. Palmeiras, which was scheduled for 11/19 (three days before the South American final), moved to 12/03. Meanwhile, the game with Vitória, which was set for December, was moved up to 11/19

AND FLAMENGO'S SCHEDULE AFTER THE ADJUSTMENTS?

Fluminense vs. Flamengo, on the 19th, 9:30 PM, Maracanã – 34th round Flamengo vs. Bragantino, on the 22nd, 9:30 PM, Maracanã – 35th round Atlético-MG vs. Flamengo, on the 25th, 9:30 PM, Arena MRV – 36th round

WHAT WAS THE OTHER POINT THAT CBF SHOWED CONCERN ABOUT?

In rounds 30, 31, 32, and 33, Flamengo always played before Palmeiras. In the 34th round, the difference will be just a few hours between the teams' matches. And in the 35th and 36th duels, both play at the same time.

AND FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

For the 32nd round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo faces São Paulo this Wednesday (05), at Vila Belmiro. On the other hand, Palmeiras hosts Santos on Thursday (06), at Allianz Parque. Both matches will be covered by Coluna do Fla, after all.
