Palmeiras back calendar change, go against Flamengo’s stance | OneFootball

Palmeiras was against Flamengo's decision to argue the changes in the calendar

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced last Saturday (23), changes in the national football calendar, generating great repercussion, including negative from Flamengo. Already on this Sunday (24), Palmeiras declared support for the changes proposed by the country's top sports entity.

According to journalist Danilo Lavieri, Palmeiras issued an official statement saying it understands the changes made by the CBF. In addition, the team from São Paulo stated that it respects the changes made by the top entity. Thus, the position is totally contrary to that of Flamengo, which raised questions.

WHAT CHANGED?

The CBF brought forward the last round of the Brazilian Championship, which would be on December 21, to the 7th of the same month. Therefore, the semi-finals and finals of the Copa do Brasil were transferred to the 10th, 14th, 17th and 21st of December. There is still the possibility that the first leg of the 'final four' of the competition will be played on November 26.

WHAT HARMED FLAMENGO?

Flamengo has been questioning the availability of days off to work aiming at the sequence of the season. This is because, the red-black team would have five free weeks due to the early elimination in the Copa do Brasil. Therefore, after the changes, the Most Beloved now only has one available.

WHAT DID FLAMENGO SAY?

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