The decision was taken unanimously by the 20 teams in the Brazilian Championship

0The 2024 Brazilian Championship will have new rules. After voting by the Technical Council of CBF, this Tuesday, it was decided to increase the limit of foreign athletes per match and the possibility of training with synthetic grass.
The decision was taken unanimously, that is, the 20 clubs belonging to series Aof the Brazilian Championship voted in favor of the guidelines. From this season onwards, the use of 9 players from outside the country per match will be allowed. In 2023, the limit was seven, but the massive presence of foreign athletes made the regulations change.
Another new feature is the use of synthetic grass for training. Therefore, clubs that have a certain type of grass must necessarily give training access to the visiting team, if requested. The measures only apply to the Brasileirão, and not to other CBF competitions, such as the Copa do Brasil.
It is worth highlighting that, despite being approved, the use of synthetic turf still generates controversy behind the scenes of Brazilian football. . The tendency is for the National Council of Clubs to debate the topic again throughout the season. The issue still displeases many clubs, and some vigorously defend the banning of a certain field.
This season's Brazilian Championship will start on April 14th, with all matches in the round taking place on Sunday. In the first round, Flamengo faces Atlético-GO, away from home.
Striker awaits end of contract and red-black election to understand possible paths

0In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club
