The Brazilian Championship is being postponed by three days to accommodate some matches that had to be rescheduled
|
0The last round of the Brazilian Championship will end on December 6th (Wednesday) and no longer on December 3rd (Sunday). This decision was taken by the Brazilian Football Confederation, taking into account that the current calendar would not be able to accommodate four matches that had to be postponed, for different reasons.
The first game that will take place is scheduled for November 18th (Saturday), during the FIFA date. The CBF will not be 'disturbing' the Brazilian team with this decision or any of the two teams, because the players called up, until now, are not part of these clubs. It will be the game between Fortaleza and Cruzeiro.
On the other hand, the other six teams with pending games could have players (and even a coach) out, if their commitments were scheduled during the period of World Cup qualifiers. Check out the matches that were changed:
Fluminense date: November 22nd.

< /p>Responsible for the attacker's surgery, Luiz Antônio Vieira states that the attacker is recovering well
|
0Doctor Luiz Antônio Vieira, responsible for Pedro's surgery, commented that the attacker's recovery has been very positive. The surgeon was responsible for reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament in Pedro's knees — on the right in 2018 and on the left this year. Vieira believes that the player's return will be better than his first injury, which occurred six years ago.
In an interview with the 'GE' portal, the doctor, who also operated on Bruno Henrique, detailed the surgical procedure, highlighting Pedro's physical and psychological qualities and reassured Flamengo fans about the possibility of the striker being present at the Club World Cup, in June next year.
“He was lucky not to have a meniscus injury , so joint rehabilitation is faster. We're still in September, I mean, he'll be there for about eight months, because that's around the time he turns around, between the eighth and ninth month. So I believe he has a chance. He is very dedicated, super focused on rehabilitation, does everything you tell him to, has strong legs, good muscles... I think he has a chance. He will be around the time he would more or less return”, said the doctor.
Pedro’s mind is calm in the face of the serious injuryLuiz Antônio Vieira commented on the way Pedro is coping mentally with the situation. After suffering the same injury in 2018 to one knee, the attacker now has the anterior cruciate ligament in his other knee torn. The doctor highlighted that Flamengo's Shirt 9 is very calm and sees this as a learning experience for his life.
“He has one good thing: he is quite religious. So he believes that it is part of his life learning, that he had to go through this. He accepted, in a way he resigned himself a little. He said: ‘Doctor, I’ve been through this, I’m going to have to go through it again, it was supposed to be like this, it’s part of my life, let’s face it’. He is super calm about it”, explained Vieira.
In addition, Vieira mentioned the time that Pedro will be able to spend with his twin daughters, who were born just over a month ago.
“He’s at a stage where he just had a baby, right? He has one-month-old twins, so I told him: “Everything in life has a good and a bad side. You will now be able to live with your one-month-old daughters because playing football two or three times a week would be impossible, right”? So let's put it this way, there will be this good part, in inverted commas, of his drama”, concluded the surgeon.
