Braz trusts Gabigol and announces conversation with Tite about a possible replacement for Pedro at Flamengo
The next two rounds are suspended
|
It was early morning in Bangkok, Thailand, when cell phones and emails began to pop up with the CBF letter suspending the next two rounds of the Brasileirão due to the floods in Rio Grande do Sul. A decision that the entity, itself, alone, he didn't want to take it, but he had to comply, after asking the clubs' opinion on the matter.What happened?
President Ednaldo Rodrigues, despite spending the day in Thailand, at a meeting of the FIFA Council and asking for votes for the Brazilian candidacy for the 2027 Women's Cup, spent the night awake validating the final details of the strike. He had a photo next to the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, and everything.
At 4:49 am (6:49 pm, Brasília time), there he was sending the letter to a federation president, via a messaging app. The general email arrived to other federations minutes later.
From Brazil, content coordination was carried out by the competitions director, Julio Avellar, and the new legal director, André dos Santos Almeida. They signed the paper physically. Ednaldo's signature was made digitally.
Ednaldo's decision to accept the clubs' position had already taken place on Monday (Brazilian time), after the pro-strike majority was formed. The 11 clubs from the Liga Forte União (LFU) supported the desire of Grêmio, Internacional and Juventude. According to the CBF, on Tuesday (14) the letters from the 15 clubs reached the entity — Bahia, Grêmio, Atlético-MG and Vitória, even outside the LFU, embraced the cause.
Some clubs, such as Flamengo, were taken by surprise with the immediate strike. The football leadership was on its way to Maracanã for the game against Bolívar. In theory, the CBF would not be obliged to grant this decision to the clubs. But he opened the way when he sent them the letter from the Ministry of Sports, last Friday (10), asking for a break in the Brasileirão.
Ednaldo tries to maintain a good relationship with the government. It is a time when Brasília needs to support the Brazilian bid to host the Women's Cup. Minister André Fufuca is also in Thailand.

French striker Anthony Martial, currently on the market, presented a robust financial proposal to Flamengo. Since February, his agent has offered the player to Rubro-Negro. Now, the financial terms of the proposal are on the agenda and show that negotiations could be a challenge for the Rio club.
Martial requires a significant financial package to consider a transfer to Flamengo. The amount requested includes a monthly salary of more than R$2 million, in addition to gloves. This amount refers to a three-year contract, which represents a considerable financial commitment for Flamengo. The French striker, who currently plays for Manchester United, has a remarkable track record in Europe. However, the high cost of signing him is being evaluated by the Rio club. Flamengo< /a>, which already has a strong squad and is one of the main clubs in Brazil, needs to evaluate the financial and strategic viability of this signing.
Since February, Martial's proposal has been circulating, but only now have the financial details been released. Martial's request is high and reflects the market standard for players of his caliber. However, Flamengo is aware that this investment will need to be well evaluated, not only in financial terms, but also in terms of the impact it may have on the team's structure and the club's finances.
O Rubro-Negro has shown interest in strengthening the squad and has been looking for quality players to maintain competitiveness at national and international level. Martial's proposal, therefore, is being analyzed with caution. The high cost can impact other areas of the club's budget and influence future negotiations and hiring. In addition to the financial aspect, Flamengo needs to consider Martial's tactical adjustment to the team's game plan. The French striker has a playing style that can add value to the squad, but the club will need to ensure that he fits well into the strategy and playing style proposed by the coach.
