The Federal Supreme Court (STF) resumed this Wednesday (9) the trial of the case involving Ednaldo Rodrigues' continued presidency of the CBF .



The case was not completed. After oral arguments from three lawyers, including the one from the CBF, there was only a vote from Minister Gilmar Mendes, rapporteur of the case. As expected, Gilmar defended the terms of the preliminary decision given by himself, which is currently in force. In other words, Ednaldo's permanence in office.


Minister Flávio Dino asked for views, and therefore it is not possible to predict when the case will return to the Plenary. Ministers Luís Roberto Barroso and Luiz Fux declared themselves impeached. Initially, the trial would serve to endorse or not the injunction that Gilmar gave in January. But the minister's vote was for the final analysis of the merits of the case, which brings a broader perspective to the matter.


What was the discussion?

The center of the issue is the legitimacy of the Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ) to sign a Conduct Adjustment Term (TAC) with the CBF. This TAC was the foundation for the election that brought Ednaldo Rodrigues to power.

The Rio Court had overturned the validity of the TAC and the MP’s role in the case. With this, he shook up the structures of the CBF, appointing the president of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) as temporary manager of the entity. But the case ended up at the STF, after action by the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB). Then came Gilmar's injunction.

The rapporteur Gilmar Mendes argued that, yes, the MP could have signed the TAC with the CBF. In his vote, he also criticized the conduct of the process by the Rio Court of Justice (TJ-RJ).

"They are extravagant things in the processes that need to be noted", he said, as he described the procedure and the facts that occurred while the process was on its way to the 19th Civil Chamber.

One of the "extravagances" cited by Gilmar was:

"The CBF appeals remained pending judgment until November 2023, when the process was included on the agenda in the session of the 19th Civil Chamber, on 11/28. Just under a week before the trial session, the judge who was the rapporteur ordered the withdrawal from the agenda and signed the suspicion for personal reasons. then, the new rapporteur of the case, in a particularly expeditious manner, determined the reinstatement of the agenda and was ready to judge. The process was included in the session of 7/12/23."

Gilmar also pointed out that the decisions of the TJ-RJ were what characterized intervention in the CBF. ;">"The persistence of solutions such as the one reached by TJ-RJ will unequivocally imply an even more pronounced violation of the entity's autonomy. A court designating intervenor, which designates directors who start to manage the sports entity."

How did CBF position itself?

CBF was one of the parties that supported the process. It was represented by lawyer Floriano Azevedo Marques.

"I come here to reiterate the need to ratify the precautionary measure to avoid that, once there is intervention, the entity is removed from the order international sports. The MP took action discussing a governance issue. An uncertainty has been created that could cause harm. Faced with uncertainty, the autonomous entity decides to pacify the issue by entering into a TAC with the MP. In the exercise of constitutional competence. It would ensure that the conflict was resolved definitively", he said, defending the validity of the term signed by the entity with the MP.

The technical question about the MP

The line of reasoning behind rapporteur Gilmar Mendes' vote was to point out that sport is a social right, provided for in the constitution. Therefore, it is legitimate for the MP to act on matters linked to sporting entities .

"The MP's actions place him in a zone of communication between the State system and the social system. There is a dual relationship in the performance of their functions. (...) Legitimacy must be widely recognized", said Gilmar, later citing the activity of the CBF itself:

"It is the state's duty to encourage formal and non-formal sports. This clearly demonstrates the social interest underlying CBF’s activities. And, therefore, the presence of public interest is necessary to legitimize supervisory action."

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.


With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.


PISA RETURNS TO ITALIAN SERIES A AFTER 34 YEARS


Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.

Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).


NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA CLUBS

This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.


The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.


NO SPACE IN THE CAST


Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.

Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.


PASSING TURKEY

During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
