"The CBF has to be ashamed when addressing certain issues. Of the 40 world confederations that have their national championships, the only one that doesn't stop is the Brazilian one. Are the other 39 wrong? Every place stops , is this the only thing right? It's absurd. When we complain, they need to listen and understand that no team that loses five players, like we did, can stop complaining. suffer, and that's what's happening. Flamengo continues to win games and minimize the impact, but it could be in a much more uncomfortable situation if it weren't like this. That's not why we're going to tone it down.", said Flamengo's VP.

SITUATION IN THE BRASILEIRÃO

With the victory, Flamengo reached 24 points, guaranteeing the leadership of the Series The Brasileirão for another round. Fluminense, who only had one finish in the classic, remains in the bottom position and faces a difficult phase under the command of Diniz.
