The president of the São Paulo Football Federation, Reinaldo Carneiro Bastos, announced this Saturday morning that he will be a candidate for the presidency of the CBF . The election is scheduled for May 25. In an official statement, the leader said that he already has the support of some federations and the majority of the clubs in Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship.


MANAGER SUPPORT


According to "ge", at least four state federations have already expressed support for Reinaldo's name: São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Tocantins and Mato Grosso. Now, the president of the FPF seeks to consolidate his candidacy with the clubs, which meet virtually this Saturday (17) to define their position in the election that will decide Ednaldo Rodrigues' successor.


The elections were called by judicial interventor Fernando Sarney, after Ednaldo was removed from office last Thursday (14). The election is scheduled for a Sunday during the Brasileirão round (25), and candidates have until the 20th to register.

CARNEIRO BASTOS SHOULD HAVE COMPETITION


The electoral process intensified rapidly. A group formed by 19 state federations released a manifesto shortly after Ednaldo's fall and articulated the candidacy of Samir Xaud, president-elect of the Federation of Roraima , currently the most mobilizing name among state representatives.

Meanwhile, according to the portal, in addition to Reinaldo, a possible “third way” also emerges, with talks around a consensus name: Luciano Hocsman , president of the Gaucho Football Federation.

Dissatisfied with the way they have been marginalized in the negotiations, leaders of the clubs that are part of Libra and Liga Forte Futebol (LFU) are discussing the course of the process and demanding greater protagonism. The clubs' actions could be decisive for the outcome of the election.

Aware of this scenario, Samir Xaud sent a letter to the CBF this Saturday asking that the election date be postponed to Monday, the 26th, to facilitate the participation of the directors. Sarney's response has not yet been made official, but the tendency is that there will be no resistance to the change.

Coincidentally, the same day of the election (25) is also scheduled for the official presentation of Carlo Ancelotti as the new coach of the Brazilian National Team , in addition to the team's call-up for the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.


The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.


MEDICAL EVALUATION


The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).

Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.


CLASSIFICATION SCENARIOS

After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
