This season, many clubs with huge debts invested heavily to get close to Flamengo and Palmeiras in the competitions they compete in, such as Botafogo and Corinthians. Irritated by the situation, Mais Querido and the alviverde team lead the movement to implement financial fair play in Brazilian football. This Monday (23), Leila Pereira raised her tone and criticized the situation experienced in the Brasileirão.
"I have already spoken several times. I heard that there has already been a study at the CBF, it is ready to implement fair play and there was no progress. I think it's fundamental. It's absurd for clubs that don't pay salaries, don't pay taxes, to continue hiring and do absolutely nothing. If they wait for the clubs to organize themselves, it won't happen. never because the interest of many clubs is to continue like this, they only see winning the next title", said Leila Pereira.
"If the club breaks, there's no problem. have financial fair play, clubs that don't pay on time are prevented from hiring and the president takes personal responsibility for irresponsibility. Only then would Brazilian football be able to do so. Because otherwise they wait for the club to go bankrupt, these SAFs come, they come in, sometimes SAF like that. has so much credibility. It's a shame, because it's a wonderful product", added the president of Palmeiras.
CLUBS MEET TO DEBATE FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY
At the beginning of September, clubs such as Flamengo, São Paulo, Palmeiras, Internacional, Vasco, Fortaleza and Fluminense, as well as teams from the second and third divisions, met to discuss the implementation of financial fair play.

"This issue of fair play, if everything goes well, if I am re-elected president of Palmeiras, it is an issue that I will bring the clubs together to talk about. It's not possible, it's very unfair. Palmeiras pays everything on time. I don't delay a day's salary or the image of my athletes or my collaborators. Since I've been president, I've never been late", highlighted Leila.
"If I don't make any hires, it's because I can't financially afford those hires. How can I compete with a club that doesn't pay players on time, that pays CLT but doesn't pay image, on equal terms? Sometimes a well-organized club stays and another passes because it is irresponsible. It cannot. The CBF has to see this, it has to look at this", asked Leila Pereira.

After recovering from an injury to his right thigh, Danilo returned to the field in Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Internacional, this Sunday (17), for the Brazilian Championship. The defender came on in the second half and, even with the Mais Querido's triumph , he recognized a mistake in the play that resulted in the opponent's goal.
"Today, first of all, it's largely my responsibility, especially due to my lack of responsiveness there. So, certainly, I should have and must have done better on that play. But it's a very high-quality defense, they're Brazilian national team-level players , and each one plays their own game," Danilo stated in an interview.
Despite the individual error, the defender highlighted the team's collective performance, emphasizing the importance of the forwards and midfielders' pressure throughout most of the match. According to him, collective effort facilitates marking and strengthens defensive consistency.
" We also have to highlight the work of the rest of the team , because the forwards and midfielders apply relentless pressure throughout almost the entire match. This makes our job much easier, too , which is basically stopping plays when the ball isn't as clear, because our forwards, I think, and midfielders press hard and give a lot of themselves in this area. So, the credit goes to the whole team," Danilo concluded.
The defender had not played since July 21, when he injured his right hamstring. Having recovered, Danilo came on in the 22nd minute of the second half, replacing Léo Ortiz . In the 47th minute, Bernabei crossed into the box, and Danilo, in his marking, was unable to prevent Borré from shooting , who scored Internacional's goal.
The Rubro-Negro coach details the reasons that led to the decision not to include the Uruguayan player in the match against Internacional and praises the healthy competition.

In the 3-1 victory over Internacional, Filipe Luís chose not to include Matías Viña among the squad. The Uruguayan full-back was left out of the match played on Sunday (17), at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. After the match, the coach explained the choice and commented on the competition for the position.
" Competition. Alex Sandro is doing very well, he's a starter for the national team. Ayrton Lucas was our best player at the Club World Cup. Honestly, leaving one of them out is difficult. All three are doing well. When you have so many players, the coach's heart breaks. Ayrton Lucas had a great performance. It's great to see the competition for the starting spot," Filipe Luís declared in a press conference.
Ayrton Lucas was named the starting left-back and remained on the field for the entire 90 minutes. The number 6 actively participated in the attacking plays, including the start of the move that resulted in Plata's goal, the Mais Querido's third of the match. Alex Sandro, also an option for the position, was on the bench.
Viña has been receiving opportunities since recovering from a serious injury. The Uruguayan caught the attention of fans with his physical strength and strong performances throughout the season , establishing himself as an important player for Mengão's left back.
Flamengo will face Internacional again on Wednesday (20), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. With Matías Viña available, the team seeks to maintain its offensive performance and guarantee qualification for the next phase of the continental tournament.
