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.

Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"
"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.
In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan .
