RACING BETWEEN CACAU COTTA AND BRAZ IN FLAMENGO GETS MORE EVIDENT AFTER CRITICISM OF CBF

The dissatisfaction of Flamengo directors with CBF is not limited to refereeing the game against Red Bull Bragantino. This Sunday (5), vice-president of football Marcos Braz made a new complaint and questioned the absence of games at 11am in the fifth round, as Fla had to play a classic with Botafogo on a sunny morning in Rio de Janeiro three days after game at altitude last week.

“There was no game at 11:00 today???? What is the criteria for the teams chosen at this time???? It's whoever shouts that they don't play???? Many things need explanation!!!!!!”, Marcos Braz published on his account on X (formerly Twitter).

The time of the match had already been the reason for complaints from fans, players and the committee Flamengo technique. This is because part of the red and black squad faced Bolívar in La Paz, at 3,640 meters above sea level, three days before the classic and it would already be a lot of wear and tear. But, in addition, April 28th was the date with the highest temperature recorded in Rio de Janeiro in the month of April: 39.1°C.

Questioned by a red-black fan in the comments of the publication , Cacau Cotta, Flamengo's Director of External Relations, believes that there is no solution to the problem. He states that the matter should have been addressed when the CBF presented the Brasileirão calendar during the Technical Council. The person who represented the club was president Rodolfo Landim.

“This matter should have been discussed in the arbitration, when the championship table is presented. Now it is very difficult to make any changes due to the difficulty of the calendar”, wrote the directors, before adding:

“I will go further if daily work is necessary in all CBF, FERJ and Conmebol institutions…”

The director, however, was asked why other Brazilian Championship games had to change their schedule. In this round, for example, the CBF moved Corinthians and Fortaleza from 4pm to 9pm this Saturday (4). Statements that made the director state that “he did not consider it impossible”, but again without stating why the club cannot do it.

The comments expose a split in the red-black board between Braz and Cacau Cotta. The director of external relations announced that he will also run for election as councilor this year, a position for which Braz will seek re-election, and angered the VP of football. Cacau is being banned from traveling with the suspect when Braz is present.
