The change in the date of the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final continues to generate repercussions behind the scenes at the clubs. In addition to Corinthians, Vasco also spoke out against the decision of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Pedrinho, president of the Rio team, harshly criticized the entity, claiming that Flamengo was favored with the change.
On their social networks, Vasco released a video in which Pedrinho takes a position on the CBF's decision. The director of the Cruzmaltino club stated that the highest entity of Brazilian football sent a letter communicating the change of dates, without even consulting the team about what they thought of the change.
Pedrinho also expressed his dissatisfaction with the attitude of the CBF, highlighting that Vasco faced Athletico-PR in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil with players returning from the national teams just one day before the match. According to him, this new change will benefit both Flamengo and Atlético-MG.
"First, the CBF enters We contacted Vasco through a letter asking about changing the date of the game. We immediately denied this request, even offering an alternative to change it to the 16th, an advance of one day. And the CBF completely ignores Vasco's refusal. and it overrides this, given that Vasco played in an identical situation with some players returning in the early hours of the day of the game against Athletico-PR, so this completely calls into question the CBF's decision making. The opponent is benefiting because Vasco played. with players who arrived tired from their travels, serving their teams. That's very clear to me.
The other point is the following: all that's left is for the opponent to choose the referee for the game. the CBF completely loses credibility with this decision. Vasco does not want to benefit, Vasco wants justice. And it's not being fair. Because the situation is similar to what Vasco faced. Today Atlético-MG and Flamengo are benefiting from this CBF decision. Vasco is outraged by the CBF's decision. I even spoke to Mr. Júlio Avelar on the phone who did not agree with the situation of changing dates and championships, bringing forward the Brazilian Championship and pushing the Copa do Brasil to the weekend. So here is the repudiation and obviously the indignation of the Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama."
UNDERSTAND THE CHANGEInitially, the CBF had established the days October 2nd and 17th as dates for the Brazilian Cup semi-final games. However, due to the FIFA Date, Flamengo and Atlético-MG requested the entity to change the day of the second leg.
In compliance. following requests, the CBF announced last Saturday (28) that the second game of the semi-final between Flamengo and Corinthians will be held on October 20, three days after the originally scheduled date. Vasco will face Atlético-MG on the 19th of the same month. .

Thiaguinho is back at Flamengo after seven months on loan at Treze-PB. The 23-year-old striker reappeared at Ninho do Urubu this week and has been sharing records of his training at the red-black CT. He has a contract with the club until the end of 2025.
Treze's standout player in the Campeonato Paraibano, Thiaguinho scored four goals, even though he arrived after the start of the competition. In Série D, he shone even more, finding the net 10 times and becoming the club's top scorer in the history of the Brazilian Championship. Despite its good form, the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals and was unable to gain access to Series C, leaving it without a calendar until the end of the year.
With the end of the loan, Thiaguinho returned to Flamengo, but it should not be taken advantage of by Tite. Recently, the striker received two proposals from Portugal: one from Leixões in July and another from Estrela da Amadora in August. However, he refused both, opting to remain in Brazil.
Signed by Flamengo at the end of In 2019, at the age of 18, as a promise, Thiaguinho was acquired from Náutico for around R$7 million, with the club purchasing 70% of his economic rights. Although he came through the academy, he never managed to establish himself in the first team. This season, he scored his first goal for Flamengo in the 1-1 draw against Nova Iguaçu, for Carioca.

In an official note released this Saturday on social media, the president of Corinthians, Augusto Melo, criticized the CBF for changing the date of the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final against Flamengo. The match, initially scheduled for the 17th of October, a Thursday, was moved to the 20th, Sunday.
The games in the Series A round, which would take place on the 19th and 20th of October and involve the semi-finalists of the Copa do Brasil, will be brought forward to the 16th and 17th of October. The change came after a request from Flamengo, which was rejected by Corinthians in an official letter when consulted by the CBF.
< Finally, Augusto Melo stated in the note that the decision harms Brazilian football in general. The first leg of the semi-final against Flamengo will be next Wednesday, at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã. Check out Corinthians' note in full:“Sport Club Corinthians Paulista expresses its deep indignation with the decision of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to change the date of the return game of the semi-final of Brazilian Cup. Such a decision, in addition to being an affront to the previously established calendar, disrespects not only Corinthians, but also the competition as a whole.
It is unacceptable that, in a competition of such relevance, decisions are taken favoring a club to the detriment of others, especially when it has already been widely publicized that Corinthians competes in three competitions simultaneously, and any change generates serious damage to our sporting planning. Respecting the pre-stipulated schedule should be a priority for the CBF, which, unfortunately, demonstrates, once again, a lack of commitment to equity and transparency.
Corinthians cannot passively accept that changes are made to meet individual interests, putting the integrity of the competition and the performance of the teams involved at risk. Our institution had formally expressed its opposition to any modification, as detailed in the letter sent to the CBF, and the unilateral decision to accept a request from another club, without considering the negative impacts on our planning, is clear disrespect.
This type of attitude hurts the credibility of Brazilian football. Corinthians will continue to fight for football to be treated with justice and equality, without favors or external interference that compromise the integrity of the competitions.
Augusto Melo
President of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista”
