The Libra clubs recently signed an agreement for broadcasting rights, with Flamengo included, the teams signed with Globo, for the seasons from 2025 to 2029. In a text published for journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira's column , on 'UOL Esporte', former director of Rubro-Negro commented on the subject of the league.
Wallim, former vice-president of finance at Flamengo, commented on the new Brazilian football league and the benefits for the clubs, in the event of an agreement between teams. In this sense, he revealed in conversation with a president of a brazilian team, that the teams are far from reaching an agreement for a new Brazilian football league. Wallim made it clear that having a united league in Brazilian football is much more important than just negotiating broadcasting rights.
Check out what Wallim Vasconcellos said:
“Last week, talking With a president of a Serie A club, I asked how negotiations were going about broadcasting rights and he confirmed to me that they were very far from an agreement. The benefits of creating the League are obvious and it will provide a relevant increase in the flow of resources to the clubs.”
-List of gains that clubs could have with a united league according to Wallim
-Organization and governance of the League, with management handed over to professionals of recognized competence and reputation;
-Definition of financial Fair-Play mechanisms;
-Definition of safety and comfort standards in stadiums;
-Definition of pitch conditions;
-Professionalization of arbitration;
-Definition of body structure for disciplinary matters;
p>-Definition of the calendar, among others.
“Brazilian football, even in current conditions, has enormous value and attractiveness; A well-organized championship increases the quality of the games, attracts more audiences and sponsors, making it possible to invest in better athletes and retain players for longer, valuing the product more. It’s called the virtuous circle.” The former director continued.
“Therefore, a possible sale of part of the League's capital should only happen after it is consolidated, generating greater value for the clubs.”
It is worth remembering , that recently, the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, spoke about the agreement with 'TV Globo' for broadcasting rights and says that he wants the clubs to have a union, so that the league can happen soon.

The problem was identified after tests carried out this week, which puts the player in doubt for the decisive sequence of Mengão, who are still competing for the Brazilian Championship title and are in the final of the Copa do Brasil.
Since his arrival at Rubro-Negro, in January, De La Cruz has faced several injuries. The Uruguayan has already missed the team in nine matches this season due to physical problems, such as knee and thigh injuries, in addition to a viral episode that sidelined him.
Last Sunday (20), during the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil against Corinthians, the midfielder left nine minutes into the second time, which already generated concern. At the time, coach Filipe Luís opted for Alcaraz, the Argentinean has been the immediate replacement when choosing the new coach.
SIMILAR INJURY TO THE PREVIOUS
The current diagnosis is similar to the injury suffered against Bahia, at the end of August, when De La Cruz was out for three weeks. On that occasion, the athlete returned to the field only in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores, in the clash against Peñarol, on September 19th. Now, the expectation is that he will need to go through another recovery period.
DOUBT FOR THE BRAZILIAN CUP FINAL
The two games of the Copa do Brasil final against Atlético-MG are scheduled for the 3rd and 10th of November. The tendency is for De La Cruz to be absent for the first match, with the possibility of being re-evaluated for the return match, depending on his progress during treatment. The absence of the Uruguayan would be a significant loss for Flamengo in their quest for the title.
