The S commentatorportv Roger Flores fired at the board of directors Fluminense this Monday (13). He classified as ‘inadmissible’ what the leadership did in accepting the request of the Flemish for the postponement of the classic between the clubs in Series A of the Brazilian Championship for one day. At the end, Rubro-Negro emerged victorious from the duel.
According to Roger Flores, in addition to the board’s mistakes, the classic was also marked by decisions made both before and during the match.
“A mess from the beginning to the end of Fluminense’s week. What the board arranged for this weekend was unacceptable. What Fluminense did was a joke. The biggest rival, a team that doesn’t need help for anything. Flamengo did what they had to do, they won the game and had a good Sunday for everyone. They played better, they could have won more. Flu woke up with 15 or 20 minutes to go. The coach makes a mess, starts wrong, scales wrong… The week starts all wrong and ends like this. Fluminense’s week starts to end,” he said.
How was the case
The timing of the Rio classic was initially motivated by a logistical delay by the Flamengo delegation upon its return from Cusco, Peru. However, the postponement involved direct coordination between the boards. Fluminense actively participated in the conversations from the early hours of last Thursday (9).
In a gesture of courtesy, the tricolor leadership accepted the red-black request. After consensus between the rivals, Flamengo made the request official with the CBF, Ferj and Military Police, obtaining the necessary authorization.
Fluminense’s movement reflected the policy maintained between clubs outside the four lines. At the time of the change, more than 20 thousand tickets had already been sold.
