Helder Floret stated that the dispute over Maracanã was more political than sporting. According to him, Flamengo knew that a match involving Vasco would not cause losses, but wanted to demonstrate power and act as if it were above the official regulations. Floret said that Vasco was trying to regain a position of prominence and, therefore, did not give up the dispute, which in his assessment should continue in the coming years and went beyond the stadium. He added that, whatever the immediate result, the club needed to move past the passive stance that, according to him, accepted everything out of weakness, as the moment had changed. #Futebol #Maracanã #PolíticaEsportiva (translated)
