A fact outside of all the discussions would make the Copa América finally be played in Brazil, starting this Sunday, with the match between the local and the Ecuadorian team.
The harassment complaint filed by a junior and that ended in the dismissal of Rogerio Cabolclo, until a few hours ago president of the Brazilian Confederation (CBF), would clear the way for the tournament, which until now still seemed uncertain.
Interestingly, the radical decision of the CBF ethics committee did not have to do with the announcement of the players of the selection of a statement that, it was presumed, was going to announce the decision not to play the tournament. In reality, as several local media explain, it was the sponsored team who pushed the hardest for the departure of much-discussed Cabolclo.
What happens is that he was precisely a key obstacle and now that he is gone, the much-feared boycott has been losing steam: “the main problem of the Brazilian team has always been Caboclo, and the way he directed the Copa América in Brazil With his 30-day leave of absence, determined by the CBF Ethics Committee, the idea of not playing in the tournament lost steam, “said ESPN Brazil.
In this way, Tite will not lose his position, at least for now, although it was said that what President Bolsonaro wanted was to sympathize with the cause of opponents of the Cup.
“Although they should not announce any boycott, respecting the ‘hierarchy’, as Casemiro underlined in his interview, the players are still looking for a firm communication. They are still studying the best way,” added the source.
One of the options proposed by GloboEsporte was to issue a statement underlining that they will play out of commitment to their country but under protest, which would make it clear that they do not agree on the way in which the surprise changes of venue were decided and the most affected country was taken. due to the pandemic a competition of such magnitude.
In the end, a relief for Conmebol, who saw in the sacrifice of one of its allies (Cabolclo) the solution to all its problems.
