B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

Gustavo Tutinha wrote that the information presented in the follow-up of the Judicial Recovery detailed the financial situation of Vasco and the SAF in 2026. According to him, the updated balance of loans was R$ 287.9 million: R$ 282.4 million in principal and R$ 5.5 million in interest and adjustment. Of this total, R$ 84 million corresponded to Crefisa and R$ 203.9 million to Almirante. Tutinha reported that the loan from Crefisa had a yield of CDI + 7% per year and quarterly amortizations until September 2028. Of the contracts with Almirante, R$ 156.5 million were updated by the CDI, maturing in December 2027, and R$ 47.4 million by the INPC, with maturities in July and August 2027. In July and August, according to him, two loans were contracted with Almirante Participações, of R$ 40 million and R$ 5.6 million, both with a single payment due in 2027. The operation of R$ 40 million also provided for a fiduciary assignment of part of the LFU receivables linked to the commercial appeal criterion. The consolidated tax debt of the recovering companies was approximately R$ 271 million and reached R$ 334 million with adjustments, fines, and interest, wrote Tutinha. During negotiations with the PGFN, Vasco and the Prosecutor's Office supposedly agreed to temporarily reduce the installments of the installments to R$ 580 thousand monthly until the consolidation of a new transaction. The cash balance reported on August 31 was R$ 5.6 million. Between January and August, the cash flow recorded R$ 201.4 million in receipts related to economic rights of athletes, according to Tutinha. Rayan accounted for R$ 171.9 million; Leandrinho was also mentioned with R$ 9.3 million; João Victor, with R$ 5.6 million; Luiz Gustavo, with R$ 5.3 million; Loide, with R$ 2.1 million; and Galarza, with R$ 2 million. Tutinha attributed the increase in marketing revenues in June to the receipt, in a single installment, of R$ 25 million from the master sponsorship contract with SportingBet. The SAF reported, according to Tutinha's account, that cash outflows in August were lower because R$ 46.6 million in payments were deferred to September: R$ 32.6 million in transfer fees, R$ 5.5 million in commissions, R$ 4.5 million in signing bonuses, R$ 3.4 million in taxes, and R$ 630 thousand in TEF. The cash flow recorded R$ 56.8 million in restructuring disbursements between January and August. The breakdown presented by the SAF, however, totaled R$ 59.1 million: R$ 21.9 million for the CNRD, R$ 19.5 million for tax installment plans, R$ 6.8 million related to Judicial Recovery, R$ 5.3 million for the Judicial Administrator and legal and financial advisors, R$ 4.3 million in transfers to the CRVG and R$ 1.3 million for BACEN. Tutinha observed that the itemized amounts did not match the total recorded in the cash flow. According to the numbers disclosed by him, the SAF had 46,347 active clients in the supporter program in January and 35,790 in August, a reduction of approximately 10.5 thousand. Of the clients registered in August, 35,214 were up to date with their payments. Tutinha also wrote that Vasco claimed to be meeting its obligations under the Judicial Recovery Plan on time and settling debts incurred after the recovery request and extrajudicial credits. In the CNRD, the club was to allocate R$ 15 million per year for the payment of three plans; the credits were adjusted by the IPCA and were not subject to discounts. Regarding the agreement concluded in September, Tutinha reported that 777 declared it did not oppose the establishment of the New SAF, the creation of the UPI Equity, the judicial sale of 90% of the shares, nor the transfer of the shares to the winner of the competitive process. The former controller also reportedly stated that it would withdraw from incidents and appeals related to Judicial Recovery and relinquish respective claims. Tutinha affirmed that the numbers outlined the financial operation of Vasco as the club moved towards a new phase of restructuring and the completion of the sale of the New SAF. #Vasco #Futebol #Finanças (translated)

Connor Storrie Updates stated that the choices at the polls could affect the rights and public policies aimed at the LGBTQIAPN+ population. According to the publication, Flávio Bolsonaro's program did not present proposals to guarantee LGBT rights and planned to restrict the participation of trans athletes in female categories, in addition to supporting initiatives underway in Congress to limit trans people's access to bathrooms and changing rooms. The account said that a right-wing and ultraconservative majority elected to Congress that Sunday would broaden the space for these proposals and make it more difficult to consolidate protection policies. It also stated that the information was a form of protection and resistance. #DireitosLGBT #Eleições2023 #ResistênciaLGBT (translated)

Angelo Mangiante wrote that Jannik Sinner had chosen a cautious approach to regain his best form and protect his future, avoiding a rushed return. According to Mangiante, the problem was an extra-articular tendon inflammation in the right knee: a condition that is not severe but has long healing times and risks of relapse and chronicization. Mangiante noted that Sinner's last appearance in a tournament was the Wimbledon final on July 12 against Zverev. Since then, he wrote, the tennis player had missed five events: the Montreal and Cincinnati Masters 1000, the US Open, the Beijing tournament, and the Shanghai tournament. According to Mangiante, Sinner would maintain the top spot in the ranking until October 18, but he risked being surpassed by Zverev if the German had won both in Beijing and Shanghai. The author added that Sinner would defend the titles he won the previous year in Vienna, Paris, and at the ATP Finals, and that he would return to the court only once he reached full fitness. #Tennis #Atleta #Prudenza (translated)

Today we resolved a situation that had been dragging on for decades at the Rei Pelé training center of Santos. The club will continue to use the property, which still belongs to the Union, now in a regularized manner: it will pay for the use of the space and settle about R$ 23 million related to the previous period. Anyone who loves football knows the importance of this training center for the development of athletes and for the history of Brazilian sports — even a Corinthians fan like me. Public heritage is preserved, Santos gains security to continue developing talents, and the rivalry remains where it should be: on the field. #Futebol #SantosFC #EsporteBrasileiro (translated)

The greatest athlete in the history of this country. The biggest reference for any Portuguese who always wanted more. A global idol. Portugal in the world. The greatest example in the history of sports of the importance of knowing how to leave on a high note. No one beats time; Cristiano lost that "game" four years ago, and the ego does the rest, leaving a trail of destruction of image that does not match one of the greatest athletes in the history of the game. Let this sad film that only harms the national team and the image of the best athlete this country has ever seen and will see come to an end. #CristianoRonaldo #Portugal #Desporto (translated)

⚠️ SCENARIO ON THE MANDATE FOR THE SUL-AMERICANA SEMIFINAL AGAINST BOCA JUNIORS: - The club is trying to reach an agreement with Boca Juniors and Conmebol to play at São Januário. Vasco is working on all possibilities to ensure the match takes place at the Historic Hill. - This depends on Conmebol's approval regarding the rule of capacity above 30,000 (a "controllable" problem), but mainly on Boca's acceptance regarding visitors. The rule states 4,000 tickets. There is an attempt to reduce this number, with Vasco having the same amount at La Bombonera, but there is still no agreement. AND MARACANÃ? - The first attempt was Maracanã. Vasco exhausted all friendly possibilities to play there. With another "no" from the consortium, the next possibility is only in 2026 (Vitória and Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil), the club is already working on the possibility of taking it to court. This is on the board's table and can be activated at any moment, based on the notice. - Playing at Maracanã is not a problem for the group of players. They also feel at home there. But in order of preference, São Januário is number 1 for the squad. - One attempt does not negate the other. Vasco does not want to be hostage to just one possibility. With the "no" from the consortium, São Januário is a priority. However, the possibility of legal action regarding Maracanã occurs in parallel. The third option is Nilton Santos Stadium, both for the board and for the athletes' preference. #CanaldoPedrosa #CanaldoPedrosa #Vasco #SulAmericana #BocaJuniors (translated)
