🚨 Clubs support the CBF's thesis that there are too many foreigners in the Brasileirão; managers defend more space for young Brazilians. • ALEXANDRE MATTOS (football director of Santos): "Brazil has always been a training country, but in recent years, it has become a buyer. This movement reduces the space for the emergence of new Brazilian talents and reverses a historical characteristic of our football, which is to reveal and produce stars. It is necessary to find a balance, with more criteria in hiring." • FÁBIO MOTA (president of Vitória): "I voted for it because Vitória is a training club. The measure encourages the training of athletes, and these athletes gain more opportunities." • GRÊMIO'S POSITION: The club sees the measure as an "attempt to strengthen the training process in the country" and to "expand the use of base athletes." • CRISTIANO DRESCH (president of Cuiabá): "Today, the amount of foreign players in Brazil is excessive. I think this is a measure that can benefit training, but it is important that it comes along with initiatives that encourage this work." • JOÃO PAULO SILVA (president of Ceará): "We need to give these boys opportunities so they can perform on the field and financially. Brazilian football continues to be a good trainer of talents. The more Brazilians play in our leagues, the greater and faster the evolution of football in the country will be." DORIVAL JÚNIOR believes that the massive presence of foreign players in Brazil penalizes an 'entire generation.' "In the future, we will pay a very high price. We are not realizing this. Italy paid a very high price in two World Cups," said the coach earlier this year when he was still coaching Corinthians. • PALMEIRAS AND FLAMENGO DEFEND ANOTHER CHANGE Palmeiras, which has 8 foreigners, believes the new rule will stimulate investments in training and provide more opportunities for young players. The club is also talking to the CBF about mechanisms to protect base athletes from being approached by European teams. Among its proposals is to allow 16-year-old players to sign 5-year contracts with the training club; today, the limit is 3 years. Palmeiras and Flamengo also advocate for the end of the match limit in the Brasileirão for transfers between clubs in the country. Bap, president of Fla, suggested voting on this change, but it was not accepted. Therefore, he voted against reducing the foreign limit. Bahia and Londrina were the other opposing votes. The CBF promised to evaluate Bap's suggestion and should bring it to a vote in the future. (translated)
