Professional moaners: José Boto hits back at criticism over Fla-Flu delay Flamengo’s football director, José Boto, spoke this Sunday (12) about the criticism over the postponement of Fla-Flu. He said there are “professional whiners” who spoke about something that did not concern them. The executive also defended the date change because of the difficulties in the red-and-black delegation’s return after their Libertadores debut.
There is a lot of confusion, and I heard a lot being said about something that should be normal. If there are clubs we are used to seeing that are whiners, who cry about everything, who are professional whiners... There are others that really surprised me for speaking about something that does not concern them.
It was a difficult trip, just as Fluminense’s was. For the good of the spectacle and the health of the players, there was an agreement between the clubs to play the match today. I am sure the game we are going to watch today will be better than the one we would have seen yesterday.
The players have one more day of rest, and it is not just Flamengo’s players. Fluminense’s do as well. Obviously, if Fluminense’s coach did not think it would be better, and every coach wants extra training days and time for their players to rest, he would not have accepted it.
