The Palmeiras president said he would like the difference between the league’s percentages to be smaller than what his group proposed
The president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, is one of the main organizers of the creation of a league for Brazilian football. The representative of Palmeiras is with the Libra group (Brazilian Football League), in which she admitted that there are some impasses, especially with Flamengo. In an interview with the program “Conversa com Bial”, as revealed by GELeila pushed the president of Rubro-Negro, Rodolfo Landim, in relation to an alleged centralizing posture of the top hat.
The topic was also covered by “O Globo”, which revealed the alviverde leader’s dissatisfaction with the indications that Landim gave to the conversations for the creation of the League. It is worth mentioning that Libra has 18 teams, while Liga Forte Futebol do Brasil (LFF) has 26.
– Look, I’m not saying that he (Landim) is an obstacle (for the creation of the league). No, no, he’s not. It’s not an obstacle because it can’t be an obstacle, because Flamengo doesn’t play alone, you know? He needs the other clubs, you know? So, what we are looking for is that the club presidents understand that we have to value the football product, so we have to forget the mutual vanity a little so that the cake grows – said Leila to Pedro Bial.
– People need to understand that one depends on the other. What I complain a lot is that one club can’t think it’s better than the other, because it’s not. Let’s see if this progresses, but I wish it could progress faster, you know? And it is not, but I think we will soon have news – concluded the president of Palmeiras.
The main divergence of Libra members with LFF members is the division of revenue when the League was conceived. It must be understood that in Libra the difference between the first and 20th club on the list is very disproportionate, above all due to the privileges that Flamengo and Corinthians do not give up maintaining. Leila Pereira believes that this difference should be reduced.

– Let’s think about it, understand? As time goes on, that difference between who’s champion and who’s runner-up isn’t that big. Don’t be so big, got it? You think, yes (in the NBA model), but not overnight. Over time, over a few years, this difference is, for example, 3.4, of those who earn more compared to those who earn less, who must have, must be a little more homogeneous, because it’s not fun. Value and let’s all win, that’s what I would like – concluded Leila for “Conversa com Bial”.
The LFF has already reached an agreement with an investment fund that would pay more than R$2 billion to run the league. While Libra has an activated partner, but requires all 40 Serie A and B clubs to be in the same group to close the contract. That is, the investment fund does not admit that there are two groups, something the LFF fund is more flexible about. The expectation is that by June there may be some important changes in the conversations between the parties.
