Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, will not go with the delegation to Rio de Janeiro, where on Wednesday (17) the team will face Botafogo, in the Brazilian championship. Play10 he believed that the reason for the absence, according to the director, was “security issues”.
After the remarkable 4-3 upset of Alviverde, which practically changed the Brasileirão-2023 scenario, a climate of animosity has arisen between John Textor, owner of SAF Alvinegra, and the leader of Alviverde. This week, in fact, will be the first duel between the teams after that episode.

Leila and Textor began to exchange barbs, which confirms the unfavorable atmosphere for Wednesday. The American businessman, in fact, often accuses Palmeiras of having received favors in the matches of the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Brazilian Championship. This stance disgusted the president of Palmeiras, who in an interview with the program ‘Roda Viva’ of TV Cultura even called Textor an “idiot”.
Leila therefore has no interest in establishing contact with Textor after the conflict involving legal disputes. Her understanding is that her presence at the Nilton Santos Stadium would draw attention off the field to the detriment of the game that is worth the championship. She will therefore remain in the capital Sao Paulo.
Botafogo and Palmeiras will face each other this Wednesday (17), at 21:30 (Brasilia time), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão. The duel sees the top two teams in the competition, with 33 points: the Cariocas are ahead thanks to two more goals (27 to 25).
