As Lionel Scaloni had argued, the classic between Brazil and Argentina for the sixth round of the South American Qualifiers which had been suspended a year ago at the 5 minutes of San Pablo due to the intervention of the health authorities and which FIFA had ordered that next September 22 , will not be played. Official confirmation is missing, but common sense prevailed and before a change of position by the Brazilian Confederation, from Switzerland they decided to back down and will cancel that meeting that does not change absolutely anything in the panorama of the qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup by Conmebol.
“The truth is that they are bothering us a bit with this problem, because we are a month and a half from that date and we do not know who we will play with and where. It is difficult to understand that FIFA is not our fault, but who has to take the decision. I do not see well that you play in Brazil and with the public, it seems unusual, but we will see what happens “, the national team’s DT triggered his discomfort last week, before boarding the plane to return to his home in Mallorca, Spain.
And it seems that his words have been heard because that classic that was a stone in the shoe of the coach born in Pujato will not materialize. From the Argentine Football Federation they have maintained a firm position on this issue and had to accompany that of Scaloni. Nobody in Argentina wanted to play for Brazil again because they considered it a wasted opportunity to compete with other rivals. Moreover, it was a great risk because if a player was disqualified, for accumulating yellow cards or expulsion, he would have had to serve the sanction at the World Cup in Qatar, starting on November 22 when he made his debut against Saudi Arabia.
Even Tite, the coach of Brazil, did not see this well and analyzed by presenting a totally alternative formation, something that his albiceleste duo also shared. He in fact reported it to Ednaldo Rodrigues, the head of CBF, who in turn raised the issue at FIFA.
The AFA lawyers had challenged the FIFA ruling and had turned to the CAS, the Superior Court of Sport. That resolution was pending as this entity takes its time to deliver a verdict. This also weighed on FIFA’s final determination, which automatically leaves the recourse to the CAS without effect as no sentence is necessary.
