Topic: Brasileirão 2024 - Brazilian Championship Serie A - page 43. (Read 8949 times)

I was curious to see the news because last year Globo wasn't allowed to broadcast Athletico PR's games, and this year it will only be able to broadcast on free channels like Globo. No SporTV or Premiere for the team's matches
I remember it well because CazeTV broadcast all the team's matches and gained a lot of followers

I wonder if in a few years the teams themselves will be able to broadcast their matches. Leaving aside the TV stations so they can try to make more money?
At least the bigger teams

Globo monopoly once again?
Unfortunately, the clubs have once again surrendered to the Globo network's money and now those who have money will be able to choose what they want on PayPerView, the others will have to watch the favorites that Globo chooses. With the exception of Athletico-PR, Globo can only broadcast its games on open TV.

Last year, the regulatory agency CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) had investigated Globo for monopoly, broadcasting games under specific interest and for making it difficult to transfer images to other broadcasters, in short... nothing came of it.

I would like to know what the agreement was reached (in terms of values) for each team, as we know that some receive much more than others.

Another news about the 2024 Brazilian Championship 

It was announced that Rede Globo (one of the largest television channel companies in Brazil) has just signed a contract with the last team (Criciuma) to be able to broadcast this year's Brazilian Championship games.
Now, Rede Globo has the right to broadcast the 2024 season games of all teams, and can broadcast on open transmission channels, paid channel and pay-per-view.

At least they've taken action and are reshaping the team
I don't blame them that much anymore, because looking at the past, the coach leaving Botafogo in the middle of the championship was a very hard hit for the whole team

Savarino was the second most expensive signing in Botafogo's history, and to tell you the truth, I didn't even know this player  
The team paid around 2.6 million dollars, which is about 13 million BRL (Source)
It doesn't seem like much compared to Europe, but by Brazilian standards, it's a very expensive player indeed
In the Carioca championship we'll be able to get a preview of how the team will play

Yes!
Botafogo really opened up space for new signings.
In goal, as far as I know John came to be the starting goalkeeper and in defense Lucas Halter and Barboza who were standouts in Goiás and Libertad will play a very different defense this year.
I'm just not very convinced that Botafogo made good options for the attack... Jeffinho, Savarino?? I don't think it will make a big difference, but we'll see how they interact with the team on the field.

Anyway... there were changes in all sectors of the team, from what I could see, we'll see. For better or worse, something must change.

Last year I won the bet on Palmeiras being champions, but this year I still need to watch the state championships to get a good idea of who to bet on, it's better to make this bet one day before the championship starts

---

Botafogo, after losing last season's title, are reshaping their squad
14 players in total have already left the team, most notably goalkeeper Lucas Perri and Adryelson (defender) who have been sold to Lyon (France)
These are two important losses, but Botafogo want to reshape the team considerably

Yeap!

So... last season Botafogo led the championship from the third round until the thirty-third, so I honestly don't want to bet on any champion for this 2024 season, at least until the middle of the championship.
We already know that the main Brazilian football championship is the most competitive and difficult in the world, and we also know that being champion in the last season does not guarantee good results in the following season.... unlike the European championships, there are no pre-defined favorites in the Brazilian championship, every year we have a surprise.

Who will win?
Let's leave this question and answer for a few months, maybe!?

I confess this is an interesting question but this could happen lol

Lately, Palmeiras, in addition to being an excellent team, has been consistent and this is one of the main factors that make it one of this year's favorite teams.
But I have no doubt that he could finish the championship in the top 3 or top 5, there is a high possibility of that happening.

Another possible team, that could be champion is Gremio, in the last year of Brasileirão they finished in second place, analyzing from this perspective, they also have a chance of being the champion of this season of Brasileirão.

An interesting variable that I would like to share and that can be very useful are trades, this is an important factor that will decide the future of the Brasileirao teams.


You can see the trades on these Brazilian sites...

Is it too early to say Palmeiras will win once again?

Betting houses are considering Flamengo as the favorite to win Brasileirão 2024. Palmeiras comes in second place and Atlético-MG in third. They might know something we don't, but it seems unreasonable to put Flamengo as favorite when Palmeiras remains unbeatable and getting stronger season after season. There aren't significant changes in Palmeiras team to consider they shouldn't be the favorite anymore.

They have proven to deliver a stable performance even in very unfavourable and uncertain conditions, like it happened last year with Botafogo dominating the champioship for a long time. Despite this fact, Palmeiras didn't get unsettled and bounced back in the end.

Botafogo should at least have qualified directly for the Libertadores, but the second half of the championship was really difficult for them
I don't know what to think of Botafogo yet, I need to see them play with the changes they've made to the team, the Carioca championship could be a good one to watch and analyze better

At the same time as being an excellent team, which led the league and finished in 5th place, it's also the same team that had one of the worst campaigns in the second round, so it's still a mystery for me (for us)
I would stay away from any bet involving Botafogo 

These are valid observations...
In fact, it is very advantageous and interesting for the Brazilian team to adopt these breaks/stoppages  in accordance with FIFA's agenda, I believe that everyone (or almost everyone) will benefit, staff, players, teams, fans and others.

If we analyze the opening game, I also agree with you, the most likely to happen will be the game between Flamengo x Palmeiras.

So... I believe the opposite, Botafogo needs to surprise its fans by winning as many results as it can. This will not bring sadness to the players, but rather demonstrate that the team managed to reorganize itself and that it is capable of returning to the main category and being among the first in the following season (2025).

In addition to the Brasileirão, its important to remember that Botafogo can also achieve other achievements this year that will excite their fans, starting with the "Campeonato Carioca" which starts later this month, there is also the "Copa do Brasil" and the "Pre-Libertadores".

I believe that Botafogo can organize its team and think about winning titles... The "Carioca" (state) championship is possible to achieve, and with a good restructuring of the team its possible to also think about greater achievements for this year.

after Botafogo was embarrassed last season, I hope this season they don't stay at the top of the table in the first games, that would only make many people laugh at them and poor Botafogo fans who would have to relive the sad memory that Botafogo was very distant of all teams and at the end of the league they finished below first and second place. Predicting now who will win Brasileirao is a very difficult task, even when the games start it will be very difficult to predict who will be the winner, during the season I was watching Palmeiras, but then I changed my mind and started watching Botafogo, but then I changed my ideals and started seeing palm trees.

for this season, first I need to see the squad of each team, then I want to see the first 5 games of each team, only then will I have an idea of how each team has been doing and what the potential of each team is and which team has the greatest chances of win the league. I hope that in this new season Flamengo will be a strong team capable of winning the league. I haven't had time yet to see how much change Flamengo has already made or if they have plans to make them so that they stay strong enough to win the title. They could have won the title last season if they had been a consistent team that won every game. but unfortunately they didn't manage to win the league, I hope this new season will be different

The stoppages in the Brazilian championship are following the FIFA agenda, just like in other countries
In Brazil nowadays there's a different situation than there was years ago, several foreigners playing here, Argentinians, Uruguayans, Paraguayans etc, so I think it's a trend and the right thing to do

I remember seeing somewhere that last year there were 130 foreigners in the Brazilian league A, including players and coaches

About the opening match
As I said in the previous post, I'm betting on Palmeiras vs Flamengo at the Allianz Arena (Palmeiras' stadium)

Yes, that's a fact! I'm sure this will bring more visibility to the Brazilian Championship (Brasileirao). They adopted this type of championship/opening start inspired by some leagues in the United States!

Another interesting point that was disclosed is that Ednaldo Rodrigues (president of CBF - Brazilian Football Confederation) will make some stoppages of the Brasileirao during the FIFA dates, having as a result to not coincide the dates of others official FIFA championships with the dates of the Brasileirao games, therefore, several players will be able to play in several championships without committing or prioritizing a particular game during the year.

Well... a question I'm asking myself... what is the possible team that will play this opening game against Palmeiras? Does something concrete already exist? Or are they just rumors? And what will be the stadium for this opening game? Possibly Maracana or Allianz Parque? Or are there other plausible options? That's my question!

This opening match is sure to attract more attention, to have a full stadium and full media attention, since it will only be 1 game
And it will be on April 13th
I also believe that it will be Palmeiras vs Flamengo, it makes more sense to have a match between the champion (from the state of São Paulo) and the team with the biggest fans (from the state of Rio de Janeiro) Flamengo, it will certainly fill the stadium and give a lot of audience. There are Flamengo fans all over Brazil 


It's very good that the women's league is gaining attention, with more games being broadcast, more sponsors and more teams joining women's soccer. It's a good opportunity, especially for younger women, to have a chance to earn money from soccer, something that was practically impossible until a few years ago.

I don't know if there will be betting on women's soccer. Last year I placed several bets on the World Cup, but I don't remember seeing the Brazilian championship

Recently I was researching and analyzing the Brazilian Championship (aka Brasileirão) in the year 2024 and I found some relevant points that I would like to share in this topic.

Well, this has indeed become true and in this year's championship the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) will hold an opening match and not a full round as is currently the case.
Possibly the main idea is to hold this debut match with last year's Brasileirao champion (Palmeiras) against another team that has a large fan base (I believe Flamengo or Corinthians could be those teams).

Look, I confess this is something interesting and that it never happened in the Brasileirao, perhaps this type of change could give more visibility and notoriety to this year's of Brazilian Championship.

By the way... below I will share the calendar of the national football championships that will take place in Brazil in 2024.

Dates of national championships held by the CBF (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol // Brazilian Football Confederation) in 2024:

• Brazilian Cup: 21/02 - 10/11
• Brazilian Championship (Brasileirão Serie A): 14/04 - 08/12
• Brazilian Championship (Brasileirão Serie B): 04/20 - 11/26
• Brazilian Championship (Brasileirão Serie C): 21/04 - 20/10
• Brazilian Championship (Brasileirão Serie D): 21/04 - 29/09
• Brazilian Super Cup: 03/02

So, I remembered now...
In the Brasileirão we also have a women's league that is gaining a lot of prominence and praise, as the quality of their football is enough to impress many men.
In this sense, I am updating the OP with information about the women's championship, which will start on March 17th with the following teams:

• América Mineiro
• Atlético Mineiro
• Avaí/Kindermann
• Botafogo
• Corinthians
• Cruzeiro
• Ferroviária
• Flamengo
• Fluminense
• Grêmio
• Internacional
• Palmeiras
• Real Brasília
• Red Bull Bragantino
• Santos
• São Paulo

Yes, i algo agrere with that and like what you said, there is always a first time!
But Santos made several mistakes, I confess it was incredible, they just needed to win the last game, but they lost to Fortaleza.
Another possibility was If Santos had at least drawn that last game and Bahia had also drawn... Bahia would have been relegated to Serie B and Santos would have remained in Serie A, but that didn't happen.

Another team that narrowly missed being relegated to Serie B was Cruzeiro, but in the last few games the team "woke up" and performed relatively well compared to the rest of the season.

So we need to look on the bright side of history... Santos will finally have the chance to win an unprecedented title: First place in the second division of the Brazilian championship.


Speaking of Internacional... I read today that the promise for 2024 is to focus 100% on the Brasileirão so that maybe we can break the 45-year fast without winning that title.
The promise is to carry out a very aggressive campaign with an investment of up to 9 million euros in acquiring players in all sectors of the team and providing the coach with several options.
