Ronaldo explained that after speaking with the 27 regional affiliates, 23 of them made it clear they were satisfied with the current leadership and were backing Rodrigues for reelection. He said he wasn’t given the chance to present his ideas or discuss his plans for the future of Brazilian football.
“If those in power believe Brazilian football is in good hands, then my opinion doesn’t matter,” Ronaldo said. “I couldn’t even get a seat at the table to share my vision because there was no willingness to listen.”
