Flamengo's attention is divided between two important commitments: the next game against Amazonas and the decisive match for the Copa Libertadores against Millonarios. The Rio club needs to guarantee classification in the group stage without depending on results from third parties, especially Palestino. Meanwhile, the Colombian team faces a series of injury problems that could favor Flamengo in the decisive clash.

Millionarios' absences for the game against Flamengo became a greater concern for coach Alberto Gamero after the new injuries suffered by Jhoan Hernández and Stiven Vega last Sunday (19). Hernández left the field in the 66th minute and Vega in the 82nd minute, both during the match against Bucaramanga, which resulted in a 1-0 defeat.

These injuries are added to those of Cataño, Leo Castro and Giordana, making a total of five important players out of action. Gamero commented on the situation of his players, indicating that Giordana is the closest to returning, although there is still no confirmation. Leo Castro there is still no news, Cataño is recovering from surgery, Vega needs to undergo an MRI after twisting his right knee, and Hernández suffered a bruise on the sole of his left foot.

"Who seems to be close to me? to return is (Santiago) Giordana, who started doing field work. I have no news about Leo Castro (Daniel) Cataño had surgery sprained his right knee and will have an MRI to see how bad it was. a bruise on the sole of the left foot, on the plantar fascia. They probably won't play on Wednesday or Saturday. It hurts a lot," said Gamero.

Flamengo is taking significant steps to complete the construction of its own stadium. The club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, recently met with federal deputy Pedro Paulo to discuss and try to speed up the behind-the-scenes procedures of this important project.

In a crucial phase of the negotiations, Flamengo's board has sought support politician to overcome bureaucratic challenges and advance the planning of the new stadium. The meeting with deputy Pedro Paulo reflects the club's strategy of engaging influential figures in the political scene to ensure that the project moves quickly through government corridors.

The construction of its own stadium has been an old dream of the red and black fans and the club's management, which currently plays its games mainly at Maracanã, a historic stadium, but which does not belong to Flamengo. Having your own home represents not only autonomy and identity for the club, but also the possibility of increasing its revenue, without the need to share profits with the Maracanã administration.

Details about the exact location of the new stadium are still pending. in the definition phase, but several areas in Rio de Janeiro have been considered. Choosing the land is one of the most complex stages of the process, involving analyzes of technical feasibility, accessibility, environmental impact and, of course, the support of the local community.

With the pause in games, one of the biggest topics within Flamengo is the controversy in which striker and team idol Gabriel Barbosa was recently involved. He was caught wearing a Corinthians shirt, the club he had been rumored for.

The situation generated a very rum atmosphere behind the scenes and the board immediately decided to remove the player's number 10 shirt as a first measure. But behind the scenes remained agitated between the parties.

He had a big problem due to his renewal, now, the update brought by Venê Casagrande is that he should not have an extended agreement and will leave Rubro-Negro Carioca . Many characters from the football world spoke out about the case, Neto was one of them.

Recent information was that when he was punished, the Flamengo coach gave full support to the former number 10, but Neto questioned the fact of Gabi's current climate and whether the commander will give the athlete new chances and opportunities after what happened.

For him, the center forward is unlikely to play for Flamengo after everything that happened under the command of the former coach of the Brazilian team. “Is Tite going to put Gabigol on? Do you think Gabriel will want to stay with Tite? Unless Tite leaves Flamengo, that's a different situation. Gabi will never play with Tite”, began Neto.

In addition, the former player and presenter of the program Os Donos da Bola has already raised the possibility of Gabriel Barbosa leaving, as his contract ends at the end of this year and he is already in a good mood at the CRF. “He knows this in his everyday environment. Whatever club Gabigol goes to, he arrives as an idol. He's young, he won't want to disagree with Tite. And he won’t play with the coach”, he commented.
