Tite led the last training session before the classic, this Saturday morning
|
0Flamengo's eyes are on maracanã. This is because on Sunday, the classic against Botafogo is ahead, in the Brazilian Championship. The two teams are separated in the table by just one point and the red and black team wants to have a good match, after the defeat against Bolívar, in the Libertadores. In this sense, Tite led a training session this Saturday, the last before the Rio clash.
The activities began at 9:30 am at CT Ninho do Urubu. In training, Tite had most of the players available, except Everton Cebolinha. This is because the number 11 is recovering from an injury to his right calf and is a confirmed casualty for the classic. Therefore, the expectation is that the commander will enter the field with the best he has.
Before the game against Botafogo, Tite had just two days to train the team. This is because, after losing in La Paz to Bolívar (BOL), in the Libertadores, last Wednesday (24), the players were given a day off. Therefore, Friday (26) and Saturday (27) were used by the coach to define the team that will start the duel in the fourth round of the Brasileirão.
It is worth remembering that Flamengo will enter the field at 11am this Sunday.
For the most beloved, the opponent's situation can be a point in favor

0Flamengo'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.
GOOD NEWS FOR FLAMENGO p>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.

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.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE NEXT WEEKS p>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.

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.
