Palmeiras e Flamengo will face each other this Sunday afternoon (21), at 4pm, at Allianz Parque. The duel marks the teams' first meeting in 2024 and the classic was expected to be played on a high-quality pitch. However, that is not what will happen.
This is because, according to images released this Sunday (21), the pitch at the Allianz Parque Stadium is in terrible condition. This Saturday (20), there was a show at the site and this meant that the grass could not be recovered in time. Furthermore, a section of the stadium cannot be opened due to part of the event structure not having been dismantled.
COMPANY ON ACCOUNT OF THE LAWN
During the week it circulated on the networks social media a filming where Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, criticized the choice of Palmeirasfrom playing at Allianz Parque after playing their games at Arena Barueri. The agent accused the São Paulo club of gaining an advantage because the grass was synthetic.
Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, responded to Landim saying that the São Paulo team had already beaten Flamengo playing on natural grass, so she didn't understand the reason for such revolt. However, it seems that both teams will be harmed by the state of the grass at Allianz Parque.
PALMEIRAS different, but with the same idea: winning. This is because Mais Querido will try to regain the leadership of the competition and the team from São Paulo will try to get out of the middle of the table.

Lucas Paquetá's future at West Ham could be decided in the coming days . According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the midfielder is considering transfer options after being acquitted of sports betting manipulation charges . The transfer window remains open until early September, on Deadline Day.
Although there are no official offers yet, interest in the former Flamengo player is growing, especially among European clubs. West Ham has not ruled out the Brazilian's departure, as he is unlikely to be a central player in the squad this season . Financial and sporting factors also weigh in on the English club's decision.
Manchester City has already expressed interest in Lucas Paquetá . In 2023, Pep Guardiola publicly praised the player, and the boards even opened talks. However, negotiations cooled after the sports betting case was opened . Even after the acquittal, the Citizens have yet to formalize a new offer, but the possibility of an approach before the end of the window is not ruled out.
During the investigation, Paquetá was left out of the Brazilian national team squad. Coaches such as Fernando Diniz, Dorival Júnior, and Carlo Ancelotti chose not to call him up , which reduced his visibility and limited his opportunities on the international stage. The absence directly affected the player's reputation, which saw his career suffer amid the controversy.
Despite being acquitted by the English FA, which found no evidence of match-fixing , Paquetá was found guilty of failing to fully cooperate with the investigation. Therefore, he may still be fined, although the exact amount of the fine has not been determined.

Flamengo is keeping its sights set on Santos goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão as its top target to be Agustín Rossi's immediate backup on Filipe Luís's team . The player has excelled for Santos, but negotiations are far from progressing.
Despite the Rubro-Negro's interest, Santos president Marcelo Teixeira has not made negotiations easier and remains resistant to the idea of releasing the player to a direct rival . The Alvinegro board, in fact, has expressed a preference for negotiating with European clubs.
According to information from André Hernan (UOL Esporte), Flamengo presented a proposal of 7 million euros (around R$ 44.2 million) for 70% of Brazão's economic rights . The offer was made this Friday (15), but was again rejected by Santos.
Santos's request is much higher: €15 million (R$94.8 million), plus performance bonuses . In other words, more than double the amount offered by the Rio de Janeiro club. Mengão is looking to replace Matheus Cunha, who has already agreed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro for next season.
With the rejection, the goalkeeper's future remains uncertain. Flamengo has not yet indicated whether it will make another move , but the difference between the asking and offering figures has kept the deal on hold. According to Transfermarkt, Gabriel Brazão has already played 64 matches for Santos, conceded 68 goals, and left the field 22 times without conceding a goal.

After Gerson's transfer to Zenit, the Flamengo captaincy position was open , and the competition seemed obvious to both fans and coach Filipe Luís. Mengão star Arrascaeta revealed that he relinquished the armband in favor of Bruno Henrique . The Uruguayan only takes over the armband when the number 27 is not on the field, a situation that occurs frequently.
Arrascaeta on Bruno Henrique as captain at Flamengo: "I prefer him to be number one"
"We had a meeting after Gerson left, and Filipe came to me and asked if I or Bruno would be the first captain. I said it didn't matter to me, because I know what a great person and friend Bruno is by my side ," Arrascaeta said.
The Uruguayan justified his choice by highlighting the friendship and admiration he has for his strike partner. Just as he treated the number 10 shirt while Gabigol was at the club, Arrascaeta does not intend to wear the armband while Bruno Henrique is at Flamengo .
"When he's available, I prefer him to be number one, because he's a guy I admire a lot, both on and off the field . He's a great friend of mine," added the Uruguayan star, highlighting his bond with the number 27.
Since arriving at Flamengo together in 2019, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique have become symbols of one of the club's most successful eras . Together, they have won 14 titles: four Campeonato Carioca titles, two Campeonato Brasileiro titles, two Libertadores titles, three Super Cups, one Recopa Sudamericana title, and two Copa do Brasil titles.
