AMAZONAS FIRES COACH ADILSON BATISTA AFTER ELIMINATION TO FLAMENGO

This Wednesday (26), the Flamengo will take to the field against Juventude at 8pm, at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash promises to be challenging not only due to the opponent, but also due to the adverse weather conditions predicted for the day of the game. According to the website "Clima Tempo", the weather forecast for Wednesday indicates heavy rain throughout the day in Caxias do Sul. The probability of precipitation is high, with an 86% chance, and an accumulated rainfall of 30mm. Temperatures will be between 10°C and 13°C, adding an extra challenge for the teams on the field.

Flamengo has already faced similar situations in Caxias do Sul. The region's climate can be a decisive factor, influencing not only the state of the pitch, but also the dynamics of the game. In the last matches held at Alfredo Jaconi, the weather conditions were not favorable for the Rio team, which needs to prepare for a heavy and possibly slippery game scenario.

FLAMENGO GOES AFTER VICTORY

Preparation for this game should also consider recent weather events in the region. Last Monday (24), it rained hail in Bento Gonçalves, a city close to Caxias do Sul, in Serra Gaúcha. This phenomenon highlights the climate instability that can directly affect team performance and player safety.

For Flamengo, playing in adverse conditions can be a significant test for the team. Heavy rain can make it difficult to move the ball and execute the strategies planned by the coach. Furthermore, the low temperature can influence the physical resistance of players, especially those less accustomed to the colder climate in the south of the country.

David Luiz has been an important player for the Flamengo, standing out both for its technical performance and physical resistance. The 37-year-old defender started Rubro-Negro's last six games, demonstrating enviable consistency. In five of those matches, he remained on the field from start to finish, only being substituted in the last duel against Fluminense due to knee pain.

The veteran defender has shown that he still has a lot to offer Flamengo. His presence on the field goes beyond simple defensive performance; David Luiz contributes significantly to the construction of plays and has even found the back of the opponent's net. The experience acquired throughout his international career has been reflected in the security he transmits to the red and black defense.

A STRONG RISE IN THE LAST SEASON

In recent games, David Luiz not only did well his role in the defense as well as taking on the responsibility of leading the team. His vision of the game and ability to organize the defensive line have been fundamental for Flamengo to maintain defensive consistency. Furthermore, his competitive spirit and determination are clear examples of professionalism for younger players.

Despite his age, David Luiz has demonstrated impressive physical shape. Participating in five complete games in a short period requires exemplary physical preparation. Even in the duel against Fluminense, where he needed to be replaced, the defender showed willingness and commitment until the moment the pain in his knee became unbearable.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) recently released the audio of the communication between the video refereeing team (VAR) and referee Ramon Abatti Abel, referring to a controversial move that occurred during the first half of the game, involving the attacker Pedro and the Amazonas goalkeeper. The decision not to award a penalty generated controversy among fans and sports commentators.

The episode happened when Pedro, shirt 9, advanced towards the goal and was intercepted by the opposing goalkeeper. In a tight contest, the goalkeeper apparently hit Pedro's leg. However, referee Ramon Abatti Abel decided not to award the foul, which caused immediate repercussions.

NOT THERE PENALTY IN PEDRO?
The VAR team, responsible for reviewing doubtful moves, analyzed the incident meticulously. In the published audio, it is possible to hear the communication between the video referees and the field referee. The analysis began with observing the moment the goalkeeper and Pedro collided. "The goalkeeper touches the ball first. The goalkeeper clearly touches the ball first. Go back," said one of the video referees. They requested different camera angles to ensure an accurate assessment. "Okay, the goalkeeper touches the ball, takes the ball away and then he has contact. Give me another angle."

The VAR team continued the review and reaffirmed that the goalkeeper's priority it was the ball. "Ball, ball, ball, and then there's contact due to the fight, for space, for the ball," they added. After this analysis, they concluded that the bid was normal. "Everything checked, normal," concluded the VAR referee.
