Last Sunday (17), Flamengo was defeated by São Paulo during the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final. In the middle of Maracanã, Rubro-Negro disappointed countless fans, and now seeks to turn the key in the second leg to win the title. To do this, Mais Querido will need to break a tournament curse. In the history of the competition, only three teams managed to take the cup home after losing the first game: Internacional, Palmeiras and Sport.
In 1992, Internacional was defeated by Fluminense 2-1 in the first game, at Maracanã. At the time, there was still the extinct qualified goal, which benefited whoever scored a goal while visiting. Because of this, the southern club won the cup after beating their Rio rival 1-0, in Porto Alegre. In 2017, the qualified goal rule was used in the Copa do Brasil for the last time.
In the case of Palmeiras, the club achieved this feat twice: in 1998 and in 2015. In the 90s, Palmeiras was defeated by Cruzeiro 1-0. On the way back, they were able to turn things around and won a score of 2-0, taking the title home. In 2015, Palmeiras was defeated 1-0 by Santos in Vila Belmiro, with the only goal in the match being made by Gabigol. However, the green team won 2-1 in São Paulo, and won the cup on penalties.
Finally, in 2008, there was the turnaround with the biggest difference in advantage. In the first game, Corinthians beat Sport 3-1, at Morumbi. In the return game, on Ilha do Retiro, Sport regained focus and obtained a score of 2-0. Due to the deceased qualifying goal criterion, the Pernambuco team obtained its first and only national title in the club's history.
On September 24th, Flamengo will seek to be the fourth team to win the Copa do Brasil after losing the first game. The decisive game takes place at 4pm (Brasília time), at Morumbi, in São Paulo. Considering the result of the first game, which ended 1-0 for São Paulo, the rival club has an advantage in the second leg. If Rubro-Negro wins, they will be champions of the competition for two years in a row.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.
Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.
If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.
Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.
After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
A significant reduction in payroll following the departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran helps Mais Querido maintain financial stability.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.
The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.
One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
After achieving the biggest victory in the points era, beating Vitória 8-0, the isolated leader of the Brasileirão returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the competition.
