This weekend marked the debut of the Brazilian Championship. In this way, all 19 teams in Series A have already faced each other and some have already been embarrassed in the first round of the competition. This is the case of São Paulo, who lost 2-1 to Fortaleza, at Morumbis, last Saturday (13).


Thus, the defeat increased the pressure on the technical committee and players of the São Paulo team. After the final whistle, defender André Silva lamented the bad result and promised that the team will respond in the match against Flamengo, at Maracanã.


“We will continue working to provide an answer in the next game . Whoever wears the São Paulo shirt has to win and deserve it. Of course we're upset about the defeat at home in the Brazilian's debut, but there's not much to say. It's about working and giving a positive response in the next game”, said André Silva after the 2-1 defeat at Morumbis.


SÃO PAULO TECHNICAL IS "BALANCING IN THE JOB"


For the match against Flamengo, it is likely that Thiago Carpini will reach maximum strength. This is because the coach is wavering in the position of the São Paulo team, not only due to the poor results he had in important matches, such as the Paulista knockout and the debut in the Brasileirão, but also due to the team's performance.

And FLAMENGO?

O Mais Querido started the Brasileirão on the right foot. This is because, in a match marked by refereeing errors and scandals, Rubro-Negro managed to beat Atlético-GO, in Goiânia, by the score of 2 to 1. 

In this way, now the Flamengo squad also focuses on the match against São Paulo. The game will be at Maracanã, next Wednesday (17), at 9:30 pm, for the second round of the Brasileirão.

Vitória ended this Sunday (24) the preparation to face Flamengo , in a game scheduled for this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship . Check out the details of Leão:


RETURNS AND DEFAULTS


Midfielder Willian Oliveira has recovered from a knee injury and is back at the disposal of coach Fábio Carille . Zé Marcos and Ronald are also back after suspensions. Defender Neris will be out of the squad after being sent off against Juventude and is serving an automatic suspension.


The medical department remains full : Claudinho, Cáceres, Jamerson, Baralhas, Rúben Ismael, and Romarinho are still recovering, while Matheuzinho is in physical transition. Given the high number of injuries, Carille named three youngsters from the youth academy: defender Andrei, defensive midfielder Edenilson, and midfielder Wendell.

PROBABLE LINEUP


With the many absences, the tendency is for Vitória to enter the field against Flamengo with: Lucas Arcanjo; Edu (or Lucas Braga), Lucas Halter, Zé Marcos and Ramon; Ricardo Ryller (or Willian Oliveira), Ronald and Cantalapiedra (or Pepê); Erick, Osvaldo and Renato Kayzer.

SITUATION IN THE TABLE

Vitória has 19 points from 20 games and is in the relegation zone of the Brasileirão . During Sunday's training session, the team performed warm-ups, tactical and technical exercises focusing on possession, and defensive set-piece drills. The goalkeepers participated in position-specific drills.

Brazilian football's second transfer window is in its final stretch and closes on September 2. With only ten days remaining, the question fans are asking is: will Flamengo still make new signings or could it lose players ?


REINFORCEMENTS IN THE SEASON


So far, Flamengo has brought in four players this summer: Emerson Royal, Saúl, Carrascal, and Samuel Lino . Previously, during a special period for the Club World Cup, they had already signed midfielder Jorginho. The internal assessment is that the investments were satisfactory, strengthening areas considered lacking and giving Filipe Luís more options.


NEW HIRES?

The board isn't considering the arrival of new players in this final stretch. Some positions are still being monitored: goalkeeper, center-back, and center-forward . However, the football management team, led by executive José Boto, plans to postpone these changes until the end of the season.


  • Goalkeeper: the idea is to hire a replacement for Rossi, as Matheus Cunha has a contract until the end of the year and has a contract with Cruzeiro from 2026.
  • Center forward: This position is being carefully evaluated. Pedro has once again excelled, Wallace Yan has shown improvement, and even without Juninho's emergence, there are alternatives like Bruno Henrique and Plata to improvise.
  • Defender: Considered the biggest need. Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira played practically the entire season without rest. Despite Danilo's recovery and the options available to youngsters João Victor, Cleiton, and even Iago (under-20), the board plans to reinforce the defense only at the end of the year, already anticipating possible departures.
FINAL SCENARIO

With no negotiations underway, Flamengo is unlikely to sign any more players until the window closes . The priority now is the December transfer window, when the club is expected to move primarily to strengthen its defense.
