After Flamengo went through troubled times in recent weeks, qualifying for the final of the Copa do Brasil seems to have calmed the spirits of the Mais Querido squad. On the night of this Thursday (17) the Uruguayan star, De Arrascaeta, had a barbecue at his house and invited some players from the squad. One of the guests was striker Gabigol.
In his social networks, Gabigol published a photo of Arrascaeta next to the barbecue and thanked the Uruguayan for the invitation: “Thanks a lot, Arrascaeta”, wrote the number 10. With the published photo, it is not possible to know if other players participated in the meeting, but Arrascaeta extended the invitation.
In Gerson's post with an apology for the lateral Guilhermo Varela, Giorgian commented with an invitation to the midfielder: “Dá- tell you, daddy, that the barbecue is ready. Arrive soon, Cura (from 'joker')”, published Flamengo's number 14 shirt. Coritiba, on Sunday (20). The game will be at 16:00.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
With the arrival of his Uruguayan compatriot, the midfielder, an idol of Fla fans, runs the risk of losing space on the field

Nicolás de la Cruz is the newest member of Flamengo's squad. The Uruguayan player is already preparing to present himself to coach Tite on January 8th, together with his teammates, on the day he 'returns from vacation'. The Red-Negra Nation is in euphoria with the prospect of seeing the former River Plate (ARG) with the Sacred Mantle, but his arrival could disrupt the life of one of the fans' idols.
One of the One thing the Flameguista should note is that, even though the reality where Arrascaeta and De La Cruz are on the same team is incredible, it could result in some complications for the Fla idol. The two occupy the position of midfielders, which makes it difficult to design with both at the coach's disposal.
Since arriving at Mengão, Tite has applied a positional attack at Flamengo, just as he did for the Brazilian team between 2018 and 2022. The formation he chooses to use for this is 3-2-5. In this way, a full-back acts as a "third defender" when passing the ball, opening the field with two fast wingers and dribblers.
De La Cruz may even be good playing on both sides, but he is not known Due to his speed, unlike Everton Ribeiro and Luiz Araújo, he could not 'replace' them.
The other option would be to use Nicolás as a 'playmaker'. During his career, the coach has already used socks as a winger. One of the most successful examples is perhaps Jadson, at Corinthians, in 2015. In these cases, he would let the star work more freely, placing the 'runner' to act in the middle.
Another option would be to place it in the steering wheel position. Gerson and Pulgar already do this job, when Arrascaeta is also on the field, but even Thiago Maia has already had the opportunity to do the job, and could compete for the spot. In this formation, De La Cruz would be more of an articulator than a finisher. At times, the player would have the freedom to invade the area, but the priority would be to help the ball out, as the current duo of midfielders does.
This formation, however, is unlikely. Therefore, the person most at risk is Arrascaeta himself. The two share more characteristics, which would lead to a dispute for the attacking position within the squad. Tite would hardly be able to place the River player in any position other than that of the fans' idol.
