Flamengo faced Corinthians on Saturday night (7), at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo and was left with a 1-1 draw. Gerson, who scored the great goal from outside the area, left the field in pain and became a concern at Rubro Negro on the eve of the FIFA Date.

The midfielder opened the scoring in the clash with Corinthians eight minutes into the second half. Shortly after finding the net, the player had to be replaced from the field after feeling pain in his left foot. Therefore, the player can miss training for the Brazilian team.

It is worth remembering that Flamengo will have 12 days free from games until the next match, in which they face Cruzeiro, on October 19, in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. During this interval, the expectation is that Tite will arrive at Ninho do Urubu to take over command of Rubro Negro.

Gerson must be re-evaluated to find out the severity of the problem. The midfielder was called up by Fernando Diniz to represent Brazil against Venezuela and Uruguay. Flamengo will also have the absence of Arrascaeta and Erick Pulgar who were also called up by their respective teams.


Therefore, with the break for Data Fifa and without Gerson, Arrascaeta and Pulgar, the new coach of Mais Querido will have to lead the team with absences. However, he will have 12 days free to get to know the squad and implement his style of play before his next appointment.

With Flamengo's defeat to Peñarol in the Libertadores, it was necessary to bear the nuances of a winner who was not content with victory on the field, but needed to celebrate away from home, almost provoking the locals. The Uruguayan team left the locker room with lots of celebration, laughter and music.

The Peñarol players passed through the Maracanã mixed zone with a speaker playing Uruguayan music. The athletes were happy and smiling. But some even passed by, looking at the Brazilian journalists with a sideways smile, in an air of mockery while the music played.


The party was led by defender Guzmán Rodríguez, who passed by holding the speaker . It was the athlete who gave some ironic looks to the journalists, unable to contain his happiness at beating Flamengo 1-0 last Thursday night (19).


After passing through the mixed zone, some Uruguayan players took the wrong path and went straight ahead instead of returning behind the banners towards the visiting bus. Stadium security had to prevent them from going to the restaurant area, where Flamengo had dinner after the match.

Flamengo needs to turn away from home

After the 1-0 defeat, it's up to Flamengo to turn things around away from home. Rubro-Negro dreams of a fourth championship, and to do so, they need to reach the semifinals by eliminating Peñarol. If you win by a goal difference, the decision will go to penalties. To qualify directly, Mengão needs to win by two or more goals, waiting for Botafogo or São Paulo in the next phase.

With the defeat, Flamengo saw its positive record fall when playing as home team in the World Cup Liberators. There were 28 unbeaten games, chasing Boca Juniors' record. Furthermore, there were 17 consecutive victories, needing just two to equal El Nacional.

At 33 years old, Alex Sandro also felt the weight of physical exhaustion after the run of two consecutive games. After four months of inactivity, the full-back started two consecutive matches, which ended up taking its toll. In the 16th minute of the second half, he was replaced by Ayrton Lucas, showing signs of tiredness.

The player's physical condition raises doubts about his participation in the next match Flamengo, valid for the Brazilian Championship. On Sunday (22), the team will face Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). Given Alex Sandro's obvious wear and tear, it is possible that coach Jorge Sampaoli will choose to preserve the athlete for the decisive game against Peñarol, next week. The player's physical preservation can be fundamental for him to be in full condition in the second leg of the Libertadores.


A ACCELERATED ADAPTATION 

Flamengo is now finds himself in a delicate situation at Libertadores. With the defeat at Maracanã, the team will need to reverse the result in Montevideo to guarantee classification for the next phase of the competition. Despite the setback, Alex Sandro believes that Flamengo has all the conditions to beat Peñarol in Uruguay. According to him, the team has experienced players who know how to deal with the pressure and the hostile environment they will find at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium.

"We know it will be a difficult game, but Flamengo We have a qualified squad. We have experienced players, used to this type of situation. We are going there with confidence that we can turn the score around and advance in the competition", commented the full-back. Coach Tite will also need to make adjustments to the team for the second leg. The expectation is that Flamengo will enter the field with a more aggressive stance, seeking to control the game from the beginning and avoid the mistakes that cost them victory in the first duel. The team will not be able to repeat the passivity shown at Maracanã, at the risk of being eliminated from the Libertadores early.
