Cruzeiro's football CEO, Alexandre Mattos has been working hard for the club to obtain major reinforcements in the market. With the financial power of the club's new SAF, the director could disrupt Flamengo's plans.

Mengão has been a protagonist in the football market and wants big signings for the next transfer window. One of them is midfielder Walace, but Mattos can take him to Raposa. According to information from Itatiaia, Alexandre Mattos, CEO of Cruzeiro, travels to Italy with midfielders Matheus Henrique and Walace. The second name was sought by Mengão recently according to Coluna do Fla.


The manager's idea is to close a deal with Sassuolo for Matheus Henrique and also seek information from Udinese about Walace. Flamengo has been talking to the midfielder for a few years.


Recently, Rubro-Negro resumed talks to close with the midfielder. The Italian club does not intend to facilitate the departure of the player, who is the team's captain and absolute starter. The game promises to be tough.

The Europeans want to receive 8 million euros (R$ 46.4 million). Corinthians also dream of Wallace. However, the player gives preference to Rubro-Negro, the family's favorite team, as brought by Coluna.

Flamengo, who disappointed their fans last Thursday (26) by being eliminated from the Libertadores da América 2024, is now back training at Ninho do Urubu. Without the right to take a day off on Friday (27), the squad returned to Rio de Janeiro and reappeared at 3pm, with the start of activities aimed at the next commitment in the Brazilian Championship.

The team led by Tite now needs " turn the key" and focus their attention on the two remaining competitions: the Brasileirão and the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The initial focus will be the duel against Athletico-PR, which takes place next Sunday (29), at 8pm, at Maracanã, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.


PREPARATION FOR THE BRASILEIRÃO

The clash against Athletico-PR will be crucial for Mais Querido, which seeks to consolidate its position among the top four in the table and guarantee a direct place in the next edition of the Libertadores. The technical committee has already indicated that it intends to use maximum force in the confrontation, as the team needs to recover important points in the final stretch of the competition.

In addition, Rubro-Negro also maintains expectations for the semi-final of the World Cup of Brazil, where they face Corinthians. With the early elimination in the Libertadores, Mengão sees the national tournament as an opportunity to close the season with an impressive title.


ELIMINATION IN THE LIBERTADORES

Flamengo even tried, but failed to break through Peñarol's defense in the second leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The Rio team dominated possession of the ball, 74% of the time, and made 13 shots, but none of them resulted in a goal. In this way, Peñarol secured its classification with an aggregate score of 1-0, after winning the first game at Maracanã.


Despite the pressure and volume of play presented in Uruguay, CRF was unable to transform their chances at goals, ending the match without being able to take the decision to penalties. The elimination leaves a bitter taste for the red and black fans, who expected a better performance from the team in the continental competition.

Flamengo failed to achieve the long-awaited "miracle of Montevideo" and was eliminated from the Libertadores. Rubro-Negro drew 0-0 with Peñarol, but ended up out of the competition due to a 1-0 defeat at Maracanã. Shortly after the end of the match at Campeón del Siglo, commentator Zinho highlighted coach Tite's responsibility, but also criticized the squad.

“Incompetence of Flamengo. They had ninety minutes to create, organize, they have a better squad, with greater investment, and they didn't turn that into superiority on the field. The coach is partly to blame, but so are the players. Tite looked for solutions, made changes, even had good ideas in the entries. But when we looked at the field, it was a mess”, said Zinho on ESPN.


In the opinion of the former Mais Querido player, both Arrascaeta and Nicolás de la Cruz did not appear in the match. As a result, Flamengo missed the "genius" of the Uruguayans this Thursday night (26).

“There was disorganization in the team, which played better in the first half. There was a lack of a center forward. Flamengo fit into Peñarol's marking. He tried to achieve the result based on will, and not on the organization. De La Cruz and Arrascaeta did not play today. They ran, they dedicated themselves, but I'm talking about technical quality”, he pointed out.

After elimination, Flamengo becomes the key to the Brasileirão

Now, Flamengo focuses its attention on the Brazilian Championship, trying to stay in the G-4. The next challenge will be against Athletico-PR, this Sunday (29), at 8pm, at Maracanã. This will be the first time that Tite will meet the fans again after his first elimination at the helm of the team.

Forward Michael returned to Flamengoin this transfer window after a three-year spell at Al Hilal, in Saudi Arabia . Although he completed his return to Rubro-Negro, the player initially showed interest in playing for Cruzeiro. The information was revealed by Alexandre Mattos, CEO of the celestial club, during an interview with columnist Jaeci Carvalho, from the newspaper Estado de Minas, on Monday, September 2nd.

WISH TO PLAY FOR CRUZEIRO COMES UP TO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

According to Mattos, Michael wanted to wear the Cruzeiro shirt, but negotiations did not progress due to the club's financial situation miner. “Michael wanted it, of course… The manager is the same as Matheus Pereira. Of course there was a survey on both sides. Cruzeiro is now seen as a good payer. Everyone wants to come here. Michael wanted it”, stated the CEO.


However, Mattos highlighted that the amounts involved in the hiring were beyond what Cruzeiro could afford at the moment. “But these are values ​​that deviate from Cruzeiro’s current reality. Who knows, maybe in the future, with the club more balanced and debts paid, we can think about it”, he added.



CAREER MANAGED BY THE SAME BUSINESSMAN AS MATHEUS PEREIRA

Michael's career is managed by Eduardo Maluf, the same manager as Matheus Pereira, Cruzeiro's current number 10. During his time at Al Hilal, Michael and Pereira played together, which strengthened the bond between the two players and generated expectations about a possible reunion at the Minas Gerais club.


MICHAEL AS CRUZEIRO'S "CHERRY ON THE CAKE"

Michael has been on Cruzeiro's radar since the beginning of businessman Pedro Lourenço's management, who acquired SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol) of the club in April. The intention was for the striker to be the team's "icing on the cake" for the second half. However, the negotiations did not progress beyond the initial interest, leading the player to opt to return to Flamengo.
