ATTENTION! TITE CHANGES STRATEGY AND MAKES A CHANGE IN FLAMENGO'S LINEUP FOR THE DUEL AGAINST MILLONARIO

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.

Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.

Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.

So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.

"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.

In addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.

"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:

"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.

So, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.

The cast of Flamengo entered the decisive week and continues the preparation for the clash against Millonarios, which will be this Tuesday (28). Focusing on the last round of the Libertadores group stage, Tite leads a decisive training session this Monday (27).

The coach of Mais Queridowill need to resolve two doubts regarding the team he will send to face Millonarios: Erick Pulgar and Bruno Henrique. This is because the midfielder and striker trained normally in the last two days, but both are in different situations.

About to return against Amazonas, Erick Pulgar was left out of the team list at the last minute for not reaching 100% match fitness. Therefore, with another period of training during the rest of the week, the midfielder is a sure presence for this Tuesday's clash (28). However, it is still uncertain whether he will start as a starter or on the bench.

Remember that Allan has taken Pulgar's place in the main team and has won praise from Tite and the coaching staff. This way, it is possible that the midfielder remains as starter and that Erick enters during the match.

In this way, with everyone at his disposal, Tite commands this Monday Monday (27th) the squad's last training session before facing Millonarios. O Mais Querido enters the field this Tuesday (28), at 9pm, at Maracanã, for the last round of the Libertadores group stage.
