GOOD NEWS! FLAMENGO MAY HAVE REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE DUEL AGAINST BAHIA

The Brazilian team finally "debuted" in the Copa América on Friday night. If in the goalless draw with Costa Rica Brazil fell behind, at the Allegiant Stadium, in Las Vegas, Dorival Júnior's men thrashed Paraguay 4-1. Highlight for Flamengo's 'Cria' Vini Jr., who scored twice and was the best on the field. Savinho, new to the lineup, and Paquetá, who also missed a penalty, closed the scoring. SUMMARY

Paraguay managed to play a tough game against Brazil , including giving Alisson trouble with shots from outside the area. But it was nothing more than a mirage in the Las Vegas desert. After 30 minutes, the Seleção took control of the match. Paquetá missed a penalty at 31, but Vini Jr. opened the scoring at 34; Savinho added another at 42, and Vini Jr. added another at 49. The game already seemed resolved, but Alderete, who had missed one of the goals, hit a shot on the way back from the break and reduced the score. But it was nothing more than a scare. Dorival Júnior's team continued to control the action in the second half, turning the score into a rout with a penalty goal from Paquetá at 19 and only managing in the final minutes, especially with the numerical advantage after Cubas' (rigorous) expulsion in a move with Douglas Luiz.

It's worth remembering that Flamengo was represented not only by Vini and Paquetá. João Gomes had an excellent game and Andreas Pereira, who came on in the second half, gave a good rhythm to the game. Therefore, 4 former red-blacks were at the Allegiant Stadium this Friday.

The victory sent the Brazilian classification to the quarterfinals Copa América final. With four points, the Seleção will play for a draw in the last round to secure their place, but could still finish as leader of Group D if they beat Colombia, which has six. Paraguay, last placed with zero points, is already eliminated.

Flamengo agreed to loan 20-year-old striker Petterson to Estrela Vermelha, from Portugal. The contract is valid until the end of June 2025. The information was released by the "GE" portal.

The agreement between Flamengo and Estrela Vermelha includes a purchase option at the end of the loan period. If the Portuguese club wishes to acquire the striker permanently, it must pay 750 thousand euros (approximately R$4.4 million) to Flamengo for 60% of the player's economic rights.

PASSAGE TO ATHLETICO-PR

Petterson was on loan to Athletico-PR until the end of the season, with economic rights set at three million euros (around R$16 millions). However, the striker was removed for disciplinary reasons and ended up no longer being used by the club from Paraná. During his time at Athletico-PR, Petterson played just 32 minutes and scored one goal.

Outside the plans of both Flamengo and Athletico-PR, Petterson had to look for a new destination. Flamengo collaborated to prevent the player from training separately until the end of the contract and found an opportunity to negotiate him with Estrela Vermelha, from Portugal.
