Flamengo entered the field on Saturday afternoon and had to face two opponents. The first was the classic against Fluminense, and the second, the strong heat it makes in Rio de Janeiro. In this sense, the team of Philip Luís was at 0x0 against the orange triolor, in a very weak game technically and did not please the fans who went to Maracanã. /P>


It was a first half below technically than both teams can do. Flamengo, which had the most ball (60% against 40%) could have taken danger after 13 minutes, but Plata advanced the ball in the area. At 20, Ayrton Lucas won divided with Guga, but took a long time to release the ball. When he crossed low, he saw Hercules away. Fluminense could also scare at 27, when Cano received a great release from Hercules, but he came to cross and not for the goal. The best chance of the game was at 34, a header of Bruno Henrique that passed close to the post. And at 47, Wesley took a leftover in the area and filled the foot, but Hercules blocked. During the first stage, many players fell out on the field. There were some confusions, and Pulgar and Arias took yellow. . Even with the coaches changes, the scenario was with Flamengo taking more the initiative and Fluminense leaving the counterattacks. But neither Fabio nor Rossi really had a lot of work to do. This until 43 minutes, when Fabio defended a beautiful chives header, but in the end, zero did not leave the score in Maracanã.



now?

With the draw, Flamengo went to 14 points and is provisionally in the runner-up of Carioca. This is because Vasco and Botafogo Aidna play in the round and in case of victory, surpass the red-black.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.


WHAT DELAYED THE DELIVERY?


The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.


At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.

Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.


PREMIERE FORECAST

The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.


At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.


HOW WAS THE DEBT PAID?


To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .

By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.


FOCUS ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
