In the match against Athletico Paranaense, Flamengosaw one of its young talents shine once again. Evertton Araújo, the team's midfielder, made the difference on the field and was a key player in the team's victory. He not only had a confident performance, but also scored a decisive goal in the final minutes, guaranteeing the positive result.

At every opportunity, Evertton Araújo has shown that he is prepared to take on greater responsibilities within the squad. Since his debut, the midfielder has gained the trust of the coaching staff and fans. The performance against Athletico reinforces this growth trajectory, demonstrating maturity and ability to perform in moments of pressure.

Whenever he is called to the field, Evertton has shown regularity in his performance. Whether marking or supporting the attack, the player manages to maintain a consistent level of play, which is rare for such a young athlete. In the match in question, this was evident on several occasions, especially in plays where he managed to neutralize the opponent's advances and quickly transform defense into attack.

In addition, his ability to position and read the game allows him to cover spaces well and offer protection to the defense, something fundamental in Flamengo. The goal he scored in the last minute crowned a safe and effective performance, showing that, in addition to contributing defensively, Evertton also has an offensive presence when necessary.

Since moving up to the first team, Evertton has taken advantage of every chance to to evolve. His career at the club is marked by dedication and commitment to improving his football. He went through all of Flamengo's youth categories, where he always stood out, until reaching the main squad. This training process in Flamengo's youth categories is known for being demanding, which further reinforces Evertton's merit in gaining their place. He has been working hard in training and making the most of his opportunities on the field. The result is an increasingly complete athlete, who knows how to balance physical strength, tactical intelligence and technique with the ball.

After Flamengo's defeat to Grêmio this Sunday (22), David Luiz gave an interview on the way out of the field and regretted that the team had not emerged victorious despite having dominated almost the entire match.

“Without a doubt. I'm more frustrated by the result, by the boys' delivery. Suddenly this opportunity arose, they work hard, how dedicated they were, even with one man less. We tried at all costs to win the match, we had opportunities to do so, we had the control to do so, I think they created much less than us, despite being effective. So it's this frustration, the frustration that today could be a great opportunity for us to win the three points here and show the strength of the squad”, began the defender.

Throughout the game, Mais Querido had 56% ball possession and shot at the opponent's goal 18 times, compared to Grêmio's 13 shots. The midfield even created great chances with Matheus Gonçalves, Lorran and Alcaraz, but they were unable to achieve them.

“Flamengo is Flamengo, we have to prioritize all competitions. Within the daily analysis of tiredness, of all things, of who is ready to play. But I think the group responded well today to the level of quality. There's a little lack of rapport, a little more rhythm in the game for many, but here's the dedication, the race, and as long as we have the opportunity to fight up there, we have to fight, we don't have to take anything for granted”, he said, before completing:

“Football changes very quickly, last year showed this a lot, and if we had scored more in the last rounds of last year, we could have won the title. So it’s about fighting until the end.”

Grêmio beat Flamengo by the score of 3 to 2 on Sunday night (22), in the 27th round of the Brasileirão. With a game dominated by Mais Querido, the team from Rio Grande do Sul took advantage of the chances they had and made them happen. Furthermore, the Grêmio team managed to get Carlinhos expelled, which will make Rubro-Negro absent in the next match.

Carlinhos was sent off 12 minutes into the second half in a move involving the athlete and Kannemann. For the refereeing of the confrontation, the red-black attacker allegedly attacked the Grêmio defender, without contesting the ball. Thus, the player received a straight red card.

Thus, Carlinhos will miss Flamengo in the match against Athletico-PR, valid for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The game will be on September 29th, at 8pm, at Maracanã.

Carlinhos started the match against Grêmio among the 11 starters. However, the attacker was unable to take advantage of the chance given by Tite. In addition to the expulsion, which left Mais Querido with one player less for 30 minutes, the attacker missed clear chances of goal.

Now , the Flamengo squad focuses on the big decision against Peñarol, in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. Mais Querido returns to the field next Thursday (26), at 7pm, in Uruguay. Remembering that Rubro-Negro needs to reverse the 1-0 score to qualify for the semi-finals.
