Gabigol and Pedro are the references of Flamengo's attack. The dilemma of the duo's performance as starters has been going on since 2020, but gained a new chapter in Jorge Sampaoli's last games.


In principle, since Argentino arrived at Flamengo, the duo scored only four of the 17 goals scored in the last 10 games. In this section, Pedro and Gabigol participated in 29% of Flamengo's goals. The number 9 scored against Grêmio and Vasco, while the number 10 found the net against Fluminense and Ñublense. It is worth noting that the duo has not played together as a starter since the draw with Cruzeiro, a month ago.


The performance decreased precisely when Sampaoli started to opt for the lineup of just one center forward. Against Fluminense, Gabi was a starter while Pedro was not used. Since then, the two have not acted together as starters.

A standout goalkeeper for Flamengo over the last two seasons, goalkeeper Augustín Rossi has pleased a good portion of the red-black fans, in addition to attracting the attention of other teams. Thus, the board of directors of Mais Querido decided to start talks to renew the goalkeeper's contract.


According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, Rossi's agents and Flamengo's board of directors have begun talks to renew the goalkeeper's contract. In addition, a meeting between the parties to discuss the matter has already been confirmed.


OTHER CLUBS WATCHING ROSSI


Rossi arrived at Flamengo in 2023, when the Mais Querido closed the permanent signing of the goalkeeper after he left Al Nassr, from Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore, Rossi made it clear internally that he has no desire to leave Flamengo. Last Thursday (8), the goalkeeper was the victim of an attempted robbery and had his car shot at, but he informed the board of directors of Mais Querido that he is fine and does not wish to look for another team.


FOCUS ON THE NEXT COMMITMENT

Thus, with Rossi available, Flamengo continues to prepare for the match against Bahia, this Saturday (10), at 9 pm, at Maracanã. The match will be valid for the eighth round of the Brasileirão.
