LAST SUNDAY'S CLASSIC BETWEEN FLAMENGO

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.

Flamengo and Fluminense met at completely different times last Sunday (23). While Mengão is at the top of the Brasileirão, their rival is at the bottom of the table. Predicting the stance that the opponent would adopt on the field, Rubro-Negro's physical trainer, Fábio Mahseredjian, warned the players.

"All of you, in your career, have gone through difficult times within your teams You know how it comes from the other side. But we work hard too. And that's taking care of us. The three points keep us in the lead. , he said.

Taking into consideration Fábio Mahseredjian's advice, Flamengo 'shrugged' ' due to their rival's bad phase, they entered the field dictating the rhythm of the classic and, not surprisingly, won 1-0. It is worth mentioning that the 'skinny' score did not reflect Fla-Flu, where the red-black team finished 14 times, having four clear chances of goals. Meanwhile, the tricolor team didn't even have a great chance to find the net.

The victory over Fluminense allowed Flamengo to maintain its lead in the Brasileirão, and it sank. the rival in the relegation zone for good. At the moment, Mengão has 24 points and 11 positive results in the national tournament. On the other hand, the Tricolor team has only won one victory and six in points.

After winning. In the 11th round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo now turns its attention to the next match. This is because, this Wednesday (26), Mengão faces Juventude, in the 12th round of the national competition for straight points. The ball starts at 8pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
