Last Wednesday, November 1st, Flamengo faced Santos at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, in a clash that ended in a defeat for the Rio team. In addition to the negative result, Flamengo will face its next game without one of its main players, midfielder Gerson, who was sent off in the first half of the match. Gerson's expulsion generated controversy and discussions around the interpretation of the game's rules and the use of VAR.
The refereeing commentator, Leonardo Gaciba, expressed his opinion on the move that culminated in the red card for the red-and-black player. Gaciba highlighted that, in his analysis, Gerson's action should not be considered an aggression. He emphasized that, according to the rules, the action of a player that puts the physical integrity of his opponent at risk must result in a red card, while if the action does not pose a risk, it must result in a yellow card.
"It wasn't an attack. There is a part of the forearm, but for me there is no elbow, I don't see a trigger (...) The rule says that putting the opponent's physical integrity at risk is a red card. No taking it at risk is yellow. That's the big difference. If you think that Gerson didn't take into account that he could hurt you, he has to get a yellow card. If you think that with that attitude he put his opponent at risk, it's red," declared Gaciba on an ESPN program.
The commentator also emphasized the importance of respecting the field referee's interpretation, since, in his opinion, plays like this are situations in which the referee's decision in field must prevail over the VAR's interpretation. Gaciba highlighted that, in ambiguous cases, such as Gerson's, the referee's interpretation on the field must be valued and respected. Gerson was sent off in the 42nd minute of the first half, after a dispute with Santos striker Julio Furch. The match was stopped by the field referee, and the VAR intervened in the play, resulting in the expulsion of the Flamengo player.
From that moment on, the Rio team had to play with one less player throughout the entire match. final stage of the game. This expulsion has significant implications for Flamengo's next game. Gerson will be suspended and will not be able to participate in the match against Fortaleza, scheduled for next Sunday, November 5th, at 4pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. The clash is part of the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship, and Gerson's absence will certainly be felt by the red and black team.

In a post on Instagram, the mayor informed that the city hall will be responsible for removing the megastructure on the gas meter site, different from what was reported. Furthermore, he guaranteed that Flamengo will have its new stadium, with the best conditions and security.
The news published by Ancelmo informs that Flamengo would have to pay R$100 million to remove a large gas structure present on land acquired by the club, which is owned by CEG and CEG-Rio, which are companies that are part of the gas concessionaire Naturgy.
According to the article, the companies were informed that Flamengo is the responsible for bearing the expenses, as provided for in one of the annexes to the land purchase and transfer contract. The clause, however, does not have a specified limit.

Tite, current coach of Flamengo, was direct when commenting on the tight calendar of Brazilian football and the idea of sparing players amid the intense sequence of games. In a recent interview, he spared no criticism of the current competition model in the country and made it clear that, contrary to what many suggest, he has no intention of arbitrarily preserving players in decisive moments.
Tite's main criticism revolves around the excess of games throughout the season. The Brazilian calendar is historically tight, with competitions such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Libertadores, and, in years of the World Cup or Copa América, there is still the weight of international team tournaments. This scenario means that clubs, especially the big ones, have to deal with an exorbitant number of matches in a short space of time, which increases the wear and tear on players and, consequently, the risk of injuries.
However, despite this situation, the coach made it clear that it is not in his plans to adopt a strategy of rotating players indiscriminately. "No one spares", said Tite, in response to suggestions that Flamengocould rest its main athletes in some games. He highlighted that sparing athletes without a clear justification, just with the intention of preserving the squad, would be a risky attitude, especially considering the pressure for immediate results in a club of Flamengo's magnitude.
Tite was also emphatic when explaining that, when making decisions about the lineup, he takes into account several factors, including the physical condition of the athletes, the importance of the match and the team's long-term planning. "Am I going to save my job? Put my job at risk?", joked the coach, highlighting that, in a club with pressure and expectations like Flamengo, a bad result can be costly, including a coach's position.
The Brazilian football calendar is one of the most intense in the world. While in many European countries clubs play, on average, between 45 and 50 matches per season, in Brazil this number easily exceeds 70, considering all competitions. Furthermore, long trips between states, climate variations and the difference in the quality of lawns contribute to the wear and tear of athletes.
