Despite having won the match, Rubro-Negro was heavily criticized for its poor performance
|
On Wednesday night (1), Flamengo beat Amazonas, by a score of 1-0, in the first leg of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. However, Mais Querido had chances to increase the score, but failed due to a lack of accuracy in the last pass and more shots on target. Furthermore, Tite was harshly criticized for the team's way of playing.
Commentator Lédio Carmona harshly criticized the team's formation Flamengo in the second half of the match against Amazonas . Lédio said that the formation with four attackers was a bad choice.
"What we are sure of is that Flamengo is playing poorly. Once again Flamengo plays a very poor game offensively. Very poor offensively What's the point of putting 4 attackers if there's no movement, if the midfielders don't show up?", said Lédio Carmona, on SporTV/Premiere.
CRITICISM OF TITEIn addition to the commentator, the red and black fans were very critical of the team's formation. Despite having four attackers on the field, as Gabigol entered in the second half, Flamengo managed to finish on Amazonas' goal a few times, as the midfield encountered some difficulties. After the match, the fans present at Maracanã booed the Mais Querido commander.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT MATCHNow, the Mais Querido squad focuses on the match against Red Bull Bragantino. The game will be next Saturday (4), at 6:30 pm, in Bragança Paulista. The confrontation will be valid for the fifth round of the Brasileirão.
Shirt 14 is being monitored by the Medical Department

Flamengo continues to wait for the return of Arrascaeta, who has been sidelined since August 18th, when he suffered an injury to his left thigh. The number 14 is being monitored by the club's Medical Department and his return to the field is still uncertain for the decisive clash against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The game will take place on September 12th, at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã.
Arrascaeta has not yet started the transition phase to the field, remaining under the care of Flamengo's medical department. With less than a week to go until the match, the club is racing against time to count on the return of the Uruguayan star. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the player is in the final stage of recovery and there is an expectation that he will begin the physical transition next Monday (09).
IMPACT OF INJURIES IN THE SECOND HALF
An undisputed starter at Flamengo and frequently called up for the Uruguayan national team, Arrascaeta has faced physical problems throughout the seasons, especially in the second half, when the calendar becomes more intense. Since 2019, the midfielder has suffered 70% of his injuries after June, totaling 20 absences for Flamengo, 14 of them from that period.
In the first match of the quarter-finals against Bahia, Flamengo won 1-0 away from home, with a goal from Bruno Henrique. With this result, Rubro-Negro can even draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semifinals. The team hopes to count on Arrascaeta, but is also preparing alternatives to make up for his possible absence.
Flamengo still has some doubts for the clash, but the likely lineup has names like: Rossi, Wesley (Varela), Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar (Léo Ortiz), Allan, Gerson, Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Gabigol (Arrascaeta).
Philadelphia Eagles beat Green Bay Packers 34-29 at Neo Química Arena

Friday (6) marked a historic moment for American football fans in Brazil. For the first time, the NFL held an official game in the country, pitting the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers teams against each other. The event, which took place at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo, celebrated the expansion of the American league into Brazilian territory.
The Philadelphia Eagles emerged victorious in the duel against the Green Bay Packers, with a thrilling 34-29 comeback, being the first team to triumph on Brazilian soil in an official NFL game.
Among the highlights of the event, Eagles player C.J. Gardner-Johnson took advantage of the post-game moment to interact with fans and, in a symbolic gesture, received a Flamengo Imperadores shirt, a team from American football linked to the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.
The history of Flamengo in American football began on May 17, 2013, when the club signed a partnership with the Imperadores team, resulting in the creation of Flamengo Futebol Americano. Since then, the red-black club has stood out on the national sports scene. In 2017, the team adopted the name Flamengo Imperadores, consolidating itself as one of the great forces of American football in Brazil.
In 2018, Flamengo Imperadores won the Carioca American Football Championship, beating Vasco in the final and asserting its supremacy in the sport in the state.
In addition to seeking supremacy in American football, Flamengo continues its successful campaign in field football. The club is in contention for the three main titles of the season: Copa do Brasil, Libertadores and Campeonato Brasileiro. The team's next commitment is for the Copa do Brasil, where they will face Bahia in the quarter-finals, on Thursday (12), at Maracanã.

Rubro-Negro's shirt number 11 is the top scorer in the history of the competition, with 14 goals. It is the second time that the star will participate in the Olympic coverage.

Next Thursday (25), Cristiane will make her debut, in the match between Brazil and Nigeria, in Group C, which also includes Spain and Japan. The athlete celebrated the opportunity to be part of the broadcasts of the games.
“It is always a special and unique moment to be part of the Globo team of commentators. These experiences are moments of learning and maturity. Like all Brazilians, I'm rooting for the Seleção in Paris and I'm sure they will be great games”, commented the Mengão star.
Going through a great phase at Mais Querido in 2024, with 16 goals in 19 games, the striker's absence from the squad was a surprise for many, including the 39-year-old veteran. On July 5th, the Flamengo center forward made a post on her Instagram profile, venting about not being called up, but also wishing good energy to the Brazilian Women's Team, in search of an unprecedented Olympic gold.
