This clash promises to be a test of resistance and skill for Flamengo's players, who will have to deal not only with the opponent on the field.
|
0This Wednesday, the Flamengo is preparing for a breathtaking challenge. Not only because of the opponent on the field, but also because of the extreme altitude of La Paz, Bolivia, where they will face Bolívar in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. The clash will take place at the Hernando Siles stadium, located at an impressive 3,600 meters above sea level.
The preparation of the pitch was no less crucial than that of the players. On the eve of the game, special attention was given to watering and mowing the grass, in addition to the traditional Conmebol Libertadores preparation procedures, aiming to ensure the best conditions for the match.
The Flamengo, in turn, adopted a strategy to minimize the impacts of altitude. Arriving in Bolivia on Tuesday night, the players will stay in Santa Cruz de la Sierra until hours before the game, when they will travel to La Paz. The decision aims to allow the athletes to have a shorter period of exposure to extreme altitude.
Despite the relevance of the clash, ticket sales for the match fell short of expectations. Although the available volume was 25 thousand tickets, until last Tuesday less than 4 thousand were sold. Reports of Flamengo fans experiencing difficulties in acquiring tickets were also recorded, including already in Bolivian territory.
With the ball rolling at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo will face Bolívar in search of important points. Currently, Bolívar leads Group E with six points, while Flamengo occupies second place, with four points added.

The scandal shakes not only Corinthians' reputation, but also the confidence of fans

0An earthquake shakes the structures of Corinthians, one of the giants of Brazilian football, with the revelation of a corruption scandal involving its master sponsorship contract. According to investigations conducted by journalist Juca Kfouri, from the "Uol" portal, the agreement with the company Vai De Bet is under serious suspicion of fraudulent activities.
The negotiation, mediated by the company Rede Social Media Design Ltda, triggered the payment of highly suspicious amounts to the São Paulo club. In a short period, Corinthians transferred R$1.4 million to the aforementioned company. However, the final destination of these funds raises serious questions about the legitimacy of the transaction.
Everything indicates that Edna was used as an "orange" in this criminal scheme, possibly without her own knowledge. The suspicion revolves around the misuse of her personal data. Furthermore, Neoway's registered address does not correspond to reality, suggesting yet another layer of fraud.
Internal involvement in Corinthians is also alarming. It was discovered that payments of R$700,000 were authorized by the club's administrative director without the approval of the financial director. This lack of transparency raises serious questions about the financial management of the sports institution.
The performance of Gabigol's advisors was also heavily criticized.

0In recent days, a controversy involving Flamengo striker Gabigol and his advisory team has taken over sporting discussions. The trigger was the accusation made by André Rizek, a renowned sports journalist, who harshly criticized the stance of the player and his staff.
It all started when Gabigol missed a training session with Flamengo. Initially, the justification given by the player and his team was that he was dealing with personal problems. However, this explanation did not convince everyone, and the situation became more complicated when evidence emerged that Gabigol was in a clandestine casino in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro the night before his absence.
On his program, Rizek did not mince words when addressing the incident. “The greatest asset anyone can have is credibility. And this credibility was thrown in the trash can by Gabigol and his staff. It is impossible to understand why they maintained a lie for so long,” declared the journalist. Rizek's speech resonated strongly with fans and sports media, raising questions about the honesty and responsibility of professional athletes.
Rizek's statement ignited a heated debate on social media. Fans and critics of Flamengo were divided between those who defended Gabigol, claiming that personal problems should be treated with more sensitivity, and those who supported Rizek, demanding transparency and professionalism from the player. The main issue revolved around trust and integrity, both of Gabigol and the institution he represents.
