It's worth remembering that Grêmio is only playing the Brasileirão. This is because the team from Rio Grande do Sul was eliminated from the Libertadores, by Fluminense and from the Copa do Brasil, by Corinthians.

Flamengo will have a commitment before facing Grêmio . The Mais Querido faces Peñarol, on Thursday (19), in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. The red and black squad will have two more training sessions before the clash.

So, Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this coming Sunday (22), in a game valid for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The clash will start at 6:30 pm, in Porto Alegre.

Gabigol's contract is nearing the end and the draft is getting smaller and smaller. In this way, the striker once again became a topic on sports programs and for commentator Rodrigo Mattos, the number 99 does not deserve more time on the field than he has received.

This is because, in the draw in last Sunday's classic (15), Carlinhos was chosen by Tite to replace Bruno Henrique, making it clear that, at this moment, Gabigol is the red-black's third option. 

"The most important thing is not that Gabigol is happy, it is that Flamengo is happy with the level of Gabigol's performances. And I think that neither Flamengo nor any fans are satisfied. It's not possible to put it into account the lack of rhythm, of minutes. He's had a zillion chances, he comes in and doesn't produce anything, he never gains rhythm. Then, it's always this thing of giving continuity. , said Rodrigo Mattos on 'Uol'.

Soon afterwards, Renato Maurício Prado disagreed with Rodrigo's opinion: “I agree that Gabigol is not delivering anything, but I think Tite should have put him as a center forward instead of Pedro. Two, three games, give it a chance. He only replaces Arrascaeta, he has nothing to do with that position. Putting Carlinhos in front of him, no matter how bad he is, is absurd to me. In fact, the entire Maracanã thought that (against Vasco)”, he commented.

Gabigol's last goal for Flamengo was on July 20th, for the Brasileirão. Therefore, with Pedro's injury, the number 99 will have to reestablish himself to score again for Rubro-Negro.

It is worth remembering that the striker's contract with Rubro-Negro ends on December 31st . Thus, Gabigol only has three more months to complete his stay at Mais Querido with a "golden key".

Fulham (ING) hosted West Ham (ING) this Saturday morning (14), in a game valid for the fourth round of the Premier League. The confrontation brought together Brazilians and former Flamengo Andreas Pereira and Lucas Paquetá, who performed a curious move when Paquetá landed a light elbow at his teammate.

The incident occurred in the 21st minute of the second half, when Andreas Pereira tried to hit Paquetá in midfield. To avoid dribbling, Paquetá made a foul by hitting Andreas with a slight elbow.

Referee Tim Robinson signaled the foul, but chose not to show it yellow card to Lucas Paquetá, who remained on the field until the end of the match. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Andreas Pereira's Fulham are now preparing to face Preston on September 17 , for the FA Cup. Lucas Paquetá's West Ham will only return to the field on September 21st, against Chelsea, in the Premier League.
