Flamengo has been through a season marked by challenges and adaptations. With Gerson absent from three consecutive rounds due to injury, an opportunity arose for Nicolás De La Cruz to show his value as a second midfielder. The Uruguayan player's performances have pleased not only the fans, but also coach Tite and his technical team.

Since Gerson became an absence in the starting lineup, De La Cruz was selected to fill his position. The player, known for his refined technique and vision of the game, has proven to be a reliable option in Flamengo's midfield. His ability to recover possession of the ball and distribute it with precision have been outstanding aspects during the matches in which he has played.


FLAMENGO'S NEW JOKER

The choice of De La Cruz as Gerson's replacement was not only a matter of necessity, but also an opportunity for the player to show his versatility and adaptability to the club's style of play. While some fans are still becoming familiar with the Uruguayan and his style of play, Flamengo's coaching staff sees his performances as a valuable addition to the team's midfield.

However, De La Cruz also brought with them a dilemma for Tite and his assistants. With Gerson returning to fitness and readily available for selection, the coaching staff now finds themselves facing a "good problem" in the fight for midfield positions. De La Cruz's consistent performance raises questions about who should occupy the starting role on the team.


The decision on who will occupy the second midfielder position in the Flamengo will not be easy. Both Gerson and De La Cruz bring distinct qualities to the field. While Gerson is known for his ability to quickly transition between defense and attack, De La Cruz offers a more solid defensive presence and exceptional vision of the game.

Speculated as a possible reinforcement of Flamengo to fill the gap left by Pedro, striker Anthony Martial is free on the market, but has not played since December 9, 2023. On that occasion, Manchester United, his former club, entered the field to face Bournemouth and lost 3-0 in the Premier League. Martial was a starter and played for 56 minutes.

At the beginning of the year, the French striker suffered a groin injury that required surgery. Therefore, he was away for around 42 days, only returning in March. Even though there were three months left on his contract, Manchester United chose to let go of the player. Since then, Martial has been evaluating his next club and Flamengo is paying attention to his movements.

Just like Flamengo, Anthony Martial suffered from injuries in 2023/24. The star had several physical problems that kept him away from the field for a total of 60 days. Due to muscle pain, the player was not available for United in 12 matches last season.


Status of the deal between Flamengo and Anthony Martial

If the If Flamengo is really interested in the Frenchman, they will have to race against time and agree on the signing by Monday (9). Registration for free players is closing. According to Italian journalist Luca Bendoni, who works at the Gianluca Dimarzio portal, the deal could come to fruition soon.

Offered to Flamengo by his staff, Martial also had a drop in his personal numbers. In the 2022/23 season, the player scored six goals and provided two assists in the Premier League. In 2023/24, it was just one goal and no pass that resulted in the ball in the opponents' net.

The board of Flamengo made an important decision by refusing a proposal from Rio Ave, from Portugal, to loan center forward Felipe Lima, an Under-20 player. The proposal offered by the Portuguese club was attractive from a financial point of view, guaranteeing the athlete a good salary, with the possibility of doubling the amount if he played at least 10 games for the main team, playing for at least 45 minutes in each match.

However, the red and black management, together with coach Tite, chose to keep the player in the squad. The decision was based on the assessment that Felipe Lima could be useful to the professional team of Flamengo. This understanding was reinforced by the young striker's recent call-up for the match against Bahia, and there is the expectation that he will be included again for the game against Corinthians next weekend. FLAMENGO SECURE THE NEGOTIATION

Felipe Lima, who has stood out in the youth categories, was already observed by Flamengo's technical committee, who sees potential in the athlete to join the main squad. The decision to keep the player at the club, rather than allowing him to be loaned to European football, indicates confidence in Felipe's development and ability to contribute directly to the team in important competitions.


With the possible use of Felipe Lima in the main team, Flamengo
