Without playing on the weekend and being able to train and rest due to the FIFA date, Flamengo will only return to the field next Thursday (13th), at 8pm, at Maracanã, to face Grêmio, in a game of the 8th round of the Brazilian Championship.
The opponent, however, has no rest this week. With the calendar delayed due to the climate tragedies that occurred in Rio Grande do Sul, Grêmio faced Huachipato-CHI, away from home, on Tuesday (4) and won 1-0 (goal by Diego Costa). The result guaranteed Renato Gaúcho's team in the round of 16 of the Libertadores with one round in advance.
This is because the team from Rio Grande do Sul will play again in the competition this weekend to end the group stage of the tournament . With the Arena closed, Imortal Tricolor faces Estudiantes-ARG at the Couto Pereira stadium, on Saturday (8), at 7pm (Brasília time).
“We scored the goal at the beginning of the game, we continued in on top of the opponent, creating while the field gave us that support. We could have ended the first half with the game almost decided. We knew the opponent would come forward in the second half, they had good chances. The pitch hurt us a lot, but the team was very tough. The defense worked hard, we had youth and experience on the field, they knew how to behave well and we got the result we wanted", said Renato after the victory.

Abel Ferreira, coach of Palmeiras, will have another confrontation with Renato Gaúcho, coach of Grêmio, in a duel marked by several previous disputes. So far, Abel has the advantage in meetings between the two coaches.
Palmeiras is going through intense days, mainly due to the preparation for the debut of their new reinforcements. However, the club has also been the target of an avalanche of news about the possible signing of Gabigol, currently at Flamengo.
Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, already has a well-defined strategy to try to sign Gabigol. Flamengo, in turn, signaled that it will only release the attacker through significant financial compensation. This stance by the Rio club has hampered negotiations between the parties.
THE Palmeiras enters the field this Thursday (4) to face Grêmio, in a crucial game to remain in the dispute for leadership of the Brazilian Championship. With 26 points, a victory leaves the São Paulo club just one point behind leader Flamengo, who currently has 30 points.

Andreas Pereira, midfielder for the Brazilian national team and former Flamengo player, revealed in a press conference Lucas Paquetá's reaction to Flamengo's interest in signing him.
According to Pereira, Paquetá confirmed that there were conversations, but nothing concrete so far. "About Paquetá, we asked if something was going on. He said there were conversations, but nothing concrete. We are always happy to hear these things coming back to the team. Will he come back? It will be good for Flamengo ", he declared.
Flamengo started talks to try to repatriate the West Ham star, although the negotiation is considered difficult. Paquetá has a contract with the English team until June 2027, and investigations into alleged sports betting manipulations complicate the operation. As of now, there is no official offer on the table from West Ham.
On West Ham's side, the sale of Lucas Paquetá would be a way to recover part of the investment of 60 million euros (around R$300 million) made in the player two years ago. The investigations and possible sanctions linked to the case of sports betting manipulation could also influence the English club's decision.

Columnist Walter Casagrande highlighted in UOL News Esporte this Thursday (4) that Tite's Flamengo is "round" and put on a great show in the 4-2 victory over Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte, in the Brasileirão . With the house in order, could Paquetá's possible return be a shot in the foot?, asked Casão.
'Flamengo is putting on a show. Do you need anyone else?': "Flamengo needed organization and they are organized. They played much better than Atlético-MG, they deserve to be in the lead. Everything is fine, Flamengo is playing well, they won away with a show by 4-2, Then the Copa América players will arrive, the guys are starters, it will change completely. It's not a certainty that the players who are starters will return and join the team and the team will improve even more, no, the team is still right now. Paquetá could arrive, everything is perfect, does he need another guy there? Does he need someone else in the squad to fight for position, compete for a place? be a starter."
'Paquetá's arrival could be a shot in the foot': "Tite, at this moment, without the other players, doesn't need to choose those to put in, he puts them in and everyone is playing. well. When everyone comes back, they'll have to choose this one, that one, this one, I'll save it, and then a little dissatisfaction starts, every player likes to play, especially at a similar level. So, it is not absolute certainty that the return of the Copa América players and the possible arrival of Paquetá will improve it even further. It could be a shot in the foot, not these Copa América players, they will come back, they will fight for position, but they will break a rhythm that is being done very well. Now, the signing of Paquetá will be an additional straw in something that is already tight with great players."
