Flamengo and São Paulo face each other this Sunday (17), in the first match of the Copa do Brasil final. Both teams are coming off defeats this week, Rubro Negro lost to Athletico - PR and the Tricolor team was defeated by Internacional. Both games were valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
Both teams will face each other a little weakened, as both teams will not be able to count on some of the team's stars because they are injured. Jorge Sampaoli's team, despite not going through a good phase, will face a São Paulo team that hasn't won in two months in the Brazilian Championship.
The São Paulo tricolor was eliminated at home in the Sul - Americana and is coming off results bad in Brasileirão. However, Dorival Júnior's team usually changes the "key" in the Copa do Brasil. Not surprisingly, they surprised by eliminating Palmeiras in the quarterfinals of the competition and beating Corinthians afterwards. Therefore, Sampaoli can expect a different stance from his opponent at Maracanã.
Flamengo and São Paulo embrace the Copa do Brasil in the chance to save the year. Both teams were eliminated from their respective South American competitions and are not competing for the Brazilian Championship title. Tricolor is in 13th place and Rubro Negro is in 4th place on the leaderboard.
For this Sunday's match (17), Dorival Júnior will not be able to count on the presence of seven players, namely: Ygor Vinícius, Galoppo, Ferraresi, Patryck, Erison, David, Caio Paulista. The list could still increase, as Arboleda was injured while playing for Ecuador at Data Fifa.
Rubro Negro will also be without the presence of two players, namely: Filipe Luís and Allan. There is a possibility that Luiz Araújo and Arrascaeta will not play the first match. As a result, coaches will have a huge headache when it comes to scheduling teams.

If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider.

Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.

Just under two months after leaving Flamengo for Zenit (RUS), midfielder Gerson could change clubs again . According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Al Ittihad (SAU) has begun talks to try to sign the player, who is considered a priority in the final stretch of the Saudi Arabian transfer window.
In July, Zenit paid €25 million (approximately R$160 million) to pay Gerson's release clause. Flamengo therefore did not participate in negotiations, only releasing the player after the full payment of the contract clause. So far, no agreement has been reached. The Saudi club is trying to convince the Russians to release the player , who was recently signed for a multi-million dollar fee.
On July 4, the club published an official statement confirming the departure of the then captain, highlighting that the decision came from the athlete himself, who submitted a resignation and unilateral termination request , paid by the Russians, without having any negotiation with Mais Querido.
On social media, Flamengo was direct and thanked the midfielder for the time he defended Manto: "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announces the end of the contract with the athlete Gerson . The Mais Querido thanks him for the time he defended Manto and wishes the player good luck."
Upon returning to the club, Gerson played 144 matches, scored 12 goals, and won four titles . He also took on the captain's armband and established himself as one of the team's key leaders. At Zenit, however, the midfielder has only played six games so far.
