This Monday, at Tijuca Tênis Clube, Sesc-Flamengo won the title of state women's volleyball champion for the fourth consecutive time by beating Fluminense by 3 sets to 0, with splits of 25/23, 25/22 and 25/20. The red-black team maintained its team in the right way, carrying out a victorious campaign without losing a single set, while seeking the Carioca title and advancing towards the Superliga.


With exclusive fans for Bernardinho and tickets completely sold out, the red and black team ended the championship with another victory over Fluminense. During the competition, which began on October 28th, Flamengo faced the Tricolor team on October 2nd, winning a victory by 3 sets to 0, with partial scores of 25/22, 25/17 and 25/21.


The team had an impeccable campaign, without suffering defeats in any set throughout the competition. In the final, we also had the presence of beach volleyball athletes, Pietra Jukoski and Giulia Gávio, daughters of Olympic champions Paulão and Giovane, in the crowd.


Fluminense opened the scoring with a point from Paracatu, but the team sent it out, then, and equalized for the rivals. After the first rally of the game, Roni sent an ace to the red and black team. Bernadinho made the first technical stop and asked for a reaction to the opponents' "drops". Back on the court, another rally, this time, with a perfect finish from Brie, and a point for Flamengo. The tricolor team started with some mistakes due to a lack of chemistry in the game, but Elina didn't let it go easy and sent two balls in a row into the opponent's court, scoring two points for the tricolor and stealing the lead of the match at 14/10. Flamengo got on the scoreboard, and opened the lead with a ball from Uzelac. In a last 30-second rally, Roni closed the set at 25/23.

In the second set, Flamengo opened scoring with two aces from Juciely and Brie King. The team opened up a six-point lead, highlighted by the three blocks that reinforced the score. Roni faced Paracatu's block, which ended up scoring for Fluminense. Brie King sent a free one to Flu, but on the return, Valquíria didn't hesitate and sent the opponent to the ground. Pietra entered for the tricolor and already scored, sending a strong attack on the red-black court. With a double block from Flamengo, followed by an attack from Helena, the team approached set point. Paracatu did well in blocking and the team closed the gap, but with many service errors, Flamengo ended up closing the set after an electrifying rally.



The set began with a significant reaction from Guilherme Schmitz's team, who took advantage of Flamengo's blocking and serving errors, and ended up opening 6/3. If Sabrina reduced the advantage on one side, Uzelac scored on the other. With a point from Michele and the ball out of Uzelac, Rubro-Negro pulled over. Then there was a touch at the net by Brie King and a tricolor point. The Flemish blockade increased the advantage to four points and maintained the lead until the end. With the Brie King and Sabrina double, Flamengo closed the game and took the champion title for the fourth consecutive time.

Eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup semi-finals, Flamengo begins its transition back to the routine of Brazilian football this Monday (30) . The delegation leaves the United States at 10 pm (Brasília time) bound for Galeão Airport, on Governador Island, in Rio de Janeiro.


The return marks the end of the international stint, but also the beginning of a new plan. With the focus once again on national and continental competitions, Rubro-Negro is organizing the squad's return for next Saturday, July 5th, at 9:30 am, at Ninho do Urubu.


FLAMENGO RETURNS TO TRAINING AFTER THE WORLD CUP


The coaching staff decided to give the players a week off, as a way of recovering physically and mentally after the exhaustion of the competition. The break is strategic, as Flamengo has a marathon of games ahead in July, involving the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.

SERIES OF GAMES UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON


The return will be marked by intense training at the training center, with a focus on regaining the lead in the Brasileirão and the decisive stages of the knockout tournaments. The tendency is for Mengão to use the period to adjust the team and recover players who returned from the World Cup with muscle fatigue.

Although Flamengo 's next match in the Brasileirão is theoretically scheduled against São Paulo, as the home team, confirmation of the date still depends on the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The game was scheduled to take place during the Club World Cup. With the early elimination, the club expected the match to be rescheduled. However, the CBF is facing difficulties with the tight schedule, and the current trend is that the duel with São Paulo will be held for July 13.

Fluminense is in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. With goals from Cano and Hércules, the Tricolor beat Inter Milan this Monday, 2-0, and sealed their advance to the knockout stages of the tournament. Renato Gaúcho's team now awaits the winner of Manchester City vs. Al-Hilal.




SUMMARY


Fluminense needed little time to open the scoring against Inter. Two minutes in, Arias received the ball from Martinelli, advanced down the right and crossed. The ball deflected off Bastoni, and Cano, who completed 200 games for Tricolor today, took advantage of the chance to score the first goal of the match.

The team from Rio also missed a chance to extend their lead with Samuel Xavier, who shot just wide of Sommer's goal. Ignácio managed to score the second goal after a three-touch header in the box, but the move was disallowed due to the defender being offside. Inter had their best chances with long balls behind the defense. In one of the most dangerous plays for the Italians, Mkhitaryan received the ball in the box on the left and passed it to Dimarco, but Fábio saved it . Before the end of the first half, there was a brief scuffle between Renato Gaúcho and Mkhitaryan.


The first big chance of the second half came again in Fluminense's favor and through Cano's feet, in the 11th minute. Minutes later, Arias forced Sommer to perform a miracle with a bomb from outside the area. As the second half progressed, following the substitution rounds, Inter Milan grew in the game and began to put pressure on Fluminense - there were at least five clear chances. De Vrij missed an unbelievable shot in the six-yard box, and Lautaro had three clear chances in a three-minute interval - one of which hit the post.

In injury time, Hércules sealed the victory over Inter. Samuel Xavier took a throw-in, De Vrij headed the ball and the ball went past everyone before falling to the Tricolor midfielder. Hércules controlled the ball and invaded the area before shooting with his left foot, missing Sommer's goal! End of story in Charlotte.


AND NOW?

Fluminense now has to face either Manchester City or Al-Hilal. If the English team gets through, it will be a repeat of the Club World Cup in 2023, where the tricolor succumbed to the power of the blue side of Manchester, with Guardiola and his team.
