Flamengo is focused on its preparation for the next challenge, which will be against Corinthians on Saturday (07), in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Mário Jorge has dedicated his efforts to the team's tactical work, aiming for a solid performance against the team from São Paulo. Surprisingly, Gabigol's name does not appear among the likely starters for the clash.
This possible absence of Gabigol in the starting lineup would mark the third consecutive time that the striker has not started a match for Flamengo. On the last two occasions, against São Paulo and Bahia, in duels valid for the Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão, respectively, the player remained on the bench. It is important to highlight that, even starting as a substitute, Gabigol had an active participation in Flamengo's last two matches. In the games against São Paulo and Bahia, he entered the field, accumulating 26 and 32 minutes of action, respectively. Thus, the athlete has gained significant opportunities in the second stage of the matches.
Gabigol's trajectory as an impactful substitute opens up space for analyzes of his strategic role in Flamengo's tactical scheme. The number 10's contribution in recent matches, even starting on the bench, highlights his importance as a key player in the decisive moments of games. Given the expectation that Gabigol will not be part of the starting lineup against Corinthians, the red-black team adjusts its game strategy. The technical committee, led by Mário Jorge, seeks to optimize tactical options and explore the different nuances of performance that the squad offers.
The game against Corinthians is scheduled for 9pm (Brasília time), on Neo Química Arena. This match takes on crucial aspects, considering Flamengo's position in the Brazilian Championship table. The search for points is imperative to maintain or expand the advantage in the competition. Amid expectations and uncertainty about the lineup, Flamengo focuses not only on Gabigol's potential absence, but also on consolidating a strategy that allows them to overcome Corinthians in their own territory.
The Neo Química Arena will be stage for another exciting chapter of this season of Brazilian football. The scenario is set for a high-level match, where every detail can influence the final result. Flamengo, under the leadership of Mário Jorge, will seek not only the three points, but also reaffirm its presence as one of the protagonists on the national football scene.
The red-and-black team has the second most valuable squad in the competition, while Argentina has the second cheapest squad among those who qualified.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (17), after a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. After the final whistle, striker Cristiane spoke out and made harsh criticisms of the refereeing.
Flamengo's Cristiane, after elimination from the Copa do Brasil: "It was biased refereeing"
"Everyone saw today's match , no need to even talk about it. The refereeing was biased, and it also went wrong in São Paulo's favor. But when the refereeing ends up deciding the match, it gets complicated . I don't know the choices made for a game as big as this, Flamengo vs. São Paulo," the player declared.
She continued: " Unfortunately, today had a big impact on us . We've made significant progress compared to the beginning of the year, that's clear. But when the refereeing has a direct impact, it gets difficult," Cristiane concluded.
The first half of the derby was evenly matched. São Paulo started better, but after 20 minutes, Flamengo began to control possession. Even so, neither team managed to score before halftime . In the second half, the São Paulo team came back with more intensity and capitalized on a defensive lapse. Duda Serrana appeared unmarked to score the winning goal and secure the tricolor's place in the semifinals.
After being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the Meninas da Gávea return to the field this Saturday (20), for their debut in the Campeonato Carioca, against Búzios, at 3 pm (Brasília time). Flamengo is the current state champion and holds the hegemony in women's football in Rio , with eight titles won so far.
