AND THIS? JOSÉ MOURINHO ASKS FOR THE HIRING OF A FLAMENGO MID FROM FENERBAHÇE

A coup d'état is underway in La Paz, capital of Bolivia. The military took to the streets and invaded the Quemado Palace, the seat of the Bolivian government. General Zuñiga has declared that he is in control of the country. The atmosphere in the city is extremely tense, with clashes between the military forces and the population.

This political instability is generating concerns among fans of the Flamengo. The Rio team has a game scheduled against Bolívar on August 22nd, in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, at an altitude of 3,600 meters in La Paz. With the current scenario, many Flamengo fans are beginning to imagine a possible change of form. location of the match.

FLAMENGO HAS "EYES OPEN"

The possibility of changing the location of the game is a delicate topic. Conmebol, the entity that organizes the Libertadores, has not yet officially commented on the matter. However, the safety of players and fans is a priority and, with the volatile situation in Bolivia, pressure for a change of venue could increase in the coming hours.

Flamengo are attentive and concerned. Many have already started discussing on social media about possible alternatives for holding the match. Some suggestions include cities in neighboring countries that can guarantee the necessary security for the event. Meanwhile, Flamengo's preparation continues. Coach Jorge Sampaoli must remain focused on training the team, despite the uncertainty about the location of the game.

In the last match for the Brazilian Championship, Juventude surprised Flamengo after winning 2x1 in an exciting game. The victory not only earned three important points for the Caxias do Sul team, but also generated provocations on social media. The game, held at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, started intensely with both teams looking to attack.

However, it was Juventude who opened the scoring, catching the red-black defense by surprise. Flamengo's reaction came soon after, but the team was unable to impose itself as usual, coming up against the opponent's solid defense. The highlight of the match was goalkeeper Agustín Rossi. He had a spectacular performance, being decisive for the result. According to Sofascore, Rossi made seven saves throughout the game, five of which were shots inside the box. This performance was crucial to prevent Flamengo from scoring more goals and guarantee the victory for Juventude.

A WALL EVEN WITH THE DEFEAT

Rossi also prevented 1.38 goals, a statistic that demonstrates its effectiveness under the goalposts. Furthermore, the Argentine goalkeeper won a duel on the ground and made an important cut, contributing to the team's defensive solidity. With a rating of 8.6, Rossi was not only the best player on the field, but also obtained the highest score of the round so far.

After the match, Juventude did not miss the opportunity to provoke the Flamengo in social media. The victory over one of the most popular teams in Brazil was celebrated enthusiastically by the fans and the team, who took the opportunity to poke fun at their opponent from Rio. The mockery was good-natured and showed the confidence of the Caxias do Sul team after their great performance.

Nicolás de la Cruz should no longer go to Flamengo! But how did this happen? The star has been an interest for the red and black since the beginning of the 2023 season and his current team, River Plate (ARG), authorized negotiations for the Uruguayan star in May. However, another club entered the game.

The midfielder is being negotiated in Europe, which is his particular priority. A few months ago, Argentine broadcaster TyC Sports reported that Nicolás' desire was to be transferred to the old continent, which could finally happen. Since a Turkish club has him in its sights.

According to the Spanish portal Fichajes, de La Cruz is a target for Fenerbahçe (TUR). The team made a series of important purchases in the last transfer window, which ended earlier this September. However, they still have the desire to invest in a few more players for the second half of the 2023/2024 season, which starts in January.

Thus, what is expected is that a formal offer will be made to the Uruguayan from the beginning of next year (2024). The star is 26 years old and is one of the biggest names in South American football. His contract with River Plate runs until 2025. This season alone he has scored seven goals and three assists in just 29 matches.

According to 'Coluna do Fla', Mais Querido reached a verbal agreement with the athlete earlier, but the deal was not made official due to difficulties imposed by River himself. The Argentines would have played a tough game to release him, given the rivalry between the teams that has been growing since 2019, when they faced each other in the Libertadores final.
