IN PENULTIMATE PLACE, FLAMENGO FEMININO RETURN TO THE BRASILEIRÃO LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST VICTORY

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.

Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.

Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.

So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.

"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.

In addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.

"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:

"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.

So, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.

Back in Brazilian football after a season in Portugal, Hugo Souza was loaned to Corinthians to maintain his streak. Flamengo counts on Rossi and Matheus Cunha as the main options for the red and black goal and did not count on the presence of Hugo. The archer made his debut for Corinthians shortly after his introduction as a reinforcement for the team. The fans' first impression was good, with the goalkeeper making great saves in the 2-1 victory over Criciúma last Tuesday (16).

Achieving the three points brought Timão closer to get out of the relegation zone, the club's main objective at the moment. Hugo Souza's prospects are good in the squad, so the question arises: how much would Alvinegro have to pay to contact the defender permanently?

The contract signed between Flamengo and Corinthians provides for the goalkeeper's loan until December this year, meaning he has just over five months to stay at the club. The São Paulo natives paid 200 thousand euros (just over R$1.2 million) in the operation.

If they are interested in purchasing the player, Corinthians will have to pay 800 thousand euros (almost R$5 million, at the current price) to Flamengo for 50% of the player's economic rights.

The signing of Hugo Souza is directly related to football director Fabinho Soldado, who worked with the goalkeeper during his time at Flamengo.< /p>

Despite the bad phase in the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians is guaranteed a place in the round of 16, both in the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Sudamericana. The club's idea is to recover in the national tournament while competing in the cup knockouts.

In addition to Hugo Souza, Timão has Matheus Donelli to play in goal. The colleague, in fact, had been a starter after Cássio left the team.
