Former Flamengo player, Arturo Vidal, returned to the spotlight after his team's 1-1 draw and River Plate in the Libertadores quarter-finals. Known for his controversial style, the Chilean took advantage of the result to provoke the Argentine team's players, stating that he has more titles than all the members of the opposing squad.

ARTURO VIDAL PROVOCATION

After the confrontation, Vidal did not mince words. "If we compare the titles, I have more than all the River players", said the midfielder, who won the Libertadores with Flamengo in 2022. The statement came after the draw that left the decision open for the second leg, which will be played this Tuesday (24), at the Monumental de Núñez, in Buenos Aires. The winner of this match will face the qualifier from the duel between Atlético-MG and Fluminense in the semi-finals of the continental competition.



VIDAL TALKS ABOUT RIVER'S INTENSITYIn addition to the provocation, Vidal demonstrated his frustration at not having participated directly in the game. He praised River Plate's intensity, but highlighted his team's superiority. "I really wanted to be on the field, because they were talking about River's intensity. We deserved to win. We attacked in every way, but they took advantage of our only mistake. Let's look for qualification in Argentina", said the player, showing confidence for the second confrontation.


CRF SEEKS HISTORIC UPON AGAINST PEÑAROL

After losing the first game of the quarter-finals 1-0, Mais Querido needs a comeback against Peñarol, in the return game that will be held this Thursday (26), at 7pm, at the Campeón Del Siglo stadium, in Montevideo.

For the first time in the history of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, the presidential election will be held using electronic voting machines, provided by the Regional Electoral Court (TRE). The election is scheduled for December 9, 2024, according to an official statement issued this Tuesday (24) by the president of the club's General Assembly, Carlos Henrique Fernandes.

ELECTION WITH ELECTRONIC VOTING BOXES

In the notice sent to members, the club informed that voting will take place from 8am to 9pm, at the Hélio Mauricio Gymnasium, at the Gávea headquarters. To participate, it will be mandatory to present ID, CNH or other document with photo that contains the CPF number, in addition to the club's social card.


Unlike government elections, in the Mais Querido election there will be the printing of a proof of the result. The adoption of electronic voting machines should speed up the counting process, which, in previous years, used to take hours. In the last election, for example, the difference between second and third place was decided by just one vote.



SIX CANDIDATES IN THE DISPUTETo date, six candidates are in the race to assume the presidency of Mengão. Among them are well-known names from the club's internal politics, such as Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches, Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap), Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Wallim Vasconcellos, Pedro Paulo and Delair Dumbrosck. The registration period for tickets takes place between September 10th and 30th.


IN-PERSON VOTING

The election will be 100% in person, with voting taking place on December 9th, from 8am to 9pm, in Gávea. The process promises to be more agile, thanks to the use of electronic voting machines, and the participation of members will be essential to define the next president of the CRF.
