Flamengo beat Botafogo-PB 4-2 this Wednesday (21), at Maracanã, in a match marked by a rotation promoted by Filipe Luís . Among those spared, Luiz Araújo was highlighted behind the scenes, publicly praised by the coach, who classified him as an “animal” for his physical capacity.
“Luiz (Araújo) is an animal. He really is different physically. There are others like Bruno ( Henrique ), Plata , Wesley , who hit extraordinary goals, at European level. That’s why they are players who can handle this type of intense game, with so much rhythm for 90 minutes . They are Flamengo level players. There is a little more back and forth and at the same time they are very worn out”, said the coach.
The numbers show me what they can give physically..."
Filipe Luís also took advantage of the press conference to detail the situation of the medical department, which currently has five athletes: De La Cruz , Allan , Erick Pulgar , Viña and Plata .
“For example, Nico De La Cruz and Plata’s injuries were knee injuries, trauma or even joint injuries. Erick (Pulgar) and Allan had real injuries. The rest, in terms of muscle, we are being lucky. There are players who deserve special care, like Cebola , Pedro and Arrasca , who came back from post-operative injuries. We are instructed to monitor them at certain times . The numbers show me what they can do physically,” explained the coach.
Filipe also warned about the interpretation of the team’s physical performance data: “ But these are not the numbers I like . Because if they ran so much, the game would not have been so good. During the game against Botafogo, there was a lot of back and forth. These numbers appear. When a team wins and controls , these numbers are not reached . We often say that the team lacks intensity, but it is the opposite. The team is running more than it should , but in the wrong way. The numbers always have to be contextualized,” he concluded.
With Luiz Araújo available, Flamengo is now preparing for the interstate classic against Palmeiras, this Sunday (25), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, for the tenth round of the Brasileirão.
With Arrascaeta suspended and key absences, Filipe Luís is betting on a fast attack and confirms Jorginho's return to the starting lineup

Flamengo is ready to face Internacional this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Filipe Luís confirmed the entry of Luiz Araújo in place of Arrascaeta, who is suspended, and promoted the return of Jorginho to the starting lineup.
Without the Uruguayan number 10, the red-black team will take to the field with: Rossi; Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Allan; Luiz Araújo, Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
The main new addition is Jorginho, who returns after serving a suspension in the Brasileirão victory over Mirassol. Arrascaeta, on the other hand, is out due to an accumulation of yellow cards in the continental competition.
In addition to Arrascaeta, Flamengo will be without Erick Pulgar (right foot surgery), De La Cruz (left knee injury), and Danilo (right thigh injury). The final roster could still be surprising, as Filipe Luís has opted for strategic cuts due to the excess players on the roster.
The match between Flamengo and Internacional is scheduled for 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with live broadcast on Rede Globo, on open TV, and on Disney+, via streaming. The return duel takes place next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre.
Mengão purchased the space to build its own arena and the company will pay around 15% of the value to Caixa Econômica Federal.

Flamengo's own stadium project gained direct participation from Companhia Carioca de Parcerias e Investimentos (CCPAR) in the preliminary agreement signed between the club, the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, and Caixa Econômica Federal. Specializing in concessions and partnerships, the municipal public company will be responsible for investing R$29.2 million, approximately 15% of the R$199.6 million earmarked for the Gasômetro land acquisition.
The amount will be allocated as financial compensation to Caixa, the former owner of the space through the Porto Maravilha Real Estate Investment Fund , which was expropriated by the City for the auction that resulted in Flamengo 's purchase. This information is from GE.
Flamengo will receive the majority of the amount: R$170 million . This amount includes the R$138 million already paid in the 2023 auction, plus R$7.9 million for the judicial investigation, and an additional R$23.6 million, which will be paid in five installments.
Despite progress in negotiations, the project still faces obstacles. Removing the gas pipelines and clearing the land remain the responsibility of the City Hall . Governor Cláudio Castro assured the website 'MundoBola Flamengo' that the municipality is committed to these steps.
At Flamengo, the topic is being treated cautiously. The Deliberative Council is preparing to discuss ways to secure the necessary resources without compromising the institution's financial health . Contrary to what had been reported, the topic of the new stadium did not come up at the last CoDe meeting.
Teams face each other this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm, seeking a decisive advantage for the return game and keeping the continental dream alive
