The draw that tasted like defeat against Central Córdoba , in the interior of Argentina, had an immediate effect behind the scenes at Flamengo . The crisis has set in after yet another poor performance, with the growing risk of another international fiasco of enormous proportions.
The continent's most expensive team is obliged to win the two remaining games , both at home. And they need to improve their goal difference. If they don't beat LDU on Thursday, the 15th, they could be eliminated from Maracanã. And the ideal is to beat the team from Quito by two or more goals.
The football department detected that, back in May, he was not in good physical condition. That is why Arrascaeta missed a great chance right after opening the scoring. He had no legs after the run and kicked weakly, according to the club's professionals.
Director José Boto demands, especially from the coach, and Filipe Luís listens to the Portuguese. However, this has not had any practical effect, as the coach continues to stick to his ideas, even at a delicate moment, which may require some flexibility.
It is worth giving the squad a boost of health , given the obvious conclusion that a team that doesn't run, doesn't win, no matter how much quality it has. The idea is to count on new players, with legs, including going to the market in this half of the year.
At the same time, football asked president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, to have "real" fans at the games, who would support the team "on their backs". In practice, a suggestion along the lines of: reduce ticket prices and bring people to support the team.
Flamengo 's immediate goal is to lick the wounds of the bad result in Argentina and beat Bahia on Saturday at Maracanã. Obviously, it is known that a defeat in the Brazilian league game would naturally compromise the preparation and everything that will involve the duel with LDU.

Argentine striker Paulo Dybala, 31, has entered Flamengo's radar . According to journalist Jorge Nicola on the Arena SBT program, the Roma player has become the club's new top target for the coming years.
The deal would be supported by Betano, the club's new title sponsor. The company sees Dybala 's signing as not only a significant reinforcement on the field , but also a marketing opportunity with enormous potential returns.
According to Nicola, coach Filipe Luís has already given the green light for the Argentine's possible arrival. Despite this, the player is expected to fulfill his contract with Roma, which runs until June 2026. Dybala has been one of the Italian club's key players since his arrival in the 2022 season.
In recent months, Dybala has received multi-million dollar offers from Saudi Arabian football clubs, but Roma have declined to release him. Therefore, one option Flamengo is considering is to wait until January 2026, when it will be possible to sign a pre-contract with the striker.
If Dybala is signed, he will face stiff competition for a position in the red-and-black attack . The squad currently includes Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique, Everton Cebolinha, Samuel Lino, Michael, Matheus Gonçalves, and Gonzalo Plata.
