After the recent confrontation between Flamengoand Atlético-MG in the final of the Copa do Brasil, the reunion between the teams for the Brasileirão brought great expectations to fans. Flamengo, which was coming from a decisive moment in the competition, entered the field looking to add points to consolidate its position among the first placed. Atlético-MG, with an oscillating campaign, was looking to recover points and improve its position in the table. The 0-0 draw reflected a game of balance and intensity, with both teams prioritizing defensive solidity.


The match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG, held at Maracanã, had moments of pressure and alternating control. Flamengo presented good attacking opportunities, especially in the offensive sector, but failed to convert them into goals. On the other hand, Atlético-MG bet on a defensive strategy, with an intense marking posture and a solid defense that neutralized the opponent's dangerous plays. The Atlético-MG goalkeeper's performance was essential in keeping the score at 0-0, frustrating Flamengo's attempts to finish.


FLAMENGO IS SOVEREIGN IN THE GAME


With the result, Flamengo reaches 59 points, remaining in 4th place, but moving away from Fortaleza, which secured a victory in the round and consolidated 3rd place. The sequence of draws and the focus on parallel competitions have influenced Flamengo's position in the table, which now needs positive results to remain among the top placed. Atlético-MG, after reaching 42 points, remains in 10th, far from the group fighting for a place in the Libertadores, but with its assured stay in the middle of the table.

In analyzing the highlights, Atlético-MG's goalkeeper was fundamental, ensuring that the score remained unchanged. For Flamengo, the midfield proved to be efficient in transition and creating plays, but Atlético-MG's defense was effective in containing the advances of the red and black attack. The coaches' strategies were very clear: while Flamengo sought to impose itself and put pressure on, Atlético-MG opted for a more cautious stance, prioritizing defense and exploring counterattacks. This dynamic defined the rhythm of the match, resulting in a draw.


 FLAMENGO DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES

For Flamengo, the focus now turns to the Brasileirão sequence, where the team seeks to strengthen its position and secure a prominent place until the end of the season. With important games ahead, the team will need victories to try to get closer to the top places. Atlético-MG will continue fighting for a better position in the table, although the objective of qualifying for the Libertadores seems distant. The solid defensive performance demonstrated in this match could be a basis for the next challenges.

The goalless draw between Flamengo and Atlético-MG reflects the balance and circumstances of both teams' season. With Flamengo focused on remaining among the top teams and Atlético- MG seeking stability in the middle of the table, the clash did not bring significant changes, but confirmed the teams' commitment to maintaining regularity. In the 33rd round, every point counts, and the next matches will be decisive in defining the direction of each team in the Brazilian Championship. Fans continue to follow closely, hoping that their teams will achieve better results in the final rounds.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti will announce this Monday (25), at 3:30 pm , the 23 players who will represent the Brazilian National Team in the two final matches of the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup . The matches will be against Chile, on September 4, at Maracanã , and against Bolivia, on the 9th, at El Alto Municipal Stadium.


The squad will be announced live at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro , with live broadcasts nationwide. Even with qualification for the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, already assured, Ancelotti is expected to make significant changes to the squad.


BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL PLAYERS


Among the new players, names that play in Brazil are expected to gain prominence. The Italian coach watched several matches in the country during the last FIFA International Day and opted to include prominent players from the national scene. Flamengo could be represented by Danilo, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Alex Sandro, and Samuel Lino, all of whom were on the preliminary squad list.

Additionally, players from other Brazilian teams are also on the radar. Cruzeiro, for example, has four pre-selected players, including Kaio Jorge, Matheus Pereira, and Fabrício Bruno. Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão, currently with Santos and a product of the Minas Gerais team , is also considered for inclusion.


NEYMAR REMAINS ON THE PRE-LIST

The preliminary list includes Neymar, but the striker's presence is uncertain . Santos reported last Saturday (23) that the player is treating an edema in his thigh. If he is not called up, he will complete two years without wearing the Brazilian National Team shirt.

The main confirmed absence is Vinicius Jr. Suspended for the match against Chile , the Real Madrid striker was removed from the pre-list and, even though he has been cleared to play against Bolivia, he will be preserved by decision of the coaching staff.

Young midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, a Flamengo talent , is experiencing a period of uncertainty in his career. Without a place in the main squad, he was reinstated to the youth academy after the coaching staff determined his performance wasn't up to expectations.


Even so, the athlete continues to attract interest in the market. After inquiries from several clubs, including a rejected offer from Cruzeiro, CSKA Moscow appears to be the leading candidate to sign him.


CSKA PROPOSAL


According to information gathered by Gazeta do Urubu , talks between the Russian club and the player's representatives are already underway. CSKA is reportedly willing to pay around €5 million, plus bonuses for milestones, to acquire the player's rights outright.

Matheus Gonçalves, 20, is seen as a strategic asset to the Russian team's sporting project, which is seeking promising young players to bolster its attacking position. To date, however, the Rio de Janeiro club has not officially commented on a possible sale, nor has it confirmed any negotiations.


NEGOTIATION DEPENDS ON DECISION

Flamengo's board has not yet indicated whether it intends to negotiate with the player . Internally, there is an understanding that Matheus is an important asset for the future, although the lack of opportunities in the main squad has fueled speculation about his departure.
