Flamengo's opponent in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship, Juventude will have extra challenges for the clash next Saturday (26), at Maracanã . The Caxias do Sul team will be without two of its main players: midfielders Jadson and Jean Carlos, both suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The absences occur after the 5-3 defeat suffered against Palmeiras, last Sunday (20). These two athletes were important pieces in coach Jair Ventura's tactical scheme and their absence could directly impact the team's competitiveness against Flamengo.
Jadson, Juventude's absolute starting midfielder, was warned with a third yellow card during the match against Palmeiras. The number 16 made a controversial move when he stopped a promising counterattack by Estevão. Although the play raised discussions about a possible expulsion, referee Alex Stefano, with the support of VAR, decided that the move did not constitute a red card foul. As a result, Jadson was only punished with a yellow card, but the accumulation of warnings takes him out of the game against Flamengo. Known for his defensive solidity, the player started 49 matches this season and is one of Juventude's main ball stealers, with an average of 2.5 tackles per game, which places him as the fourth best on the team in this regard.
FLAMENGO HAS "ALERT ON"
Jadson's absence leaves Jair Ventura with a dilemma. The coach needs to find a suitable replacement to fill the gap left by the midfielder, who has established himself as a fundamental piece in the team's defensive protection. Possible replacements include Luís Oyama and Dudu Vieira, both players who have defensive characteristics, but who still need to demonstrate the same consistency shown by Jadson throughout the Brasileirão. Oyama is a midfielder who has already had good performances in previous games, but the responsibility of scoring against a team offensively strong like Flamengo puts extra pressure on their possible lineup.
In addition to Jadson, Juventude he will also be without Jean Carlos, who received a yellow card in the 48th minute of the second half against Palmeiras. Although the game was already practically decided, with the score 5-3 in favor of the São Paulo team, Jean Carlos was punished for trying to interrupt a fast play by Raphael Veiga. The midfielder had been an interesting option for coach Jair Ventura, mainly to rebuild the midfield, but with his suspension, the coach will have to review his alternatives.< /b>
CLUB, EVERYONE CAST
The combination of the absences of Jadson and Jean Carlos puts Juventude in a delicate situation for the clash against Flamengo. The team from Rio Grande do Sul, which already faces difficulties in the table, will have to reinvent itself to face one of the to-the-final" target="_blank"> strongest teams in the competition. While Flamengo, playing at home, seeks to maintain the pace of victories to consolidate itself in the fight for the title, Juventude will have to overcome the absences and find tactical alternatives to resist the red and black pressure. p>

The Brazilian national team striker's name was speculated on Mais Querido, but transfer fees and salary make the deal unfeasible.

Given Flamengo's recent difficulties in signing a new number 9, a speculated name has resurfaced among fans: Gabriel Jesus . The Brazilian national team striker, currently at Arsenal in England, has reportedly been placed on the London club's transfer list for the next transfer window.
The asking price is around £30 million (approximately R$191 million at the current exchange rate) . The push for attacking reinforcements gained momentum after rejections from players like Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi, who opted to remain in European football.
Despite being one of the most mentioned names by fans on social media and specialized forums, Gabriel Jesus' arrival in Brazilian football is considered extremely unlikely at this time. Arsenal's proposed fee is far above the financial reality of South American football, even for a club with significant investment power like Flamengo .
In addition to the high transfer fee required, the player's current salary—comparable to Premier League standards—would pose an even greater challenge. The English club, seeking to balance its finances and make room for reinforcements in other positions, sees the Brazilian striker as one of its main bargaining chips in the next window.
Flamengo 's board continues to monitor the market for a center forward who fits the profile desired by Filipe Luís's coaching staff. After frustrations in negotiations with players who opted to remain on the Old Continent, the club is seeking viable alternatives that can strengthen the squad without compromising its financial planning.
