Flamengo took to the field this Sunday afternoon, on Father's Day. With a full Maracanã and tributes from the fans to their idol Adílio, the red-and-black faced Palmeiras once again, but this time, for the Brazilian Championship. In this sense, the objective was to overtake Botafogo in the lead of the competition. Therefore, Tite's men did not fulfill their mission and drew Paulistas 1-1 and even with Botafogo's defeat to Juventude, they continued in third in the national competition.
< br>Summary
Great game at Maracanã. Worthy of what is expected from a duel between Flamengo and Palmeiras. The two teams could have gone into the break ahead on the scoreboard, but they didn't count on some factors. In red and black, Weverton's great performance. In the red, the VAR that canceled Flaco López's goal. Flamengo lost Everton Cebolinha, injured, at the beginning of the match.
In the second stage, the red and black managed to maintain their performance and had three great chances to open the scoreboard. One with Pedro, another with Luiz Araúo and the last with Gerson. Both were in the hands of Weverton. On the white side, Maurício was the best on the field. But the dangerous chances came from balls raised in the area. Unlike the last games between the teams, Palmeiras was not trapped in defense and poses a threat to the opponent. However, that didn't stop Flamengo from finally opening the scoring. At 20 minutes, a good move from Flamengo's attack. De La Cruz opens for Gerson, who crosses low until arriving in Arrascaeta. Fabinho misses the cut and the Uruguayan finishes. The ball deflects off Vanderlan and kills Weverton.
The goal gave peace of mind to the Rio team, who nevertheless continued with their game. The match became more physical and combative. Mainly from Alviverde, where players complained all the time. However, Palmeiras equalized in the 42nd minute. Fabinho crosses to Rony, who heads the ball into the goal. Rossi performs a miracle, but the ball is left for Luighi to complete into the net. Viña gave conditions to the move.
Time passed and the score remained 1-1
And now?
With the draw , Flamengo has 41 points and remains in third place in the Brasileião. In this sense, one less than vice-president Fortaleza, which has 42 and two points behind leader Botafogo, with 43. Now, Flamengo returns to the field for the Brasileirão only on the 18th, when it faces Botafogo, at the Nílton Santos stadium.
Meanwhile, Tite's team has to turn the key to the Libertadores da América. This is because next Wednesday, the red and black team will face Bolívar, at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm, in the first game of the Round of 16 of the continental tournament.

Flamengo , the current leader of the competition, faces a Ceará side buoyed by their victory over Cruzeiro in the last round . Coach Léo Condé is expected to maintain the core of the team that surprised at Mineirão, betting on repeating the same formula to try to knock out another favorite.
With no new injuries reported, the Northeastern team is expected to field the following players : Bruno Ferreira; Fabiano Souza, Marcos Victor, Willian Machado, and Matheus Bahia; Richardson, Dieguinho, and Lourenço; Pedro Henrique, Galeano, and Pedro Raul. Defender Luiz Otávio, in the final stages of physical reconditioning, remains the only player missing.
Flamengo , meanwhile, will have two key absences. Goalkeeper Matheus Cunha was diagnosed with patellar tendinitis in his left knee and is out. Striker Luiz Araújo will be rested due to physical activity management . As a result, youngster Léo Nannetti, a standout from the youth academy, was included at the last minute and joins Dyogo Alves as an option in goal. Agustín Rossi will start.
Meanwhile, Filipe Luís will have important reinforcements. Midfielder Victor Hugo, back at the club after a stint in Turkish football, is available again. New signings Saúl Ñíguez, Samuel Lino, and Emerson Royal are also available for the match —all expected to make their second appearances for the red-and-black team.

The coach also has some solid options on the bench. Juninho could appear in attack, while Matheus Gonçalves, who started in the last game, could return to midfield . In defense, Uruguayan Viña remains an alternative, and Spaniard Saúl Ñíguez, who made a strong debut against Galo, is also among those named.
Among the absentees are Danilo, who remains off the roster, and Luiz Araújo, who was left out due to fitness monitoring . Erick Pulgar, still recovering from an injury, is also out, as are Pedro and Wallace Yan, both suspended.

The full-back played only his second match as a Roma player and a renowned publication did not hold back on criticism and questioned the amount paid to Mengão

After a promising and praised debut , right-back Wesley, formerly of Flamengo, received his first criticism in Italy . This Saturday (02), after starting for Roma in the 2-0 victory over Lens, in a pre-season friendly, the 21-year-old was the target of negative comments from the newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
Corriere dello Sport on Wesley, ex-Flamengo: "he's not yet the prodigy full-back"
Wesley played 71 minutes in the match and, despite participating actively, was given a 5.5 rating by the publication. The newspaper questioned whether his performance justified Roma's significant investment of €25 million (approximately R$160 million): "They said he would arrive in top form, as he had been playing in Brazil. But Wesley is not yet the prodigious full-back Roma invested €25 million in ," wrote the sports daily.
Despite its critical tone, Corriere dello Sport acknowledged that it was too early to make a definitive judgment. " We're only in August football ," the publication mused, referring to the preseason. However, it emphasized that "the spark everyone was hoping for hasn't yet appeared" in the first two tests.
On the other hand, the newspaper highlighted the player's offensive potential and left a sign of optimism: " When he advances, Wesley continues to show an untapped potential that, if well worked, can turn into dynamite."
The review contrasts with the assessment made by the same outlet after the full-back's debut in the 3-0 victory over Cannes. On that occasion, Wesley came on in the second half and was described as "the most anticipated player," receiving praise for his dedication on the field: "He runs, runs, and runs some more. Up and down without stopping. He drew applause from the fans," the newspaper wrote after the first game.
While the press is cautious, Roma fans are excited about the Brazilian full-back, formerly of Flamengo . On social media, several fans praised his speed, strength, and chemistry with midfielder Soulé:
“Half an hour of Lens vs Roma and I can say that Wesley is probably the best right-back in the world due to his compatibility with Soulé,” wrote one fan.
"If Soulé understands how to pass the ball at the right time to Wesley, Roma will be very successful . Wesley is extremely fast and strong," commented another.
