Flamengo returns to the field this coming Thursday (26), when they face Peñarol, in Uruguay, in the second leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals. Thus, before the confrontation, Mais Querido became the headline in a Uruguayan newspaper due to the defeat to Grêmio.
Flamengo's defeat to Grêmio last Sunday (22) became the headline in Uruguay's main newspaper , "El País", which questioned Rubro-Negro for the way it acted in the defeat against the team from Rio Grande do Sul.
Aiming for the decision in Uruguay, Tite chose to preserve 12 athletes and leave them in Rio de Janeiro. Thus, the coach commanded a practically reserve team in the defeat to Grêmio.
With a full bench of Garotos do Ninho, Grêmio opened the scoring, but Rubro-Negro equalized with Matheus Gonçalves. However, the team from Rio Grande do Sul led again 3-2, as Felipe Teresa, also from the base, scored in extra time.

Flamengo was defeated by Grêmio last Sunday (22), in the Brasileirão. However, in addition to the goals, the match was marked by controversies involving refereeing. This is because Carlinhos was sent off after a dubious move involving defender Kannemann. In the summary, the match referee, Matheus Delgado Candançan, explained the reason for the expulsion.
“Expelled for violent conduct by slapping Walter Kannemann in the face outside the ball dispute. He needed medical attention and continued in the match. After the expulsion, on the way to the locker room, the player threw a punch in the var review area, breaking the acrylic”, wrote the referee.
At the time, Carlinhos and Kannemann were fighting for space, out of the referee's view. As the red-black number 22 tried to free himself from the defender's marking, he ended up raising his hand. In the movement, the attacker unintentionally hits the opponent's face. Thus, the player was sent off without the move being reviewed by VAR, which angered Flamengo fans.
With the defeat, Flamengo remained in fourth place on the Brasileirão leaderboard, with just 45 points. Furthermore, Mais Querido saw leader Botafogo open an 11-point lead.
Now, Mais Querido's squad focuses on the decision against Peñarol, in the Libertadores. Next Thursday (26), Rubro-Negro visits the Uruguayans to play the second leg of the quarter-finals. The match will be at 7pm.
