After more than two weeks of interruption, the Brazilian Under-20 Championship returns with a heavyweight clash in the 13th round. This Wednesday (11), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo will host Corinthians at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. The game will be broadcast live on the closed channel SporTV.
In fourth place with 23 points, Mais Querido enters the field with an eye on the possibility of moving up one position in the table. To do so, in addition to winning the duel against Corinthians, Rubro-Negro needs to count on RB Bragantino slipping up against leader Palmeiras. With this combination, the Rio de Janeiro club can take third place or, at the very least, tie in points with Athletico-PR, second place, if the team from Paraná is defeated by Fluminense.
In the previous match, the team led by Nuno Campos lost 2-1 to Palmeiras, away from home, at Arena Barueri. The match was played on synthetic grass, where the São Paulo team also plays its professional team games. With the result, Rubro-Negro has accumulated six wins, two draws and four losses so far in the tournament.
Pedro Leão is the main name in Flamengo 's attack in the competition. With six goals scored, the number 9 leads both in number of goals and direct participation in offensive plays . On the other hand, the Rio de Janeiro team will be without striker Shola, who will serve a suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Corinthians comes into the match under pressure. In 15th place, with only 14 points, the São Paulo club is urgently seeking a recovery to distance itself from the relegation zone. Facing Mengão away from home represents another difficult challenge for the black and white team, which has only won three games in the competition so far.
FLAMENGO : Lucas Furtado; Wanderson, Da Mata, Iago, Daniel Sales; Fabiano, Rayan, Jorge Mora, Guilherme; Pedro Leão and Shola's replacement (to be defined). Coach: Nuno Campos.
CORINTHIANS : Cadu; Vitinho, Fernando, Denner, Lorenzo; Coach: Orlando Ribeiro.
Recently signed by Mengão, the player is part of Néstor Lorenzo's squad for the decisive games against Bolivia and Venezuela, which will determine the team's future.

Newly arrived at Flamengo, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was called up by the Colombian national team for the last two rounds of the South American World Cup Qualifiers. The list was released this Friday (29) by the Colombian Football Federation and coach Néstor Lorenzo.
Besides Carrascal, only one other Brazilian soccer player was called up: Bahia's Santiago Arias. In total, the 26 players called up are spread across 12 different countries , reinforcing the Colombian national team's international reach.
The Colombian national team will play its final two qualifiers in September. On the 4th, it faces Bolivia in Barranquilla. Next, it travels to face Venezuela at the Monumental Stadium in Maturín.
Currently in 6th place with 22 points, Colombia holds the final spot for direct qualification to the World Cup . The outlook is balanced: a string of victories could vault them into the top spots, but slip-ups could prove costly , as Venezuela (18 points) and Bolivia (17 points) still dream of qualifying.
Unlike Brazil, which has already secured its spot and is using the final matches as a time for coach Carlo Ancelotti's observations, Colombia is playing for its future participation in the World Cup. If it doesn't win, it could finish in 7th place , a position that only qualifies for the intercontinental playoff organized by FIFA .

In addition to the youngsters revealed at the base, Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta was also honored this Friday (29) at Ninho do Urubu. The midfielder reached a historic mark by becoming the player with the most assists in the history of the Brazilian Championship, surpassing established idols of national football.
Currently with 78 assists, the number 10 surpassed stars like Marcelinho Carioca, Edmundo, Dudu, Pelé, Zico, and Éverton Ribeiro. For this achievement, he received a commemorative plaque from football director José Boto, in recognition of his career and impact on Brazilian football. Of his total, 60 assists were for Cruzeiro , while another 18 were recorded for Cruzeiro between 2015 and 2018.
This season, Arrascaeta has played 41 matches, scored 16 goals, and provided 13 assists. Since joining the Rio de Janeiro club, only in 2021 has he failed to reach double figures in both goals and assists. So far, he has 102 assists in all competitions for the red-and-black team.
Flamengo has resumed negotiations with midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta to extend his contract, currently valid until December 2026. The club intends to ensure the continuity of one of the most decisive athletes in the squad , a central piece in recent achievements.
The next commitment will be this Sunday (1), at 4 pm, against Grêmio, at Maracanã , for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The Uruguayan will have another opportunity to further increase the numbers that already place him in the history of the tournament and reinforce his weight in the Mengão squad.
After being cleared of misconduct charges by the English FA, the midfielder has once again attracted interest in the European market. West Ham's millionaire value

Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Manchester City are monitoring the situation of Lucas Paquetá, a West Ham standout and highly valued player in English football. The move comes shortly after the player was acquitted of misconduct charges involving sports betting.
The London club, however, has no intention of facilitating the midfielder's departure and has set a price of £60 to £70 million to release him . This figure is considered out of reach for most clubs at the moment, which could hinder any concrete approach.
At the start of the current season, Paquetá was offered a transfer to Flamengo through his representatives. At the time, West Ham was asking for around £30 million, but negotiations stalled due to the ongoing legal process . Today, the situation is different, as the player has established himself as one of the key players in the English squad.
A possible return to Rio de Janeiro football could have been considered in a different context, but the club has already strengthened its squad with Samuel Lino, Samu, and Emerson Royal, which reduces the immediate need to invest in another midfielder . Even so, it's not ruled out that there may be room for a rapprochement at some point in the future.
Despite the obstacles, the desire of both parties remains alive. Paquetá has expressed his affection and desire to wear the red-and-black jersey again on other occasions , while the club also dreams of having the athlete back. For now, it's a distant possibility, but not ruled out.
