Flamengo e Pyramids se enfrentam neste sábado (13), às 14h (de Brasília), no Estádio Al Rayyan, em Doha, no Catar, pela semifinal da Copa Intercontinental. O confronto reúne o campeão da Libertadores e o campeão africano, valendo vaga na grande final do torneio.

Enquanto o time brasileiro busca o bicampeonato mundial, o clube egípcio — fundado há apenas 17 anos — vive o maior momento de sua história. Com forte investimento e elenco competitivo, o Pyramids encara o duelo como uma oportunidade única de alcançar a decisão, o que aumenta o grau de motivação do grupo.

Mesmo tratado como azarão, o time egípcio demonstrou competitividade ao eliminar Auckland City e Al Ahli ao longo da competição. Agora, tenta confirmar essa evolução diante do adversário sul-americano e garantir vaga na final contra o PSG, atual campeão europeu, que já aguarda na decisão.

PROVÁVEL ESCALAÇÃO DO PYRAMIDS

Para o confronto, o técnico Krunoslav Jurčić deve repetir a equipe que superou o Al Ahli nas quartas de final. A provável escalação tem: El Shenawy; Chibi, Galal, Samy e Mohamed Hamdi; Lasheen, Touré, Zalaka, Atef e Hafez; Mayele.

BOM MOMENTO NA TEMPORADA

O Pyramids chega à semifinal contra o Flamengo em boa fase na temporada 2025/26. Somando todas as competições, são 15 vitórias, quatro empates e apenas três derrotas. Vice-líder do Campeonato Egípcio, o time tem 39 gols marcados e 17 sofridos, média próxima de dois gols por partida.

Apesar da derrota recente com equipe reserva, o elenco principal sustenta uma sequência de cinco jogos sem perder, com quatro vitórias e um empate, distribuídos entre a liga nacional e a Champions League Africana. O desempenho reforça a confiança para o duelo decisivo.

DISCURSO CAUTELOSO, MAS CONFIANTE

O tropeço com os reservas não abalou o ambiente interno. Pelo contrário, reforçou o foco do técnico Jurčić na preparação física e mental do grupo, além da atenção à diferença de experiência entre os elencos: “Eles têm isso, o que é importante nesses torneios. Talvez não tenhamos essa parte, pois somos um clube jovem, vivendo essa experiência pela primeira vez. Muito respeito ao Flamengo, mas somos bons. Vocês verão”, afirmou o treinador croata.
