O Flamengois keeping an eye on the market to reinforce the right-back and, faced with possible difficulties in signing Danilo, from Juventus, the club already has a plan B: the Portuguese Cédric Soares. The player, who recently left Arsenal, is available on the market and could be a viable alternative for Rubro-Negro.

Cédric Soares, aged 32, is an experienced name and has already played for important clubs in the Europe. His career includes spells at teams such as Sporting, Southampton, Inter Milan and, most recently, Arsenal. The experience accumulated in high-level leagues could be a determining factor in his quick adaptation to Brazilian football.


FLAMENGO OPENS UP OPTIONS


Danilo, Flamengo's main target, is still linked to Juventus, and his signing could involve complex negotiations and a high financial investment. Therefore, the Rio club is keeping other options on its radar so as not to be left without a strong reinforcement for the position.

The possible arrival of Cédric Soares could add value to the Flamengo, offering more security and options for coach Jorge Sampaoli in defense. Furthermore, the player's international experience can be a differentiator in competitions such as the Copa Libertadores and the Campeonato Brasileiro.

On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).

In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.


Flamengo may have held the last training session under Tite's command.

With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.

In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.

Forward Michael is back training at Flamengoafter a period away due to an injury to the hamstring of his right thigh. With his recovery complete, he is already participating in activities with the squad and becomes a possible option for the Rubro-Negro coach in the club's next match, this Sunday (29), against Athletico-PR, in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship. .

Michael's presence in training is already an important step forward, but his inclusion in the list of related players still depends on how he responds to the final training sessions before the match. In the coming days, the coaching staff must evaluate the athlete's physical performance and ability to perform in a high-intensity game. The caution is due to the time Michael spent away, which requires a gradual readjustment to training and the rhythm of the game to avoid new complications.


A NEW STAGE FOR MICHAEL 

If it is really related, shirt 30 could bring an interesting offensive alternative to Flamengo. His playing style, marked by speed, dribbling and movement, offers the team a different dynamic in the attacking sector. However, it is necessary to observe how he will behave after his return, considering the need to regain confidence and rhythm after the injury.

The Flamengo coach already has in mind the squad he should use in the Sunday's match, but the possible addition of Michael to the list expands the options, especially at an important moment in the Brazilian Championship, where every point is essential to keep the team at the top of the table. Furthermore, the player's return can help make up for any absences in the attack and add value to the team's tactical system.
