Flamengo will try to carry out an operation to have the players called up for the national teams in the match against Grêmio, on the 13th, for the Brasileirão. The club's idea is to minimize the time with important absences, as this game takes place close to the start of the Copa América.
Flamengo will lose five players to selections. They are: Uruguayans Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Nico De la Cruz, Matias Viña and Guillermo Varela, as well as Chilean Erick Pulgar. The club is looking to have everyone in the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, but nothing is certain.
The idea is to send a plane to pick up the players on the 11th. They would arrive in Rio between Tuesday night and On Wednesday morning, they would train, play the match against Grêmio and then return to the teams. This is still not right.
The FIFA Date ends on the 11th. The official period of the Copa América according to the regulations is four days before the premiere, that is, the 19th, as Uruguay plays on June 23rd. For example, Soteldo, from Grêmio, was released by Venezuela to perform only in the second week of June.
The Fla players will remain in Uruguay for training at this time. Coach Marcelo Bielsa will only take 16 athletes to the friendly and did not include the Fla quartet. According to the Uruguayan press, the departures of Arrascaeta, De la Cruz and Viña are certain and that of Varela with high probability. Uruguay goes to Miami on the 6th. A day before, they play the only friendly before the Copa América against Mexico, in Denver.
The case of Erick Pulgar is different. The player was called up for Chile's friendly on the 11th against Paraguay at the National Stadium, in Santiago. The midfielder is on the pre-list of those called up for the Copa América. The 23 selected must present themselves on the 12th to travel to the United States.
"In this time we will be able to rest the players, we have the Copa América which worries us a lot. We will make a tremendous effort to bring the players on the day 11 to play on the 13th against Grêmio. Flamengo will do their part and the players will have to leave there when they are released immediately to come and play against Grêmio. said Braz.

Estudiantes announced this Monday (15) two confirmed absences for the match against Flamengo , valid for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. The match is scheduled for this Thursday, at Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro . The return game will be held seven days later, in Argentina.
The first player to be out is 33-year-old defender González Pírez , a River Plate youth product. The defender suffered a Grade 3 hamstring injury in his right thigh and is expected to be out for at least a month , ruling him out of both matches against the red-and-blacks.

In attack, 27-year-old Colombian Edwuin Cetré is also out of the match in Rio de Janeiro. The forward suffered a grade 1 muscle injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg . He is expected to be available for the return leg on September 25th.

This Thursday (18), Flamengo begins the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores against Estudiantes, at Maracanã. On the eve of the confrontation, the president and idol of the Argentine club, Juan Sebastián Verón, spoke about the expectations for the duel against Rubro-Negro.
During an institutional event in La Plata, Verón highlighted the financial difference between the teams , with Mengão being the team with the highest market value among the tournament participants, but recalled Estudiantes ' tradition of overcoming opponents considered favorites.
Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"
"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.
In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan . In 2007, he returned to Estudiantes and was a key player in their 2009 Copa Libertadores victory.
Verón retired in 2014, but returned to the field three years later as a player-president . His last official match came in 2017, against Botafogo, also in the Copa Libertadores, during the group stage.

Flamengo beat Juventude this Sunday (14), 2-0, in a game valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Defender Danilo started due to Léo Ortiz's suspension and, after the match, highlighted the historical importance of the triumph at Alfredo Jaconi, the stadium where he watched Rubro-Negro as a child .
Danilo on Flamengo's victory against Juventude away: "There was this historical context and we really wanted to change that"
"As a fan, I saw Flamengo suffer a lot here when I was a kid. This was discussed before the game because of this historical context, and we really wanted to change that. And, of course, also for the three points, for our continued progress in the championship. We understand that every game is of the utmost importance . There's no next game, there's this one we're living through," he stated.
The defender then emphasized the importance of the team's mindset: "We've been doing this, working game by game, without thinking too much about the future. I think this is the strategy for achieving great things at the end of the season . Now we're entering a phase where points matter even more, in the last three months. We have to continue this path, giving maximum importance to each moment," he concluded.
With the result in Caxias do Sul, Flamengo beat Juventude again away from home after almost 28 years . The last victory had been on October 1, 1997, 1-0, with an own goal by Rodrigo Costa. Since then, Flamengo has accumulated six draws and seven losses at the Rio Grande do Sul stadium.
Now, Flamengo turns its focus to the Copa Libertadores. The next match will be this Thursday (18), against Estudiantes (ARG), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals. Mengão wants to get a victory with a large score to be more comfortable in the return leg.
