“IT WAS VERY BAD”, GALVÃO BUENO SAYS BRAZIL DISAPPOINTED IN THE WORLD CUP

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.

Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.

In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.

Léo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Fulham (ING) hosted West Ham (ING) this Saturday morning (14), in a game valid for the fourth round of the Premier League. The confrontation brought together Brazilians and former Flamengo Andreas Pereira and Lucas Paquetá, who performed a curious move when Paquetá landed a light elbow at his teammate.

The incident occurred in the 21st minute of the second half, when Andreas Pereira tried to hit Paquetá in midfield. To avoid dribbling, Paquetá made a foul by hitting Andreas with a slight elbow.

Referee Tim Robinson signaled the foul, but chose not to show it yellow card to Lucas Paquetá, who remained on the field until the end of the match. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Andreas Pereira's Fulham are now preparing to face Preston on September 17 , for the FA Cup. Lucas Paquetá's West Ham will only return to the field on September 21st, against Chelsea, in the Premier League.

In the early hours of this Friday (17), FIFA announced that Brazil will host the 10th edition of the Women's World Cup in 2027. Just like the men's World Cup, the entity requests that the competition have exclusivity at the stadium. Therefore, in the letter sent to FIFA by CBF for the candidacy, it was stated that the Brasileirão will stop.

Despite the Brasileirão stop, there is still no guarantee that other competitions will also be stopped, like the Libertadores and Sul-Americana. This is because Conmebol has not yet commented. Thus, the CBF is only committed to its championships.

If Conmebol decides to keep the Libertadores and Sul-Americana during the tournament, Women's World Cup, it is possible that the Flamengowill be left without a place to host its games, as all the major stadiums in Brazil will host the international competition.
