Shirt 99 is 'living for today'
|
0One of the hopes of Flamengo fans in the game against Peñarol, a match that could qualify Rubro-Negro for the semi-final stage of the Libertadores, striker Gabigol is uncertain about his future. The 99 shirt has a contract until December, but he refused to offer for another year of Mais Querido. According to journalist André Hernan, from UOL, the player is 'living for today'.
“Gabigol, what I have information on, is that in his mind he still doesn't have a future. There isn't a club where he already has something lined up, there isn't a proposal like the one from Palmeiras, which Palmeiras withdrew because Gabigol wasn't willing to sign a pre-contract to stay at Flamengo until the end of the year. What is Gabigol's idea? Living today, Gabigol is living today intensely, he will do his best, he wants to play in the Libertadores, Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil, wherever he is selected, he wants to play”, said Hernan live.
Still according to the journalist, if Gabigol does not renew with Flamengo, he has one request: to have a big farewell. At Mais Querido since 2019, Gabi has four Cariocas, two Brazilian Super Cups, one Recopa Sul-Americana, one Copa do Brasil, two Brasileiros and two Libertadores.
“Ah, but if you don’t renew at the end of the year. Okay, he's going to follow his future and he wants a farewell worthy of the size he has at Flamengo, the size of the achievements he had at the club. So, this is Gabigol's thoughts today: live in the moment, tomorrow will be resolved later. What he wants is to leave Flamengo big, the size he built his career at Flamengo, the titles he won”, he concluded on the De Primeira program.
To stay at Flamengo, Gabigol wants five-year contractPreviously, in 2023, Gabigol and Flamengo agreed to renew the contract for five years. However, with the striker's drop in performance, Mengão went back and now only wants one more year of commitment. The obstacle is done.

Argentine star evaluates the possibility of playing in South American football,
|
0Lionel Messi, who has a contract with Inter Miami until December 2025, is reportedly considering leaving the United States to play, for the first time, in South American football. The information comes from the German newspaper Bild, and surprised the world of football, including Brazil, where clubs like Mengão, Corinthians and Palmeiras usually make large investments in renowned players.
However, despite the interest that could emerging from Brazilian giants, Messi's desire would be to return to Argentina to defend Newell's Old Boys, his formative club. The star left the Argentine team at the age of 13 to join the Barcelona academy, where he built a historic career, winning 10 La Liga titles, four UEFA Champions Leagues and three FIFA Club World Cups.
After a long and successful spell at Barcelona, Messi transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021, where he played alongside Neymar and Mbappé. However, despite expectations, the Parisian team failed to achieve major continental achievements during their stay. At the end of his contract with PSG, Messi decided to try North American football, playing in Major League Soccer (MLS) for Inter Miami, David Beckham's club.
Now, at 37 years old, the Argentine is studying a return to South American football, with the intention of playing in the Copa Libertadores. This move would mark a new chapter in his career, this time closer to his home country and his first fans.
If Messi chose to play in Brazil, the CRF could repeat great signings from the past, as it did in 1995 when bringing Romário from Barcelona, when "Baixinho" was the best player in the world. Furthermore, in 2011, Mais Querido convinced Milan to release Ronaldinho Gaúcho, also voted the best player in the world twice in the 2000s. Messi, with his vast experience and achievements, would certainly attract the interest of any major South American club , including Mengão.
Mengão needs to win by two goals to avoid a penalty shootout
|
0Flamengo faces one of the biggest challenges of the season in this decisive match against Peñarol. Needing a victory by two goals to avoid having to rely on penalties, Mais Querido enters the field without its main striker, Pedro, who was decisive on the occasions when the club opened this advantage in recent games. The last time CRF achieved a victory with two goals difference without the number 9 was in January, in the Campeonato Carioca, against Sampaio Corrêa.
Since then, eight months have passed, and the coach Tite is still looking for an offensive formation that maintains the effectiveness of the attack without Pedro. The striker suffered a serious injury at the beginning of September, and since then, Bruno Henrique has been improvised to perform his role. The information is from the MRN portal.
The last occasion in which Flamengo won by two goals without counting on Pedro was on January 31st, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Carioca Championship, against Sampaio Corrêa. In that game, played at the Mangueirão stadium, in Pará, Mengão triumphed 2-0, with goals from Gabigol and Bruno Henrique, both acting as substitutes for Pedro.
Interestingly, the attacker was on the bench and did not enter the field due to Tite's technical choice, who opted for an offensive trio made up of Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Gerson. In that match, Flamengo also had offensive reinforcements such as Matheus Gonçalves and Luiz Araújo, who entered in the second half to increase the team's firepower.
With Pedro out of action, Tite should bet on Bruno Henrique as a reference in the attack. Flamengo's probable lineup to face Peñarol includes: Rossi, Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Pulgar, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, Gerson, Plata and Bruno Henrique. Mengão will seek to repeat January's success to guarantee classification and continue the season.
