Flamengo entered the field in another match of the Brazilian Championship this Saturday. The opponent was Corinthians, at NEO Química Arena. However, interim coach Mário Jorge's men did not play a brilliant game, and were tied 1-1 with Paulistas, thanks to a great goal from midfielder/midfielder Gerson and a penalty goal scored by Fábio Santos. The victory brings Flamengo closer of the championship leaders, that is, dreaming of the national title.
SUMMARY
Under intense rain in Itaquera, Corinthians adopted a more aggressive stance than custom and, in the first 15 minutes, he marked Flamengo's ball out, preventing Everton Ribeiro and Gerson from participating much in the game – this initial pressure also generated chances, such as a shot from Renato Augusto from outside the area that scared the goalkeeper Rossi. However, with more quality than their rival, Rubro-negro gradually imposed their style and pushed Timão back, exchanging passes from one side to the other, with patience, and finding spaces. The departure of Bruno Méndez, injured, and the entry of Fagner, left Mano Menezes' team a little more exposed defensively – and the chances began to appear. The team from São Paulo only had the boy Wesley as an escape valve on the left side, but, alone, he was unable to carry so much danger. In the final stretch, Yuri Alberto still managed a shot after a mistake by Ayrton Lucas, but Rossi saved it. The score didn't come from zero, but Flamengo left the field better.
In the second stage, the panorama remained the same, with Flamengo being the master of the game and having the actions, while Corinthians defended and left when possible. As he played better, the goal wouldn't take long. In this sense, Flamengo opened the scoring with a great cross from Gerson, which was undefendable for goalkeeper Cássio. After the goal, Corinthians tried to be more aggressive, but the red and black team had good control of the game. However, Flamengo "sat" on the result and Corinthians, through dead balls and strength, came forward and ended up achieving it. the draw, with a penalty converted by Fábio Santos.
In the end, it wasn't the best game technically, and the draw was fair.
NOW WHAT?
With the draw, Flamengo is in fifth place with 44 points and could see the distance to the championship leaders increase, as Botafogo, Bragantino, Palmeiras and Grêmio still play in the round this Sunday.
In the next round, Flamengo faces Cruzeiro, in Minas Gerais. The match takes place on 10/19.

José Boto on Fenerbahçe's proposal for Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "this is not a bank"

I know this because the president of Fenerbahçe called me asking how much money Flamengo wanted to release Filipe Luís . I replied that this isn't a bank. We had no intention of selling him. The club even offered more than the contractual fine, but he didn't want to go. He didn't want to abandon this project."
