The red-and-black was distressed after images of Gerson limping after Thursday's victory (15) 2-0 over Bolívar in the Libertadores at Maracanã. During the match, Pedro and Gabigol left feeling pain in their thighs and fans were concerned about the Flamengo availability for the sequence heavy with games. But the number 8 reassured the Flamengo fans.
About an hour after the end of the game, Gerson said he felt pain due to a blow he suffered from a player from the Bolivian team. Flamengo's captain said he will recover for duel against Botafogo, which he treated as “war”. “So I stole the ball from the opponent and it hit me in the knee. The lock remained, I turned my knee a little. It's hurting a little, but I'll recover tomorrow, because there's already a war on Sunday.”, stated the number 8.
Gerson believes that Flamengo played a good game and deserved a victory with a more elastic score. The captain credits the 2-0 result to the good performance of Bolívar's goalkeeper Carlos Lampe.
“We knew it would be a difficult game. I thought in the locker room that it was important for us to use the home advantage. We were playing at home, with the support of our fans. From the beginning we showed the opponent that we wanted to score a goal right away. We continued to press and managed to make it 2-0. In my opinion, I think we had the chance to score other goals, but the goalkeeper did well. Victory is important, advantage is important. We also know that it will be a very difficult game there because of the attitude. Now it’s time to rest and before this game we will focus on the classic”, declared Gerson.
The Flamengo captain was yet another to criticize the Brazilian football calendar, endorsing the chorus of Tite and < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/arrascaeta-faz-duras-criticas-a-calendario-brasileiro-apos-lesao-de-pedro-e-junto-dificil" target="_blank">Arrascaeta< /a> in interviews after the first game of the Libertadores round of 16. “It’s complicated, right? The sequence of games, there are many games one after the other. Sometimes we only have two days to rest, it's difficult. As I said before, unfortunately we have nothing to do. Our board has already spoken, other clubs are also speaking. But it's not up to me to come here and talk, we have to get on the field and do our best. I hope it's nothing too serious (with Pedro), but we also have a strong cast. And whoever plays will be prepared to do my job”, concluded the Joker.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. In search of a good advantage for the second leg, coach Tite will have to deal with several important absences in the red and black squad.
Peñarol coach, Diego Aguirre, defined the starting lineup for the match decisive. With no important absences, the Uruguayan team takes to the field with: Aguerre; Léo Coelho, Javier Méndez, Guzmán Rodríguez; Pedro Milans, Eduardo Darías, Damián García, Javier Cabrera, Léo Fernández, Maximiliano Olivera; and Maximiliano Silvera.
Aguirre will have almost his entire squad at his disposal. The only player out of the match is Damian Suarez, who has not yet had his name regularized after his recent arrival at the Uruguayan club. However, Suarez's absence is not a concern, as the coach has a complete squad for the clash against Mengão. b>
On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.
This Thursday's clash is extremely important for the CRF. The Rio team needs a convincing victory to travel more calmly to Uruguay for the second leg, scheduled for September 26th. An impressive score at Maracanã would be essential to guarantee a solid advantage in the tie and ease the pressure for the second game.

With several casualties in the offensive sector, Bruno Henrique, 33 years old, will be the main name in Flamengo's attack in the next matches. The striker, who stands out for his long-standing partnership with Arrascaeta, believes that this harmony will be fundamental for the team to maintain its good performance in the competitions it competes in, such as the Brazilian Championship, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
"We are the players at the front. Arrascaeta is a classic midfielder, who knows how to create plays and finish. Being close to him increases the chances of scoring and assisting. With his quality and the more than six years we have played together, we understand each other just by looking at each other", stated Bruno Henrique in an interview with ESPN.
Flamengo will no longer have Pedro and Everton Cebolinha until the end of the season. Furthermore, Michael and Luiz Araújo are only expected to return to the pitch in the final stretch of 2024. Gabigol, who also faces physical problems, has been used less frequently. With this series of absences, the leading role falls to Bruno Henrique, who has the mission of leading the red and black attack at a decisive moment of the season.
To make up the offensive sector, Mais Querido also has newcomers Gonzalo Plata and Carlinhos, as well as young promises from the club's youth categories. Despite the losses, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique's experience and quality will be enough to keep the team competitive in competitions.
