The FIFA Date is nearing the end and Flamengo is taking advantage of the moment to officially present its new reinforcements. Thus, this Monday (9) it was Gonzalo Plata's turn. The striker highlighted that he usually follows the red and black fans, praised the Nation and revealed his desire to hear the fans singing after scoring goals.
"Many times. I know that in the stadium here there are always 50 thousand, 60 thousand people crazy about football. I hope I can do very important things, score goals and see everyone scream and applaud for doing something good, it will be very special for me", said Gonzalo Plata.
CLEARED TO DEBUT
Gonzalo Plata is already cleared to play for Flamengo, as his name has already appeared in the CBF BID since last week. Therefore, it is likely that his debut will be against Vasco, in the Brasileirão, on the 15th.
Despite being able to debut, Gonzalo Plata and the other reinforcements from Mais Querido will not be able to play in the Copa do Brasil. This is because registrations have closed and they will only be able to join the registration list if Rubro-Negro advances to the next stage.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
Thus, Flamengo returns to the field this coming Thursday (12), in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil against Bahia. The match will be at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm.
After receiving public criticism from coach Filipe Luís, the striker returned to being an undisputed starter and is seen as an asset against Jaconero

Flamengo continues its preparations to face Juventude this Sunday (14), in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The team's second-highest scorer this season, Pedro is expecting to start as a starter and could be one of the main weapons of Filipe Luís' team.
The number 9's record against the opponent excites the fans: in five matches against Juventude, Pedro has already scored six goals and provided one assist . In retrospect, the center forward also has the advantage, with three wins against the Gauchos and only two losses.
The season has been full of ups and downs for Pedro. After recovering from a serious knee injury in April, the striker faced criticism for his performance in training and even became embroiled in controversy off the field . However, he managed to turn things around and is now Flamengo 's second-highest scorer this year, with 12 goals and five assists.
Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship with 47 points (14 wins, five draws, and just two losses) . Just behind them are Cruzeiro with 44 points and Palmeiras with 43. Juventude, their next opponent, is in a difficult situation: they are in 18th place with just 21 points.
With Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The Mais Querido seeks the first victory against Jaconero away from home since 1997 , when with an own goal from Rodrigo Silva, managed to come out victorious.
Unlike other opportunities, Mengão players were not used to their full potential and should be available against Juventude.

Flamengo released a medical report on Wednesday afternoon (10) detailing the situation of the injured players. Jorginho, who had returned to training with the group, still feels pain in his left thigh and should be out against Juventude, on Sunday (14), at 4 pm, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
Jorginho remains in Flamengo 's medical department, undergoing treatment for his left thigh. Therefore, he is unlikely to play against Flamengo . The coaching staff is expected to rest him for the match against Estudiantes on the 18th.
Varela, who returned from the Uruguayan national team with a groin injury, remains doubtful and may not play. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro began training on the field this Wednesday after injuring his left calf, but he is still undergoing physical therapy and is only expected to be fit for the Libertadores match against Estudiantes.
Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar has not played since the Club World Cup defeat to Bayern Munich in June due to a fracture in the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. According to the club, Pulgar will undergo a CT scan this Friday (12) to assess the recovery of his foot and define the next steps before returning to running, working with the ball and joining the group again.
