In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo lost to Athletico-PR 3-0 this Wednesday (13), at the Kleber Andrade stadium, in Cariacica-ES. Now, Rubro-Negro focuses on the first game of the grand final of the Copa do Brasil against São Paulo, on Sunday (17).
The game
Flamengo started the match valuing possession of the ball and exchanging passes in the offensive field. The red and black team's first good arrival was just after two minutes. Gerson headed the ball to Pedro, who passed it to Gabi to invade the area and hit it first time. Léo Linck made a good save and sent it to the corner.
With a greater volume of play, the red-black team occupied the attacking field, but found it difficult to penetrate Athletico's area. At 18', Cebolinha dominated on the left, cut to the middle and risked a shot, but Léo Linck made the save.
Athletico took the lead at 26'. Vítor Bueno risked a shot from the midfielder, the ball deflected off Pedro and made it difficult for Matheus Cunha to defend. Cacá got the rebound and opened the scoring in Cariacica: 1 to 0.
Fla barely managed to equalize at the end of the first half. Gabi took a corner at the first post, Léo Pereira headed towards the goal and Madson saved on the line. The team from Paraná went into the break with the advantage.
Coach Jorge Sampaoli returned for the second stage with two substitutions: Everton Ribeiro replacing Victor Hugo and Allan replacing David Luiz. With the changes, the red and black team became a little more organized defensively, but still found it difficult to create plays in attack.
At 20', Gabi received a direct red card after elbowing Cuello, leaving the team with one man less. Good chance created by Fla at 30’. Gerson made a good move and passed it to Pedro, who hit it in the corner, but the goalkeeper made another good save.
In the final minutes, Athletico extended the lead with Alex Santana, who finished first time into the right corner by Matheus Cunha: 2 to 0. In stoppage time, the team from Paraná also scored the third penalty with Pablo.

Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
According to Flamengo's plan https://www.flamengo.com.br/ , the coaching staff sees no room for the striker in the current roster rotation. The departure is part of a series of market moves to reduce the number of players outside the coach's plans.
Midfielder Victor Hugo has agreed to a loan move to Santos , a deal expected to be finalized in the coming hours. The news was reported by journalist Venê Casagrande and confirms another transfer window departure.
The 21-year-old had returned to Brazilian football after a stint in Turkey, but failed to make the first team. Facing direct competition from the likes of Luiz Araújo, Plata, and Matheus Gonçalves, the youngster opted to move to Vila Belmiro , despite interest from Corinthians .
Matheus Gonçalves, sold to Al Ahli;
Lorran, on loan to Pisa;
Victor Hugo, sent to Santos.
Midfielder returns to training after muscle discomfort, is included and can reinforce Mais Querido against Grêmio at Maracanã.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.
Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.
If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.
Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.
After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
A significant reduction in payroll following the departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran helps Mais Querido maintain financial stability.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.
The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.
One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
After achieving the biggest victory in the points era, beating Vitória 8-0, the isolated leader of the Brasileirão returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the competition.
