Carlos Alcaraz, a young football promise, has been gaining prominence for his versatility and talent on the field. The midfielder has caught the attention of several clubs, including Flamengo, who sees him as a key piece to strengthen their squad. In a precise analysis by Ezequiel Reinoso, Racing sector manager, it is possible to better understand the player's characteristics and potential.
Alcaraz is described as a mixed midfielder, which means that he is not limited to a single role in midfield. His multifunctionality is one of the most valued aspects, allowing him to act in different positions according to the team's needs. Reinoso highlights that the player can be used either on the sides of the field, as a more advanced number 10, or even in his original position, as a midfielder.
FLAMENGO HAS POSITIVE RETROSPECT OF ALCARAZ

This ability to adapt to different roles is a valuable characteristic, especially in a scenario where tactical flexibility is essential to a team's success. Alcaraz differentiates himself from other players by being able to deliver good performance in various roles, without compromising his quality. This makes him an attractive option for coaches looking for versatility and efficiency in a single player.
Alcaraz's playing style also deserves attention. Reinoso emphasizes that the player has a direct game, which means that he always seeks objectivity in his actions within field. This characteristic is reflected in his ability to make deep passes, breaking the opponent's defense lines and creating clear scoring opportunities. In a team like Flamengo, which values dynamic and attacking football, this quality can be extremely useful.

It's finally here! That's because Flamengo finally made its debut in the Copa Libertadores da América , ending the anxiety of the red-and-black fans. For the party to be complete, they only need a victory over Táchira, away from home, in Venezuela. In this sense, Filipe Luís's team achieved their objective, winning the game 1-0 (goal by Juninho) and with the draw between LDU and Córdoba earlier, the team from Gávea also "won" the leadership of its group.
SUMMARY
The first 45 minutes between Táchira and Flamengo were very weak. The game had very few shots on goal or real chances (3 to 1 for the team from Rio). Flamengo had more possession of the ball (61% to 39%), but Táchira pressed forward and caused some scares, mainly in plays generated by Flamengo's mistakes, such as passing errors.
Flamengo's best chance of the game came in the 26th minute. Luiz Araújo received a deep pass from Michael and shot weakly with his right foot, straight at the goalkeeper. Filipe Luís' team felt the lack of greater creative potential in the first half.
In the second half, the red-black team came back a little better, but the creation (the famous last pass) left something to be desired , while the home team looked for a red-black mistake to try something. However, those who try hard are rewarded and that was the case for Flamengo.
At 12 minutes, Juninho came on and with his first touch scored the goal for Flamengo. Alex Sandro passed the ball to Everton Cebolinha, who crossed from the left, Bruno Henrique deflected it to the far post, and Juninho opened the scoring. In the end, the home team gave the red-and-black defense two scares, but was stopped by the Venezuelan team's lack of accuracy and the score remained the same until the final whistle.
AND NOW?
With this result, Flamengo leads group C of the Libertadores with 3 points, two more than Central Córdoba and LDU who have one and Téchira with zero. Now, the red-and-black team is preparing to turn the key to the Brasileirão. This is because it faces Vitóra, at Barradão, next Sunday, at 6:30 pm.

In the second half, the Argentine team came back even better and had great chances to score their first goal in the history of the Libertadores , but LDU 's defense did what it could to avoid it and ended up not changing the score.
Considered the second strongest team in the group, behind Flamengo, the Ecuadorian team played a very poor game and was not defeated by Argentina due to small details.

Due to "security risks", BEPE issues an official statement banning Vasco x Flamengo in São Januário
Military Police reject Cruz-Maltino's request for the game to be held at the stadium, with or without a single crowd; Board will evaluate next steps

The classic between Vasco and Flamengo will not be at São Januário . In an official statement, this Thursday (3), the Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums (BEPE) refused the request of Cruz-Maltino for the game to be at the stadium. The entity, after all, alleges "security risks on the perimeter and inside the sports square" .
The decision was made based on the unit's strategic analyses that point to security risks.
"The SEPM Press Office informs that the command of the Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums (BEPE) opposed the request of the Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama for the next classic between Vasco and Flamengo, scheduled for April 19, to be held at the São Januário Stadium. The decision was made based on the unit's strategic analyses that point to security risks on the perimeter and inside the sports arena in games of this nature" , says the statement.
BUT SO WHAT? WHERE WILL THE GAME BE?
Now, Vasco needs to decide where to host the classic match on April 19th. The CBF regulations prohibit the match from being transferred to another state, since the request for this must be made at least 20 days in advance. In addition, Nilton Santos will host a musical event on the same day and will not be able to host the match. A likely location would be Raulino de Oliveira, in Volta Redonda .
LAST MEETING BETWEEN THE TEAMS AT CRUZMALTINO STADIUM
It is worth remembering that the last match between the teams at São Januário, in 2017, ended in chaos. Flamengo won the match 1-0, and Vasco fans threw bombs and objects at the red-and-black players, who were unable to access the tunnel. There was also an attempt to invade the field and a confrontation with the Military Police.
Since then, the only derby at the stadium took place in 2020 without the presence of fans. The Cruzmaltino adopted the same stance in the Campeonato Carioca, when it took the first game of the semifinal to Engenhão, which Mais Querido won 1-0.
