Estudiantes coach Eduardo Domínguez has previewed the decisive match against Flamengo, scheduled for next Thursday (25), at the UNO Stadium in La Plata. On Monday night (22), after the 1-0 victory over Defensa y Justicia in the Argentine Championship , the coach gave a press conference to comment on the team's preparation and recent controversies.

When asked about CONMEBOL 's overturning of Gonzalo Plata's red card, which cleared the player to play in the match, Domínguez declined to elaborate. " We have to focus on getting through the series. There's no point in talking now about whether he deserved to be sent off earlier or not. The highest authority is CONMEBOL," the coach said, avoiding direct criticism of the organization.

Despite his caution, Domínguez didn't fail to mention Flamengo's influence off the field. "They're a powerful team and have the tools to speak up and apply pressure. And let them speak up. I'm focused on working and demonstrating with our fans ," he stated, also refuting what he called "made-up stories" in the press about the first leg at Maracanã.

TRUST IN THE STRENGTH OF STUDENTS

While acknowledging the quality of the Flamengo squad, Domínguez highlighted the small aggregate score difference— Flamengo won 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro —and reinforced his confidence in Estudiantes' performance at home. "With all their power, we're just one goal behind. We have to study what we did and what we can improve. It will be a very competitive match, and we're strong at home," he emphasized.

TACTICAL ANALYSIS AND EXPECTATION

Domínguez believes Flamengo won't go to La Plata just to defend. " They'll come to defend the result, but they'll also want to have the ball and attack. We believe we know how we have to defend ourselves," analyzed the coach, expressing optimism about the strategy outlined for the decisive Libertadores quarterfinal match.

News from England stirred up the Brazilian football scene this Monday (22). According to information from journalist Samuel Luckhurst, from The Sun newspaper , Manchester United does not intend to renew Casemiro's contract, which runs until June 2026. With that, the Brazilian will be able to sign a pre-contract at the beginning of next year, opening space for negotiations with clubs from other countries.

Naturally, the Red-Black Nation has joined the debate. Flamengo , which has recently taken an aggressive stance in the European market by signing names like Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Saúl, Carrascal, and Emerson Royal , appears as one of the possible destinations for the 33-year-old midfielder.

So far, there's no official proposal, but the issue is already mobilizing fans on social media. According to Gazeta do Urubu, the Mais Querido board isn't yet considering any moves for 2026.

VICTORIOUS HISTORY

Casemiro joined Manchester United in 2022 for a reported €70 million (approximately R$429 million at the time) . Since then, he has made 130 appearances, scoring 18 goals, and providing 11 assists for the Red Devils. Prior to that, he had a distinguished career at Real Madrid, where he played in over 330 matches and won five Champions League titles.

FLAMENGO ASSESSES IMPACT

At Flamengo , the debate revolves around Casemiro's fit into the current squad, led by Filipe Luís. The starting midfield has been formed by Jorginho, Saúl, and Arrascaeta, but the arrival of the experienced midfielder could add marking power , leadership, and international experience to the red-and-black team.

Sesc Flamengo kicks off the 2025/2026 season this Tuesday (23), at 6:30 pm, against Sancor Maringá, at the Moringão gym, in Londrina (PR). The game marks the Rubro-Negro's debut in the Taça Brasil, which also features Gerdau Minas and Londrina Vôlei . The quadrangular matches will be broadcast live on CazéTV.

In addition to the opportunity to perform in front of a passionate volleyball audience, the tournament is considered essential for Sesc Flamengo's preparation for the Campeonato Carioca and the Superliga, scheduled for October.

Last Friday (19), the red-black team beat Batavo Mackenzie by 4 sets to 0, in a training match held at the Army Physical Education School (EsEFEx), in Urca, behind closed doors.

KARINA POINT HIGHLIGHTS IMPORTANCE

One of the standout performers of the training match, with 14 points, outside hitter Karina emphasized the importance of maintaining intensity in all matches of the Taça Brasil. " They will be different games, but we have to go in with the same rhythm and drive . We know we still need to improve our chemistry, after all, we have new players," she said before concluding.

" We had a very positive training match, winning all four sets against Batavo Mackenzie and rotating the group well. We have a lot of room for improvement, especially in communication, but the first step was good," the player said.
