In a little creativity match, Flamengo tied with Fluminense 0-0, this Saturday (8), in Maracanã, for the 9th round of the Carioca Championship. In analyzing the confrontation, in a live on YouTube, journalist Renato Maurício Prado identified a shortage in the red-black cast for the season. "> In the communicator's view, Flamengo's board urgently needs to go after a sock on the market. For him, the team felt the absences of De La Cruz and Arrascaeta, who were spared by Filipe Luís. Renato pointed out that it is necessary to have a replacement for the industry with players who know how to set the game.
- I think Which makes sense of Philip Louis to try to manage the Arrascaeta, but not only him. We saw last year that when Flamengo needed the most, several players were injured. Now the club needs a reserve shipowner. Alcaraz was a possibility for this, but ended up to Everton (from England) - the journalist started, adding:. - The club preferred to sell it, but urgently needs to bring someone. 'Ah, but Jorginho (Arsenal) can come.' But if this happens, it will only be in the middle of the year. And Flamengo will be playing Brazilian, Libertadores, everything. So the board cannot wait. You need to go after shipowners, you don't have to be a star, but you need to know how to arm the team on the field - concluded. It was the classic between Fluminense and Flamengo
in the field, the teams of Philip Louis and Mano Menezes did not provide a good match. The confrontation was marked by many faults, little creativity and consequently few chances of goals. The draw was not good for either team. However, the result was worse for Tricolor, which is still in the 8th place of the state, with 11 points, one less than Botafogo, the first club of G-4.
on the other hand, Flamengo remained among the first places Even with the draw against the rival. Coach Filipe Luís team occupies the 2nd place of the tournament, with 14 points, behind only the leader Volta Redonda, who already has 16.
The coach was close to returning to Mengão at one point, but the club's rush resulted in the hiring of another professional

An idol among Flamengo fans for his historic work between 2019 and 2020, Jorge Jesus still dreams of returning to manage Flamengo . This information was revealed by Kleber Leite, the club's former president and a personal friend of the coach. According to him, the coach would accept an offer to return to the club.
In an interview with Canal Mundo GV, hosted by former goalkeeper Getúlio Vargas, Kleber revealed that Jorge Jesus was very close to re-signing Flamengo in 2021, following Renato Gaúcho's departure. At the time, Flamengo's board traveled to Portugal to negotiate directly with the coach . A meeting was even held, but after asking for time to decide, Jesus decided to sign Paulo Sousa.
"He could have been at Flamengo a long time ago. (...) You know that story about you running to avoid getting there? Flamengo ran to avoid getting there. They didn't want to, actually, that's it. (...) I have no doubt that Jesus would accept an offer from Flamengo . Here or even with the Brazilian national team, where they also lost their chance. He was the coach at the time," declared Kleber Leite.
Jorge Jesus achieved impressive numbers with Flamengo. In 58 games, the Mais Querido under his command achieved 44 wins, 10 draws and only four losses, an 81.6% success rate . Under his command, the Rubro-Negro won the following titles: Libertadores (2019), Brazilian Championship (2019), Brazilian Super Cup (2020), Recopa Sudamericana (2020) and Campeonato Carioca (2020).
With more trophies than defeats, Jorge Jesus made his mark at Flamengo, leading the team to its peak under the brilliance of the quartet formed by Gabigol, Arrascaeta, Everton Ribeiro and Bruno Henrique and still having his name on the lips of the red-black fans.
