Flamengo took the lead for a place in the quarter-finals of the Copa Brasil against Palmeiras. This is because they won the first leg at Maracanã, 2-0, where it could have been even more, due to the good red and black game and the pragmatic passivity of the Paulista team. Taking this hook, journalist Renato Maurício Prado blasted coach Abel Ferreira.
In his column on the UOL portal, Renato says that the 2x0 was cheap for Palmeiras and mentions coach Alviverde's attitude, as "cowardly ":
“Cowardly from the lineup to the way of playing, at Maracanã, Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras lost badly to Tite's Flamengo and must raise their hands to the sky for not being beaten, losing the dispute for a place in the Copa do Brasil in the first match.
The score of 2 to 0 was cheap, such was the disparity in performance between the two teams. Rubro-negro dominated the entire game and had at least one. two more clear chances to expand, one with Luís Araújo, the other with Wesley. Both made wrong decisions: Araújo concluded, when he should have passed to Pedro, and the full-back crossed, when he could have shot.
Both difference goals, which force the São Paulo team to win by three more goals, to guarantee their place, or two, to take it to penalties, keeps the confrontation open, but it seems difficult to believe in the Palmeiras turnaround given the opposite moment that the teams are experiencing: Fla reached their fourth consecutive victory; Palmeiras to their fourth defeat in five games.
Abel's discouragement in the interview gave a good measure of the difficulty that the two-time Brazilian champions will face. It's not impossible. But that seems very unlikely, it seems. Flamengo never lost on Allianz's synthetic pitch. And even before its implementation, the last red and black defeat playing as a visitor against Palmeiras was in 2017.
Luís Araújo, improvised on the left (!!!), was decisive: he gave the pass for Pedro to score and he himself found the net with the second goal. Gerson, once again, was a monster, forming a divine trio with De La Cruz and Arrascaeta. Ayrton Lucas also shone, Pulgar did very well and Pedro scored his thirty-first goal of the season - no one in the world has scored the goals like him so far."

In the early afternoon, Flamengo purchased, at auction, the much-dreamed-of land in Gasólogo, where it intends to build its stadium. Of course, the fans on duty have already created it. a jingle: We won the Auction, in the afternoon, and Leilinha, in the evening.
In time: the president of Palmeiras was at Maracanã, where she was very well received and took a selfie with several red and black fans. Oh, and she even got a kiss from Gabriel, who insisted on going to her for the affectionate and provocative kiss (to the red and black board).

Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder.
