The clash between Internacional and Flamengo in Beira-Rio was widely praised for the high level of play. Coach Roger Machado himself highlighted, in a press conference, that this was the best match of the year in the championship. Journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira shares this opinion, having done a similar analysis in video published on 'Uol'.


“Great game between Internacional and Flamengo, the referee scoring few fouls, two teams looking for the goal . It was a very interesting match, one of the best in this Brazilian Championship.Fair score. First half, Flamengo was better, second half was Internacional. Chances for both sides”, he analyzes.


Mauro Cezar remembers the goal missed by Charly Alcaraz, which could have guaranteed Flamengo's victory before the team conceded the draw.


“Flamengo had the ball of the game with Alcaraz, who scored the goal from the penalty spot, but wasted it a clear chance in the final stage. Enner Valencia came off the bench to equalize with a pass from Wanderson, who also came off the bench following Roger Machado's moves”, says the journalist.

Praise for Flamengo and Internacional's performance


Mauro Cezar praises both Filipe Luís and Roger Machado, highlighting that they are coaches who value possession of the ball and have an attitude offensive. He also notes that the good refereeing of Davi de Oliveira Lacerda, who avoided calling unnecessary fouls, helped to make the game more fluid and intense.

“The combination of two teams that like the ball, with coaches who try to make their teams play football and look for the goal and a referee who doesn't get in the way and doesn't call fouls, this results in a good game. Very good match, fair draw. Flamengo maintains fourth position and Internacional will have to wait a while to overtake and enter the G4”, ends.

Flamengo recently rejected inquiries from three European clubs for defender Léo Pereira . According to the ge portal, Valencia, Sevilla, and Porto have expressed interest in the player , seeking information on the conditions for a potential deal.


Despite contact from representatives, the club's board made it clear that it has no intention of negotiating the player during this window . However, communication between the parties will remain open for future discussions.


FINE OF 60 MILLION EUROS


Currently, the only way for Léo Pereira to leave the Rio de Janeiro club would be to pay the full release clause, set at 60 million euros (approximately R$380 million). A similar situation occurs with Léo Ortiz , who has also been targeted by European clubs.

Signed in 2020 to replace Pablo Marí, the defender arrived after the Spaniard's departure to Arsenal . At the time, Rubro-Negro paid around €7 million (approximately R$32 million) to Athletico-PR.


MULTI-CHAMPION FOR FLAMENGO

Pablo Marí, one of the key players in Flamengo's Libertadores and Brasileirão triumphs in 2019, may be in Atlético-MG's sights. According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, a transfer market specialist, the Minas Gerais club has expressed interest in signing the Spanish defender , currently a starter for Fiorentina.


"Two foreign clubs have shown interest in defender Pablo Marí ," Schira revealed on social media. " Atlético Mineiro is interested in defender Pablo Marí ," the reporter added.


NEGOTIATION WITH ARSENAL


After excelling at Flamengo , Pablo Marí was sold to Arsenal in England in 2020 for 14 million euros. The defender also spent time on loan at Udinese and Monza , before being acquired permanently by the Italian club in 2023.

Thanks to the maintenance of 40% of the economic rights at the time of the transfer, Flamengo made a profit of around R$14.6 million from the negotiation and still has to receive a portion of 680 thousand euros (approximately R$4.35 million), an amount that should be paid soon.


PABLO MARÍ IS A STARTER AT FIORENTINA

In early 2025 , Pablo Marí transferred to Fiorentina, responding to a request from coach Raffaele Palladino , who had previously worked with him at Monza. With a contract until June 2026, the defender is a key player in the Italian club's defense, making an immediate release difficult.
