This past Monday (21), right-back Malo Gusto, a Chelsea (ING) standout, caught the attention on social media. This is because the player published a photo in which he appears wearing a Flamengo shirt.
Malo Gusto arrived at Chelsea in 2023 and quickly became a key player. During their Club World Cup title campaign, he started every game, except for the 3-1 loss to Flamengo.
Flamengo was the only team to beat Chelsea in the Club World Cup. The teams faced each other in the second round of the group stage, where Flamengo came from behind to beat the English team 3-1.
So, while the Chelsea squad enjoys the holidays, the Flamengo squad remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Thus, Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Wednesday (23), at 9:30 pm, in a clash against Bragantino, for the 16th round of the Brasileirão.

After almost a month away from the pitch due to a problem in his left knee, Nico De La Cruz returned to work with the main squad this week. The Uruguayan midfielder's participation in training created an expectation among the fans for this Wednesday's (13) match, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), against Internacional, at Maracanã, for the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
Despite his physical development, the number 18 is still not guaranteed a presence. The decision should be made this Wednesday afternoon (13) , when the coaching staff will announce those involved in the game. If he is released, De La Cruz should be an option on the bench.
Striker Michael is recovered and ready to be selected for the match against Internacional. However, he is seeking other teams to negotiate with and has been cleared by the board and coaching staff to remain on the sidelines while awaiting a transfer.
De La Cruz's potential return comes at a difficult time for the squad, which will already be without Erick Pulgar and Danilo due to injuries. Arrascaeta is also suspended after receiving his third yellow card in the final round of the group stage against Deportivo Táchira (VEN).
The duel between Flamengo and Internacional starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with live broadcast on Rede Globo, on open TV, and on Disney+, via streaming. The return match is scheduled for next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre.
Commentator sees gross errors on the part of the black and white team and says the club can take inspiration from Mengão to avoid further defeats

For presenter Neto, Corinthians, which announced the signing of former Mengão player Vitinho , should be inspired by Flamengo's defensive solidity . The statement came after the São Paulo club's 2-1 defeat to Juventude last Monday (11), a result that kept the team with 22 points — 18 less than the Brasileirão leader.
Neto on Flamengo's defensive consistency: "How do these guys do it?"
"Football is played in a way you have to understand. Look at Flamengo at home. Do you know how many goals Flamengo conceded at Maracanã? Two goals. Two goals, that's impressive . So, wait a minute. How do these guys do it? Because there's something different about it," Neto pointed out during Band's Os Donos da Bola program.
So far, Corinthians has conceded 23 goals in 19 matches in the Brazilian Championship. When analyzing the defensive performance in the loss to Juventude, Neto was full of criticism, using expressions like "dead," "nasty," "tiriça," and "poorly positioned" to describe the team's performance during the goals conceded at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium.
With a game in hand over Corinthians, Flamengo has conceded just eight goals in the Brasileirão, two of them at the Maracanã . This defensive performance has helped Flamengo maintain its lead, with 40 points, three more than the team in second place.
Along with Neto, Romeu Tuma Jr., president of Corinthians' Deliberative Council, also advocated for the club to follow Flamengo's example: "Corinthians needs to turn the page and rise from the ashes. I want to fly like an eagle; we want to be Flamengo, and we will be, " the director stated.
The red-and-black team welcomes the Gaucho team to Maracanã in a decisive first leg, with confirmed absences and doubts about De La Cruz in the midfield

Maracanã will be the stage, this Wednesday (13), of one of the most anticipated clashes of the season. For the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Flamengo receives Internacional at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) with the mission of getting ahead in the elimination duel.
Coach Filipe Luís , however, must deal with a complicated situation: key players are out of action, and there's still uncertainty about the participation of a starter. The goal will be to find solutions to maintain high performance , even with the forced changes.
Among those who won't be available, Erick Pulgar remains sidelined to complete his recovery from surgery on the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. Danilo, meanwhile, is treating a hamstring injury and, despite already training with physical therapy on the field, isn't expected to return until next weekend.
The list also includes Arrascaeta, who will serve a suspension for the third yellow card he received against Deportivo Táchira (VEN) in the group stage of the competition. Therefore, coach Filipe Luís will have a headache when it comes to replacing the number 10.
The coaching staff's main doubt is Nico De La Cruz . The Uruguayan midfielder hasn't played since July 16 due to a problem in his left knee , but he participated in training sessions during the week.
