On Sunday night (30), Flamengo beat Cruzeiro by a score of 2-1, in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. However, for the midfielder and captain of the Minas Gerais team, Mais Querido's victory happened because of "details". , but in a dead ball situation we conceded a goal. But it's keeping our heads up, we did positive things. Cruzeiro was scored by midfielder Matheus Pereira. Furthermore, the red and black fans noticed an irregularity in the Minas Gerais team's goal. This is because midfielder Lucas Silva touches the ball with his hand, but the referee ignores the infraction and validates the goal.

With Mais Querido's victory Against Cruzeiro, Flamengo isolated themselves at the top of the Brasileirão, with 27 points. Furthermore, the round was good for the club, as Bahia and Botafogo stumbled. This Monday (1), Palmeiras closes the 13th round in a game against Corinthians.

So, with everyone at their disposal, Flamengo now focuses on the 14th round. Mais Querido faces Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (3), at Arena MRV, in Minas Gerais. The ball starts at 9:30 pm.

Flamengo isolated themselves at the top of the Brasileirão this Sunday night (30), after beating Cruzeiro 2-1. For the confrontation, Tite could not count on Gabigol, who was removed from the list of related players by the Mais Querido football department. After the game, Marcos Braz opened up about the player's removal.

"Flamengo preferred to remove Gabriel afterwards, but also in a conversation I had with his manager, we had a long conversation after the interview that he gave and we understood that Gabriel has already played five games here", began Marcos Braz, shortly after Flamengo's victory against Cruzeiro.

"If he played here today, he would no longer be able to but even travel with the club if he wanted to or if he had any proposals from Brazilian football. We made the choice to reach this moment now, as the businessman also said he wanted to listen and look for some new paths, we will wait for that. wouldn't make this impossible here", added the Flamengo director.

Last Friday (28), Gabigol's businessman revealed that he rejected a renewal proposal with the Most Dear. Furthermore, the player has received inquiries from other Brazilian teams and could sign a pre-contract with another club this Monday (1). Grêmio, Santos and Palmeiras are some teams interested in the player.

"Of course, this has time. We think that this will be done in 10 days, making it clear that Gabriel trains with the group, he trains at the same time, there is no problem whatsoever in relation to Gabriel's day to day life, he is being treated with the greatest respect in the world, we just chose a more direct and straightforward way for him to not complete the sixth or seventh game so as not to send a warning about any situation here in Brazil, which today there is still nothing, just to make it clear", concluded Marcos Braz.

Therefore, if no proposal arrives from another team for Gabigol, the player will once again be listed for Flamengo's games. However, it is possible that the number 99 will be absent from the team again in the match against Atlético-MG, next Wednesday (3), at Arena MRV.

Tite's Flamengo is one of the great sensations of the season. The team is doing very well in 2024. The team's focus is the Cariocão final against Nova Iguaçu. However, beyond that, there are some situations to be resolved. It is worth remembering that the internal transfer window will be open for negotiations.

We can also highlight that behind the scenes, other situations that seek to be resolved by Mengão are about young people from the Flamengo base, who have just become champions of the Libertadores Sub- 20. Among the names, we can highlight the Nigerian athlete Shola, who is in the sights of European football, and Fla wants to buy him to keep him, who is on loan. Another name that is in this scenario is the young Lorran.

The CRF jewel is of interest to many teams in Europe. To give you an idea, Newcastle and Manchester City are two teams that are interested in the Rio team's striker. However, now, according to One Football, John Textor's Crystal Palace is also interested in signing Lorran.

With all these surveys and speculations, there is a great possibility that the striker will leave Mengão towards European football. He still has a contract with the team until the end of 2025. His termination fine is 50 million euros (an amount equivalent to around R$270 million at current prices).

Lorran has been the target of many situations. He is in talks to extend his deal with the team. Fla's idea is to extend the bond until 2028 and increase the fine to 100 million euros (R$ 540 million at current prices).

However, last weekend, information was confirmed that the attacker would be making the renewal difficult. He has been scouted by Europe and could leave the team for a lower-than-expected fee.
