ESPN broadcast this Monday night (18) the debate between the candidates for the presidency of Flamengo. Among the discussions, Maurício Gomes de Mattos opened up about his plans for football if he is elected. The candidate highlights that he intends to continue with Filipe Luís in charge of the professional team.


MGM questioned Dunshee about investment in the base, including in its technicians. This is because Maurício wants to implement a unique playing style, with Rubro-Negro DNA in all youth categories, unifying the Flamengo way of playing and making it easier for young people who reach the professional ranks. Thus, he guaranteed that he will hire the best scouts and that the choices of coaches will be studied, but that the first move will be to keep Filipe Luís.


“Every year you invest less and hire more, you hire trained players and forget that investment in the base is fundamental. We have to employ the best scouts to not do what they do. They take the guesswork out of hiring a technician. We want a philosophy implemented from Sub-9 to professional level, with Rubro-Negro DNA. Playing the football that we want to see and that we are playing now, because I will keep Filipe Luís, for sure”, says Maurício Gomes de Mattos.


FILIPE LUÍS ON THE MAIN TEAM

Filipe Luístook over Flamengo's main team at the beginning of October, when Tite was fired from the club after being eliminated from the Libertadores and showing low productivity with the squad. Thus, in just over a month in charge of Mais Querido, the former full-back won the Copa do Brasil.


< b>INDECISION ABOUT PERMANENCE

Thus, despite Filipe Luís having recovered the good Flamengo football, the coach's permanence in charge of the main team is still undecided. This is because the club's next president will have to evaluate the former player to give a final answer. Remembering that the Rubro-Negro elections will be held on December 9th.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh.

The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.


MEDICAL EVALUATION


The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).

Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.


CLASSIFICATION SCENARIOS

After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
