The game against Atlético-GO was a great Uruguayan goal, but from Nico de la Cruz. Arrascaeta had another lackluster performance, at least in the opinion of journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira. The star failed to produce in the difficult 2-1 victory, away from home, last Sunday (14).
For Mauro Cezar, it wasn't Arrascaeta's first bad game, who has been putting up poor performances in recent matches for Flamengo. The journalist's criticism during Posse de Bola, at Uol, was heavy.
“Arrascaeta's poor performance must also be noted. There are games he is playing very badly. But really bad. The acting was terrible, a deplorable thing. Even with the advantage at the end of the game of 11 against ten”, says Mauro.
In addition, Mauro Cezar also criticized Tite's moves and weighed his hand when talking about Flamengo's performance at Serra Dourada. The commentator believes that the coach will make changes after a long sequence using the starters.
“At the end of the game, he puts on Carlinhos and takes off the defender. The defense becomes a big mess. Total disorganization. Flamengo played a very bad game. He didn't deserve to win, regardless of the refereeing. I imagine him making changes for Wednesday, against São Paulo. He will not criticize the team at the press conference. But he must make some changes”, he comments.
Flamengo's next game, against São Paulo, is at Maracanã
The game that Mauro says could have Tite's changes, it is against São Paulo, in the first which takes place at Maracanã in Brasileirão 2024. For the second round, Mais Querido tries to reach six points. The game takes place on Wednesday (17), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
Tite has some options for changes. Léo Ortiz has now arrived and only played one game. In other words, without wear and tear, being able to spare one of the defenders for another of the same level. Varela could return to right-back, as he was left out of the last match due to fever.
Gerson is also an option, as he returned after fully recovering from kidney surgery. Lorran has been well evaluated and is also an option. But possible changes will still be observed by Tite and it is still too early to provide a probable lineup, as the team is still training for the event.

A target for Flamengo in this transfer window , striker Esequiel Barco is going through a delicate situation off the field. According to agent Timur Gurtskaya, the Spartak Moscow (RUS) player is facing family pressure to leave the country. The Argentine's wife has reportedly threatened to file for divorce if he stays in Russia for another season — and, according to reports, has also considered preventing him from seeing their son.
TRAJECTORY AND PROMINENCE IN RUSSIA
At 26, Barco has experience in different markets. Revealed by Independiente (ARG), where he was champion of the Copa Sudamericana against Flamengo , he passed through Atlanta United (USA) and River Plate (ARG) before transferring to Spartak in 2024.
Even amid a tense political scenario in the country, the Argentine had an outstanding performance in his first season in Russia: 36 matches, 14 goals and 9 assists . However, the context of instability has led several South American athletes to consider leaving Russian football — and Barco could be the next.
FLAMENGO SEES IT AS PLAN B
With an eye on strengthening the offensive sector, Flamengo is closely monitoring the situation of Esequiel Barco. However, the Argentine is considered an alternative to the club's main target : Jorge Carrascal, from Dynamo Moscow (RUS), who was close to becoming a reinforcement for Mais Querido.
Negotiations with Dynamo are currently at a standstill, which makes Barco's possible departure from Spartak a scenario that should be carefully explored by the red-black football department . The athlete should finally return to Russia after an extended vacation period due to negotiations with Mengão.
