Confidence in victory

One of the highlights of the squad, the wing spiker Helena recalled that the last few weeks were spent studying the opponent in detail and showed confidence in the group's ability to react, having already come out victorious against Osasco twice in the qualifying phase, by 3-1 and 3-0.

We are confident, training and studying our mistakes a lot and what we can improve.

"In the first set of the last game, we played very well, but we let the match slip away in the sequence. We were unable to apply what we had studied throughout the last week, and they deserved what they did. But now, for the second game, I think everyone is very aware of what they need to do, because we know our capabilities and we have already beaten them twice this season. We are confident, training and studying our mistakes a lot and what we can improve to do differently and reverse this disadvantage in the playoffs" , said Helena.

The Brazilian national team is facing a crisis after the 4-1 defeat to Argentina in the last round of the World Cup qualifiers. The result culminated in the dismissal of coach Dorival Júnior, generating expectations about the new coach and intensifying the debate about the lack of a reliable number 9. So far, names like João Pedro , Igor Jesus and Matheus Cunha have not managed to establish themselves in the position. For Ronaldo Fenômeno , however, the solution may lie in Flamengo .

I like Pedro. Great center forward", Ronaldo

“I like Pedro. He’s a great center forward, with presence in the area , he protects the ball well , and shoots well with both feet . Pedro will definitely have an opportunity when he returns from his injury,” said Ronaldo Fenômeno on the program “ Galvão e Amigos ”, on Band, last Monday (31).

OTHER PROBLEMS IN SELECTION

In addition to the lack of a decisive number 9, Ronaldo Fenômeno pointed out other problems faced by the Brazilian National Team . The two-time world champion highlighted tactical issues and a lack of attitude as factors that prevent the team from playing convincing football.

“We have many other problems up front, as a team. Judging by the last few games I’ve seen from the national team , they’re also lacking courage and attitude in the game. The big challenge is to reconnect with the Brazilian national team shirt, to reconnect the people with the ‘yellow jersey’. Then it will improve a lot for everyone,” analyzed Ronaldo.

PETER'S SITUATION

The hope of Ronaldo and Flamengo fans, Pedro has already recovered clinically and is close to returning to the field. Rubro-Negro is working to count on the striker on April 9, against Central Córdoba (ARG), for the Libertadores, or on April 16 , against Juventude, for the Brasileirão. Both games will be played at Maracanã.

While Pedro improves his physical condition, Flamengo faces an intense sequence of matches . This Thursday (03), the team faces Deportivo Táchira (VEN), away from home, in the debut of the Libertadores. On Sunday (06), the challenge will be against Vitória , in Salvador, for the Brasileirão.

The Copa Libertadores will start this Tuesday (1). Thus, Conmebol announced a series of changes to the competition's regulations and defined that the eight-second rule will be present in this edition .

The new rule highlights that if the goalkeeper holds the ball for more than eight seconds, the referee will have to award a corner to the opposing team.

"From now on, goalkeepers will be able to keep the ball for a maximum of eight seconds.

If they exceed this time, they will be penalized with a corner kick in favor of the opposing team. This new rule aims to speed up the game and avoid unnecessary delays ", the entity published.

OLD RULE

It is worth remembering that in the old regulations, it was determined that if the goalkeeper delayed the ball throw-in, an indirect free kick would be awarded. However, it was rarely respected by referees and goalkeepers.

FLAMENGO'S DEBUT

Thus, Flamengo continues to prepare for its debut in the Libertadores . The Most Beloved takes to the field on Thursday (3), in a clash against Deportivo Táchira (VEN ), at 9:30 pm, at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo Stadium.
