Palmeiras, coached by Abel Ferreira, beat Atlético Goianiense 3-1 on Thursday night, in the 16th round of the Brasileirão, and now leads the standings alongside Botafogo, coached by Artur Jorge , who defeated Vitória. Both teams benefited from Flamengo's defeat.

Abel Ferreira's team gained an early advantage, through Flaco López, after an assist from Gustavo Gómez. Atlético Goianense still equalized, three minutes later, with a great long-range shot from Shaylon, but Palmeiras definitely went on to win in the second half. In the 51st minute, Raphael Veiga made it 2-1, assisted by young Estêvão William, and just two minutes later, an own goal by Vinicius made the result 3-1, after another move by Estevão.


How much against Botafogo, by Artur Jorge, went to Baía, at Vitória, to win 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by Jefferson Savarino at the hour mark.


Botafogo and Palmeiras - who will face each other in the next round - thus both reached 33 points, and now have two more points at the top of the table than the previous leader, Flamengo, who somewhat surprisingly lost at home, in Maracanã, to Fortaleza, by 2-1.

Some Boys from the Ninho stood out in Flamengo's defeat to Grêmio last Sunday (22), such as Matheus Gonçalves, Lorran and Felipe Teresa. However, some names left something to be desired and were the target of criticism from journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira. Matheus Cunha was one of his main players.

Mauro didn't like the way Matheus Cunha behaved on the field. For the journalist, the first two goals had a good contribution from the archer, who would have done badly in both shots. Mauro still calls the player a “naked goalkeeper”.


“The young people did well. But Matheus Cunha is not capable of being Flamengo's goalkeeper. He missed two goals, bizarre misses. The second, it seems, you know, naked goalkeeper? He goes to play ball with his friends, Aranha doesn't show up to score the goal. Then Maurício Barros appears. From your friends, who play ball with you. He doesn't know how to play in goal. Then he does what, he goes down, defends with his leg instead of defending with his hand, and takes the goal”, compares Mauro.


MAURO QUOTES JORGE SAMPAOLI WHEN TALKING ABOUT MATHEUS CUNHA< /b>

Soon afterwards, Mauro Cezar quotes Jorge Sampaoli to criticize Matheus Cunha. It's worth remembering that the archer was the Argentine coach's starter while commanding Mais Querido.


“It's a ridiculous thing, for a professional goalkeeper to defend like that. There is no condition. Sampaoli's legacy was convincing Matheus Cunha that he plays well with his feet and that he can be Flamengo's goalkeeper. He has no condition, he has to be loaned. He compromised a lot”, he analyzes.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATION

After preserving Rossi, Tite will return to using the main team next Thursday (26) , when Mais Querido faces Peñarol, in the second leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The clash will be at 7pm, in Montevideo.

Loud music in the mixed zone, “title” celebration at the airport, posts on social media with Christ the Redeemer wearing the Peñarol (URU) shirt and the coach mocking Flamengo fans... The Uruguayan team's party after The 1-0 victory at Maracanã, in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals, caught the attention and angered the red and black players. The “exaggerated” celebration also had repercussions in Uruguay, generating an ironic comment from journalist Valentín Fletcher, who teased: “Were you champion?”.

“Congratulations to the Penãrol fans for winning a new championship. Peñarol has been playing at an international level for many years, which doesn't even fit in Uruguay. You won the Maracanã, right? Oh, it didn't come out. I saw a lot of people ecstatic and excited. But… My mistake for not being well informed” said Valentín Fletcher, appearing on the channel 'Las voces del fútbol', from Uruguay.


Criticisms of Arrascaeta and Varela

In addition to mocking the party of Peñarol fans, Fletcher criticized two Uruguayan players who defend Flamengo. “They are a disgrace, starting with the Uruguayans. They have to ask the public for forgiveness. Guille Varela played with the Peñarol shirt (underneath). From Arrascaeta, okay, he's a Peñarol fan, he wants to play for Peñarol. But you have to respect the Flamengo fans”, declared Fletcher.

The journalist recalled that Varela, trained in Peñarol's youth categories, always showed affection for the Montevideo club. Arrascaeta, on several occasions, expressed his desire to end his career with his childhood team, which will precisely be Flamengo's next opponent.

Peñarol's celebrations

The list of Peñarol celebrations at Maracanã was extensive. After the end of the game, the players played loud music, singing and dancing in front of Brazilian journalists. At the airport, the athletes celebrated with the fans, jumping and celebrating together.

In the changing rooms, goalkeeper Aguerre took a photo pointing to the patch with Peñarol's five Libertadores cups (although he had never seen the club to win the tournament, as it was born in 1993 and the last title was in 1987). Coach Diego Aguirre, in turn, celebrated the fact that he “silenced Maracanã”.

There's still a game

With the scenario still open , Peñarol and Flamengo meet again next Thursday (26), this time at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo. After losing 1-0 in the first game, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to guarantee their place in the semi-finals. A 1-0 victory would take the decision to penalties. The match starts at 7pm (Brasília time).

Many players dream of defending the Sacred Mantle, just as many coaches wish to receive an opportunity to coach Flamengo. In an interview, coach Geninho, Brazilian champion with Athletico-PR in 2001, said that he still needs to lead Mais Querido before he can complete his career.

In participation in the program "Mesa Redonda", on TV Gazeta, Geninho answered some quick questions. When asked about "a club he would like to coach, but didn't", the coach immediately responded: Flamengo.


Even though he didn't manage Mais Querido, the 76-year-old coach had the opportunity to command a great idol of Rubro-Negro. In the same joke, he answered who was the best player he led. The coach replied: Petkovic. The two worked together in 1998, at Vitória and also in 2004, at Vasco, and 2008, at Atlético-MG.


GENINHO'S CAREER

Beyond of the Brasileirão with Athletico-PR, in 2001, Geninho also won a Campeonato Paulista with Corinthians, in 2003. The coach also won two state championships in Rio Grande do Norte, a Pernambucano, a Catarinense and a Copa do Nordeste.

Geninho is currently without a club and has not worked since 2022, when he was in charge of Vitória. In addition to Vasco, the coach also commanded Botafogo. In São Paulo, he played for Corinthians and Santos and in Minas Gerais, he managed Atlético-MG. He spent a large part of his career on teams in the Northeast, Central-West and Santa Catarina.
