The goalkeeper trainer, Paulo Grilo congratulated Matheus Cunha for his call up to the Olympic Selection. The Flamengo goalkeeper worked with the professional at the time of Paulo Sousa and is the only Red-Black athlete with the chance to represent the country at the Olympic Games.
Matheus Cunha discovered last Friday (18th), along with the rest of the Brazilian public, that he was part of the Brazilian national team, commanded by Fernando Diniz. The ace received many compliments and congratulations for the feat, including from a former physical trainer.
Paulo Grilo, goalkeeper coach, paid tribute on his social networks to the athlete he worked with. "Congratulations my boy. Summoned to the Olympic Selection. Always together. Everything was worth it and it was fantastic", said the Portuguese in the shared message, which also carried a photograph of both training at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Paulo was with Mengão during the short period of time that coach Paulo Sousa commanded the team. The two Portuguese were at the club for half a season, in the first half of 2022. At this time, Matheus Cunha had just arrived at Flamengo and did not have much space in the team.
Currently, under the command of Jorge Sampaoli, the 22-year-old goalkeeper has taken the place of Santos, who was previously in charge of coach Vítor Pereira.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. In search of a good advantage for the second leg, coach Tite will have to deal with several important absences in the red and black squad.
Peñarol coach, Diego Aguirre, defined the starting lineup for the match decisive. With no important absences, the Uruguayan team takes to the field with: Aguerre; Léo Coelho, Javier Méndez, Guzmán Rodríguez; Pedro Milans, Eduardo Darías, Damián García, Javier Cabrera, Léo Fernández, Maximiliano Olivera; and Maximiliano Silvera.
Aguirre will have almost his entire squad at his disposal. The only player out of the match is Damian Suarez, who has not yet had his name regularized after his recent arrival at the Uruguayan club. However, Suarez's absence is not a concern, as the coach has a complete squad for the clash against Mengão. b>
On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.
This Thursday's clash is extremely important for the CRF. The Rio team needs a convincing victory to travel more calmly to Uruguay for the second leg, scheduled for September 26th. An impressive score at Maracanã would be essential to guarantee a solid advantage in the tie and ease the pressure for the second game.

In preparation for the game against Bahia, coach Tite organized a specific training session for penalty kicks last Monday (9), aiming to reinforce this aspect in the Flamengo. The activity had the participation of all players on the squad, with the aim of improving the athletes' performance in this game situation that can be decisive, especially in moments of pressure.
Among the highlights of the session was the presence of Rossi, the club's recently hired goalkeeper, who, despite having actively participated in training, has a great chance of being on the bench in the clash against Bahia, giving way to Matheus Cunha, current holder of the position. Rossi, despite being an important name and having arrived at Flamengo with good expectations, is still in the process of adapting to the club and, it seems, Tite trusts more in Cunha's agreed word for the next challenges.
A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR FLAMENGO
This type of training is common in periods leading up to important games, where the technical team seeks to fine-tune aspects that can be decisive during a match. In the case of penalties, there is an effort not only to improve the hitters' technique, but also to prepare goalkeepers for decision-making situations, whether during the 90 regulatory minutes or in direct disputes.
Tite, known as Being detailed in his preparation, he understands the importance of being ready for all situations that may arise on the field. In games like the next one against Bahia, a club that struggles to move away from the zone of relegation, any detail can make a difference. A penalty kick, for example, can determine the course of the game, whether in the psychological aspect, giving confidence to the team that converts the penalty, or in the score, which often defines the winner.
