Forward Petterson had his visa regularized and leaves this Thursday (25) for Portugal. Flamengo loaned the 20-year-old player to Estrela Amadora, a team in Portugal's first division. The loan contract between the Portuguese club and Mengão runs until June 2025.

If Estrela Amadora chooses to buy the player, they will have to pay the amount of €750,000 (R$4.4 million ) for 60% of Petterson's economic rights. The information is from Flazoeiro. With 9 goals in 30 games in the 2023 season, the player won three titles in Mengão's youth categories: the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil under-17, both in 2021, and the Brasileirão Under-20 in 2023. After a During his loan period at Athletico Paranaense, Petterson packed his bags for Portugal.

At the Paraná club, he debuted with a goal, but an act of indiscipline caused him to be removed and no longer play. He even had a new loan to Avaí, which didn't happen. Now he will have another chance to prove himself.

The club finished the last season of the Portuguese League in 14th place, with seven wins, 15 defeats and 12 draws. In the League Cup, the team was eliminated in the first round; in the Portuguese Cup, Estrela Amadora fell through in the fourth round.

The result in the Portuguese Championship, however, was considered satisfactory. This is because the team returned to compete in the local elite after 15 years. The objective was maintenance.

In the new team, Petterson can expect to find many Brazilians among his teammates. The club has names like André Luiz and Daniel Cabral (both ex-Flamengo), Bruno Brígido (ex-Criciúma) and Léo Jabá (ex-Corinthians). Currently the club plays in the pre-season of European football.

Currently at different stages in the Brazilian Series A league table, Vasco and Fluminense have a clash scheduled for August 10th, valid for the 22nd round. The date falls on a Saturday, considered perfect for a joyful and festive afternoon/evening at Maracanã, Rio's main football stage. However, there is still no defined location for the classic. According to sources linked to the consortium that manages the stadium, the company responsible for maintaining the pitch contraindicated the transfer, considering that Flamengo will face Palmeiras on the 11th and Bolívar on the 15th.

Although Fluminense is not in charge of the field, the club, as one of Maracanã's concessionaires, should be more involved in the issue. The alternative of playing in Cariacica (ES) was ruled out for security reasons, while Botafogo was not interested in renting the Nilton Santos Stadium to its rivals. Furthermore, the Special Stadium Policing Battalion vetoed the holding of the classic in São Januário. Given this, the possibility of taking the game to cities in the North and Northeast appears behind the scenes, which logistically would not be advantageous for the tricolors.

For Vasco, Playing outside the Southeast Region, in places like Manaus or Belém, would not be a big problem, as the club has a good number of fans in any place in the country. However, Fluminense, who faces Cuiabá at Arena Pantanal this Sunday, would have the opportunity to play three matches in Rio de Janeiro before the clash with Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores — against Bahia, Juventude (for the Copa Brazil) and Vasco. This would represent a comfort that the team would not have if the classic were held outside the Southeast Region.

It is considered absurd that the tricolors cannot play at Maracanã, even though they are not being the hosts of the classic. Although there is concern about preparing the pitch for Flamengo's game against Bolívar the following Thursday, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, many argue that this concern should not override the interest of Rio football. Maracanã, despite being under the management of the Fla-Flu duo for the next 20 years, continues to be a public asset intended to serve Rio's clubs.

Ahead In this scenario, it is crucial that Fluminense takes a more active stance in the search for the classic at Maracanã. The decision directly impacts not only the clubs involved, but also the fans and the tradition of Rio football. It is essential that the stadium, a symbol of national football, is used in a way that meets the interests of all clubs in Rio de Janeiro.
