After almost nine months of intense rehabilitation, Noga resumed training on October 13th. Despite having reached the age of majority, at 21, and being part of the professional squad, instead of taking a well-deserved vacation since the 7th, he chose to give up rest to ensure his full recovery. The objective is clear: to be 100% fit and with a chance to shine in the next Carioca Championship.


DEDICATION AND FOCUS ON RETURN


Noga, who will turn 22 on January 25th, is now training with the group that will compete in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, despite his age preventing him from participating directly in the tournament. However, the simple fact of being part of the training team fills the player with expectations for the next season.


"I feel very good, recovered and ready. I wanted to take advantage of this month now to continue improving myself. I want to starting 2024 with a lot of energy and ready for the challenges. I see it as the year of return and a fresh start for me. And, God willing, it will be a great season," said Gabriel Noga, loyal to Flamengo since he was 10 years old, with a contract extended until December 2024.

THE WAY TO COPINHA AND BEYOND


Before joining the team that will compete in the São Paulo Junior Football Cup, Noga underwent intensive preparation, training for a month and a half with the professional cast. This period was crucial for overcoming fears and resuming practice with ease. "It was a very important period. After many months recovering and going through the entire rehabilitation process, enjoying this final stretch with the group gave me a lot of confidence," highlighted Noga, who, despite being a Ninho calf, was in Gávea last Monday to attend the Flamengo Adidas Cup games.

In addition to the activities on the main field, the multi-champion defender in the youth categories had the opportunity to visit the Flamengo Museum. Reviewing the trophies won in different categories, Noga expressed his satisfaction and emotion for the experience. "I really enjoyed the experience of going to the museum. It's incredible, it's beautiful and full of trophies that I participated in both at the base and professional level. It was a very good feeling. There's a video inside that simulates the player and the fan. It was something that gave me even greater motivation to be on the field and it makes me want to be wearing the Flamengo shirt even more. It had a huge impact on me," concluded Noga, who also adds to his list of achievements the Copa do Brasil U-17 and the World Cup U-17. 17 with the Brazilian team.

FACE 2024 WITH RENEWED ENERGY

Inspired by the cups found in the clubhouse that revealed him, Gabriel Noga begins his own chapter in 2024, eager to return to great style his career in professional football. Dedication, overcoming and the love of the red and black jersey continue to be the pillars that drive Noga on his journey back to the top.

Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro arrives at the clash after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil, with the mission of winning to maintain the leadership of the competition. On the other side, they will have an opponent motivated by a campaign above all expectations .


LEADER AGAINST SURPRISE


Flamengo has 37 points, the same number as Cruzeiro, but leads on goal difference (24 to 19) and still has a game in hand over the Minas Gerais team. A victory at Maracanã will guarantee the Rio de Janeiro club the top of the table at the end of the first round .


Mirassol, meanwhile, is the big revelation in this Série A. In its debut season, the São Paulo team sits fifth with 28 points— the result of seven wins, seven draws, and only two losses in 16 matches . Interestingly, it's the team with the fewest losses in the championship, along with Flamengo . With a victory, the newcomer could enter the top four of the competition.

MIRASSOL MOMENT


If Flamengo wins this Saturday, it will end Mirassol's three-month unbeaten streak. The São Paulo team's last loss was to Red Bull Bragantino on May 5th . Since then, Rafael Guanaes's team has won six and drawn three, with an impressive 77% success rate.

Initial projections pointed to a relegation battle, due to an experienced squad, an average age over 29, and several well-known names, such as midfielder Gabriel, formerly of Flamengo . However, the team's performance in the first round exceeded expectations: third-best attack (27 goals) and sixth-best defense (16 conceded), in addition to good results against more popular opponents.

KNOWN ROUTE

Despite this, the strategy against Flamengo should follow the usual visiting team strategy at Maracanã: a defensive posture, deep lines, and a reliance on counterattacks . Flamengo, in turn, should control possession and look for spaces to create the chances that will secure the victory.
