Flamengo triumphed over Fluminense 2-0 this Sunday (25), in another round of the Campeonato Carioca. O responsible for the second goal red-black, striker Everton Cebolinha, expressed his joy in contributing to the team's victory in the classic. Furthermore, he shared details about the tribute paid to Gerson, who is away from the team due to a kidney infection.


"Wow, I was looking forward to that goal. I put all my strength into the shot. I'm very happy with the victory. I wanted to dedicate this goal to my partner Gerson. Before the game, we talked and he told me that I would score the goal. I paid tribute to him, the “vapo”. I'm rooting for him to recover soon and help us again. He is very important", stressed Everton Cebolinha.




Gerson started the season as a starter at Flamengo. However, last Sunday (18), the steering wheel began to feel abdominal pain and was taken to the hospital. After tests, it was confirmed that he had a kidney infection.


In light of this situation, Gerson had to be hospitalized to treat the disease . After being discharged, the player continued treatment. However, as the medication had no effect, he will have to undergo surgery. Therefore, the estimated time for his recovery and return to the field is around two months.< /p>LEADERSHIP IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP

With Cebolinha's goal, Mais Querido's leadership in the Carioca Championship became even more defined, as it ruled out the possibility of the tricolor recover in the match. The result of the game left Fla with 24 points, and is now isolated in the leaderboard. Check out the reaction of Flamengo players to their teammate's goal, this Sunday:

São Paulo will have an important absence in the match against Flamengo this Saturday (13), at Maracanã, at 4:30 pm. Although he was expected to return to the team , Lucas Moura will remain out of action. According to the club, the attacking midfielder is still under physical preparation care, despite being clinically recovered from a knee injury.


Lucas Moura hasn't played an official match since May 6th . Although his knee problem has been overcome, the medical department and coaching staff understand that he still needs more time to regain physical conditioning before returning to action. Therefore, his return to action for the São Paulo team will remain postponed.


FIVE OTHER ATHLETES ARE OUT OF THE GAME


In addition to the absence of the number 7, São Paulo will be without Lucas Ferreira (with hip pain), Luciano, Luiz Gustavo, and Calleri, all ruled out by the medical department. The match will also mark Hernán Crespo's return to the team , precisely against the league leaders, in the return of the competition after the Club World Cup.

The São Paulo team's likely starting lineup features significant changes. Crespo is expected to field Rafael; Arboleda, Alan Franco, and Sabino (or Ferraresi); Cédric, Alisson, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio, and Enzo Díaz; Oscar (or Juan Dinenno), and André Silva. Among the confirmed returns to the squad are Marcos Antônio, Ferreirinha, and Oscar, who have been sidelined since early June.


MATCH BETWEEN SÃO PAULO AND FLAMENGO

The match between São Paulo and Flamengo will be held at Maracanã Stadium at 4:30 p.m. this Saturday, part of the 13th round of the Brasileirão.

Signed with star status, Gabigol is still seeking regular starting positions at Cruzeiro. Unlike what he became accustomed to during his years as a star player at Flamengo, the striker is currently in a transitional phase. Even though he's not a regular in the starting eleven, he's been touted as an important player in Leonardo Jardim's project.


Pedro Junio, vice president of the Minas Gerais club, emphasized in an interview with the program Donos da Bola that the number 9 did not disappoint. According to the director, the striker has fulfilled everything agreed upon at the time of his signing, both on the field and in marketing. " He delivers everything we agreed on, both in the sporting and commercial and marketing aspects . Gabriel was a package deal we signed, and he delivers," he noted.


BOARD DEFENDS GABIGOL'S PARTICIPATION


Since arriving at Toca da Raposa, Gabigol has started 11 matches, initially under Fernando Diniz and later under Leonardo Jardim. Following the 1-1 draw with São Paulo on April 13th, in the third round of the Brasileirão , the striker has lost his place in the starting lineup. Even so, management emphasizes that there is no dissatisfaction or bad blood behind the scenes.

" Cruzeiro's advantage is that everyone understands that Cruzeiro is the top priority. Regardless of who's playing or not," explained Pedro Junio, highlighting the positive internal atmosphere at the club and the players' maturity in accepting coaching decisions.


GABIGOL REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO CRUZEIRO

Despite recurring speculation that he's unhappy about not being a regular starter, Gabigol has publicly expressed his composure about this new phase. After the 2-0 victory over Vila Nova on May 1st in the Copa do Brasil , the striker addressed the issue directly.

" I'm very calm about it. I know the pressure there is , and there are a lot of people who say things without realizing it. I try to work hard, show my football skills on the field," he said. On that occasion, the striker also highlighted the welcome he received at the club and reinforced his desire to continue contributing.

Flamengo returns to the national stage this Saturday (12), after a stint at the Club World Cup, with full focus on the Brazilian Championship.
