The match takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Monumental de Núñez Stadium, in Buenos Aires.

In the first clash between River Plate and Colo-Colo, the score ended in a draw at 1 to 1, with one player sent off on each side. Despite dominating possession of the ball, the Chilean team had to look for the result after the Argentines opened the scoring with Pezzella at the end of the first half. In the second stage, the Chileans drew with Carlos Palacios, after an assist from Vidal, a former Flamengo player.

This last Monday (23), the Flamengo squad carried out another activity focusing on the decision against Peñarol, for the return of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. The person who was following the training was Marcos Braz. Mais Querido's vice-president of football even filmed a drone flying over one of the CT Ninho do Urubu fields and made an enigmatic publication.

On his social networks, Marcos Braz posted the moment the drone appeared capturing the player movements on the field. In addition to the video, the manager also says: “Look at him”, mentioning the equipment. At the end of the video, the leader turns the camera to the CT lawn.

With the image, the question remained as to who was responsible for the drone. This is because it is not possible to know if. Is it someone undercover making use of it and wanting to get more information about the Mais Querido team or if it could be equipment used by Tite's technical committee.

The cast of Mais Querido carries out its last activity on Brazilian soil this Tuesday morning (24). This is because the red-and-black delegation leaves for Uruguay this afternoon. .

The clash against Peñarol will be on Thursday (26), at 7pm, at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo. Mais Querido needs to win to qualify for the Libertadores semi-finals.

Flamengo was about to close an agreement with Zenit to sign Claudinho, but negotiations did not progress as expected. The Russian club made negotiations difficult, demanding high amounts and prolonging the talks until the end of the transfer window. This situation almost compromised Flamengo's planning for the remainder of the season, especially during the month of August, when the squad needed to be complete to face the challenges of the ongoing competitions.

Despite this setback, Flamengo's management Flamengo managed to overcome the situation efficiently. Instead of insisting on negotiating with Zenit, the club redirected its focus and brought in a player 5 years younger than Claudinho, for a similar amount to what would be paid to the Russian club. This change in strategy ended up proving beneficial for Flamengo, who not only saved money in terms of the player's age and growth potential, but also guaranteed a signing that, in the end, could be more advantageous in the long term.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN NEGOTIATIONS

Although the delay in the transfer window generated concern and almost compromised the team's performance in August, the board managed to reverse the situation in time. The new reinforcement arrives with great expectations and can contribute significantly to the team, especially considering his age and potential.

The experience serves as a learning experience for the Flamengo in future negotiations, showing that insisting on an option is not always the best strategy, and that being prepared for alternatives can bring even better results. In short, Flamengo knew how to transform a complicated situation into an opportunity. Instead of focusing on the difficulties imposed by Zenit, the board acted quickly and found a solution that, apparently, could be even more advantageous for the club in the medium and long term.
