For the Mais Querido, the "Lovers" and "3 of Cups" cards were associated with clarity of decision-making, positive transformations, and greater collective harmony. Luiz Filho interprets these signs as an indication that Flamengo will be able to make the right choices during the match , improve its ball possession, and execute its offensive attacks more efficiently.


Flamengo , with some changes and choices, can evolve in the game, something they have been striving for a lot, ” highlighted the tarot reader, who also stressed the need for an expressive performance for the team to establish itself.


ANALYSIS POINTS OUT DIFFICULTIES

For Mirassol, the "Death" card was interpreted as an indication of challenges and changes that could hinder the São Paulo team's performance. Although the team is resolutely attacking, Luiz Filho warned of potential defensive weakness, with plenty of space open to the opponent.


THE GAME PROMISES TO BE OPEN

The card representing the match as a whole was number "4," signaling a close encounter in which both teams should launch attacks , providing a dynamic spectacle and scoring opportunities for both sides.

Attacking midfielder Matheus Gonçalves is increasingly close to leaving Flamengo . CSKA Moscow, from Russia, sent an official letter to the Rio de Janeiro club expressing interest in signing the young athlete. The information was initially reported by journalist Venê Casagrande and confirmed by the Russian website SportExpress.


Although there is no formal proposal yet, talks between the parties are already at an advanced stage and could lead to an agreement in the coming days. Matheus, 18, is considered one of the brightest prospects in Flamengo 's youth academy, but he is struggling to gain a place in the professional squad led by Filipe Luís.


PLAYER ANALYZES SITUATION


The athlete wishes to remain at the club, but has not ruled out a transfer if opportunities remain limited. The player's representatives are awaiting a meeting with the board to discuss the team's plans and assess the amount needed to finalize a potential exit.

Matheus Gonçalves was recently very close to signing with Cruzeiro for €3.5 million (approximately R$22.8 million). However, Flamengo pulled out of the deal in the final moments, frustrating the expectations of the Minas Gerais club, which had already considered the signing virtually certain.


NO SPACE IN THE PROFESSIONAL

Without a sequence in the main team, the youngster returned to play for the under-20s, where he stood out in a friendly against Bayer Leverkusen , won 5-1. His last match as a starter in the professional team was in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Betano do Brasil, against Atlético-MG, but the discreet performance ended up cooling new chances in the team.
