Mais Querido faces the Chilean team today, at 9:30 pm, in the group stage, at Maracanã
|
In Group E of the Libertadores, the Flamengofaces Bolívar (BOL), Millonarios (COL) and Palestino (CHI) in search of a place in the knockout stages of the continental tournament. Coach Tite has the best squad in South America and hopes to have a great campaign. After a 1-1 draw last week against the Colombians, Mais Querido takes the field this Wednesday (10) to face the Chileans. And who do fans have to keep an eye on during the match?
Palestino is an old acquaintance of the red and black team. In 2016, the Chileans eliminated Flamengo in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, and in 2017, Flamengo got revenge in the second round of the Copa Sudamericana. Palestino has a regular campaign in the 2024 Chilean Championship. The team occupies fifth place in the local championship, with seven points gained in four games.
The team has as its main highlight, midfielder Joe Abrigo, 29 years old. The number 14 arrived at the club in 2023 and is the owner of the midfield. The other references are midfielder Pablo Palacio, 23 years old, and defender Cristián Suárez, 37 years old.
Everything indicates that some of these players will be on the field tonight. Abrigo entered the team's last match 14 minutes into the second half and Suárez was in the starting lineup, while Palacio was left out, even though he was available to coach Pablo Sánchez.
It is worth remembering that, while Mengão drew with Millonarios, Palestino was beaten at their own home by Bolívar, losing 4-0. This way, the team has much more to prove than than Tite's squad, which reaches the match unbeaten this season. The match will start at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) and will take place at Maracanã.
Revealed at Fluminense, the 20-year-old striker was already on the red-black radar

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.
Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.
Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.
So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.
The striker received his nickname due to his goal celebrations

Last Wednesday (24), striker Carlinhos secured three points for Flamengo over Vitória. Due to his way of celebrating, the player received the nickname "Bellingham da Gávea" from the red-black fans. Thus, the athlete commented on the joke.
"For me: Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano, I'm a big fan of them and I always try to imitate them. I know there's a lot missing. And I like the fans because they're creative: “it's Adriano Imperador's Avatar”, “Bellingham da Gávea”… That's cool. Here, for the guys, I'm the “thunder” because a partner of mine said: “Can I make a stop at your boot”? forget it", he said, in an interview with FlaTV.
CARLINHOS TALKS ABOUT THE REASON FOR THE CELEBRATIONIn addition to commenting on the fans' joke, Carlinhos also spoke about the meaning of the way he celebrates goals as a Flamengo player.
"I came from an evangelical family, and at home there were a lot of evangelical films. Even though my name is Carlos Moisés, I always liked the opposite side, which is Pharaoh Ramses . My mother would scold me, I would put my hand on my waist (laughs)", he said, before finishing:
"When I grew up, I always did this to her: “Mom, Ramses has arrived”. In this review I told my brothers that this was going to be the celebration. My posture was stupid, but it was more to provoke my mother. This position he takes is one of authority, a bit harshly, I identified with the celebration", he concluded.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATIONSo, with Carlinhos at his disposal, Flamengo started preparation for the clash against Atlético-GO this Friday afternoon (26). The game will be on Sunday (28), valid for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at 4pm.
