Jorge Sampaoli has an impressive characteristic about his management of Flamengo: in 32 games, the coach has not repeated a single lineup. However, that same creativity in the distribution of players on the field does not exist when it comes to the names called up as starters. The Uruguayan has reduced the number of players used throughout the season when compared to what other coaches reveal.


Sampaoli has used 29 athletes since his arrival at Flamengo. Of these, 16 have more than 1000 minutes on the field. The information collected, organized and released by 'GE' indicates that the 5 players with the longest service at the club are Fabrício Bruno, Wesley, Gerson, Matheus Cunha and Ayrton Lucas.


A name that stands out due to the minutes in the last month is Luíz Araújo. The playmaker was hired only in May, for 9 million euros (R$ 48 million at the exchange rate at the time). He was only able to start reinforcing Sampaoli's squad in July and since then he has appeared in 10 games. In total he only has 322 minutes, but that's a lot for someone so new to the team.


Another more recent name is Allan. The midfielder joined the team alongside Luiz Araújo and already has 10 matches with the red-black shirt. He has even more time on the field, with 578 minutes and with many more opportunities to enter the field already in the starting lineup. With a good ball output and great combativeness, it is expected that he will have even more space as a constant in the squad.

As for those who don't have much space in recent times, we should mention Everton Cebolinha, Pedro and Santos. Everton has been losing more space lately, in the last three games Mengão has not left the bench, although in the match against Cuiabá, for example, the coach used a lineup mostly from the reserve.


Pedro is the team's top scorer in the 2023 season, but that doesn't stop him from starting to lose his starting spot since June, when Bruno Henrique returned physically recovered and started scoring a series of goals. In addition, one should not forget about the case of aggression that the striker suffered at the end of July. In the next game of the event he was suspended, for missing a training session.

Goalkeeper Santos, the starter at the beginning of Sampaoli's work, lost his spot to Matheus Cunha in May.

It should be mentioned three players who almost did not play for the coach, which led to his departure in the second half of the year. This was the case of Vidal, Marinho and Matheus Gonçalves. The Chilean left for Athletico-PR in July, already uncomfortable with the treatment he received at the end of his time at Flamengo. He even called Sampaoli a "loser" in one of his first interviews at the new club.

Marinho complicated his own life at the club when he refused to travel to the game with Ñublense in Chile, but apologized to the Argentine in a post made after leaving Rubro-Negro. Already the jewel of the base, Matheus, had been having chances with Vitor Pereira, but almost did not play with Sampaoli. Bragantino signed him on loan, and the boy has started to break free.

And the name Rodrigo Caio cannot be overlooked. He who was a very important figure in the last four years of glory at the club is being left aside in this new stage, mainly due to the large number of injuries suffered.

On Sunday afternoon (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), Juventude and Flamengo take to the field at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium , in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . In the previous duel for the competition, Rubro-Negro drew with Grêmio 1-1, at Maracanã, and seeks to find the way to victories away from home.


Due to its relevance, the matchup has even sparked curiosity in the esoteric world. Luiz Filho, a well-known psychic from the YouTube channel "Renascer das Cartas," performed a deck reading for the match. According to him, Juventude " holds the Death card, a powerful card that symbolizes change and strategy, but also highlights potential flaws and mistakes in home plays ."


On the other hand, the team led by Filipe Luís received the "Hanged Man's card." For the seer, this means that the Mais Querido team "will not change its attacking style, but will act more cautiously and will need to work on its emotional side to avoid mistakes."


RECENT RECORDS

In the first round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo thrashed Juventude 6-0. Now, the team from Rio Grande do Sul is looking to maintain its strong record against the Rio de Janeiro team. "Mais Querido" needs a win to remain comfortably at the top of the table.


AND THEN?

After facing Juventude this Sunday (13), Mengão faces Estudiantes for the Copa Libertadores . The match will be valid for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the competition, held at Maracanã.

Palmeiras gave Internacional no chance and won 4-1 this Saturday (13), in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The big name of the night was striker Vitor Roque , who scored three goals. With the result, the São Paulo team reaches the same 21 games as the leader Flamengo and puts itself in the fight for the top of the table.


From the opening whistle, Abel Ferreira's team exerted intense pressure and opened the scoring after just three minutes. After a corner kick, Felipe Anderson pounced on the loose ball and passed it to Vitor Roque, who finished with precision past goalkeeper Rochet .


INTENSE PRESSURE AND EFFICIENCY


The home team's dominance continued intensely. In the 23rd minute, a solo play by Flaco López found the ball in the path of Facundo Torres, who found Vitor Roque again to extend the lead . Five minutes later, in the 28th minute, Lucas Evangelista pounced on a rebound from Felipe Anderson's shot following a short corner kick to score the third goal for the Green and Whites.

Before halftime, in the 42nd minute, Vitor Roque shone once again, completing a pass from Gustavo Gómez and scoring Palmeiras' fourth goal, making it 4-0 in the first half. In the second half, with victory virtually assured, Palmeiras slowed down. Internacional, which had produced little up until then, managed to pull one back in the 26th minute.



PALMEIRAS CLOSES TO THE LEAD

With this result, Palmeiras reaches the same 21-game streak as the leader and reinforces its position as the main contender for the title. Vitor Roque's performance boosts the squad's confidence for the rest of the season.

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) granted this Saturday (13) a suspensive effect to striker Bruno Henrique, punished with a 12-match suspension in a case related to betting manipulation . The decision frees the athlete to play for Mais Querido until the appeal filed by the defense is analyzed by the Court's Plenary.


The ruling cites article 53, § 4, of Law No. 9,615/1998 and article 147-B, item II , of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), determining the suspension of the effects of the penalty until the final judgment.


Despite the legal relief, the number 27 should not enter the field this Sunday (14), against Juventude , for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo reported that the athlete presented pain after training on Saturday and will undergo a load control to be in better conditions for the clash on Thursday (18), against Estudiantes, for the Copa Libertadores .


12-GAME PUNISHMENT REMAINS VALID

If the full court upholds the 12-game penalty, the suspension will be served exclusively in Brazilian Championship matches. To extend the punishment to other competitions, such as international tournaments, the STJD Prosecutor's Office would need to issue a specific notification.


OFFICIAL CLUB NOTE

In a statement, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo emphasized that granting the suspension guarantees the striker's full playing status until the court reviews the case. The statement also mentioned that dissenting votes in the 1st Disciplinary Committee indicated the possible statute of limitations on the sentence.
