Flamengo presented, on the afternoon of this Thursday (5), left-back Alex Sandro, in a ceremony held at Ninho do Urubu. With extensive experience in European football, the player returns to Brazil to reinforce the left side of the red-and-black team, which recently lost Matías Viña due to injury. Alex Sandro will wear the number 26 shirt and showed enthusiasm for the new phase of his career.
REUNION WITH CARLOS ALCARAZ
During the press conference, Alex Sandro revealed that he will have the opportunity to meet an old teammate from his Juventus days, Argentine midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, who was also one of Flamengo's recent signings. The full-back shared that they both talked about their future moves to the Rio club.
“When Alcaraz was negotiating with Flamengo, he asked me if I would also come. He even said: ‘If you go, I will go’. This shows how excited he was to play here, and I'm happy to see him again at a club as big as Flamengo”, said Alex Sandro.
< b>EXPECTATIONS AND FIRST ACTIVITIES
Alex Sandro also expressed his anxiety to feel the Flamengo fans and play at Maracanã. “I'm looking forward to this moment and I hope to be well prepared for when I have the opportunity”, added the full-back.
Before the press conference, Alex Sandro was already registered in the CBF's Daily Newsletter (BID). Despite being available for the game against Corinthians last Sunday (1st), he chose not to participate in the match, as he had not yet trained with the team.
After the game against Corinthians, the squad Flamengo received three days off. However, Alex Sandro and Gonzalo Plata, another recent hire, took advantage of the period to train at CT Ninho do Urubu. Only this Thursday (5), both participated in their first activity with their new companions.
Military Police reject Cruz-Maltino's request for the game to be held at the stadium, with or without a single crowd; Board will evaluate next steps

The classic between Vasco and Flamengo will not be at São Januário . In an official statement, this Thursday (3), the Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums (BEPE) refused the request of Cruz-Maltino for the game to be at the stadium. The entity, after all, alleges "security risks on the perimeter and inside the sports square" .
The decision was made based on the unit's strategic analyses that point to security risks.
"The SEPM Press Office informs that the command of the Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums (BEPE) opposed the request of the Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama for the next classic between Vasco and Flamengo, scheduled for April 19, to be held at the São Januário Stadium. The decision was made based on the unit's strategic analyses that point to security risks on the perimeter and inside the sports arena in games of this nature" , says the statement.
Now, Vasco needs to decide where to host the classic match on April 19th. The CBF regulations prohibit the match from being transferred to another state, since the request for this must be made at least 20 days in advance. In addition, Nilton Santos will host a musical event on the same day and will not be able to host the match. A likely location would be Raulino de Oliveira, in Volta Redonda .
LAST MEETING BETWEEN THE TEAMS AT CRUZMALTINO STADIUM
It is worth remembering that the last match between the teams at São Januário, in 2017, ended in chaos. Flamengo won the match 1-0, and Vasco fans threw bombs and objects at the red-and-black players, who were unable to access the tunnel. There was also an attempt to invade the field and a confrontation with the Military Police.
Since then, the only derby at the stadium took place in 2020 without the presence of fans. The Cruzmaltino adopted the same stance in the Campeonato Carioca, when it took the first game of the semifinal to Engenhão, which Mais Querido won 1-0.
Even with absences, the red-black coach takes to the field the same base that faced Internacional at Maracanã, for the Brasileirão
