Botafogo beat Flamengo 4-1 on Sunday night (18). After the victory, coach Artur Jorge adopted a completely different tone from Tite when talking about the Brazilian football calendar. The coach treated the lack of space between games as a problem of the past and stated that it is part of the committee's job to prepare the athletes.
“It has worried me since April, when I arrived. If I'm not mistaken, I only made two games with a full week of work. This has been the sequence. That's no longer a topic for me. Would I like to have more time to work? Of course. Today we have everyone available, we have two more days to compete again in a highly demanding game. But that's not an excuse or an advantage, I've already had two, four days. I already lost, I already won. That's what we have, we have to prepare the players for that. It's part of our work”, said Artur Jorge.
Like Flamengo, Botafogo also played six matches in the last 20 days. The teams played two Copa do Brasil games, one round of the Libertadores and played three rounds of the Brasileirão between July 30th and August 18th.
FLAMENGO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO
Flamengo is in a difficult situation in the Brasileirão. This is because, in the last three games, Rubro-Negro won only one point, two defeats and one draw.
With the defeat to Botafogo, Flamengo fell to fourth place, with 41 points, falling behind Palmeiras, who have the same score, but the São Paulo team has an advantage due to the goal difference.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
In this way, seeking to rebuild the team, Tite begins preparing his players this Monday (19) for the clash against Bolívar. Mais Querido returns to the field on Thursday (22), at 9:30 pm, in La Paz, for the Libertadores.
Just 45 days after leaving Flamengo and arriving at Zenit, Gerson has attracted interest from Arab football, but the athlete's father and agent deny a direct offer.

Gerson's start at Zenit has been marked by difficulties. After leaving Flamengo shortly after the Club World Cup , the midfielder has yet to establish himself with the Russian team. He has been receiving few minutes on the pitch and recently missed the last game due to an injury.
This Sunday (31), information emerged that Al-Ittihad, from Saudi Arabia, opened talks to try to sign the athlete, just 45 days after his arrival in Russia . The news caught the attention of Flamengo fans, as the Joker left Brazil in one of the main transfers of the season.
Journalist Julio Miguel Neto reported that he spoke with Marcão, the player's father and representative. According to him, there has been no official contact so far from the athlete, who left Mais Querido to play for the Russian team.
" If anything came up, it was from club to club. I haven't been officially notified by anyone yet. I haven't offered him to any club ," the businessman declared.
Still, the possibility isn't ruled out, as it's common for Middle Eastern clubs to engage directly with teams before negotiating with players. It remains to be seen whether negotiations will progress in the coming days.
