In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo lost to Athletico-PR 3-0 this Wednesday (13), at the Kleber Andrade stadium, in Cariacica-ES. Now, Rubro-Negro focuses on the first game of the grand final of the Copa do Brasil against São Paulo, on Sunday (17) and tries to save the title for the rest of the season.
After the humiliating defeat, Gabigol held a press conference in which he expressed his support for coach Jorge Sampaoli and made an appeal to the fans with a view to the final against the São Paulo team. For number 10, the Argentine deserves more patience from the fans as it is still a new job.
- It's a new job. Sampaoli looks a lot like Flamengo, but it's a new job. We have fluctuated between good and bad matches, but that's how football is. There are teams that play poorly and win, there are teams that play well and lose. We played well against Botafogo, which is perhaps the only team that isn't wavering.
In Wednesday's defeat, the coach improvised defender David Luiz in midfield and Thiago Maia on the left flank . The team played poorly and was dominated for a large part of the game. In the second half, they still had one less, with the expulsion of Gabigol.
- We live in a moment where the press doesn't see the training and where a lot of things are created. There are enough lies for the fans. You think you know a lot, but you don't. David trained in the middle, I played more open. Did not work. In the game, there are many variations that sometimes go beyond our control. There is no lack of desire from the players, from Sampaoli, who has already made it clear that it is a dream to be at Flamengo, but it didn't turn out the way we wanted. We will have video and analysis to see what we can improve.

Flamengo released this Sunday morning (31) the list of players related to the duel against Grêmio , valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The main absence is midfielder Jorginho , who had been in doubt throughout the week after feeling muscle discomfort.
Despite participating in a separate training session on Saturday, the player felt pain again during Sunday morning's training session and was rested by the coaching staff. See the list of players involved in the Brazilian Championship match.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from an injury . At left back, Filipe Luís will have Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña, both available for the match. Juninho, however, remains out of the club's plans and was not included in the list. The board is working to determine new destinations for the players.
The undisputed leader of the competition, Rubro-Negro, has 46 points from 20 games. Cruzeiro is right behind with 44, but has already played two games. Thus, Palmeiras, with 42 points and a game in hand, emerges as the main contender in the battle for the top spot . Immediately after the match at Maracanã, the São Paulo team faces Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, in a classic that could shake up the top of the table.
Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. While Mais Querido fights to extend its lead at the top , the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in 14th place, seeks to move away from the relegation zone.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Rede Globo , on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.
In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.
With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.
