The game between Flamengo and Fluminense, valid for the Brazilian Championship, not only provided moments of tension on the field, but also raised questions about the player De La Cruz's ability to adapt to the Rio red-and-black environment. While fans eagerly awaited the athlete's performance in his new team, the scene of a direct confrontation with an opponent fueled speculation about his integration into the team and his assimilation of Flamengo's characteristic style of play.
Since his arrival to the club, De La Cruz has been the target of expectations and scrutiny from fans and the sports media. His signing was seen as a bold bet by the board of Flamengo, who saw in the Uruguayan player a potential reinforcement for the squad, capable of adding technical quality and international experience to the team. However, the transition to a new environment and a new country is not always easy, especially when it comes to the demanding Brazilian football scene.
The episode involving De La Cruz and the Fluminense player during the match raised concerns about his ability to adapt to the competitive climate of Brazilian football. While some interpreted the player's attitude as a sign of determination and competitiveness, others raised questions about his temperance and ability to deal with conflict situations on the field. Given this, debates arose about the need for De La Cruz to reconcile his intensity and desire to win with respect for the rules of the game and sporting ethics.
In addition to issues related to sporting performance, De La Cruz's adaptation to the red-and-black climate also involves cultural and social aspects. As a foreign player, he faces additional challenges as he integrates into a new team and a new community. In this sense, the support of the coaching staff and teammates has been fundamental in facilitating his transition and ensuring his well-being in the club environment.

This Monday (16), Flamengo officially informed Luiz Araújo's injury, which occurred in the classic against Vasco last Sunday (15). The striker was injured and, after examinations, the club's medical department confirmed the severity of the injury. With this, the player is out of the important clash against Peñarol in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
Mengão returns to the field this Thursday (19), at 7pm, at Maracanã, to face Peñarol in the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The Brazilian team is looking for a good result at home to take advantage in the second leg, which will be played at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, on September 26th.
For the match against Peñarol, the coach will count on the return of De la Cruz, recovered from injury, and the return of Ayrton Lucas to the left side. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata will be Luiz Araújo's replacement in the attack, seeking to strengthen the red and black offensive.
Mais Querido's probable lineup for the decisive clash should include: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, De La Cruz and Gerson; Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique and Gonzalo Plata. The team is going through adjustments, but the intention is to guarantee a positive result at home to reach the return game in Uruguay more calmly.
Despite the fans' expectations, the recent history between Flamengo and Peñarol does not favor Rubro-Negro. The teams have already faced each other six times, with four victories for the Uruguayans, one draw and only one victory for Mengão. The last meeting was in the 2019 Libertadores group stage, when Flamengo lost 1-0 at Maracanã and drew goalless in Montevideo.
