The rival team will not be able to have its main defender for the match
|
0Flamengo only plays again on Sunday (15), in a classic against Vasco at Maracanã. Therefore, the Cruzmaltina team has a confirmed absence for the match. This is because defender João Victor received his third yellow card and will be suspended for the duel. The player is a starter and is also considered a key player in the team led by Rafael Paiva.
Just like Vasco, Flamengo will have absences. Ayrton Lucas and Carlos Alcaraz will serve automatic suspension after the full-back received a third yellow card and the midfielder was directly sent off in Rubro-Negro's defeat to Corinthians this past Sunday (1).
Before thinking about Vasco, Flamengo focuses attention to Bahia. This is because, after the break period of the FIFA Date, Rubro-Negro will face the Bahian team, in a return match from the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, at Maracanã, on September 12th.
However, before thinking about the two decisive matches, the red and black squad receives a few days of rest. This is because the Brazilian calendar will have a break for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
Flamengo's historic idol revealed surprise to Tite indicating that Carlinhos is ahead of Gabigol in the hierarchy of the red and black squad
|
0Pedro's injury seems to reveal the real extent of the loss of space in Flamengo's team under coach Tite. Bruno Henrique has been chosen so far for the role of center forward and, against Vasco, this Sunday (15), the coach opted for Carlinhos as a substitute. A situation that idol Maestro Júnior sees as an attempt to send a message to Gabriel, who entered the classic with five minutes to go.
“It was strange, really. Even because of his CV and everything he has done, independent of Carlinhos. But I think he would automatically be the man to step into that role. Whether it was more fixed or like he has done, leaving the area more. Some message was given, but Tite didn't comment at all...", Júnior said on the program 'Seleção SporTV'.
Tite was asked about the decision at the press conference and, just as Júnior said, he didn't comment much about it. the case. The stance that the coach adopts in some questions during the press conferences, and the Gabigol topic is probably the main one. He limited himself to saying that the option was based on “training and games”, in addition to highlighting Carlinhos’ decisive moments this season. Indicating that Camisa 22 is ahead.
The red-black coach's assistant and son, Matheus Bachi, assured that it was a tactical decision. This is because they assessed that the team needed a player who could take advantage of the crosses that were being created.
But the justifications were not enough to convince André Rizek. Continuing the debate with Maestro Júnior, the journalist stated that he doesn't see how Gabigol can be useful in Tite's Flamengo if he is behind Carlinhos in the hierarchy.
“He loses Pedro and opts for Bruno Henrique. But then Bruno leaves the game and the person who enters is not Gabigol, but Carlinhos. And so, if Gabigol doesn't beat Carlinhos at this moment, I can't see him being useful. A melancholic end for one of the greatest players in Flamengo's history.”
Bruno Henrique as center forward exposes Gabigol at the end of the lineThere was a current that stated that Tite could opt for Carlinhos instead of Gabigol to maintain as much as possible the characteristics that the team had with Pedro. This is because, despite technical differences, both are taller center forwards, who compete for the aerial ball and can pivot at the edge of the area. However, the choice of Bruno Henrique has already forced a change of system.
The red-black team no longer has a regular center forward. This is because, although good at playing from the top, Bruno does not usually act as a reference to hold the ball in attack. Which forces Flamengo to play with a more mobile attack, with position changes with Luiz Araújo, Gerson and now Gonzalo Plata. In addition to having reduced shots and touched the ball more in the last two games.
Tite, therefore, is already willing to change the way he plays and adapt to the team without Pedro in charge of the attack. But he has not yet shown that he is considering the possibility of testing the team with Gabigol in the starting 11.

Even though he has time to recover, as Brazilian football only returns on the 12th of September, the Bahian team is concerned about the striker's situation, which is complicated.
In addition, Bahia also has another absence for the match against Mais Querido. This is because Biel, number 11 and the team's assists leader this season, suffered a ligament injury to his ankle in August.
Just like Bahia, Flamengo will also be absent for the game at Maracanã. Rubro-Negro will be without Michael, Everton Cebolinha, Matías Viña and possibly Nico De La Cruz, who was injured in the first game in Salvador.
Now, the Brazilian calendar will have a 10-day break for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. This way, Rubro-Negro will have time to try to recover at least two athletes to the sequence of games for the month of September. Furthermore, Tite will be able to train the team and resolve the problems that arose during the last matches.
