This Saturday, Roma defeated Pisa 1-0 in a Serie A match. The standout performer was Argentine Matías Soulé, who scored the winning goal. The match also featured a strong red-and-black presence : Wesley was once again a starter for Roma, while Lorran, on loan from Flamengo , watched the match from the stands.


LORRAN CLOSELY FOLLOWS THE FUTURE TEAM


Recently loaned by Flamengo to Pisa, Lorran was present at the stadium to observe his future teammates . Before kickoff, the youngster participated in the warm-up on the sidelines, already wearing the colors of his new club, and even greeted Wesley, his former teammate at Ninho do Urubu.


HOW WAS PISA X ROME

The first half featured heavy marking, numerous fouls, and few clear-cut scoring chances. The teams went into halftime with the score tied , in a game more physical than technical. After the break, Roma showed more aggression.


In the 55th minute, Soulé received a good pass, beat the marker and finished with class to open the scoring: 1-0. Shortly after, in the 61st minute, the Argentine found the net again , but the move was reviewed by VAR and the second goal was disallowed.

WESLEY'S NUMBERS IN THE MATCH

A regular starter, Wesley was a standout at right-back, playing as a winger in Gian Piero Gasperini's system . He proved to be solid in defense and involved in attack, traits that caught the coach's attention while he was still at Flamengo .

  • Minutes: 90
  • Touches on the ball: 84
  • Successful passes: 52/56 (93%)
  • Successful passes in the final third: 14/16 (88%)
  • Correct crosses: 1/2 (50%)
  • Ground duels won: 4/7 (57%)

Atlético-MG has opened negotiations to bring back Jorge Sampaoli , formerly of Flamengo, as the team's head coach. The Argentine coach gained traction at the club after failing in negotiations with Martín Anselmi and is already considered the favorite to take over.


The first negotiations, which began on Monday night (01), are being conducted virtually. Sampaoli currently lives in Rio de Janeiro. The information was published by the newspaper O Tempo. On social media, part of the Galo fans are already mobilizing in support of the coach's return .


HOW IS SAMPAOLI?


Without a club since leaving Rennes in France, Sampaoli has had a low-key run in European football. In charge of the French team, he played 10 games, winning just 3 and losing 7 , in a period of about two months.

His first stint at Atlético-MG was between 2020 and 2021, with 45 matches, totaling 25 wins, 9 draws, and 10 losses . Despite finishing three points short of the Brazilian title, the Argentine is remembered as a key player in the formation of the squad that would win historic titles in 2021, as he indicated the signing of most of the players.


CUCA'S SUCCESSOR

Sampaoli arrives to replace Cuca, who was fired after the 2-0 loss to Cruzeiro in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals at Arena MRV. Pressure had already been mounting, and the setback against their biggest rival was a key factor in the coach's departure.

PASSAGE THROUGH FLAMENGO

In 2023, Sampaoli also managed Flamengo , accumulating 39 games, with 20 wins. Despite this, he left the club with criticism , after eliminations in the Libertadores, defeat in the Copa do Brasil final and performance below expectations in the Brasileirão.

Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) will face each other on September 18th and 25th in search of a spot in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores da América . Most experts consider Flamengo to be the favorite, but according to former defender Leandro Desábato, who won the competition in 2009 with the Argentine club, the first leg at the Maracanã will be decisive.


Debate about Flamengo vs Estudiantes, in the Libertadores: "If you get a good result in Brazil, you'll have a chance"


"Flamengo has a very good team. I thought Estudiantes would decide it away, but it will be at home. If they get a good result in Brazil, they'll have a chance. When you put pressure on the fans and make the opponent feel it, they don't like it . Estudiantes has good players who have dropped off in performance, but they remain important," said Desábato.


FANS CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR FLAMENGO

The former defender also highlighted the strength of the Argentine fans as a decisive factor: "Estudiantes is highly respected, a role model. Players who play there always say it's a different club, and that helps a lot. The fans transmit this energy, and in the Libertadores, it's even more felt . They make you believe you're going to win, even without having the best team," he added in an interview with Cielosports.


HOW ESTUDIANTES ARRIVES FOR THE CONFRONTATION

Estudiantes secured home advantage after finishing first in Group A , the same as Botafogo, with 12 points. Flamengo , in turn, advanced with 11 points in Group C. In the round of 16, the team from La Plata eliminated Cerro Porteño (PAR), winning 1-0 away and drawing 0-0 at home.

GAME DATES
  • First leg: Flamengo x Estudiantes – September 18, at 9:30 pm (Maracanã).
  • Return: Estudiantes x Flamengo – September 25, at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium.

The winner of the match will face the qualifier from Racing (ARG) vs Vélez Sarsfield (ARG) in the semi-finals .
