Brazilian Championship: Santos defines location for match against Flamengo
There was a possibility that the duel would be transferred to Mané Garrincha; The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the red-black public

Santos has decided to host the match against Flamengo on July 16, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro. The São Paulo club even negotiated the sale of the home stadium to Brasília in order to raise funds, but the proposal was rejected.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN BRASILIA
There was a possibility that the match would be moved to Mané Garrincha. The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the predominantly red-and-black crowd in Brasília to raise a large amount of money. The amounts offered to Santos were not revealed. The likely "reversal" of home advantage, however, was one of the reasons for the São Paulo team's refusal.
It is worth remembering that this same company has a debt of R$587,354.00 with Flamengo for not passing on the entire amount agreed upon for the Botafogo-PB x Flamengo match, for the Copa do Brasil, which was transferred to Maranhão. The club decided to take the company to court.
Santos wanted to play the match against Flamengo at Morumbis, São Paulo's stadium. However, they were unable to obtain permission from the police , as Palmeiras is playing at Allianz Parque on the same date and the security forces prohibit games of big teams in the city on the same day. Without Morumbis, Brasília became plan B, but it was discarded by the board, which decided to keep the home stadium at Vila Belmiro.
MENGÃO PREPARES FOR WHAT COMES AHEAD
The red-black squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning and will have four days off . The return is scheduled for Saturday (5), when Filipe Luís will lead the first activity focused on the return of the national calendar after the Club World Cup.
The first match will be against São Paulo, on July 12th, at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Santos x Flamengo will be Mengão's second game after returning from the USA . For the black and white team from the coast, however, it will be the first match after the break. This is because the game against Palmeiras, scheduled for the 12th, has been postponed due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup.

Flamengo will face São Paulo on the 12th, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the São Paulo team will be one player short. This is because midfielder Matheus Alves is close to being sold to CSKA, and will travel to Russia in the early hours of Friday. The sale will only be announced by Tricolor after medical exams and the signing of a contract.
ALL VERY WELL
The final details of the transfer were resolved in the last few days, and CSKA then issued tickets for Matheus Alves to travel to Russia. São Paulo already did not have the midfielder, who has not even trained at CT da Barra Funda.
Matheus Alves, 20, has become a target for CSKA in recent months. The Russians even had a video call with the midfielder before formalizing the offer to São Paulo. Since last month, however, Tricolor has been discussing the sale with the European club.
VALUES
The amount will be close to 6 million euros (R$37.9 million) for 100% of the player's economic rights, 90% of which are tied to São Paulo. In recent months, Tricolor had warned the player's agents that it expected a minimum offer of 10 million euros (around R$63.2 million), but the Russian club presented an offer with a lower value.
Due to its financial and cash flow problems, São Paulo decided to proceed with the transfer even though it was below what was expected. Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his sale at home, with his family.
