Rubro-Negro will face Bangu, this Thursday (15), at Arena Batistão in the eighth round of Carioca. Viña will not make her debut yet
Flamengo returns to the field to face Bangu this Thursday (15th) in the eighth round of the Carioca. Unlike usual, Alvirrubro will not send its match to Moça Bonita. The West Zone club has handed over control to Aracaju, in Sergipe, and the duel will be played at the Arena Batistão.
Rubro-Negro will thus have his fifth commitment for the State away from Rio de Janeiro at the start of the season. Previously Tite’s men had clashed in two other locations in the Northeast. In this case, to João Pessoa, in Paraíba, and to Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte, when he faced Nova Iguaçu and Sampaio Côrrea respectively. Furthermore, there were also duels in the northern region of the country. In his first match with Carioca, against Audax, he faced them in Manaus, and Portuguesa, in Belém.
Specifically in the case of the Arena Batistão, in Sergipe, Flamengo has a very favorable record for the stadium. In 18 matches so far there have been 13 wins, two draws and two defeats. One of the negative results occurred during Rubro-Negro’s last visit to the stage, which can accommodate 15 thousand fans.
In 2016, Rubro-Negro went to Aracaju to face Confiança in the first leg of the first phase of the Copa do Brasil. However, they lost 1-0 with a numerical advantage for 82 minutes, after their opponent was sent off. At that time, the coach of the Rio team was Muricy Ramalho, currently director of Sao Paulo. As well as famous players such as Paolo Guerreiro, Emerson Sheik, Marcelo Cirinho and Juan. The result forced the return match and the Gávea team managed to overturn the adverse scenario by winning 3-0 at the Maracanã.
Viña will not make his debut for Flamengo yet
Flamengo will not yet be able to facilitate the long-awaited debut of left-back Matias Viña. This is because the Uruguayan was released to travel to Italy and witness the birth of his daughter Faustina. In other words, Ayrton Lucas, scorer of one of the goals in the team’s latest triumph, against Volta Redonda, should remain in the starting lineup.
The Uruguayan will return to Brazil next Friday (16th), and will begin preparing for the duel with Boavista the following day. Vinã had already been indicated for Rubro-Negro’s latest commitment. However, the technical committee preferred to remove him from the list as a precaution and avoid a possible sanction. After all, it was a late match in the third round of Carioca, a period in which the athlete was not yet registered as a footballer for the club.
The Gávea club has reached an agreement with Roma to sign the player after long negotiations. For the purchase, the parties agreed on a value of eight million euros (at the time approximately R$ 42.8 million). In addition to a bonus of one million euros in the event of a title: 50% if you win the Libertadores and 50% in Série A.
