The U-20 world champion returns to the field this Saturday (30th)! For the fifth round of the Campeonato Carioca in the category, Flamengo faces Fluminense in the fifth round. The match kicks off at 10am (Brasília time) this Saturday (30th), at Estádio Marcelo Vieira, in Xerém. The Most Beloved has four absences compared to the team that beat Barcelona (ESP).
Two standouts from the team, Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, are in Europe, close to signing with new clubs. The first will play for Pisa, in Italy, in a deal worth around 500 thousand euros for a one-year loan (R$ 3.1 million). The second is heading to Al Ahli, in Saudi Arabia, for 8 million euros (R$ 50 million).
In addition, Flamengo lost goalkeeper Lucas Furtado, known as Lucão, who is going to Vitória de Guimarães, in Portugal, at no cost. However, the Rubro-Negro will retain 50% of the player's economic rights. Finally, Mengão sold the Nigerian Shola to Dynamo Kiev (RUS), for an undisclosed amount. In this deal, Fla will also retain 50%.
Although it is the fifth round of the Campeonato Carioca, Flamengo will only be playing its fourth game in the competition. After all, the match against Nova Iguaçu, which was supposed to take place last week, had to be postponed due to the Club World Cup.
Thus, Flamengo is in fourth place, undefeated, with two wins and one draw. The Garotos do Ninho beat Portuguesa and Maricá, as well as drawing with Bangu. Fluminense, even with four games played, is behind Mengão, with the same seven points, but at a disadvantage in goal difference.
The world champion's match against Fluminense will not be broadcast live, neither on television nor on YouTube. However, Coluna do Fla will bring the result of the match after the game, throughout this Saturday (30th). So, stay tuned to our website and Coluna's social media.
