Successful dribbles: 33. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Flamengo say no — this time
The offer from Castellón for Erick Pulgar was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Guillermo Varela hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Flamengo can pretend not to have heard.

Eyes on Luiz Araújo again
The phone has started ringing about Luiz Araújo again, and this time the name on the line is Castellón. Flamengo are listening politely and promising nothing.

Cruzeiro made Flamengo work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
