Transfer targets

Flamengo baulk at the price for Luiz Henrique

Zenit wanted more than $36.0M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Flamengo make their move for Kaio Jorge

$24.2M on the table at Cruzeiro. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Facundo Colidio is a medical away from Flamengo

The deal with Vasco da Gama is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Market

Everton Cebolinha agrees terms with Mirassol

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Flamengo people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Flamengo turn down Cruzeiro for Pedro

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

A brace, and Pedro takes the afternoon — 9.28

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Pedro provided it, and the 9.28 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Transfer targets

Vasco da Gama tell Flamengo: Lucas Piton is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings

Alex Sandro, 35, rolls back the years — 8.16

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.16 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Pedro is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.50 with 15 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match

Flamengo do the business in Europe

2‑1. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Flamengo came through the finding-out well against Gimnasia y Esgrima.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Flamengo

1‑4 against Atlético Mineiro, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Player ratings

Samuel Lino was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

Vintage Jorginho — 7.90

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.90, and nobody on the pitch better.

The dugout

Camargo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Flamengo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Flamengo

Pedro and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

One of those days for Pedro

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.32, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Alex Sandro

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Giorgian De Arrascaeta

Marked 8.06 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for João Victor

25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Flamengo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A fracture rules Ayrton Lucas out for 43 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Flamengo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Whatever happens, Flamengo do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Samuel Lino

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Pedro in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Flamengo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The step up is real for Camargo

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Erick Pulgar

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Flamengo

Something was said to Saúl and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

When it matters, Giorgian De Arrascaeta plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Match

Flamengo take Gimnasia y Esgrima apart in Europe

6‑1. Nights like this are why clubs spend decades trying to qualify for this competition, and they arrive perhaps twice in that time. Everybody who was in the ground will describe it badly for years.

Squad

Ayrton Lucas breaks a bone — 78 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 78 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Pedro scores twice — 9.74

Two goals and a mark of 9.74 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

A brace, and Nicolás de la Cruz takes the afternoon — 8.43

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Nicolás de la Cruz provided it, and the 8.43 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Giorgian De Arrascaeta

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Jorginho yet — 8.09

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.09 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Pedro in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Flamengo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

7 goals as Flamengo and Gimnasia y Esgrima go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Flamengo and Gimnasia y Esgrima, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

The step up is real for Camargo

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.
