É delicado o momento do Flamengo na temporada — especialmente na Libertadores. O rubro-negro viu as oscilações sob o comando de Filipe Luís encontrarem seu ponto mais turbulento ontem, com o empate por 1 a 1 diante do Central Córdoba — gols de Arrascaeta e Verón. O resultado na Argentina não representa a eliminação na fase de grupos, mas liga um alerta bem mais sonoro. A equipe está a três pontos de distância dos dois times na zona de classificação a duas rodadas do fim, e deu mais uma apresentação desanimadora.
- O jogo: Flamengo sai na frente, mas sofre empate contra Central Córdoba e se complica na Libertadores
- ‘Nos colocamos nessa situação’: Filipe Luís admite preocupação com Flamengo na Libertadores
O confronto em Santiago del Estero foi mais desafiador do que o imaginado no início da fase de grupos, pelo ímpeto que o time argentino passou a ter na competição após a vitória por 2 a 1 no Maracanã. A principal missão do Flamengo era reparar os danos daquela surpresa, mas o empate saiu como bom negócio para o Córdoba.
O rubro-negro chegou a cinco pontos no Grupo C, enquanto a LDU e os argentinos têm oito. Restam jogos em casa contra os equatorianos, na próxima quinta-feira, e o lanterna e já eliminado Táchira, dia 28, mas a expectativa diminui à medida que o bom futebol da equipe de Filipe Luís passa a virar lampejos.
Ontem, o Flamengo assustou pela enorme quantidade de erros de passe e, muitas vezes, de concentração. Apesar de entrar em campo com o que tinha de melhor e o bom início, com o gol de Arrascaeta e um domínio de 20 minutos, o receio de arriscar tomou conta e a falta de ajustes do treinador deu margem para muitos outros erros.
— A verdade é que é muito pouco para a qualidade dos jogadores e do time que temos. Precisamos sair com mais pontos. Sabíamos que seria um jogo difícil, mas perdemos muitos pontos. A verdade é que não fizemos uma boa partida hoje (ontem) — admitiu Arrascaeta.
O jogo de velocidade praticamente não existiu, pela ausência de pontas agudos e o futebol tímido de Wesley e Ayrton Lucas nas laterais. A solução foi explorar o meio e foi assim que o Flamengo teve sucesso, quando o meia uruguaio recebeu passe curto de Bruno Henrique e abriu o placar de canhota. Mais duas chances surgiram e a produção parou.
Inseguro com o resultado, o Flamengo deixou o Córdoba crescer e ameaçar. Rossi teve de defender à queima-roupa chute de Galván.
Com a chegada do segundo tempo, Filipe Luís apenas tirou Pedro e colocou um desconexo Juninho. O rubro-negro recuou e chamou o adversário. O empate era questão de tempo e a entrada de Verón no time argentino teve efeito imediato. Com três minutos, o atacante cabeceou no meio da defesa após receber cruzamento de Angulo.
O gol levou a mudanças pouco efetivas de Filipe Luís, que apenas trocou jogadores de posição e não ousou diante de um adversário que se segurou no resultado. Individual e coletivamente abaixo, o time precisará, em casa, fazer tudo que não fez até agora, para não amargar uma queda precoce.

Donovan Mitchell won’t let Cavs go quietly after ‘one of the best seasons of my life’
<!--> Donovan Mitchell didn't expect to be this happy.When the Utah Jazz decided to trade him in the summer of 2022, he had hoped he'd land in his hometown of New York. So, when he was sent to Cleveland, he had no idea he'd feel the way he does now. "It's been one of the best seasons of my life," Mitchell told FOX Sports in an exclusive interview. "I'm glad I'm here. Obviously, it's no secret: Did I want to go home? I mean, yeah, sure. But coming here, seeing the group we had, understanding what we could continue to build, it wasn't long before I was like, man, this is special."Mitchell, who was named an All-Star for the sixth straight season in February, helped the Cavaliers stun the NBA by opening their season with a 15-0 record and finishing as the […]

Shohei Ohtani’s agent says superstar ‘wouldn’t do anything different’ with $700 million contract
Shohei Ohtani's reign as the athlete with the richest contract in professional sports lasted only one year. After signing a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers in December 2023, Juan Soto and the New York Mets agreed to a 15-year, $765 million package approximately 365 days later.Coming off the first season of 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in Major League Baseball history, Ohtani being paid less than anyone seems baffling. He still has yet to pitch for the Dodgers, coming off 2023 elbow surgery. Yet Ohtani's agent, Nez Balelo, told reporters on Thursday that he and his superstar client "wouldn’t do anything different."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe disparity between the contracts is even more stark when scrutinizing the details of the respective packages. None of Soto's money will be deferred, meaning he'll yield the full $765 million value. By […]
