Com melhor ataque e defesa do Brasileirão, Flamengo iguala marca de quase 20 anos nos pontos corridos

Article arrow_drop_down

Enquanto o setor ofensivo segue sendo assunto no Flamengo, seja pelas qualidades e problemas apresentados em campo ou pela polêmica envolvendo Pedro fora dele, o clube dá sequência a um desempenho defensivo que também ajuda a justificar a atual liderança do Brasileirão. Melhor ataque e melhor defesa da competição, o rubro-negro tem os mesmos 27 pontos do Cruzeiro, mas leva a melhor no saldo de gols (22 contra 12), mesmo com um jogo a menos (12 contra 13). É esse domínio nos dois lados do campo que a equipe tenta manter em visita ao Santos, às 20h de hoje, na Vila Belmiro.

O rubro-negro deste ano é o primeiro time na era dos pontos corridos — iniciada em 2003 — a ter mais de 25 gols feitos (26) e menos de cinco sofridos (4) nas 12 primeiras partidas, conforme levantamento feito pelo GLOBO. O desempenho da equipe de Filipe Luís na retaguarda iguala o do São Paulo de 2007, o único time a também ter sofrido apenas quatro gols neste mesmo recorte.

São nove jogos no Brasileirão sem que Rossi tenha sido vazado, incluindo as últimas cinco rodadas, contra Bahia, Botafogo, Palmeiras, Fortaleza e São Paulo. Na vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o tricolor paulista, no sábado passado, o Flamengo voltou da Copa do Mundo de Clubes com uma atuação de muita imposição na frente, também responsável por fazer a defesa passar intacta.

Por sinal, esta é a primeira vez na história que o Flamengo tem a melhor defesa do Brasileirão neste estágio. Como sempre é cobrado por ser um clube de DNA ofensivo, teve o melhor ataque da competição após 12 partidas em seis campeonatos, incluindo os últimos três (2008, 2011, 2019, 2023, 2024 e 2025). A boa notícia é que os 26 gols marcados são uma marca recorde.

Por fim, apenas duas equipes na história dos pontos corridos terminaram as 12 primeiras partidas como o melhor ataque e defesa da competição. Primeiro, o Atlético-MG, vice-campeão em 2012. Depois, o Palmeiras, campeão em 2023.

Contudo, Filipe Luís se vê agora diante de alguns desafios para além da saída de Gerson, que era um importante elemento no equilíbrio entre ataque e defesa. Outro problema é a ausência de Pulgar, líder na hora de patrulhar a frente da área, agora desfalque por cerca de três meses em razão de uma fratura no pé direito.

Por sorte, Jorginho chegou para reforçar o setor, mas a maratona de jogos não permitirá que ele esteja sempre em campo, ainda mais em um momento de adaptação ao futebol brasileiro. Allan, que vem de desempenho positivo, ganhará ainda mais importância.

Também há baixas na lateral esquerda. Diante do São Paulo, Alex Sandro lesionou o músculo posterior da coxa esquerda, enquanto Ayrton Lucas sofreu grave corte na perna esquerda. Com jogos encavalados a cada três ou quatro dias, o técnico terá de utilizar Viña, ainda em busca da forma física ideal, ou seguir improvisando Varela. Porém, está diante de uma situação de potencial “cobertor curto”.

Zaga forte

Como nem tudo é problema no setor, há muitos jogadores fazendo temporadas de destaque, principalmente na linha de zaga. A começar por Léo Ortiz, jogador de defesa com mais jogos (30) e minutos disputados (2.545) no elenco na temporada. Com ele em campo, o time sofreu 15 gols — um a cada 196 minutos — e passou 20 partidas sem ser vazado. Já nas 11 partidas em que não atuou, foram oito gols sofridos — um a cada 88 minutos, mais que o dobro da frequência.

Sua dupla mais comum é Léo Pereira, mas Danilo também vem sendo muito importante como reserva. O principal indicador é que o ex-Juventus ainda não perdeu nos 15 jogos em que atuou: são 11 vitórias e quatro empates. Foram 12 gols sofridos sem a presença do zagueiro, o que dá uma média de um a cada 142 minutos, número que sobe para 224 quando ele está em campo. Inclusive, um dia após completar 34 anos, terá a oportunidade de reencontrar o Santos, o time que o projetou para o futebol.

Fora de novo

Pela segunda partida consecutiva, Pedro ficou de fora da lista de relacionados. No fim de semana, Filipe Luís expôs publicamente sua insatisfação com a atitude do centroavante nos treinamentos. Na última segunda-feira, o camisa 9 reconheceu o desempenho ruim em comunicado, e fez uma reunião para esclarecer a situação aos companheiros, mas isso não foi suficiente para ele viajar para Santos.

Por outro lado, a lista conta com a presença de Matheus Gonçalves, que vinha atuando pelo sub-20 no Brasileiro da categoria. A joia das categorias de base quase foi negociada com o Cruzeiro, o que só não ocorreu devido a um recuo do rubro-negro.

‘It definitely ignites us’: Alabama LB responds to Thomas Castellanos’ jab ahead of showdown vs. Florida State

Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos' jab at Alabama in June isn't being shrugged off in Tuscaloosa. His pointed remarks last month in an interview with On3 stirred plenty of reaction, and now, Crimson Tide linebacker Deontae Lawson has weighed in at SEC Media Days in Atlanta. Lawson made it clear the team hasn't forgotten the slight, hinting that Castellanos' words have only added fuel to the fire ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Seminoles in Tallahassee."It definitely ignites us a little bit," Lawson said on SEC Network. "We can't really think too much on that. It's gonna come down to what we do and how we prepare that week. I think all disrespect will be addressed accordingly."Castellanos, who transferred to Florida State from Boston College in December, boldly declared, "They don't have Nick Saban to save them.

Kyle Schwarber, fresh off an All-Star Game swing-off win, wants to be more than just a slugger

ATLANTA -- It's been quite the journey in Kyle Schwarber's career. He was drafted fourth overall, as a catcher, when most mock drafts had him going around 20th. In some circles, the Cubs were said to have reached for him. He debuted just a year later and joined a playoff team in 2015 as a big-time power guy. He hit moonshot homers in the playoffs and become a cult hero in Wrigleyville. He tore his ACL in the first week of the 2016 season, but returned to DH in the World Series and etched his name forever in Fall Classic lore. He was a champion. Then a leadoff hitter. Then a minor-leaguer. Then a power stud again. The Cubs non-tendered him. The Nationals traded him at midseason for a minor-league pitcher who last appeared in the Mexican Pacific Winter League.Today, Schwarber […]
