Cicinho sobre o Flamengo no programa Jogo Aberto
O ex-lateral Cicinho fez um alerta ao Flamengo antes do confronto decisivo contra o Racing, pela semifinal da Copa Libertadore nesta quarta-feira, 22 de outubro, no Maracanã. Durante o programa “Jogo Aberto”, da Band, o ex-jogador afirmou que o desempenho do time carioca na atual edição do torneio preocupa.
Para o ex-lateral, a forma como o Flamengo sofreu na fase de grupos foi fora do normal. Segundo Cicinho, o elenco é forte demais para ter enfrentado tanta dificuldade.
“O Flamengo tem que ter tirado lições. A dificuldade que o time encontrou nessa Libertadores, com o elenco que tem, não é normal. Era para ter passado em primeiro lugar com tranquilidade. Não havia necessidade de sofrer tanto”, afirmou.
Críticas ao desempenho fora de casa
Cicinho também destacou a diferença de rendimento entre os jogos no Maracanã e as partidas fora do Rio. O comentarista afirmou que o Flamengo precisa aprender a administrar resultados longe de casa e se manter equilibrado quando é pressionado.
“O Flamengo tem tido dificuldade para administrar resultados. Em casa, faz grandes jogos. Mas fora de casa, o time cai muito. Se o primeiro jogo fosse lá e o segundo aqui, eu diria que estaria classificado. Agora, jogando o segundo fora, tenho minhas dúvidas”, analisou.
O ex-jogador reforçou que o clube tem potencial para vencer o Racing, mas precisa lidar melhor com situações adversas. Segundo ele, a equipe demonstra fragilidade quando sofre pressão, especialmente em estádios hostis.
Desempenho do Flamengo na Libertadores
O Flamengo chega às quartas após uma campanha irregular. O time teve uma fase de grupos marcada por oscilações e classificações apertadas. Mesmo assim, conseguiu eliminar o Internacional nas oitavas e o Estudiantes nas quartas, garantindo a vaga nas semifinais com muito drama.
Contra os argentinos, a classificação veio nos pênaltis, com o goleiro Rossi como herói. O arqueiro defendeu duas cobranças e garantiu a passagem para a próxima fase. Apesar da emoção, o desempenho deixou dúvidas sobre a consistência do time de Filipe Luís fora de casa.
Cicinho ressaltou que o Flamengo precisa mostrar mais controle emocional e coletividade. Para ele, o talento individual não basta em mata-matas equilibrados. “O elenco é muito bom, mas o time precisa jogar como grupo. Libertadores se vence com força coletiva, não com nomes”, comentou.
Expectativa para o confronto com o Racing
O duelo desta quarta-feira é considerado um dos mais importantes da temporada rubro-negra. O Maracanã deve receber um grande público, e a torcida espera uma vitória que dê tranquilidade para o jogo de volta, marcado para o estádio El Cilindro, em Avellaneda.
Arrascaeta e Pedro são as principais esperanças ofensivas da equipe. Ambos vivem excelente fase e foram decisivos na vitória sobre o Palmeiras no fim de semana. O meia e o atacante marcaram os gols que mantiveram o Flamengo na briga pelo título do Brasileirão.
Em contrapartida, o técnico Filipe Luís ainda tem dúvidas no setor defensivo. O zagueiro Léo Ortiz, que sofreu uma lesão na perna direita, tenta se recuperar a tempo e pode ser incluído na lista de relacionados. Já Cebolinha está fora da partida, ainda em tratamento no departamento médico.

Liverpool end losing run with dominant victory in Frankfurt
Liverpool ended a run of four straight defeats in all competitions with a dominant 5-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.The big news ahead of kick-off was Arne Slot dropping talisman Mo Salah to the bench for a second straight European game and it looked like a decision that could backfire as former Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen (26) finished a fine Eintracht move to give the hosts the lead. If Liverpool's defending left a lot to be desired for Kristensen's goal, Eintracht matched them. The hosts were caught up the pitch and Andy Robertson's pass released Hugo Ekitike (35) in on goal, with the striker keeping his composure to score against his former side.It was the start of blistering period for Liverpool as they added two more goals to make it three in nine minutes before the break.The […]
UNLV’s rent-a-coach system may be the way smaller schools keep up in new era of college sports
LAS VEGAS — From behind Dan Mullen’s desk in the sparkling Fertitta Football Complex, floor-to-ceiling windows reveal the skyline of a city where they’re used to short stays.It just so happens that we are here, racing through a conversation about Mullen’s old job, his current one and what his future might hold, the day after Florida fired Billy Napier.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementYes, we are mostly talking about UNLV, the program Mullen has led to a 6-1 record after he spent the last three years as a television analyst.But the broader climate of college football, and the fact that Mullen’s former employer just got rid of the coach that replaced him, were unavoidable topics on this particular day.

What to make of Tony Vitello’s surprising move from the Tennessee Volunteers to the San Francisco Giants
In a groundbreaking move, Tony Vitello, the head baseball coach at the University of Tennessee, has accepted an offer to be the next manager of the San Francisco Giants, according to Jeff Passan and Pete Thamel of ESPN. Reports of mutual interest between Vitello, 47, and Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey broke last week, unleashing something of a mini-saga in Knoxville as Vitello deliberated on his next step.Volunteers fans hung a banner during a recent fall practice that read “PLEASE STAY TONY.” University of Tennessee diehards appeared to create fake San Francisco Giants fan accounts intent on raising faux concerns about the hire in a last-ditch attempt to keep Vitello in town. But in the end, Vitello, who led the Vols to the first national championship in program history in 2024, apparently couldn’t pass up a shot at […]
