Flamengo and Corinthians are ready to have at it in the first round of the Copa Libertadores knockout stage on Wednesday night.
The two fading superstars will take center stage on Wednesday night at Maracanã.
UOL had these words of wisdom-Não foi uma terça-feira como outra qualquer na Gávea. As dezenas de jornalistas davam o clima decisivo pelo qual passa o Flamengo nesta véspera de duelo contra o Corinthians, no Maracanã, às 21h50, pela Libertadores. Além disso, no campo, o tradicional rachão disputado pelos jogadores começou mais tarde.Isso porque o novo treinador Rogério Lourenço realizou, mesmo que por apenas 15 minutos, um treino tático. Antes, por dez minutos, conversou com todo o elenco no centro do gramado. O rachão, tão esperado pelos jogadores, só ocorreu no fim, depois de muito treinamento de bola parada.
We need to win big time. The return leg will be set at Corinthians house.
Mengao is a team in transition. Andrade walked away or better yet, he was flat out fired.
New Flamengo Prez Patricia Amorim has made a fine mess of things since she took over about a year ago.
The entire Rubro-Negro organization is in a mess. This is not the way to enter the new season. Mengao has lost several top officials since the idiot Patricia Amorim started to assert her power.
Foray da salad de impress, um encorme número de conselheiros e beneméritos, todos engravatados, circulava livremente pelo departamento de futebol. Com a saída de Marcos Braz (vice de futebol) e Eduardo Manhães (diretor de futebol), a presidente Patrícia Amorim ainda não escolheu um nome para os cargos e existe muita especulação na Gávea, que, em meio à decisões, vive conturbado clima político.
We won the title last year and now this new season looks like it will be a long and hard one.
Adriano is too busy partying with his buds in the Favela. His girl friend is nuts. This has had a huge effect on the way the Emperor has prepared for the season.
Petkovic had a huge run in with management. It looks like this situation is behind him.
He got Andrade to quit or better yet fired.
If this season turns to crap because of stupid decisions made by management all us Flamenguistas will be royally pissed.
I know this Flamenguista will be.
I am not holding my breath.
We will find real quick if all these changes will work out.
Welcome to the nuthouse.
