Adriano was given time off to sort his life. Adriano and his bride Joana Machado were having some problems. UOL had this to say www.uol.com.br O problema pessoal envolvendo o atacante Adriano (confusão num baile funk com a noiva Joana Machado) não foi levado para dentro de campo pelos jogadores do Flamengo. Sendo assim, a equipe rubro-negra, com facilidade, goleou o Resende por 4 a 0, na noite deste sábado, no Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, em Volta Redonda, pela terceira rodada da Taça Rio, segundo turno do Campeonato Estadual.
Did The Emperor’s absence hurt Flamengo? Many would say no way Jose but I beg to differ. Without Adriano in the line up Mengao had a hard time with second division side Resende before finally pulling away in the second half to win 4-0.
Yes, the torrid rain had something to do with the sloppy play but I think Mengao is resting on their laurels and not seriously getting ready to defend their title.
Globo Esporte http://globoesporte.globo.com/ wrote this-A chuva intermitente que castigou Volta Redonda durante todo o sábado prejudicou o estado do gramado, repleto de poças. O toque de bola era difícil, e pelo alto o Flamengo quase abriu o placar. Após escanteio cobrado por Vinícius Pacheco, aos dois minutos, Fernando cabeceou no canto direito e Cleber saltou para fazer excepcional defesa.
Mengao started really slow. Rubro-Negro had several early opportunities to score but Fernando just missed a close range header in the 2nd minute. Toro fired a wicked shot on goal but Resende keeper Cleber stopped em cold in the 24th minute.
Vagner Love wasted a golden opportunity in the 31st minute. Fabricio forced a ball into the goalmouth. It was pinball machine time. Love just missed putting away the loose ball. Resende keeper Cleber was able to punch the ball out of harms way.
Mengao finally got on the scoreboard in the 37th minute. Vagner love threaded the needle to mate Bruno Mezenga. Mezenga flew past Resende defender Rodrigo Costa. Bruno Mezenga stopped and popped a shot right into the top shelf left. Cleber never had a prayer to stop this sucker.
The second half was a different story. Mengao pressed the attack. Flamengo scored three-second half goals to salt this puppy away.
Leonardo Moura ripped the twines in the 62nd minute. His shot off a free kick from just outside the top box beat the keeper Cleber top shelf left.
Mengao scored again in the 72nd minute. Flamengo worked the ball down the pitch with some precision passing. Vinicius Pacheco was recipient of this great teamwork. He was one on one with the keeper. Pacheco hit a perfect shot just inside the far right post to make 3-0 Flamengo.
Vagner Love capped the scoring in the 82nd minute. Love had an easy walk goal to make 4-0 Mengao.
This goal was set up by a turnover in the Resende offensive end of the pitch.
Juan pulled the keeper and the defenders away from goalmouth.
Juan lay off a great pass to mate Love who was crashing the far right post.
All and in all it was a win but Mengao was very sloppy with the ball and this could back and hurt them big time.
Mas a chance inicial parecia chuva de verão. O Resende rondou a área adversária, insistindo no jogo aéreo para Tuta. Disperso, o time rubro-negro errou muitos passes no meio de campo, o que travou o andamento das jogadas.
Vagner Love is a big hit with Mengao. Love is the clubs top scorer with ten goals.Com mais um gol, Vagner Love chegou ao seu décimo na competição e se isolou ainda mais na artilharia do Campeonato Estadual. Dodô, do Vasco, com oito, vem logo atrás.
Love added that this victory was for Adriano.
“O Adriano faz falta ao time e oferecemos esta vitória para ele. Mas jogamos com personalidade e estamos com uma moral maior”, disse Vagner Love.

The EPL has two huge matches that will take place on Saturday.
They will go a long way in determining who will win the EPL.
We have a hot date at home with Burnley.
The Gunners will expect Arshavin, Denilson, and Abou Diaby to be ready to play for us in this all-important encounter at Emirates Stadium.
We need to kick butt and take names.
Three points are a must for Arsenal.
Chelsea will have a game in hand. This is due to the fact that the Blues have a quarterfinal FA Cup match with Stoke City.
Manchester United takes a little road trip to Molineux Stadium to take on Wolverhampton.
The Red Devils are struggling mightily on the road. Last road outing on February 20th the boys from Old Trafford had their butts handed to them by Everton 3-1.
Man U stinks on the road.
Man U will be without the services of Michael Owens and Wayne Rooney. Owens will be out for the season with a bad hamstring. Rooney will miss due to a bad wheel. His knee is in bad shape.
Wolves are currently in 17th place with 24 points. Wolverhampton is one-step away from getting the heave-hoe.
Hull City has 24 points too.
The only thing that is saving their sorry season is Wolverhampton has a better goal difference than Hull City.
Wolvers are a minus 24 while Hull City is a minus 29.

We got the result we needed. All we have to do is beat Stoke City at Britannia later today and we are in like Flynn.
Us Arsenal fans know we can always blow it but I sure hope not.
Three points will give the Gunners 58 points. We will be three points behind Chelsea.
Chelsea had their lunch handed to them by Man City 4-2.
Three players hit the daily double City’s Bellamy, Tevez, and Chelsea’s Lampard.
Chelsea started out strong.
The Blues took the early lead on a powerful strike by Frank Lampard in the 42nd minute.
The match changer happened right at the end of the first half.
A great block by City’s Wayne Bridge and whamo we are off to the races. Tevez breaks free and beats two Blues defenders.
The Carlos man hits a weak shot that rolls past the keepers Henrique Hilario’s outstretched paw. The ball does a slow roll into the back of net to level this sucker up at one all at break.
City was in charge after that.
Bellamy’s goal in the 51st minute made it 2-1.
Bellamy’s goal was the classic counter attack futebol. In a flash City was off to the races into the Blues end of the pitch.
This was Katie bar the door.
The Blues were hung out to dry when they pushed everyone into the offensive end of the pitch.
Tevez made it 3-1 after he nailed the PK in the 76th minute.
Bellamy hit for the daily double in the 87th minute.
Lampard added a cosmetic PK in the 90th minute.
You gotta love this.
Chelsea blows apart at home.
The race is on.
All we have to do is win baby.
This is not the start I was looking for. Arsenal gave up an easy goal off a great throw in by Stoke City’s Rory Delap in the 8th minute. Shawcross headed the ball to Danny Pugh. Pugh nailed the bounce close range header into the open net. Pugh was camped near the far left post.
We are down 1-0.
This stinks big time.
We need to regroup. We need to attack and score.
Finally, Arsenal gets the equalizer from Nicklas Bendtner in the 32nd minute off a great pass from mate Cesc Fabregas.
Bendtner showed some serious hops when out leaped a couple of Stoke City defenders to ram home the header.
So, whatever we do lets not have a repeat performance of what happened here at Britannia in the fourth round of the FA Cup. We tied it up and gave up three-second half goals.
We are at the break. Arsenal and Stoke City are knotted up at one all.
We need to come out in the second half and smoke em badly.
This is totally insane. Stoke City’s Shawcross made a stupid challenge on Arsenal forward Aaron Ramsey.
Ramsey is leveled. Shawcross is given the heave-hoe in the 66th minute.
Ramsey is carted off and sent to hospital. Ramsey’s leg is broke.
This is a killer.
The good news it is still one all.
We have the man advantage.
We finally got the break we needed. The guys applied a ton of pressure on Stoke City’s “D”. It paid off when Bendtner fired a shot into the box. Whamo, bamo, a handball by Pugh. A PK is given. Fabregas nailed the gimmie in the 90th minute to give us the 2-1 lead.
Seven minutes of added time are to be played.
We tickled the twines in the 94th minute to make 3-1.
Fabregas fired a great ball to Thomas Vermaelen. Vermaelen knocks home the walk in goal to salt this baby away.
Instead of going for the whole enchilada, Fabregas saw his mate was in a better position to score.
Yep, guys it’s in the books.
Three points for us.
This is a huge road win for the Gunners.
It is 3-1 for Arsenal.
Paybacks are a bitch aren’t they.
The race for the title is on baby.
It will be a full sprint to the finish between the Blues, Man U, and the Gunners.
Chelsea has 61 points. Man U has 60 and Arsenal has 58.

It is only two months into the 2010 futebol campaign for Sao Paulo. Tricolor has lots of problems and if they continue to play this way Sao Paulo will indeed have a very long year.
Rogerio Ceni recorded first blood for Sao Paulo. He nailed a screamer into the wall. Bing bam boom the shot comes flying off the wall into the back of the net. Once Caldas keeper Luis Martinez never had a chance to stop this sucker.
This made it 1-0 for Sao Paulo in the 33rd minute.
With this goal, Ceni becomes Sao Paulo’s all time leading scorer with eleven goals in the Copa Libertadores.
Then the wheels fell off the wagon for Sao Paulo.
Once Caldas ratcheted up the pressure.
Once Caldas tied this baby up in the 49th minute. Uribe flat out beat Tricolor defender Xandao. Wham bam boom, back of the net for Uribe and we are even at one all.
Once Caldas took the lead when Moreno ran rings around the Sao Paulo “D”. He ripped the twines in the 71st minute to give Once Caldas a 2-1 lead.
This was all she wrote.
Stick a fork in Sao Paulo for they are surely done.
Once Caldas has six points after two matches. Sao Paulo has three points.
For the past few weeks, Sao Paulo has been playing horrible futebol. Sure, Tricolor is in second placed in Group Two but Sao Paulo has dropped two straight matches.
Sao Paulo has lost to Portuguesa, Palmeiras, and Santos in the Campeonato Paulista.
Tricolor is currently in sixth place with 17 points. Tricolor trails Torneo Paulista leader Santos by eight points.
Lets shift gears for a moment. We have two huge matches on Saturday in the EPL.
The biggie is Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. City is coming off a hard loss to Stoke City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The Blues lost to Inter 2-1. This was a hard fought tangle between the Blues and Inter in the first stage of the Champions League knockout round.
Both goals given up by Chelsea were bitter pills to swallow for the Blues. Jose Mourinho Inter’s headman is the former Blues boss who took them to EPL glory.
Will this disappointment bite Chelsea in the butt?
We will find out.
The Blues are unbeaten at home and have only been scored on eight times by the opposition at Stamford Bridge.
Goals will hard to come by for City.
Manchester City will have Carlos Tevez. This should provide an offensive spark for City.
The Blues will be without Petr Cech, torn calf muscle, and Ashley Cole, broken ankle.
I can’t wait to see who dictates the match.
Will it be Tevez or Drogba?
You can sure bet there will be a ton of fireworks on the pitch with these two very intense players battling it out.
We have a huge match with Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners will have the services of Eduardo available however; we will be without Gallas, Diaby, and Arshavin. This could hurt us deeply if we are not careful.
Fabregas and the guys need to come through big time.
Road wins are a premium in the EPL.
We need to win this baby.
Three points are a must.
When the dust finally settles on Saturday we will have a clearer picture of how the race shaped up for the title run.
Man U has already won.
The pressure is squarely on Chelsea and Arsenal to keep up pace.
All we need is for Chelsea to have a brain fart and lose at home and we’re in like Flynn.

Manchester United had their entire season riding on the line in this match against West Ham at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
This was one of those matches if the Red Devils lost you can surely stick a fork in their season and their chances of a four peat.
Man U came away with a hard fought 3-0 win over West Ham.
Wayne Rooney hit for the daily double.
Both of Rooney’s goals were a thing of beauty. The Wayne man nailed a point blank header in the 38th minute. A great cross into the goal area by Antonio Valencia set up this goal.
The Rooney man and Valencia teamed up again in the 55th minute for a repeat performance. Valencia fired another perfect ball into the goalmouth. Rooney nailed the close range header.
Michael Owens goal in the 80th minute was the icing on the cake for Man U.
Paul Scholes set up Owen’s goal with a great through ball.
The only bad news is that Brasilian Anderson wrenched his knee. We don’t know the seriousness of the injury. After an MRI Man U will find out how bad it really is.
Man U is almost unbeatable at home yet when the Red Devils hit the road they can’t win to save their lives.
Man U jumped out to an early 1-0 against Everton. Then the unthinkable happened the Toffees put the screws to the Red Devils by scoring the next three goals to win 3-1.
This was the first time Man U lost a match after they scored first.
The Red Devils are 12-1-1 at home and 7-2-5 on the road.
Man U cut Chelsea’s lead to one point.
Chelsea has 61 points. The Red Devils have 60. My guys Arsenal have 55.
Both Chelsea and the Gunners have huge encounters coming up on Saturday and Sunday.
The Blues battle Man City at home in Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Arsenal takes an all important road trip to Britannia Stadium to take on Stoke City on Sunday.
We have to win this sucker.
Arsenal cannot afford a slip up.
Three points are a must.
The title is in sight for Arsenal.
Six points are not that big of a difference.
All we have to do hold serve at home and win sixty percent of our matches on the road.
With ten matches left after Sunday the Blues will surely lose at two maybe three, more matches.

Manchester City and Liverpool had the world to play for instead both sides played with a whimper.
The Reds and City managed a scoreless draw.
Way to go guys instead of going balls to the wall you clowns played it safe and wound kissing your sister.
Way to pepper the keepers guys. I mean it was amazing. A total of twelve shots by both sides. Seven by Liverpool and five by City with only a grand total of two on target shows me that you clowns were really pressing for the all-important “W”.
Here is a news flash Liverpool and City. Manchester United is wobbly. Three points would have gone a long way to cut the gap.
If City would have won you have been seven points out of third place and nine points out of second.
If the Reds would have won you would be only eight points out of third and ten points out of second.
City and the Reds really have shot themselves in the foot.
This is why you are having crappy seasons.
Tottenham finally decided to step up to the plate and get an all-important road win. Spurs shut out Wigan 3-0.
Roman Pavlyuchenko came off the bench to hit for the daily double. He struck for pay dirt in the 84th and 90th minute.
Superman Jermain Defoe nailed the winner in the 27th minute to give Spurs the early 1-0.
This win propels Tottenham to fourth place with 45 points.
Yes, City has 45 points as well but Spurs have a better goal difference. Spurs are a plus 22 while City is a plus 15.
Blackburn whitewashed Bolton 3-0.
Aston Villa killed Burnley 5-2.
Fulham doubled up Birmingham 2-1.
This loss knocked Blues out of the race for the final Champions League spot.
Chelsea remains top dog with 61 points. Man U is in second place with 57 points. Arsenal is third with 55. Tottenham is fourth 46. City is fifth with 46.
There are eleven matches left and this means anything can happen.
Thirty-three points are a ton of points to play for.
Lets see where the point’s fall where they may.

What did I tell ya. The EPL champ will have the best road record. Man U’s road woes continued at Elwood Park. Everton took it to the mighty Red Devils. The Toffees whopped em good. The final tally was 3-1 Everton.
This gives the mighty men of Old Trafford five road losses. Yes, count em five road losses.
This is huge for us Arsenal fans. This loss opens up the door for Arsenal. A win today against Sunderland and we will have cut the gap to two points behind Man U.
All we need is to have Chelsea to lose to Wolverhampton.
Go ahead and make my day.
My instincts tell me that with Rio and Nani out due to suspension will really hurt the Red Devils. Add on top of that Ryan Giggs gone because of a broken forearm you have a really depleted Red Devils side ripe for the taking.
This is exactly what the Toffees did.
Give Everton all the credit. The Toffees flat out took it Man U.
The Toffees have now beaten both Man U and Chelsea at home.
Home cooking goes a long way.
Rio Ferdinand’s absence really hurt the Man U “D”.
With Rio in the line up, I don’t think the Toffees would have scored.
Man U opened the scoring in the 16th minute. Berbatov one timed a great centering pass from mate Valencia for 1-0 Man U lead.
Then all hell broke loose. Everton kept applying the pressure.
The Toffees were like a pressure cooker. They kept the steam up and then the lid blew off this baby.
Everton’s Diniyar Bilyaletdinov nailed a perfect long-range ball in the 19th minute to even this sucker up at one all. Red Devil’s keeper Van der Sar never even flinched. He had his cement shoes on.
The Toffees scored the go ahead goal in the 76th minute. Dan Gosling back heeled a great cross from mate Steven Pienaar for a 2-1 Everton lead.
Everton put the final nail in the coffin in the 90th minute. Jack Rodwell wove his way through the entire Man U back line. He teed up a great shot that made went flying past the sprawled out keeper Edwin Van de Sar.
Final score was 3-1 Everton.
Well Chelsea is well on their way to giving Wolves a futebol lesson. Didier Drogba has hit for the daily double.
The Blues have it in cruise control.
Chelsea is well on its way to a huge road win.
The Blues have 2-0 lead with ten minutes left.
Arsenal on the other hand is in a dogfight with Sunderland. Nicklas Bendtner rammed home a point blank gimmie shot in the 27th minute to give us 1-0 lead.
Cesc Fabregas set this baby up with a great run into the box. He made a great pass right through the goal crease to left post.
This created the walk in goal for Bendtner.
This is way this baby stands with about thirteen minutes remaining.
If things remain the same, Chelsea will have 61 points. Man U remains at 57 points. Arsenal is still with in striking distance with 55 points.
It is all over but the shouting as Chelsea cruised to a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton.
This gives the Blues seven road wins on the season. Chelsea is 7-3-4 on the road. Man U drops to 7-2-5. Arsenal remains at 6-3-4.
Finally, we get another goal in the dying moments of the match against Sunderland. Cesc Fabregas nailed the PK kick to put this guy out of reach.
We can all breath a huge sigh of relief.
The Gunners are up 2-0 in the 90th minute.
Thank God for small favors.
It is all over. We pick up the all-important three points.
The top of the table looks like this after Saturdays encounters.
Chelsea is the top gun with 61 points. Man U is second with 57 and Arsenal is third with 55.
The race is on baby.
Man U is wobbly on the road. Chelsea has their troubles as well. It will come down to this. Beat the teams you should. Hold serve at home. Have more wins than losses or ties on the road.
Trust me on this.
Man U’s loss to Everton may have well cost them a shot at the four peat. Better yet this may have cost the Red Devils second place in the table as well.
