Joel visits Fla and finds his house in order \ Caio Júnior trains the team with Obina as the starter in place of Souza. Dininho could make his debut in defense. \ Photo caption: JOEL SANTANA talks to Leonardo Moura during his visit to Gávea yesterday: the South African national team coach praised his successor Caio Júnior \ Carlos Eduardo Mansur \ A little less than two months ago, Joel Santana said goodbye to Flamengo after one of the most traumatic defeats in Flamengo's history. An episode that, apparently, didn't shake his feelings toward the club, nor the way Gávea usually embraces him. Yesterday, his return was nothing more than a visit from the now-South African coach. But the reception Joel received and the way he felt at ease suggested he had never left. \ Staff and players embraced him. While giving interviews, Joel stopped constantly, his attention diverted by the field. He watched plays and tactical movements, as if to ensure the team he helped build remained on the right track. \ "The work is all right. Caio Júnior is competent and promising. Only Joel Santana left. Flamengo hasn't lost its way," he said, quickly making it clear, in one expression, how deeply he still feels connected to Gávea. "We couldn't win the Libertadores this year. We'll win next year. Every time there's a game, I'm there at two in the morning, cheering. You have to respect fate in football. We lost to América by accident. It happens every thousand years. If they play another ten times, anywhere, Flamengo will win." \ Joel's confidence in pointing to Flamengo as a candidate for the Brazilian title is not the same when answering whether he will watch the game against Náutico at Maracanã. \ "Maybe. But the team is winning. I don't know if I'll go there," he joked, as if afraid of being called a jinx. \ He still hesitates when asked if he is happy in Africa: \ "Yeah... I was alone there. It's so anxious to go back, sometimes. But then the professional side kicks in, the chance to go to a World Cup. And then I get here and all I hear about is the Isabella case, the boy killed in Ipanema, the mother throwing her out the window. The country isn't getting any better. \ English and "ball expressions" with the players \ In four games in Africa, Joel lost two and won one. During his first call-ups, assistant coach Jairo Leal and Carlos Alberto Parreira, his predecessor, helped him. Now, he'll have time to get to know the local game. \ "I arrived, and in four days, we faced Nigeria, who even face the Brazilian national team. We conceded goals due to inexperience. Parreira left a great job, but the change, the time until you're accepted, everything counts. Little by little, things move forward," said Joel, who, although he needs two wins to advance in the African Cup qualifiers, says he's not afraid of pressure. "I have a contract and the backing of a guy like Parreira. They studied my resume; they had ten other names. They didn't choose me by chance." \ In Johannesburg, Joel lives in an apartment with direct access to a shopping mall. When speaking to the players, he says he uses his English and "football expressions." When speaking to the press, he uses the former player's daughter, Tita, as a translator. \ "They didn't know me and only talked about my difficulties. But I was well received. They love Brazilian football. The people respect it, especially the black people. Football there is changing. After Parreira, there are more touches and dribbling." \ Yesterday, in the tactical training session he led at Gávea, coach Caio Júnior named Obina as the starter, replacing Souza, who is expected to be on the bench against Náutico on Saturday. Kleberson filled in for Ibson, who, without a contract, will not be able to play until negotiations with Porto regarding his stay are finalized. Defender Dininho is expected to make his Flamengo debut in place of the suspended Fábio Luciano. \

Even with his anxiety running high, Íbson has no choice: he'll have to wait a little longer to find out what his future holds. After meeting with Porto officials yesterday afternoon in Portugal, Flamengo's vice president of football, Kleber Leite, formalized a proposal to renew the player's loan for another year to the Portuguese officials, who, in turn, asked for a few days to respond. \ All because, as reported by JORNAL DOS SPORTS last month, Porto doesn't want to sell the player, only loan him out. According to Kleber Leite, the Portuguese club's priority is to find a club in Europe for Íbson. In Brazil, Flamengo is the priority. The Portuguese club's director expressed optimism in an interview with JS.\ "We've finalized a formal offer and we have to wait. They don't want to sell him, just loan him out, and they've asked for more time to respond. Given this, the possibility of us having him on loan is very high," said the director, who dismissed São Paulo's interest. "The player made it clear that he wants to play for Flamengo, not São Paulo," the director assured. \ Coach Muricy Ramalho gave interviews asserting that São Paulo was in the running for the player, a claim that was once again denied by Marco Aurélio Cunha, the São Paulo club's director of football. According to him, there is no significant interest in Íbson.\ Through his press office, Íbson assured that he was very happy that Porto did not want to sell him and reinforced that, on loan, he wants to stay at Flamengo.\ "I was very pleased with the affection the Porto board showed me. At this point in my career, I would only want to leave Flamengo and Porto permanently. If I were to be loaned out again, I want to stay at Flamengo. The moment I'm experiencing at Flamengo makes me think about bigger things, like winning a national title and being called up to the Brazilian national team. I'm eager to resolve this soon," said the player, who was allowed by Porto to continue training at Flamengo. \ In addition to Íbson, Flamengo may have to fight to keep right-back Léo Moura, who is reportedly wanted by Panathinaikos, from Greece. \
THE DAY

Ricardo Mota
Rio - Homesick, Joel Santana was in Gávea yesterday. The coach took advantage of his break from managing the South African national team to visit Flamengo. Despite his joy at the challenge of leading the team that will host the next World Cup, the coach still hasn't forgotten the trauma of being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, when Flamengo lost 3-0 to América of Mexico at the Maracanã, after winning the first leg 4-2. \ "It's fate, no one changes. It was a fatality. No one drowns on purpose, no one crashes out of a plane on purpose. The team was experiencing psychological wear and tear," he said, recalling the Rio de Janeiro title against Botafogo: "We performed very well in the games against Botafogo, and we won the title. Afterward, we thought the game against América was already won. But the guy (Cabañas) got everything right that day."\ But the coach says that Flamengo has everything it needs to return to the Libertadores next year to fight for the title.\ In a chat with Caio Júnior, Joel praised the performance of the Brasileirão leader. \ "I watch Flamengo's games in the wee hours of the morning. His work is very good. The team is one of the three favorites to stay on top of the table and fight for the title," he said.\ The coach just doesn't know if he'll go to Maracanã on Saturday for the match against Náutico. "The team is fine, it's calm. It's best to leave it as it is. And Náutico isn't foolish at all," he joked.\
Obina wins a starting spot
Rio - After scoring twice in the team's last game, starting striker Obina appears to have finally earned a starting spot. This Tuesday, the favorite of the red-and-black fans started the training session among the starters.
Also expected to face Náutico next Saturday at Maracanã are players Dininho and Kléberson. Dininho is expected to make his debut for the team, replacing captain Fábio Luciano, who is suspended. Five-time champion Kléberson is expected to replace Ibson, who is out of contract and will not be able to play in the match.
Without Ibson, Kleberson is ready to be a starter
Rio - Midfielder Kleberson's latest performances, against Ipatinga and Sport, where he scored and participated well in the matches, gave Flamengo's number 15 the confidence to take over from Ibson, whose contract ended last Monday, at least until the situation of the former club player is defined.
The five-time champion spoke about the demands and pressure that Flamengo's players face and said he was ready to establish himself in the starting 11.
"Here at Flamengo, everything is more difficult than at other clubs. Players are charged for 15 minutes on the field, for one pass. Some fit in quickly, while others take longer. I was a starter, lost my position, but I never lost my personality and waited for my opportunity again. I'm much better than when I started here. The experience helped me, and now I have to put what I know into practice to help the team maintain its good form," he said.
Even with the chance to establish himself in the team, the player showed confidence in Ibson's permanence and commented on the different characteristics between them.
"I'm hoping Ibson stays, but I'm ready to come in and help if necessary. Ibson is more of a forward finisher, while I score more," concluded the midfielder.
Guerrón: 'All that's left is to play for Flamengo' \ Rio - Full-back Guerrón, one of the standout players and heroes of LDU's title triumph, celebrated the title and, in a cocky tone, took the opportunity to criticize Fluminense. "This was my last match for LDU. I'll play for Getafe, and then all that's left is for me to play for Flamengo," said the player, who wore the red-and-black jersey in training on Monday and yesterday, after converting his penalty, told the Tricolor fans to shut up.\

Manager urges caution with Ibson case \ Gazeta Press\
Rio de Janeiro (RJ) - Flamengo's vice president of football, Kléber Leite, who had been in Portugal since last week, flew back to Rio de Janeiro this Wednesday and is now asking for calm so that Ibson's situation can be resolved.
"Flamengo has formalized an offer for Ibson to stay with us for another year. Porto doesn't want to negotiate a permanent deal for Ibson. The club is interested in placing him on the European market, but without negotiating him permanently," he stated.
"The player has already made it clear that he wants to stay at Flamengo on loan. At this point, I imagine Porto is trying to buy time to see if anything new emerges. We can only wait. Porto holds the deck, and they're the ones who call the shots," the Flamengo director added.
The player, however, does not hide his anxiety for the matter to be resolved quickly, preferably with Flamengo managing to secure his stay at Gávea.
"At this point in my career, I'd only like to leave Flamengo and Porto permanently. If I'm going on loan again, I want to stay at Flamengo," he explained.
Porto and Flamengo are the two teams I've played for so far, and I don't want to keep switching clubs. The moment I'm experiencing at Flamengo makes me think about bigger things, like winning a national title and being called up to the Brazilian national team. I'm eager to resolve this quickly, whatever is best for all parties," Ibson added.
After training on Wednesday afternoon, Flamengo will return to training this Thursday morning, again at Gávea. It will be the penultimate day of Rubro-Negro before the duel with Náutico. The team carioca is the isolated leader of Championship Brazilian, with 19 points, two more than Cruzeiro and Grêmio.

Rio de Janeiro (RJ) - With midfielder Ibson waiting for his future to be defined, which will only happen at the beginning of next week, midfielder Kléberson should gain a opportunity at Flamengo.

I was a starter, lost my position, but I never lost my personality and waited for my opportunity again. I'm much better than when I started here. The experience helped me, and now I have to put what I know into practice to help others.” team to maintain the good momentum” said the midfielder, world champion with the Brazilian national team in 2002.
Despite his desire to establish himself again in Flamengo's starting lineup, Kléberson assures that he's not rooting for Ibson to leave permanently. "I'm rooting for Ibson to stay, but I'm ready to come in and help if needed. Ibson prefers to get forward and finish, while I'm more of a defender," he emphasized, highlighting the differences between their playing styles.
Kléber Leite, who is responsible for the negotiations involving Ibson, confirmed that the player is not legally fit to play on Saturday, as his loan ended last Monday. "I've already told Caio Júnior that Ibson won't be able to play against Náutico, but with a little luck and a little help from God, he might be available for the match against Atlético-MG (on the 9th)," Kléber stated.

Tijuca bars explode with 'League of Vultures' celebration Flamengo fans watch the entire game silently, but can't contain themselves with LDU's title Cahê Mota From GLOBOESPORTE.COM, in Rio de Janeiro Cevallos' saves excited Flamengo fans Confidence, disappointment, and anger. These were the feelings that marked the Tricolor fans at Praça da Vanhargem, in Tijuca, during the final of the Copa Libertadores across Fluminense and LDU. Confidence until Fernando Henrique's save on the second penalty taken by the Ecuadorians, disappointment with the loss of the title and, mainly, anger at the celebration of about 150 red-and-black fans who, without wearing the red-and-black club's shirts, watched the game at the venue.
It was enough for goalkeeper Cevallos to save the penalty taken by Washington for the group of red-blacks to explode in a surprising way and sing love songs to the Flamengo and offensive to the tricolor coach Renato Gaúcho.
"The clown show is over. It's over. We're the only world champions. We set an example against América of Mexico, and they didn't learn. We have to respect everyone. They were very arrogant," says journalist Marcelo Pessanha.
In Baixo Gávea, red-blacks enjoy LDU's title alongside a good-humored tricolor Despite the provocations, there was no disturbance involving the red-blacks and tricolors. While the rivals enjoyed themselves, the Fluminense fans left the venue resigned.
"I don't even have anything to say. I don't know. The team played well in the match, but..." laments a Tricolor before leaving the place without identifying himself.
In Baixo Gávea, some Flamengo fans were seen wearing Flamengo shirts, but surprisingly, they only drank alongside Flamengo fans. Even so, they couldn't help but revel in their rival's defeat.

Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship "I've been watching Flamengo's games late at night in South Africa. Caio's work has been very good, the team is one of the three favorites to stay on top of the table and fight for the title. I've already seen that they have a new defender (Dininho). I asked Toró what happened to him. He wasn't injured before."
Trauma of elimination from the Libertadores "Some things don't change, it's fate, it was a fatality. Nobody drowns on purpose, nobody falls out of a plane on purpose. The team was suffering from psychological exhaustion. The victory in Mexico could have been a six-game victory. Then there were the two games against Botafogo, and we did very well, we won the title. Two days later, we were on the field thinking we had it all won. The guy (Cabañas) got everything right that day. If we played them ten more times, anywhere, we would win all ten. If it didn't happen this year, it will happen next year."

Work in South Africa "The job is just beginning, it's a different experience. If it were easy, I wouldn't be there. Parreira left a very good job, everything well planned. Arriving is always complicated, but I was well received. When people don't know you, there's this strange feeling. There were about ten coaches ahead of me; I wasn't hired by chance. They talked a lot, but it's not like that. I'll be here for another 15 or 20 days. On August 19th, I have a friendly against Australia. So far, I've played four games, with two losses, one draw, and one win."

Caio Júnior is considering reinforcements if Ibson doesn't stay at the club The red-black coach believes that the squad would be lacking a player who has the characteristics to reach the attack Fred Huber From GLOBOESPORTE.COM, in Rio de Janeiro Caio Júnior analyzes the possibility of Fla needing to hire a supporter The possible departure of Ibson, who is without a contract and is discussing with Porto whether to stay at Flamengo or move to another team is a concern for coach Caio Júnior. The red-and-black manager believes the squad would be lacking players with the ability to get forward. He believes only Renato Augusto and Erick Flores qualify as midfielders, and he's already considering options on the market to strengthen the squad. \ "Ibson is a very versatile player. If he doesn't stay, we might need a midfielder, because we only have Renato Augusto and Erick Flores. Finding a player on the market is difficult, but we'll wait and see what happens with Ibson," he says. \ Flamengo's vice-president of football, Kléber Leite, was in Portugal to talk to Porto's directors, but was unable to find a solution.Portuguese officials, however, hope to negotiate Ibson with a European club.

Caio Júnior confirms Obina, Dininho and Kleberson against Náutico Coach, once again, is unable to repeat the team's lineup Fred Huber From GLOBOESPORTE.COM, in Rio de Janeiro Obina earns a starting spot Coach Caio Júnior practically confirmed the team Flamengo which faces Náutico this Saturday at Maracanã. The starting players are expected to be those who played in Wednesday afternoon's training session at Gávea. Obina, who scored the only goal of the training session, is expected to partner Marcinho. Dininho will make his debut in the red-and-black jersey, replacing the suspended captain Fábio Luciano. Kleberson will replace Ibson, who is out of contract.
Caio Júnior believes the team won't feel the absence of two key starters. He added that during the match, he's considering putting Souza alongside Obina in place of a defensive midfielder if he needs more attacking power.
"This is the team we're likely to play, I'm trying to be consistent. Dininho should come in for Fábio (Luciano) and Kleberson for Ibson, especially since he's been decisive in games and has similar characteristics to Ibson. I practiced this option with Souza coming in alongside Obina, and we can use it during the match. All the changes are players who play the same positions and perform the same roles as those who left. I don't think the team will notice," he argues.
With the changes for the match against Náutico, the coach remains unable to repeat a starting lineup in the Brazilian Championship. Caio Júnior believes this will become an even stronger trend going forward, noting that some players, such as forward Éder, may have the opportunity to play.
"Probably 90% of teams face this problem of not repeating their lineups. This will worsen when we have midweek games. But it will also give some players opportunities. Éder, for example, has shown enormous potential; he's a great finisher. We have a lot of players in this position, but if he gets a chance, I'm sure he'll take it," he says.

No separate championship against Flamengo For Dinamite, relationships with rivals must be the best possible
For Roberto Dinamite, matches against Flamengo are not separate championships LANCEPRESS! Eurico Miranda's time as Vasco's board member, regardless of his position, was marked by provocation toward rivals in Rio de Janeiro, especially Flamengo. However, with Roberto Dinamite in charge, the philosophy is different. While facing the Rubro-Negro was a separate competition for the former Vasco president, his mindset from now on at São Januário is different. According to the former player, the goal should be different. "There's no such thing as a separate championship, there isn't any more. We have to beat Flamengo, as well as Fluminense and Botafogo, to win titles. And all of this has to be healthy," commented the Cruzmaltino president. Controversy, a strong point of Eurico Miranda's administration, seems to be of no interest to the new Vasco director. This is largely because his star status transcends club boundaries. At his inauguration, held on Tuesday night at the Lagoa nautical headquarters, in addition to illustrious Vasco fans and state and sports authorities, the presence of former Flamengo player Júnior and Flamengo president Márcio Braga drew attention. In the Brazilian Championship, the two clubs face each other in the 11th round, on the 13th, and in the 30th, on October 19th, both at Maracanã.
