In addition to the fight for the fans' support, on the 25th, Flamengo is also rushing to release midfielder Cristian for the match against Atlético-PR.

When he signed with the Paraná club, the player learned he couldn't face his former club. "It was an imposition, and I only accepted it because otherwise they wouldn't let me come to Flamengo. But I'm happy here; Flamengo pays me, and I don't think it's fair to be left out. The team is close to reaching the Copa Libertadores, and I want to help us achieve that goal," said Cristian, whose contract runs until the end of the year.
