After that disappointing 1st leg, we came back storming with 8 goals. Juan Cazares, who is clear runner for signing of the season, scored an amazing 5 goals with 2 assist to take a perfect 10 rating. We also had the unnecessary red card by Wellington Silva but in the end, it didn't matter.

Paolo Guerrero made it 3-0 after a close range finish which was timed impeccably. Cazares got his hat trick after a placed shot from close range. Guerrero got his 2nd and made it 5-0 after taking advantage of Martinho Lutero's error to score a well timed shot from close range. Cazares made it 6-0 when he seized on Patric's error to score well timed finish from close range.

Wellington Silva was ejected from the game after receiving the straight red card for the bad tackle. Alex made it 7-0 after a towering header from close range. Cazares added his 5th goal of the night and made it 8-0 after an effort from 18 metres which hit the inside of the post before crossing the line.

Our journey to the Campeonato Carioca title has ended with a disappointing lost to our rivals Botafogo. Even with the man advantage, we could not get our team going to score. With the loss now, we will now put our focus to Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa do Brasil.

The only goal of the game was by Souza after a powerful effort. Roger Carvalho got his 2nd yellow of the game and was ejected after a bad tackle.

First game of the season is dealt with and it was with success. It was a tough game as we need the man advantage to help us win. We dominated throughout the game with 10 shots attempt.

Crysan tied the game early in the 2nd half after taking advantage of Wellington Silva to score a close range finish which was timed impeccably. Cristan got his 2nd yellow of the game after a ungentlemanly conduct. Paolo Guerrero scored the game winning goal after a well timed close range finish.

What a game! I thought that we were done after the 1st half when we were down 3-0 but we didn't give up and scored 3 goals to salvage the draw. We need to be better as we were dominated throughout the game but the 3 away goals is vital to us if we want to continue with this competition.

Bruno Rangel scored the first goal for Chapecoense after a nice effort from 13 metres. Camilo made it 2-0 when he scored a well timed finish from close range. Bruno got his 2nd and made it 3-0 after taking advantage of Talisca's error to score a deftly executed finish from close range. Gabriel cut the lead to 2 after a well timed finish from close range. Kayke made it 3-2 after a deftly executed finish from close range. Gabriel did the comeback equalizer after taking advantage of Bonfim's error to score a shot which owed an assist to the post.

We should have won this game. We were the better team. But we slipped up right after scoring. We need to focus 100% throughout the game if we want to qualify to Copa Libertadores.

Hector Canteros scored the first goal of the game after a nice effort from 16 metres. Weverton Gomes tied that game when he scored an accurate finish.

Ronaldinho to Manage Olympic Team?

View attachment 172299

There are rumors that swirling around Brazil that Ronaldinho will manage the U23 Brazilian National team when they will play at home in Rio de Janeiro. This looks like a perfect opportunity as since Flamengo is based in Rio, managing the national team won't be a big issue. But Ronaldinho isn't comfirming anything at the moment.

"I cannot confirm nor deny this information" said Ronaldinho "I am committed to Flamengo 100% and I want to keep it like this. It would be fun to manage Brazil to their first Olympic gold, especially at home. But I have an obligation to Flamengo."

The CBF will announce it's manager in a couple of days. Whether or not Ronaldinho manages, Brazil will have a huge burden on its shoulder to erases the 2014 World Cup disappointment.​

We got extremely lucky that we came out of this game with a draw. Emerson Sheik was sent off and we were in a tough place as Sport started to pick up on their play in the 2nd half.

The only thing that happened in the game was Emerson Sheik got his 2nd yellow of the game after a persistent fouling.

In a unsurprising announcement, Ronaldinho will be the next Olympic manager for Brazil until the end of the tournament. This will be a great opportunity of Ronaldinho to advance in his career and a possible preview as the future manager of the national team.

"I'm excited" said Ronaldinho "It was a difficult decision but it was one that I could not pass. An opportunity to manage for Brasil is an honour. As I said, I will still give my 100% focus to Flamengo."

Ronaldinho has appeared in two Olympics (Quarterfinals in 2000 and Bronze medal in 2008). He will hope to finally get gold for his country.

Brazil was drawn in Group C with USA, Australia, and Sweden.

Our third straight draw in Campeonato Brasileiro which is a bit of a worry. But at least that we are still unbeaten in the league but we are now dropping down the standing. We are in 9th place with 6 points.

Nilton scored the first goal after deftly executed finish from close range. Kayke equalized that game by a penalty after D'Alessandro gave it away by a handball.

What a terrible game. We were non-existence in the entire match. We had 2 penalty calls that were not called. There is really nothing to say but we have to get better.

Cleo scored the first goal of the game after a powerful effort. Bruno Pereirinha made it 2-0 after a nice effort from 11 metres. Juan Carzares pulled back one for Flamengo after an incisive finish from 10 metres. Cleo got his 2nd when he scored a powerful effort from close range. Cleo got his hat trick a minute later after an accurate finish from inside the penalty area.
