00:00Cruzeiro presented its fourth signing of the preseason for the second half of the season this Friday afternoon.
00:06The season has already resumed, and Cruzeiro had previously presented Gabriel Peck, Gabriel Rojas, and Zé Lucas.
00:12Today, at the Raposa 2 training ground, they presented striker Lúcio Rodrigues, a player who comes from Neon in Saudi Arabia.
00:18Cruzeiro joins on a one-season loan.
00:21This is the fourth reinforcement for Raposa, bringing their total to six for the second half of the season.
00:25The team will also introduce João Costa in the coming days, who also comes from Saudi Arabia.
00:30And the striker Wesley, formerly of Corinthians, who also arrive on a one-season loan.
00:35Cruzeiro brought in six new players with the aim of securing a spot in the second half of the season, a second half full of crucial matches.
00:41The first one is already over; Cruzeiro beat Chapecoense last Wednesday at home in Mineirão.
00:46Next week there's another match against Flamengo.
00:49With this game in mind, Cruzeiro brought in these six reinforcements, but also suffered some very important losses in the team.
00:55Two players left the club during the off-season.
00:59Kaique went to Como in Italy and Christian went to Krasnodar in Russia.
01:04Two very important players, absolute starters in Arthur Jorge's team, whom he had to replace during this off-season.
01:11In the transfer market, Cruzeiro went looking for a left-back to replace Kaique.
01:15In the case of Gabriel Rojas, he was presented, he already played, he already secured the position.
01:18And I also previously brought Gabriel Peck in to play on the wing, but Gabriel Peck got injured.
01:23He suffered a very serious injury to his tibia, a fracture, and will be out of action for a long time.
01:28And Sinisterra, who had recovered from an injury, started to be a starter, recovered, and began the second half of the season very well.
01:36But he also suffered a very serious injury to his thigh, a muscle injury.
01:39He had to undergo surgery in Finland.
01:42Sinisterra, who suffers from many muscle problems, sought a very specific treatment to address this issue.
01:49Since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in Europe.
01:53Cruzeiro will then arrive for this duel against Flamengo next week.
01:57With six new additions to the team: Wesley, Zé Lucas (who came from sports), João Costa (who will be presented soon), Lúcio, and Gabriel.
02:07Rojas and Gabriel Peck.
02:08But they also lost some important players.
02:11Two of them went outside, Kaique and Christian.
02:14And some injuries as well, such as those of Sinisterra and Gabriel Peck.
02:18Over in Rio de Janeiro, Lucas Baia is now going to tell us about the situation regarding...
02:22Flemish,
02:22who arrives for this duel next week here in Belo Horizonte.
02:25Flamengo has until early Friday evening to register new players for the Libertadores Cup.
02:31Flamengo will face Cruzeiro on Wednesday in the first leg of the round of 16.
02:35And so far Flamengo has not finalized any reinforcements for this match.
02:38Unlike Cruzeiro, which has made up to six signings, Flamengo currently has...
02:43Luiz Henrique, as their main target, is trying to finalize this signing.
02:46And behind the scenes, a common ground is being reached with Zenit of Russia.
02:50Initially, Flamengo tried to sign Thiago Almada, but was unsuccessful.
02:53It took him about two weeks or more to try and seduce the player.
02:57Of course, River Plate was interested, and that weighed heavily in this story.
03:00And now Flamengo's sights are set on Luiz Henrique.
03:02The Zenit coach even spoke about this issue a little while ago.
03:05If it's a good offer for both the player and the club, there's no reason why he shouldn't leave.
03:09from Zenit.
03:09But the truth is that in the next few hours Flamengo will delve deeper into this negotiation.
03:13and try to secure that reinforcement with a view to the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup.
03:16But it's important to point out that this signing isn't solely related to the Libertadores Cup.
03:21If Flamengo fails to finalize the deal for Luiz Henrique today, on Saturday, Sunday, or early next week,
03:26Flamengo will try, will continue this pursuit of trying to sign Luiz Henrique.
03:31To keep you up to date on everything that will happen with Flamengo and Cruzeiro in the Libertadores Cup,
03:34Of course, you have to follow the play here, both for Cruzeiro and Flamengo.
03:37We're going to do a very special report on this.
03:39Thanks! Hugs, everyone!
03:44Goodbye!
