According to the portalO Globo Esportes, the reformulation that will take place at Flamengo will not only affect the squad, but will also affect other professionals from different areas of the club. The decision to promote changes is not restricted only to players, but also extends to all sectors that make up the Flamengo environment.
However, it is important to highlight that the football department is not just looking at the players. According to internal Flamengo sources, the reformulation will also cover other professionals who play crucial roles behind the scenes at the club. This includes members of the coaching staff, doctors, physiotherapists, performance analysts and other employees who contribute to the team's success.
The measure in question is seen internally as an action of considerable importance. Although some believe that it is smaller than necessary to achieve the objectives set, there is a consensus that it is larger than initially planned. This demonstrates the seriousness and commitment of the board and the technical committee in seeking solutions to the challenges that Flamengo faces.
The reformulation will involve a thorough assessment of each professional and the identification of areas that need improvement. This will be done through performance analysis, feedback and direct conversations, always aiming to improve and evolve the club as a whole. Furthermore, the reformulation will not be limited to technical issues alone. She will also have a special focus on the club's culture and mindset, seeking to strengthen the values and principles that are fundamental to long-term success. This includes promoting a healthy and collaborative work environment, where all professionals feel valued and motivated to do their best.
The decision to reformulate was not taken hastily. It is the result of in-depth analyzes and reflections on the challenges faced by Flamengo in recent seasons. The board is committed to taking measures that guarantee the club's return to the top of Brazilian and international football. It is important to highlight that the reformulation does not necessarily mean the departure of professionals. It may also involve the training and development of internal talents, aiming to build a solid and cohesive team, both on and off the field.
The expectation is that the changes will promote an environment of healthy competition, where all professionals strive to achieve the best results. This, in turn, could have a positive impact on Flamengo's sporting results and the satisfaction of its fans. In short, the reformulation that will take place at Flamengo is comprehensive and targets not only the squad of players, but also other professionals and aspects crucial to the functioning of the club. It represents a serious commitment by the board to seek solutions to the challenges faced and strengthen Flamengo's position on the national and international sporting scene.
With a poor performance away from the field, the Argentine team tries to stop Mengão's momentum in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.

Despite being signed only in the last transfer window, Saúl Ñíguez has already become one of the most important players in Flamengo's squad . The Spanish midfielder arrived at the club on a free transfer and quickly established himself in the starting lineup.
Spanish newspaper Marca highlighted the athlete's rapid adaptation. " The former Atlético de Madrid player arrived at Flamengo with the mission of becoming an important player and maintaining a prominent role in the starting lineup . His adaptation didn't take long," the publication reported.
According to the publication, Saúl is experiencing "a second youth" in Brazilian football and has already established himself as a key midfielder. Despite only registering one assist in eight games , he has played a more defensive role in Filipe Luís's team.
In the victory over Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , Saúl started alongside Allan in midfield and provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal in the 31st minute of the first half.
Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Saúl Ñíguez should once again be among the starters for the red-black team.
