Since the injury to striker Pedro, Flamengo has faced a phase of instability that has generated concern among fans and managers . The player, who had been a key player in the red and black attack, was sidelined due to an injury, and the impact on the field was evident. In 12 games since the incident, Flamengo has won just 4 victories, a performance well below expectations for a club that always fights for titles in all the competitions it competes in.
In addition to the few victories, Flamengo also suffered 6 defeats, a high number for a team of its size. The team managed 2 draws, but the instability in the results points to the difficulty of maintaining a competitive game standard without the presence of Pedro. The offensive sector, in particular, was the most affected, with the team scoring just 8 goals during this period, a direct reflection of the absence of the top scorer. With 7 goals conceded, the defense has also shown some flaws, but the main The problem is offensive ineffectiveness.
PEDRO'S DEPENDENCE IN THE ATTACK OF MAIS DEAR
The elimination of the Copa Libertadores is, without a doubt, the most critical point of this bad sequence. Flamengo, who had ambitions of winning the continental tournament once again,< /b> saw his chances thwarted, which increased the pressure on the cast and coaching staff. The lack of decisive goals and inconsistent performance were decisive for the early decline in the competition, something that increased criticism regarding the team's performance since Pedro's injury.
Flamengo's coach has been looking for alternatives in the squad to make up for the striker's absence, but no solution so far has managed to be as effective as Pedro had been. The team's dependence on the player became even more evident in this sequence of games, and the numbers prove this difficulty. Even with the quality of other athletes in the squad, Flamengo has not yet found an offensive balance that allows it to recover its performance.
THE LACK OF INCOME AT THE CLUB
Pedro's return to the field is awaited with anticipation, but until then, the Flamengo will need to find ways to improve its performance, especially in attack. With the Brazilian Championship underway and the need to win again, the club will have to adjust its stance and correct the flaws presented in the last games, the season still holds challenges.

The signing of Colombian Jorge Carrascal was made official by Flamengo this Monday (04), marking the end of a negotiation that dragged on for weeks. The 26-year-old midfielder was presented at Ninho do Urubu with the traditional delivery of the red-black shirt , ending a process that required management skills and strong legal action.
Led by technical director José Boto , the operation's main challenge was the bureaucratic procedures involving Dynamo Moscow, the player's former club. The director emphasized that the impasse was not related to the player's wishes or the agreement with the Rio de Janeiro club, but rather to measures to ensure that Flamengo would not suffer future financial or contractual losses.
" Finally introducing Jorge, after a long period that had nothing to do with negotiations. It had to do with a way to make the operation clear, so that Flamengo wouldn't pay a single euro more and wouldn't have any problems in the end," said Boto.
According to José Boto, Carrascal always expressed a desire to wear the red-and-black jersey , which facilitated the initial agreement. However, the negotiation became more difficult as it involved three clubs and depended on delicate legal and financial arrangements.
"It has nothing to do with him; it was easy for us to reach an agreement. Afterwards, it was difficult to work on it because it was a complicated operation , involving two other clubs. I'm grateful for his patience and the effort he put in to be here," said the technical director.
In a relieved mood, Boto celebrated the reinforcement's arrival. Carrascal received the number 15 jersey and posed for photos as a new player in the main squad. " I want to say that everything was done, as I said, so that Flamengo wouldn't have to pay a single euro more . Bap knows all about these things, obviously, just as he knows everything that goes on here. I'm very happy that he [Carrascal] is here."

On the night of last Monday (04), the members of Olaria Atlético Clube approved the sale of their Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF) to a consortium that promises to transform the scenario of the traditional Rio de Janeiro club. The group is formed by rapper L7nnon, former Flamengo director Marcos Braz , and the sports marketing company Ric's, which had been managing the club's football since 2020.
The move represents an attempt at a definitive restructuring for the club from Rio de Janeiro's North Zone, which has faced serious financial and administrative problems for years. The SAF was authorized weeks ago, paving the way for the entry of investors and a complete overhaul of the team's sporting and structural management.
Olaria president André Luiz "Batata" celebrated the proposal's approval, highlighting the importance of the new management model for the team's future: "This represents a way out of the crisis and an opportunity to rebuild the club. Having investors is essential to turning the situation around," he stated.
The new SAF will be managed by a consortium composed of DTS Serviços Integrados de Telecomunicações, which has Marcos Braz among its partners, DLA Investments, linked to the artist L7nnon, and Ric's, led by Ricardo Gonzaga. The latter also highlighted the limitations faced so far: " There are always too many liens and I can't manage them fairly. With SAF, things can flow more efficiently," he stated.
Since Ric's took over the football department, Olaria has shown significant improvement on the field, jumping from Série B1 to Série A2 of the Campeonato Carioca. The club currently finds itself in the semifinals of the state's Second Division after a surprising run.

Flamengo continues to work with full focus on the decisive clash against Atlético-MG , valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The duel is scheduled for this Wednesday (06), at 7 pm, at Arena MRV . After the 1-0 defeat at Maracanã, Mais Querido needs to win to stay alive in the dispute for the national title.
Coach Filipe Luís will have two important players back: Everton Cebolinha and Michael. Both participated normally in the activities held last Monday (04), at CT Ninho do Urubu, and are options in the squad for the decision.
Everton Cebolinha, number 11, hasn't played since the 1-0 win over Fluminense on July 20. He was named in the Brasileirão match against Atlético-MG , but wasn't called up. Michael has been absent since June 24, when he played in the 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC in the Club World Cup playoffs.
Flamengo 's likely starting lineup for the game is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Viña; Allan (Saúl), Jorginho, Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino, and Pedro (Bruno Henrique). The lineup may undergo adjustments before the match, but it indicates a clear attacking approach.
For the first time, Luiz Araújo, Samu Lino, and Pedro are expected to form Flamengo's attacking trio , representing an attempt to surprise the Minas Gerais defense with a new attacking dynamic. The presence of Bruno Henrique as an option also expands the tactical possibilities.
