Filipe Luís's renewal agreement with Flamengo is close, says portal

Defendant in the sports sphere and also in the Common Justice , Bruno Henrique was sentenced this Thursday (29) by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) to 12 matches of suspension and the payment of a fine of R$ 60 thousand . The trial was held in Rio de Janeiro and the striker, who had four days off granted by Flamengo during the Fifa Date, participated remotely.

The case involves the accusation that the number 27 had previously informed people close to him about the yellow card he received in the duel against Santos, at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023.

According to the complaint, the transfer allegedly benefited his brother, Wander, who used the data in sports betting schemes. Auditors found there was sufficient evidence to convict the athlete, resulting in the application of the sports penalty.

OTHERS INVOLVED

In addition to Bruno Henrique and his brother Wander, the lawsuit also named other names, including Claudinei Vitor Mosquete Bassan, Andryl Reis, and Douglas Barcelos . Although mentioned in the court records, Ludymilla Araújo Lima, Wander's wife, and Poliana Ester Nunes Cardoso, the striker's cousin, were not formally included among those charged by the sports court.

NEXT STEPS FOR THE ATTACKER

The decision does not conclude the case, as an appeal can still be filed with the full Superior Court of Justice (STJD) , the highest court in the sports sector. The defense may request a stay of execution, allowing Bruno Henrique to act while awaiting the final judgment. The Prosecutor's Office also has the right to appeal if it deems the sentence insufficient.

Young Wallace Yan, considered one of Flamengo's promising prospects , is going through a difficult time at the club. The striker had been receiving attention and good opportunities, but things changed after the team's elimination from the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG , when he missed a penalty kick.

According to GE, after this incident, the athlete lost his place in Filipe Luís's squad . He was included in the next six games, but only saw action twice, totaling 16 minutes of play.

COMPETITION FOR THE POSITION

Besides the missed penalty, other factors explain Wallace Yan 's reduced presence. Samuel Lino's consolidation on the left wing and Pedro's physical recovery have increased competition in the attack . As a result, the 20-year-old, previously considered the coach's "darling," is experiencing a period of reduced prominence.

NO GAMES PERIOD

The squad was given a day off after the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã and will return to Ninho do Urubu on Friday. The next game is on September 14 (Sunday) against Juventude in Caxias do Sul.

So, after the FIFA World Cup break, the team returns to action. This break could be an opportunity for Wallace Yan to work on his mental and physical health , aiming to regain the coaching staff's trust and fight for minutes again.

This Thursday's (4) clash between Brazil and Chile , valid for the penultimate round of the Qualifiers, could mark Samuel Lino's debut with the National Team's shirt. The Mais Querido striker was called up by Carlo Ancelotti after Matheus Cunha's injury. The match will be played at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

In an interview with CBF TV, the left winger expressed surprise at the unexpected call-up. " It was a surprise, because the call-up had already been made, and unfortunately, Matheus got injured, " said Samuel Lino , expressing joy at the opportunity.

SAMUEL LINO TELLS BEHIND THE SCENES

According to the player, the call-up was received in an unusual way while he was in the concentration for the match against Grêmio, last Sunday (31), for Brasileirão Betano. He revealed that the news came through a friend during his rest.

“ I said, 'Why are you sending this?' Then he said, 'You've been called up.' I said, 'Are you crazy? What are you talking about? ' Soon after, he added, "I looked at it and said, 'That's a lie.' I was so happy," the athlete declared.

TIPS FROM FLAMENGO COLLEAGUES

Samuel Lino also highlighted the advice he received from more experienced teammates who have already worn the national team jersey. Danilo and Alex Sandro, players with extensive international experience , shared tips for the striker to make the most of his current situation.

" Danilo said the people here are relaxed, and he also talked about the situation of speaking. Alex Sandro also gave me some tips ," the striker commented in a relaxed tone. Now, the expectation is to see if Samuel Lino will get the chance to step onto the field and begin his career with the national team in front of the fans at Maracanã.
