One of the highlights of the Nova Iguaçu in Carioca, Yago has the DNA of an old acquaintance of Flamengo, opponent of the final. Loaned by Fluminense to the Série D team, the midfielder is the son of Iranildo, who was also a midfielder, state and Mercosul champion for the red-black club. Having also spent time at clubs such as Botafogo, Bahia and Santa Cruz, “Chuchu” – a nickname given by Romário precisely during the Rubro-Negro era – is his son's great advisor.
“My father is a guy I can count on for tips on how to hit the ball, positioning, the best time to pass. His phrase before games is always: 'have a good game and have fun on the field'", said Yago in a recent interview.
The player has one of the mirrors for the career that is being built in Iranildo. Born in 2001, he also has a common name for the generation as his idol. “My inspiration comes from my father. Everything he has achieved and his style of play motivates me a lot. And Messi, who has been my idol since I was young. I watched his videos every day, the moves, the dribbling... That woke me up to football”, he remembers.
The midfielder is at the third club of his career. Before, he was at Náutico and Fluminense, the club that revealed him. He was picked up by Tricolor scouts when he was playing in a match for Barcelona's academy, at the Zico Football Center (CFZ). The young midfielder is at Nova Iguaçu on loan from Fluminense – contract until the end of Série D, in September –, but the future is still unknown. Iranildo, who helps manage his son's career, recently commented on a possible return to Laranjeiras and cited “equal opportunities”.
The Baixada Fluminense club is analyzing a possible dismantling after the good performance at Carioca. Goalkeeper Fabrício is close to Internacional and striker Carlinhos closed with Flamengo. “Sometimes, I see some news or another, but all this off-field issues are my responsibility. I think more about the next game, I've always been like that. Now, after the return game, we will sit down and see the best way forward, to be able to have a good sequence of games and continue playing at the level I am at”, he stated.

Flamengo fans will fondly remember the term Geração 1985. Diego Alves, Diego Ribas, Filipe Luís and Rafinha were part of the unforgettable red and black team that won the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores on the same weekend, in 2019. Today separated by life circumstances, the four came together on Ribas' podcast, 10 and Faixa.
Diego Ribas invited Filipe Luís to talk about the new moment of the former player, now coach of Sub -17 from Flamengo, among other topics. Of course, Filipe Luís' presence on the 10 e Faixa podcast could not go unnoticed. On the studio screen, the other two members of Geração 1985 appeared, Diego Alves and Rafinha.
As expected, the meeting of the four friends ended in a lot of fun and lots of laughter. To begin with, Diego Alves made fun of Rafinha, who couldn't place his cell phone camera horizontally. Finally, São Paulo's right-back made it and was applauded by the other three. Filipe Luís greeted his friends in the way they are used to: “It turned into a mess!”
Diego Alves, Rafinha, Filipe Luís and Diego Ribas were part of the second most successful team in Flamengo's history. From 2019 to 2023, when Filipe Luís retired, members of the 1985 Generation won 11 cups for Rubro-Negro. There were two Libertadores, two Brazilians, one Brazilian Cup, two Super Cups, one Recopa and three State Championships.
Rafinha was the first to leave, still in 2020. Then it was the turn of Diego Alves and Diego Ribas, who left with a party at Maracanã, at the end of 2022. Filipe Luís stayed another year, but played little in 2023. At the end of the season, he retired and soon after took on the role of Under-17 coach.

Flamengo's defense is one of the best in Brazil in terms of numbers, but, in April, it had a drop in performance compared to the start of the season. Rubro-Negro continues to concede few goals, it's true, but the number has increased significantly this month. Tite and company had more games with the goal leaked than cleared.
It's an unusual situation for those who have followed Flamengo since the beginning of the season. Defensive solidity is one of Tite's hallmarks, but, amid the marathon of games this month, the system has shown itself to be a little more fragile. Trivela explains what changed during this period.
First of all, it is necessary to take into account that the technical level of Flamengo's opponents has increased significantly this month. If in February and March, months in which they went without conceding a single goal, Rubro-Negro only competed against Carioca, April reserved debuts in the Libertadores and Brasileirão. Even though the State has its regional classics, the nuances are completely different.
In the Libertadores, for example, Flamengo faced altitude twice and lost both times, this factor needs to be considered. In other games, like against São Paulo, for example, Rubro-Negro could have ended without conceding goals.
