Last Saturday night (4), Flamengo drew another match for the 2024 Brazilian Championship. In a duel away from home, Mengão hesitated and only ended up 1-1 with Red Bull Bragantino, in the fifth round of the competition. It is worth noting that the confrontation against Braga generated a large complaint from Rubro-Negro, due to the performance of the refereeing. The directors, players and members of the technical committee complained about two 'errors', the annulment of Luan Cândido's expulsion and a penalty not awarded to Luiz Araújo.
Also mentioning the duel at Nabi Abi Chedid, in addition due to the pressure against referee Paulo Cesar Zanovelli da Silva, our fans couldn't bear to see yet another 'terrible' performance from midfielder Allan and tried to detonate the athlete on the web.
Therefore, the following comments against the player came to light (SIC). “This guy doesn’t have the ball to play here, he needs to leak!” “He makes mistakes in almost everything he tries, it’s really bad.” “So far, the guy hasn't demonstrated the football that made him a target in the market, he has to improve.”
It's worth remembering that the number 21 arrived at Mengão in July 2023 and hasn't managed to succeed yet. After all, frequent injuries have been interfering with his progress. The player has a contract at Gávea until December 2027 and has been frequently used by Tite.
Above all, returning to the rest of the season, Fla's next game will be against Palestino, in Chile, for the Libertadores, at 9pm (Brasília time) on Tuesday (7). The team led by Tite needs victory to continue dreaming of qualifying for the next stage.
Finally, even playing away from home, the three-time Libertadores champion has the squad to seek victory, and scored goals in all their games in the competition so far. A victory is crucial for the team to remain calm and secure a place in the round of 16.

Flamengo beat Juventude this Sunday (14), 2-0, in a game valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.

Danilo on Flamengo's victory against Juventude away: "There was this historical context and we really wanted to change that"
"As a fan, I saw Flamengo suffer a lot here when I was a kid. This was discussed before the game because of this historical context, and we really wanted to change that. And, of course, also for the three points, for our continued progress in the championship. We understand that every game is of the utmost importance . There's no next game, there's this one we're living through," he stated.
The defender then emphasized the importance of the team's mindset: "We've been doing this, working game by game, without thinking too much about the future. I think this is the strategy for achieving great things at the end of the season . Now we're entering a phase where points matter even more, in the last three months. We have to continue this path, giving maximum importance to each moment," he concluded.
With the result in Caxias do Sul, Flamengo beat Juventude again away from home after almost 28 years . The last victory had been on October 1, 1997, 1-0, with an own goal by Rodrigo Costa. Since then, Flamengo has accumulated six draws and seven losses at the Rio Grande do Sul stadium.
Now, Flamengo turns its focus to the Copa Libertadores. The next match will be this Thursday (18), against Estudiantes (ARG), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals. Mengão wants to get a victory with a large score to be more comfortable in the return leg.

Spanish midfielder Saúl experienced a weekend of intense emotions on and off the field. One of the key players in Flamengo's 2-0 victory over Juventude in the Brazilian Championship , he played the full 90 minutes despite accumulated fatigue. He had traveled to attend the birth of his third child and, despite having little rest, contributed an assist in the match played in Caxias do Sul.
" It's been crazy. Marco was born at 4:16 a.m. Luckily, everything went very well; my wife is already home with him. We spent the whole night at the hospital. At 6 a.m., we went to our room, and at 8 a.m., they sent me a message from the club telling me to try to get to training at Ninho do Urubu," Saúl reported.
Freed to spend Saturday with his family, Saúl had to wake up at dawn again to travel from Saturday to Sunday to meet the red-and-black delegation. The Spaniard had only 40 minutes of rest before taking the field .
"I went home, met my other two children, and took them to the hospital so they could meet Marco. We stayed until 7:30 or 8:00 p.m., and then we all went home. Then I went to bed, woke up at 3:00 a.m., and arrived at the airport at 5:00 a.m. I caught a flight to Campinas and then to Caxias do Sul. I went straight to the hotel and managed to rest for about 40 minutes. It was a rush. The important thing is that everything went well," he said.
An undisputed starter in Flamengo 's midfield, Saúl has been a mainstay of the team under Filipe Luís. The coach even stated that "we're seeing the best Saúl, perhaps the best of his career ."
The midfielder, however, prefers to keep his feet on the ground. " I don't think so. I think I've had some really good times. Mentally, I'm in a great place. My family is with me on this adventure, and I know it's not easy for my wife ," he said before concluding.
"Every time I spend with my teammates, I aim to participate, but for those who follow us, it's never easy. I've had some very memorable moments, and now I'm experiencing another very good one too. We can have bad times, it's part of the game, so we have to enjoy the good ones too," he said.
