The clash between Flamengo and Palmeiras in the semi-final of the Campeonato Carioca not only highlighted the talent on the field, but also sparked heated debates about refereeing. The controversy ranged from crucial moves to the use of the video referee (VAR), raising questions about the coherence and impartiality of the decisions. p>
During the match, a striking entry by Felipe Melo in the first half generated intense discussion. The aggressiveness of the move, which escaped punishment with a yellow card, led many to question the need for VAR intervention. For Bruno Spindel, executive director of Flamengo, the duality of criteria was evident:
"He had two criteria, and that doesn't fit into a semifinal game of a championship of the greatness of Carioca", he stated, expressing frustration with the apparent lack of consistency on the part of the refereeing. Another highlight was the penalty awarded after VAR analysis.
The justification given was a foul committed by Nico in Martinelli before the penalty. However, the discrepancy in the application of the rules, especially in moves involving players like Arrascaeta, brought to light the feeling of injustice and inequality.
The absence of cards in controversial plays, added to the excessive dependence on VAR in situations of extreme violence, it aroused criticism from both fans and the teams involved. For spectators and professionals linked to football, consistency and transparency in refereeing are fundamental to the integrity and credibility of the sport.
In view of the flaws and inconsistencies evidenced in the confrontation between Flamengo and Palmeiras, the need grows more careful analysis and review of protocols to ensure a fair and balanced game for all competing teams.
Rodolfo Landim's management ends with achievements on and off the field

The 2024 season is being a milestone in Flamengo's history, not only due to its results in competitions, but also due to administrative and structural advances. One of the biggest dreams of red and black fans is getting closer to becoming reality: the construction of the club's own stadium. Flamengo made official the purchase of the Gasologista land, in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, which will house the future home of Mais Querido.
The acquisition of the Gasologista land is considered one of the greatest achievements of the current administration. The purchase makes it possible to fulfill fans' long-standing desire and promises to transform the club in financial and structural terms, enabling greater autonomy for holding matches and events. With this initiative, Flamengo is moving forward in consolidating its own stadium, something that has been discussed for years.
In addition to structural advances, Rodolfo Landim's tenure, which ends at the end of 2024, is marked by achievements both on and off the pitch. However, the club's current president should continue to play an important role at Flamengo in the coming years.
According to information from the newspaper O Globo, Rodrigo Dunshee, current general and legal vice-president of Flamengo, and likely candidate for the club's presidency, plans to announce that Rodolfo Landim will occupy the position of CEO in 2025, if he wins the elections. With this, Landim will remain directly involved in the administration of Flamengo for another three years.
During his management, Rodolfo Landim was responsible for Flamengo's significant victories, including national and international titles. In addition to sporting successes, the management stood out for its modernization initiatives and financial growth of the club, which culminated in the purchase of land for the stadium and administrative reorganization.

Flamengo continues to wait for the return of Arrascaeta, who has been sidelined since August 18th, when he suffered an injury to his left thigh. The number 14 is being monitored by the club's Medical Department and his return to the field is still uncertain for the decisive clash against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The game will take place on September 12th, at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã.
Arrascaeta has not yet started the transition phase to the field, remaining under the care of Flamengo's medical department. With less than a week to go until the match, the club is racing against time to count on the return of the Uruguayan star. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the player is in the final stage of recovery and there is an expectation that he will begin the physical transition next Monday (09).
IMPACT OF INJURIES IN THE SECOND HALF
An undisputed starter at Flamengo and frequently called up for the Uruguayan national team, Arrascaeta has faced physical problems throughout the seasons, especially in the second half, when the calendar becomes more intense. Since 2019, the midfielder has suffered 70% of his injuries after June, totaling 20 absences for Flamengo, 14 of them from that period.
In the first match of the quarter-finals against Bahia, Flamengo won 1-0 away from home, with a goal from Bruno Henrique. With this result, Rubro-Negro can even draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semifinals. The team hopes to count on Arrascaeta, but is also preparing alternatives to make up for his possible absence.
Flamengo still has some doubts for the clash, but the likely lineup has names like: Rossi, Wesley (Varela), Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar (Léo Ortiz), Allan, Gerson, Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Gabigol (Arrascaeta).

The board of Flamengo made an important decision by refusing a proposal from Rio Ave, from Portugal, to loan center forward Felipe Lima, an Under-20 player. The proposal offered by the Portuguese club was attractive from a financial point of view, guaranteeing the athlete a good salary, with the possibility of doubling the amount if he played at least 10 games for the main team, playing for at least 45 minutes in each match.
However, the red and black management, together with coach Tite, chose to keep the player in the squad. The decision was based on the assessment that Felipe Lima could be useful to the professional team of Flamengo. This understanding was reinforced by the young striker's recent call-up for the match against Bahia, and there is the expectation that he will be included again for the game against Corinthians next weekend.
FLAMENGO SECURE THE NEGOTIATION
Felipe Lima, who has stood out in the youth categories, was already observed by Flamengo's technical committee, who sees potential in the athlete to join the main squad. The decision to keep the player at the club, rather than allowing him to be loaned to European football, indicates confidence in Felipe's development and ability to contribute directly to the team in important competitions.
