The Carioca 2025 Championship started quite differently this season. Unlike the last editions, the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (Ferj) has decided to implement VAR in all 78 matches of the competition. The use of technology throughout the competition, starting in the first round and going to the final, generated an operating cost of $ 1.8 million . But there was 'little use' in the games played. And in just three technology had to actually come into action: vasco x Nova Iguaçu (penalty scored in the field and canceled after review), Botafogo x Volta Redonda (Botafogo goal Given in the field and annulled by VAR) and at href = "http://x.com/flamengo" target = "_ blank"> Flamengo x bangu , an attack bid From Bangu where the referee did not give the penalty, was called by VAR, but upheld his field decision.
in interview To ESPN, Jorge Rabello, director of the Rio Federation Arbitration Department, explained this change and praised the way video referees are working in Carioca. The leader stated that VAR will only be used to reverse clear errors. In addition, Rabello poked the Brasileirão, a competition that, according to him, the var one beeps the game. Style = "Border: 1px Solid RGB (197, 0, 24);"> "The problem in VAR in Brazil is that the quality of instruction is bad. It is important to note that we have the orientation guidelines here Var, approved by the clubs in Arbitral. And everything we said to the clubs we would do are doing ”.
“VAR will only take action to correct a clear and obvious mistake. Var whistles the game ", says Jorge Rabello, director of the Rio Federation Arbitration Department. p>

The inclusion of technology in the 2025 State Games was accompanied by some important changes. The main one was in the thickness of the impediment line. He jumped from 6cm to 12cm, increasing the margin of legality of attack bids.
In addition , the VAR monitor itself changed position. Ferj decided to take the cabin that is traditionally beside the seats and placed it on the opposite sideline. Another change is on the timer. The game time is automatically stopped from the moment the referee goes to the monitor to give a game situation. /P>

This renewal has made the average age of arbitration fall from 38.5 years in last year's state to just over 31 years in the current edition.
"Renewal work must always exist. The only place in the world where the referee has a technician is Rio de Janeiro. He is there not to teach the referee how to whistle, because it learns in the course. eventual non -uniform behaviors in relation to mobility, agility, field guidelines ”. Style = "Border: 1px Solid RGB (197, 0, 24);"> “We know that we are entering the classic phase, and I can guarantee that these young referees are ready for this moment.

Last Thursday (2), Filipe Luís completed one year in charge of Flamengo. The date coincided with the 0-0 draw against Cruzeiro, in the Brasileirão. Since taking command in October last year, the former full-back received valuable advice from Zico , the greatest idol in the history of the red-black team.
Zico to Filipe Luís when he took over Flamengo: "you can't think like a player"
Quintino's Galinho revealed the content of the conversation he had with the then-rookie coach, emphasizing the importance of shifting perspectives from player to manager: "Filipe, now you have to understand this: you can't think like a player. You have to think like a manager ," the idol began.
You'll discover who your friends are when you have to make difficult decisions. Based on your personality, I know you'll always choose the best. You can't have friendships from the past. That's when you'll see who truly wants to help you ," Zico said.
The idol also praised Filipe Luís's work during his first year as coach: "When he took over Flamengo , we talked a lot. He has a very clear vision of how to play and understands the style the fans like. Sometimes it's not always possible to apply it, but his philosophy is geared towards that . I'm very pleased with what he's been doing. It's natural to make mistakes here and get things right; it's part of the game," Zico told Romário TV.
In his one year in charge, Filipe Luís won three titles: the Copa do Brasil, the Supercopa do Brasil, and the Campeonato Carioca. In total, he led the team in 71 matches, recording 46 wins, 18 draws, and only 7 losses .

This Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo has an important challenge in the fight for the leadership of the Brazilian Championship. The Most Beloved faces Bahia , at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the competition. Despite the opponent being the third best home team in the tournament, the historical record and tactical reading indicate good paths for Filipe Luís' team to leave Salvador with the three points.
Coach Filipe Luís should send onto the field a Flamengo team with: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Ayrton Lucas; De La Cruz (Allan), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha) and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).
On the other side, Bahia , led by Rogério Ceni, faces a series of absences, 13 in total, and will need to find alternatives to form the team . The likely lineup has: Ronaldo; Gilberto, David Duarte (Fredi), Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (Michel Araujo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.
The match between Bahia and Flamengo will be played this Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm, at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador . The match will be broadcast exclusively by Premiere (pay-per-view). The referee will be Rodrigo Lima (PE).
Flamengo can rely on a largely favorable history in this match. Playing at Fonte Nova has been a positive experience for Flamengo : since 2006, in 11 matches hosted by Bahia, Flamengo has won six (55%), drawn two, and lost three.
In recent matches, their dominance is even clearer: five wins, one draw, and only one loss in their last seven games . This record reinforces the Rio de Janeiro team's optimism for another decisive round in their quest for the Brasileirão title.
The player lost his place under coach Filipe Luís and the rise of Ayrton Lucas to Alex Sandro's immediate reserve in the position

Left-back Matías Viña has been on a tear at Flamengo in recent weeks. With the experienced Alex Sandro a regular starter, the Uruguayan has lost his place in the squad rotation and seen his playing time decrease. Before that, Viña was already competing directly with Ayrton Lucas for the position , but a recent injury has only made the competition worse.
Behind the scenes, the player's name was mentioned in speculation about possible departures in the next transfer window. However, the situation has changed , and an internal shake-up could ensure his continued presence at the club .
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the trend within Gávea is for Alex Sandro to play primarily as a center-back , once again opening up space for Viña and Ayrton Lucas at left-back. With this change, the Uruguayan should once again be used more by Filipe Luís, especially in games that require greater defensive solidity. Therefore, the Uruguayan is unlikely to be traded and will remain in the red-and-black squad for the remainder of the season.
Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia, at Arena Fonte Nova, in a duel valid for the 27th round of the Brasileirão . The team led by Filipe Luís seeks to maintain the leadership of the competition and increase the advantage over direct competitors.
Flamengo currently sits first in the Brazilian Championship with 55 points, followed by Palmeiras (52 points), Cruzeiro (51) and Botafogo (43). A victory away from home in Salvador would be another important step in the fight for the Série A title.
