Espérance, Tunisia's representative at the 2025 Club World Cup, will have a Brazilian in excellent form as its main bet for the competition. This is midfielder Yan Sasse, a former player for Coritiba and Vasco , who will be one of the team's leaders in the tournament. The African team is in Group D, alongside Chelsea and Flamengo, an opponent that has generated the greatest expectations for the player.
Espérance midfielder talks about Flamengo: "We know how difficult it is"
In an interview with Lance!, the Brazilian revealed that he has been following the performance of the Rio de Janeiro club, praised the strength of the squad and commented on his team's preparation for the match. " I have watched some games when the schedule allows . We know how difficult it is, Flamengo is currently number one in Brazil. There is little information about them abroad, but our plan is to put into practice everything we have worked on to get points," said the midfielder.
With 15 goals scored and two assists this season, Yan Sasse arrives at the Club World Cup as one of Espérance's great hopes. The 27-year-old Brazilian is seen as a central player in the Tunisian team's attacking system, which will try to upset two favorites for the world title: Chelsea, from England, and Mais Querido, from Brazil.
When asked about the most anticipated match of the group stage, the player did not hesitate in choosing: “ Without a doubt, the most special game will be against Flamengo ”, he said, demonstrating extra motivation to face the club that currently dominates Brazilian football.
Yan Sasse cautiously adopted a speech focused on performance game by game. According to him, the debut will play a decisive role in Espérance's performance throughout the group stage of the World Cup. " What we have been saying here is that everything starts in the first game . If we win, we can dream bigger. If we lose, it gets complicated. A draw still keeps hope alive. So we will go all out from the start", assessed the Brazilian.
Espérance's first match will be against Mengão, in a duel that promises to be both emotionally and technically appealing. The Tunisian club is looking to make history in the new Club World Cup format , which will be played in the United States.

Real Madrid had a spectacular performance from Kylian Mbappé and thrashed Kairat, from Kazakhstan, 5-0, this Tuesday (30), in the second round of the Champions League group stage, in Almaty. The Frenchman scored a hat-trick, reaching five goals in the competition and taking over the Champions League's top scorer.
Besides the Frenchman, Camavinga and Brahim also found the net, completing the Spanish team's thrashing. With the victory, Real Madrid now has six points from two rounds , provisionally taking the lead in the group, while Kairat remains pointless and sits last.
Vini Jr. started the match as Real Madrid's Champions League captain, but had a lackluster performance and missed a clear chance in the first half. The Brazilian gave way to Rodrygo midway through the second half , while Mbappé led the attack.
The Frenchman not only scored three goals, but also produced some impressive plays, including a flick and a backheel pass that almost resulted in a goal for Vini Jr. With Tuesday's three goals, Mbappé reached the 60-goal mark in Champions League history, becoming the competition's sixth-highest scorer.
Flamengo's next match will be this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã, against Cruzeiro . The match, valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão Betano, is considered decisive as it pits the top two teams in the table against each other.

Santos is already planning reinforcements for the 2026 season, with Flamengo's Everton Cebolinha among the names being considered. According to Bolavip Brasil, the striker was introduced to coach Paulo Vojvoda , who approved the possibility of a move for the player.
Other Brazilian clubs are also monitoring the winger's situation, including Grêmio and Atlético-MG , who are emerging as potential competitors in the dispute for the athlete who has not been getting many opportunities under coach Filipe Luís.
Signed by Flamengo in 2022, Everton Cebolinha hasn't found good opportunities with the team and isn't seen as a regular starter . Mengão's number 11 has even expressed interest in returning to Grêmio, a club he holds dear.
“ It's been five years since I left Grêmio, but my love and affection for the club remain the same ,” said Cebolinha in an interview with Rádio Imortal, recalling that he was approached by the Rio Grande do Sul club shortly after his arrival at Benfica, six months later.
While his future is being monitored by other clubs, Everton Cebolinha prepares for his next match with Flamengo . In the next round of the Brasileirão Betano, the Red-Blacks face Cruzeiro at Maracanã in a head-to-head match for the lead. The Rio de Janeiro team currently has 54 points and is looking to maintain its lead at the top of the table.
Despite interest from teams, the Mais Querido's jewel has a high termination fee and Rubro-Negro may not release the player in the next transfer window.

Flamengo's promising young striker Wallace Yan has caught the attention of two Premier League clubs: Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to Sport Witness , both have expressed interest in signing the player, but Flamengo has yet to decide whether it will negotiate with the red-and-black star in the next transfer window.
According to the publication, Crystal Palace appears to have an advantage over Wolverhampton in the attempt to sign him , but there is no confirmation that Rubro-Negro will give up on the athlete in January, despite the few recent opportunities.
Wallace Yan recently renewed his contract with Flamengo, resulting in a salary increase and an increased release clause. GE reports that the striker's contract is €60 million, equivalent to approximately R$375 million at the current exchange rate. This amount makes negotiations complex, even with interest from European clubs.
The player's most brilliant moment for the club was during the Club World Cup , including scoring the goals against Chelsea in a 3-1 victory over the Blues. Since then, he has lost his place in Filipe Luís's squad.
While Wallace Yan's future is being monitored internationally, Flamengo is focusing on the Brasileirão championship. The Rio de Janeiro team's next match will be against Cruzeiro, on Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm , at Maracanã, for the 25th round of Série A. The match is considered decisive, as it pits the top two teams in the competition against each other, with Flamengo leading with 54 points.
