In Série D, he shone even more, finding the net 10 times and becoming the club's top scorer in the history of the Brazilian Championship. Despite its good form, the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals and was unable to gain access to Series C, leaving it without a calendar until the end of the year.


With the end of the loan, Thiaguinho returned to Flamengo, but it should not be taken advantage of by Tite. Recently, the striker received two proposals from Portugal: one from Leixões in July and another from Estrela da Amadora in August. However, he refused both, opting to remain in Brazil.

In an official note released this Saturday on social media, the president of Corinthians, Augusto Melo, criticized the CBF for changing the date of the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semi-final against Flamengo. The match, initially scheduled for the 17th of October, a Thursday, was moved to the 20th, Sunday.

The games in the Series A round, which would take place on the 19th and 20th of October and involve the semi-finalists of the Copa do Brasil, will be brought forward to the 16th and 17th of October. The change came after a request from Flamengo, which was rejected by Corinthians in an official letter when consulted by the CBF.

< Finally, Augusto Melo stated in the note that the decision harms Brazilian football in general. The first leg of the semi-final against Flamengo will be next Wednesday, at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã.

Check out Corinthians' note in full:

“Sport Club Corinthians Paulista expresses its deep indignation with the decision of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to change the date of the return game of the semi-final of Brazilian Cup. Such a decision, in addition to being an affront to the previously established calendar, disrespects not only Corinthians, but also the competition as a whole.


It is unacceptable that, in a competition of such relevance, decisions are taken favoring a club to the detriment of others, especially when it has already been widely publicized that Corinthians competes in three competitions simultaneously, and any change generates serious damage to our sporting planning. Respecting the pre-stipulated schedule should be a priority for the CBF, which, unfortunately, demonstrates, once again, a lack of commitment to equity and transparency.


Corinthians cannot passively accept that changes are made to meet individual interests, putting the integrity of the competition and the performance of the teams involved at risk. Our institution had formally expressed its opposition to any modification, as detailed in the letter sent to the CBF, and the unilateral decision to accept a request from another club, without considering the negative impacts on our planning, is clear disrespect.

This type of attitude hurts the credibility of Brazilian football. Corinthians will continue to fight for football to be treated with justice and equality, without favors or external interference that compromise the integrity of the competitions.

Augusto Melo


President of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista”

The attacker Pedro suffered a torn ligament in his left knee and is expected to be sidelined for up to 10 months. In other words, Flamengo will no longer have its top scorer in 2024. The injury happened on the afternoon of this Wednesday (4), during the Brazilian team's training, in Curitiba.

According to information from the portal "Mundo Rubro -Negro", a source linked to Mengão's board of directors who confirmed the possibility of the club returning to the market in search of a free center forward, as the window has closed. However, no decision has been made.


Flamengo and other Brazilian football clubs can sign up new athletes until September 9th. However, it is possible to replace these registered athletes until the 20th. Without Pedro against Bahia and Peñarol, Fla will count on Gabigol and Carlinhos to stay alive in the Copa Conmebol Libertadores and Copa do Brasil disputes. The new signing would only debut in the next phases.


Recently, the name of Dutch striker Memphis Depay was offered to Flamengo. The information was given by journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira. However, the values ​​were out of the question for the Mais Querido board.
