The year 2023 has been marked by the rise of defender Léo Pereira at Flamengo. At 27 years old, the red and black number 4 is going through a moment of prominence, contributing significantly to the team's performance in the final stretch of the Brasileirão season. With impressive statistics, the defender has stood out not only for his solidity in defense, but also for his contribution in the offensive sector.
According to the numbers provided by 'SofaScore', Léo Pereira presents statistics that prove his performance above the average for a defender. To date, the player has played 23 games in the Brasileirão, scoring three goals and providing one assist to his teammates. However, what really draws attention are his passing indicators, long passes, aerial duels and tackles.
In terms of pass accuracy, Léo Pereira achieves an impressive 90% mark, which shows his ability to maintain possession of the ball and starting plays from the defense. Furthermore, the defender has a 66% success rate on long passes, demonstrating his ability to make precise throws and surprise opponents. Another notable aspect is his effectiveness in aerial duels, where he won 72% of contests, becoming a valuable asset in defensive and offensive set pieces. Furthermore, Léo Pereira has already recovered an impressive 135 balls during the season and made 36 successful tackles. These numbers attest to his versatility and importance both in the defensive phase and in the construction of the game.
It is important to highlight that, although Flamengo has conceded 31 goals in 28 rounds, Léo Pereira stands out individually in the team. At the beginning of the season, alongside Fabrício Bruno, the defender often faced challenges due to the team's defensive disorganization under the command of Jorge Sampaoli. However, since Tite's arrival at the helm of Flamengo, the situation appears to have changed, with the team remaining undefeated in the last two matches. It is important to mention that Léo Pereira has participated in only one game under Tite's leadership so far.
Léo Pereira's performance at Flamengo in 2023 not only reinforces his reputation as one of the main defenders in Brazilian football, but it also offers hope to red and black fans of a promising future for the team. His ability in defense, his offensive contribution and his tactical versatility make him a valuable player and an essential asset for Flamengo's success in the final stretch of this season.

Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, signed a sponsorship contract with Mizuno, becoming the new ambassador for the Japanese brand. After more than a decade with Nike, the Flamengo striker signed a six-year agreement with Mizuno. According to journalist Carolina Alberti, from UOL, Gabigol is the first Brazilian athlete to form a partnership with the company.
Mizuno's general manager, Rogério Barenco, explained the reasons behind choosing Gabigol to represent the brand, highlighting the visibility and striking personality of the number 99, both on and off the field. The player himself announced the new sponsorship on his Instagram profile.
“We found in Gabriel this issue of determination, of the search for excellence. We understand that he is an athlete who brings these values. Our slogan within Mizuno is reach beyond, and Gabriel certainly brings us this value”, said the manager.
“In addition to having this great strength within from the field, he also has a lot of strength off the field. […] Gabriel is a very authentic guy, he has his own style, and his influence transcends football. People are seeing him on his social media, how he dresses, how he behaves. We will also be working on him using Mizuno on a daily basis”, continued Rogério.
Gabigol gave tips about the new agreement with MizunoBefore the official announcement, Gabigol had already raised speculation by posting enigmatic content on social media, with some publications making reference to Japan. These posts fueled rumors of a possible agreement with an Asian brand.
Barenco also commented on the great repercussion of the publications by the red-and-black idol, highlighting the positive impact on the Japanese brand.
“That’s exactly the noise we want to have. And I think this is one of the things that most led us to close this contract with him. The people, the fans, the football community, journalists, everyone watching what Gabriel is doing. He draws the spotlight to him. And we are happy with the repercussion”, said the brand representative.

Rafinha Alcântara, currently without a club since ending his contract with Al-Arabi, from Qatar, in July, made it clear that he has a great connection with Flamengo, even though he has never played in Brazilian football. In an interview with the program Que Partidazo, in 2019, the midfielder, who built his career internationally, revealed that he was a long-time fan of Mais Querido.
During the interview, the 31-year-old player, son of four-time champion Mazinho, recalled his career in European football, where he played for big clubs, such as Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. But what caught the attention of Mengão fans was his confession that he dreams of one day wearing the CRF shirt.
“I do think about playing for Flamengo. Everyone knows that I'm a big fan and supporter of the club. I followed and was very happy with the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles. It’s a dream to wear the Flamengo shirt”, said Rafinha Alcântara, generating euphoria among the red and black fans.
After his public statement, Flamengo's board of directors even investigated the situation of the player, who at the time was still linked to European football and had no intention of returning to Brazil. Now, without a club and free on the market, Rafinha can arrive at the Rio club without transfer costs, but Mengão's directors do not seem to have the athlete as a priority at the moment.
Still, there is speculation that Rafinha Alcântara could be made official at Gávea for the 2025 season, depending on changes in the squad and technical committee, which is currently led by Tite.
Rafinha Alcântara began his career in Barcelona's youth teams, where he played until being promoted to the professional squad. Over the years, he has spent time at clubs such as Celta de Vigo, Inter Milan, Real Sociedad, as well as Paris Saint-Germain, where he played alongside Neymar. His last club was Al-Arabi, in Qatar, where he played 40 matches, scored nine goals and provided 10 assists.
