Bahia came out angry after the defeat against Flamengo last Saturday (30), but it wasn't just because the team lost at home. During the match, three plays 'in favor of Mais Querido' were disturbing. The internet cried and the revolt echoed all the way to Tricolor, which is now taking action at the CBF against the responsible arbitration team.
Three moves were analyzed, and two of them had a direct influence on the match: the expulsion of defender Kanu and the penalty awarded to the red and black team. Football director, Cadu Santoro reinforced that they do not agree with the decisions made by the referee, Sávio Pereira Sampaio, and the VAR team in the match.
"Bahia will always be attentive and even with due explanations, it does not agree with the decisions taken. This was not the first time that we spoke out to the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation), and we hope that these mistakes don't happen again in Bahia's next games", said Santoro on the matter.
But what actually happened? When Kanu was sent off, the defender fouled Gerson and, initially, he had only received a yellow card. However, Sávio was called by the Video Referee for review and decided to give the defender a red card. On Tuesday (3), audio of conversations between the field judge and the team inside the camera booth were released. CBF Head of Arbitration, Wilson Senemem, said he agreed with the Tricolor's expulsion.
Regarding the penalty, minutes later, right-back Gilberto touched Bruno Henrique's foot during a ball dispute inside the penalty area. big area. The penalty was immediately awarded and, while the move was reviewed by the VAR, the Bahia players pointed to the screen questioning the decision, but the decision was not changed. Wilson Seneme also agreed with this position.
The third play analyzed by VAR took place in the first half, but it was not as controversial. Bruno Henrique was brought down by Yago Felipe outside the area. Sávio Pereira scored a penalty, but was warned by the video referee that the infraction had not occurred inside the area and went back.

Thiago Mendes is Vasco da Gama's new signing. Free on the market after the end of his contract with Al-Rayyan, from Qatar, the midfielder signed a contract with Cruzmaltino for two and a half seasons. The information was initially released by Venê Casagrande and confirmed by sources linked to the club . Despite not having made a recent offer, Flamengo is well aware of the name.
The midfielder was on the club's agenda on two occasions: 2021 and 2022. On both occasions, negotiations did not progress, either due to Lyon's financial demands at the time or due to a change of direction by the red-black board. Flamengo's first contact with Thiago Mendes took place in 2021.
NOVEL EXTENDED UNTIL 2025
The board led by Rodolfo Landim explored the possibility of a loan with an option to buy from Lyon. The French club, however, toughened up the negotiations and did not facilitate the release. Without success, Rubro-Negro ended up hiring Andreas Pereira. The following year, the talks resurfaced.
RIVAL TAKES OLD DESIRE FROM FLAMENGO
With Thiago Mendes' contract coming to an end, Flamengo's directors believed that it would be possible to move forward for a more affordable price. Lyon once again asked for financial compensation, frustrating the plans . The outcome was the arrival of Arturo Vidal. Now, in 2025, the story has a new chapter without Flamengo's participation.
Thiago Mendes, who is free on the market, was offered to Vasco and quickly approved by Fernando Diniz. The player is expected this Saturday (05) in Rio de Janeiro to sign a contract until the end of 2027. Vasco's move is surprising due to the timing and the player's profile. At 33 years old, the midfielder arrives with the status of a starter and reference, betting on the experience acquired in Europe and Arab football.

Flamengo secured around R$3 million with the transfer of midfielder Vinícius Souza to Wolfsburg, Germany. The German club paid 15 million euros (approximately R$95.8 million) to acquire the player from Sheffield United, England.
The amount allocated to Rubro-Negro is related to FIFA 's solidarity mechanism, which determines the division of 5% of the total value of international negotiations between the clubs that participated in the athlete's training between the ages of 12 and 23. As Flamengo had the player until he was 21, the amount to which it is entitled is 3.05%.
LINK WITH WOLFSBURG
Officially announced on Wolfsburg's social media, Vinícius Souza was called "Garoto do Ninho" , in reference to his training at Mengão's youth academy. The contract signed with the German club will be valid until 2030, consolidating the new step in the 26-year-old athlete's career.
Vinição's performance, as he is known , throughout his time in Europe was marked by defensive consistency and good positioning, which caught the attention of the Bundesliga club. The expectation is that he will assume a relevant role in the Wolves' midfield in the coming seasons.
INTERNATIONAL CAREER
Born in Padre Miguel, a neighborhood in the west zone of Rio, Vinícius Souza began his career with Mengão's under-15 team in 2014. Promoted to the main squad in 2019, he had his first opportunity in the final minutes of a match in the Campeonato Carioca. That same year, he was part of the historic squad led by Jorge Jesus, winning the Libertadores and Brasileirão titles.

Flamengo must spend around R$150 million on signings, understand
The moves are part of the board's strategy to expand Filipe Luís' options for the second half of the season

Rubro-Negro decided to act strongly in the market after the Club World Cup and is looking for names that can qualify the squad. Jorge Carrascal , a 26-year-old midfielder who plays for Dynamo Moscow, was chosen to fill a long-standing gap: the lack of a direct replacement for Arrascaeta.
Despite the difficulties imposed by the Russians, who require bank guarantees to complete the deal, Flamengo is confident that the agreement will be concluded. The offer is around 12 million euros, approximately R$76 million, without bonuses for targets. Flamengo's proposal was structured in three installments, and the negotiations are centered on providing the guarantees required by Dynamo.
NAMES IN THE WINDOW OF THE MOST LOVED ONE
The Russians are showing some rigidity on this point, but the Brazilian club believes that the obstacles will be overcome in the coming days. Internally, there is optimism about the outcome. Carrascal's staff has already received the green light to move forward with the salary terms, and the player is looking forward to returning to South America, where he gained notoriety at River Plate.
MAJOR REINFORCEMENT FOR THE RUBRO-NEGRO ATTACK
The Colombian's arrival aims to fill a clear gap in the squad. Currently, Filipe Luís relies on De La Cruz in the creative sector, but the Uruguayan has been used more as a second midfielder. Arrascaeta, with a recent history of injuries, still does not have a reliable backup. Carrascal is seen as a player capable of maintaining the technical level when the number 14 is unable to play. With good ball handling, vision of the game and intensity, the midfielder fits the profile that the coaching staff is looking for.
In parallel with the negotiations with Dynamo, Flamengo also made progress in talks with Mikey Johnston , a 25-year-old striker who belongs to West Bromwich. The player is a bet by the board to strengthen the sides of the field and increase offensive competitiveness. José Boto, football director, identifies the signing as a market opportunity, and the move has the approval of Filipe Luís.
