O Flamengofaced Bolívar last Wednesday (24) with several absences. This is because some athletes had to stay in Rio due to the high level of physical exhaustion and others because they presented a viral condition, as is the case of Léo Pereira. However, the defender has already recovered and could be a reinforcement for Tite in the classic against Botafogo, on Sunday (28).

Despite having presented a viral situation and not having traveled with the rest of the squad , Léo Pereira trains at Ninho do Urubu together with the athletes who stayed in Rio this Thursday (25). Thus, unlike the other players who faced Bolívar, Arrascaeta, Pedro, Allan, Pulgar, Ayrton Lucas and Varela carried out activities supervised by assistant coach César Sampaio and did not receive time off. >

All seven players who stayed in Rio will be able to reinforce Rubro-Negro in the classic against Botafogo, however, Everton Cebolinha is still out. Remembering that shirt 11 suffered an injury to his right calf and will be away from the field for at least another week. The expectation of the medical department is that the player will return in the clash against Bragantino, for the Brasileirão.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT MATCH

With all the athletes available, with the exception of Cebolinha, Tite begins this Friday morning (26) the preparation of the squad for the classic against Botafogo. Thus, players will only have two days to prepare.


So, Flamengoand Botafogo face each other next Sunday (28), at 11am, at Maracanã, in the fourth round of the Brasileirão. In case of victory, Mais Querido will be able to reach the top of the table again.

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.

The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.


FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN THE ELECTIONS

During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term. 

Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.


Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.

In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.


FLAMENGO HAS "WORRIES" AT THE MOMENT

The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement. 

In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.

After speeches by the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, the owner of SAF do Botafogo, John Textor, the Rubro-Negro leader continues to retort.

Textor gave an interview responding to the manager and, this Thursday (5), made a post on Instagram comparing amounts spent by the teams.

The owner of Botafogo used a post from “Portal Botafoguense”, on Instagram, in which it compares the amounts spent by Flamengo and its club in each sector.
