O Flamengo will play at Barradão against Vitória next Wednesday (24), a match that hasn't happened in six years. The last time Rubro-Negro played a match there was in 2018. This is due to the fact that Vitória was relegated that year, returning to the elite of Brazilian football now, in 2024.
In that game , valid for the first round of the Brasileirão 2018, Lucas Paquetá found the opponent's net 16 seconds into the first half, after receiving a pass from Vinicius Jr. To this day, this is the fastest goal in Flamengo's history in the competition. The match ended with a score of 2-2. The person who scored Rubro-Negro's second goal was Réver, in the 27th minute of the second stage.
The last time Flamengo played in the Barradao, the team was completely different. Nowadays no one plays for Rubro-Negro anymore, not even the players who stayed on the bench. Check out the team that entered the field in that 2-2 under the command of coach Maurício Barbieri:
Diego Alves; Rodinei, Juan, Réver and Renê; Cuéllar, Diego Ribas and Lucas Paquetá (Geuvânio); Everton Ribeiro, Vini Jr (Pará) and Henrique Dourado (Arão).
In addition to the historic goal, this match is also marked by Éverton Ribeiro's first expulsion at Flamengo. During his seven years wearing the Sacred Mantle, the former red-and-black captain only received two red cards. The second was against Chapecoense, in 2021.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.

Flamengo's number 14, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, is on the rise in the Brazilian Championship. The second highest foreign scorer in the history of the competition, the Uruguayan has directly participated in all of Flamengo's goals since the return of the Copa América. In the last three games, he was involved in six goals, being crucial in the matches against Criciúma at Mané Garrincha, Vitória at Barradão and Atlético-GO at Maracanã.
As soon as he returned to Flamengo, Arrascaeta found a team that, despite absences due to FIFA Data, he managed to maintain a satisfactory performance. However, the team came from two negative results at home: a draw against Cuiabá and a defeat against Fortaleza. The Uruguayan's return to the team was, therefore, a relief and an injection of encouragement for the team and the fans.
FLAMENGO WILL GO TOOTH AND NAIL TO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS
In Brasília, in match against Criciúma, Arrascaetawas instrumental in the 2-1 comeback. Pedro equalized and made the pass that resulted in the penalty conceded by Cebolinha. Arrascaeta himself conceded another penalty, which was missed by Pedro, but his influence on the game was undeniable.
The Uruguayan's performance didn't stop there. Against Vitória at Barradão, once again, Arrascaeta was decisive, directly participating in the goals that guaranteed Flamengo. His vision of the game, passing accuracy and skill on the field made all the difference, showing why he is one of the team's main players.
