In a recent statement to the press, Flamengo's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, expressed his concern about the lack of equality in the Brazilian Championship. According to Braz, the Rio club could face absences in up to nine rounds of the tournament due to the Copa América, which, according to him, puts the team in an unfavorable situation compared to other leagues around the world. Braz highlighted the peculiarity of the Brazilian situation in relation to the holding of international competitions and its impact on national clubs.
MARCOS BRAZ CRITICIZES INEQUALITY IN THE BRASILEIRÃO
For him, the absence of the main players during nine rounds is a significant obstacle for the Flamengo, which invests in talent and sees its competitiveness compromised due to the lack of equality. Marcos Braz's criticism highlights a recurring issue in Brazilian football: the inequality of conditions between clubs, whether due to disparity in financial resources or structural issues. The fact that Flamengo is penalized for having a qualified squad brings up debates about the need for reforms in the calendar and organization of national competitions.
In addition to the sporting aspect, the absence of the main players may have < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/flamengo-mantem-hegemonia-nos-classicos-na-era-tite" target="_blank">financial consequences for Flamengo. The loss of points during the nine rounds in question can affect not only the club's position in the Brasileirão table, but also its revenue from prizes and television quotas, highlighting the challenges faced by Brazilian clubs in a globalized competitive environment.
Marcos Braz's statements not only reflect Flamengo's immediate concern with the Brasileirão, but also raise questions about the future of Brazilian football. Given the need to balance competition and promote greater equality of conditions between clubs, it is essential that measures are adopted that take into account both the sporting and economic interests of those involved.

Flamengo opened the scoring against Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the Brazilian Championship. Despite controlling possession, the team had not yet created clear chances until a play on the left changed the course of the first half.
Galvão Bueno on Saúl's assist in the Juventude vs Flamengo match: "He doesn't make a cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta's head"
Samuel Lino accelerated down the left wing and found space to cross into the box. Spaniard Saúl Ñíguez, with great technique, delivered a precise pass to Arrascaeta's head , who rose through the opposing defense and finished firmly: 1-0 to Flamengo .
During the Prime Video broadcast, the commentator was full of praise for the play and, especially, for the Spanish midfielder: "All it takes is one space for this Flamengo team to be unmarked, and this happens. And this guy, Saúl, knows how to play football! He doesn't just cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta, who times the ball perfectly and gets between the defenders to score," extolled Galvão Bueno.
After the 2-0 win, Filipe Luís stated in a press conference that Saúl's performance could be "the best of his career." The Spaniard, however, disagreed and reflected on his experience in Brazil.
"I don't think so. I've had some really good moments in terms of everything, but right now I feel really good mentally . I'm lucky to have my family with me, accompanying me on this adventure. I know it's not easy for them, because I go out to train, spend time with my teammates, and enjoy what I do, but for those who are by our side, it's different. It's not easy to leave our country or any place. They do it for us, and I'm very grateful for that," said the number 8.

The final stretch of preparation for the World Cup is approaching. With the qualifiers over , the Brazilian national team will now focus solely on friendlies until the final squad is named . Some certainties are already beginning to take shape in Carlo Ancelotti's mind, as he has secured key players for the World Cup.
Ancelotti on Vini Jr's place at the World Cup: "If he's okay, yes"
In an interview with ESPN, the Italian coach didn't hesitate when talking about the Real Madrid duo: "A guaranteed spot? If he's healthy, yes ( Vini will go to the World Cup). He has to be at his best. (Rodrygo) too . If he's at his best, Rodrygo is a very good player. You can't talk to me about Rodrygo and Vini. I won Champions Leagues with them," Ancelotti stated.
Another name that stands out is Estêvão, formerly of Palmeiras and now at Chelsea. The coach highlighted the young man's personality and his quick adaptation to the Premier League: "I really like Estêvão, he has character, and he's started well. Not only for this World Cup, but he will be very important for the future of the national team, " he assessed.
Endrick, however, is experiencing a different scenario. Ancelotti knows the striker well from his Real Madrid days, but admits that the fierce competition has hindered his development: "Well, Endrick is like Estêvão. He's a great talent. I think Estêvão was lucky. The problem with young players who go to Europe is that they have a leading role here, but not much of a leading role there . I coached Endrick for a year and really liked him as a person, as a professional," he explained.
Until the final call-up, the team will play six friendlies. The first two will be played in October in Asia:
