Bruno Henrique is one of the oldest players on the Flamengo squad. Since 2019 at the club, the striker has seen many arrivals and departures of Mais Querido players. In an interview with ‘FlaTV’, the number 27 revealed the feeling he had when a teammate left Rubro-Negro.

“Michael is a great friend. He played for Goiás, clubs we have a lot of affection for. When he (Michael) left, I missed his daily life here. We always kept in touch (…) We always maintained this friendship even from afar, we always watched his games too. He's a guy who I have great affection for,” said Bruno Henrique.

Michael and Bruno Henrique acted together in Flamengo for two seasons. During this period, both participated in victorious campaigns with Manto Sagrado, and helped bring titles to Mais Querido, including a Brasileirão (2020), a Recopa Sul-Americana (2020), two Brazilian Super Cups (2020 and 2021) and two State Championships (2020 and 2021).

MICHAEL BACK TO FLAMENGO

After two seasons playing for Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, 'Robozinho ' returned to red and black. In the mid-year transfer window, Michael was the first reinforcement announced by Mais Querido. Upon his return, the new number 30 was a starter and scored a goal on his debut in Flamengo's 2-1 victory against Red Bull Bragantino, at Maracanã.

In the confrontation with Bahia, last Wednesday- fair (28), Michael started as an option on the reserve bench. During the second half, the attacker came on, however, he soon had to leave the field due to a thigh injury. The athlete had to go to the locker room carried by members of the club's technical committee. 'Robozinho' is expected to be out for two months because of the injury and will not be registered for the Libertadores quarterfinals.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

While Michael recovers from the injury, Bruno Henrique is available to coach Tite for Flamengo's next commitment in the season. On Sunday (01), Mais Querido visits Corinthians, in Itaquera, for the 25th round of the Brasileirão.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
