In the match valid for the fifth round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo drew 1-1 with RB Bragantino on Saturday night (04), at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium, in Bragança Paulista-SP. The goal that equalized the score was scored by Bruno Henrique. Now, Rubro-Negro focuses its attention on the Libertadores, where it will face Palestino, in Chile.
After the confrontation, Bruno Spindel, executive director of Flamengo, made a scathing outburst against the refereeing in Rubro's games -Black from the Brazilian Championship. According to him, the only way for things to improve in Mengo's favor is to “say he's a thief” and expose his mistakes in court.
Discontent in the integrity
"We think that what is happening is an accident. One president of a club says there is robbery, there is fraud, there is manipulation, the other says there is robbery, and game after game, with the referees cornered, they harm Flamengo game after game.
What is most offensive is the lack of criteria and always against Flamengo, I can't think that this is normal there is nothing behind it. Fabrício suffered a foul at Maracanã, he didn't cancel it. Luiz Araújo suffers a penalty, nothing, and all the moves are piling up against Flamengo, the referees are cornered, a president says he is a thief, that there is fraud, that there is an assault... how are the referees going to work like that? against Flamengo and who shouts the most. And those who say that there is robbery, that there is assault, that there is hell, they are the ones who benefit. Are we going to have to say that there is also theft, that there is manipulation? We're going to have to say this too to start respecting Flamengo. Is this what has to be done? The CBF needs to clarify, because nothing happens. Whoever says there's a robbery, there's a robbery, there's hell, nothing happens. And the referee is completely cornered in every game he plays against Flamengo. And what happens is that whoever doesn't complain, whoever doesn't scream, whoever doesn't say there's a robbery, whoever doesn't say there's an assault, is harmed, as Flamengo already was in two games.
Today, a Expulsion at the start of the game would change everything. Afterwards, if you want to say that he got it right, he had to have given Luiz Araújo the penalty. If he was right to cancel the expulsion, he should have canceled Fabrício Bruno's move there and Botafogo's goal there at Maracanã, when Flamengo was better in the game, trying to equalize, is absurd. What is happening is absurd. They can't understand how the CBF didn't take action and everyone says what they want, they say there's assault, robbery in arbitration, I think we're going to have to start saying the same thing too, we're going to have to put pressure refereeing in the same way."
Referee errors against Flamengo
In the match against Red Bull Bragantino, two moves were crucial for Flamengo. In the first half, the referee reversed Luan Cândido's expulsion, citing De La Cruz's foul at the beginning of the play. In the second half, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo suffered infractions inside the area. and the whistler was not even called by VAR.
The player was unable to perform as expected at Mengão after his signing and the Galo coach is a fan of the athlete's football.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .
Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
