Bruno Henrique remains available to Filipe Luís in Flamengo's main squad, but his presence on the field has generated debates about the side effects that off-field investigations can have on the player's performance. According to commentator Casagrande, the forward is likely to be the target of provocations by opponents in competitions such as the Brasileirão, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
It is a very unusual behavior” - said Casagrande
The concern revolves around the player's emotional stability in the face of suspicions of involvement in sports betting. For Casagrande, the gaming environment can be a complicated trigger, especially if rivals opt for provocative approaches to destabilize him psychologically.
CASAGRANDE CITES HISTORICAL EXAMPLE TO WARN ABOUT RISKS
During his appearance on a sports program, Casagrande mentioned a classic example from world football to illustrate his view. “It’s not the fans’ chants that are worrying, but the way opposing players can act. I remember Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final, when he was provoked by Materazzi and ended up being sent off . Bruno Henrique could end up being the target of similar situations,” the former player assessed.
COMPARISONS DON'T STOP WITH ATHLETES
The comparison was made precisely to highlight the risk of a possible expulsion or loss of focus at decisive moments in the season. For the commentator, the pressure could affect Bruno Henrique 's performance even though he continues to be an important part of the red-black team. In addition to Bruno Henrique, other prominent names have also been mentioned in similar investigations.
Lucas Paquetá and Luiz Henrique are among the Brazilian athletes being investigated for involvement in sports betting schemes. The presence of these players in major clubs reinforces Casagrande's perplexity regarding the situation. "These are athletes who have reached a high level in their careers and receive significant salaries. It is difficult to understand why they would take risks like this. This is very unusual behavior," said the former striker.
The striker is not having his best moment with the Real Madrid shirt and the English club is offering a huge proposal that would also fill Mengão's pockets.

Vinicius Júnior, one of the best players in the world today , remains strongly identified with Flamengo, the club that revealed him in 2017. At 25 years old, the striker frequently shows his affection for the Mais Querido , feeding the fans' dream of seeing him, one day, end his career at Gávea.
In recent days, it emerged that the number 7 could transfer to Manchester United for a staggering R$1.3 billion . In this scenario, Flamengo would profit 2.5% of the amount—approximately R$32.5 million—thanks to FIFA's solidarity mechanism.
However, according to Spanish journalist Alberto Pereiro, Vini has already made his decision: he will remain at Real Madrid . The striker, who has the full support of the Merengue club, can renew his contract whenever he wishes, such is his importance to the team.
The move doesn't benefit Flamengo , which would see a huge amount of money flow into its coffers without having to make any moves. For now, the Brazilian will remain one of the Spanish giant's key players , alongside Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Federico Valverde.
Meanwhile, Flamengo maintains its lead in the Brasileirão after its victory over Mirassol and turns its attention to the Copa Libertadores . This Wednesday (13), the team led by Filipe Luís hosts Internacional at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the round of 16.
After winning the Brasileirão, Mais Querido begins a marathon of three consecutive games against Internacional, including the first and second leg of the international tournament.

Flamengo beat Mirassol 2-1 this Saturday (9), in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship, and now turns its attention to the Libertadores. Next Wednesday (13), the team faces Internacional at Maracanã, in the first match of the round of 16.
Right-back Emerson Royal, a starter in the Brasileirão victory and making his debut in the continental competition , previewed the match. "It's a very difficult competition, we know how important it is," said the Mengão player.
"It's Internacional, who also have a lot of quality, we know their quality. We have two games in a row against them, and it was more or less the same against Atlético-MG. We're going to win with me. I always like to emphasize, we're Flamengo. We're going to look for victories in both games," said the player in the mixed zone of the Maracanã.
Flamengo 's schedule includes three consecutive matches against Internacional. After the first leg of the Libertadores, the teams meet again this weekend in the Brazilian Championship. The second leg of the round of 16 concludes the sequence, with the final two games taking place in Porto Alegre.
Before resuming the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo focuses all its attention on the Libertadores. The duel against Internacional, scheduled for Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, opens the series of clashes that could define the club's future in the tournament.
After other attackers refused, the Argentine reinforced his desire to play for Mais Querido and sought release in a new meeting with the Italian board.

Flamengo has already signed full-back Emerson Royal, midfielders Saúl and Jorge Carrascal, forward Samuel Lino, and defensive midfielder Jorginho this summer. Even with these reinforcements, the board is still searching for more attacking options in the market.
After Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi 's refusals, a new target shows commitment to defend the Rio de Janeiro club: Taty Castellanos. According to information released this Sunday (10) by journalist Fabrício Lopes , from the O Dia portal and the Resenha Rubro-Negra channel, the Argentine striker remains determined to leave Lazio.
Castellanos is in direct contact with the Italian board and will meet again with Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio. The goal is to reinforce his desire for a transfer and seek immediate release.
The player's interest coincides with the strategy of football director José Boto , who has been working to facilitate the negotiation for weeks. The expectation is that the situation will be resolved in the coming days , with the possibility of his arrival at the Brazilian club as early as next week.
The striker, who joined Lazio in July 2023, has made 86 appearances for the Italian club, scoring 20 goals and providing 13 assists, according to data from the Transfermarkt portal. This record confirms his potential to strengthen Flamengo 's attacking system and raises fans' expectations for a positive outcome in the negotiations.
