Flamengo has started the season on the right foot . With exciting football and three titles already won, the mood in Gávea is one of optimism. However, for Vasco influencer Casimiro Miguel , all this positive phase usually comes accompanied by curious behavior on the part of the club.
Flamengo fans don't want the solution. Flamengo fans want the problem."
During a live on Cazé TV , the streamer commented on the Rubro-Negro's moment and said that, even when everything is going well , Flamengo itself tends to create obstacles.
“You, Flamengo’s rival, just like me, when you look at Flamengo and say, for example, this year: ‘ These guys are going to win everything. Everything is perfect ’. Something inside you says: calm down, Flamengo itself is going to find a problem ”, said Casimiro, causing laughter from the fans.
According to him, the red-black culture seems to be linked to controversy . Flamengo , in the influencer's view, lives in constant need of “drama”.
“It seems that Flamengo also needs the problem. Flamengo doesn’t like the solution . Flamengo fans don’t want the solution . Flamengo fans want the problem . Because if the week is really cool, really wonderful... It’s wrong. He wants to discuss something. If it’s good, he says: Arrascaeta is good, but do you know who was really good? The Arrascaeta of 2019. That guy was good,” the communicator defined.
If off the field Casimiro relies on the red-black self-sabotage , on the pitch Vasco, his favorite team, has not managed to disturb their rivals so far.
In three classics played for Carioca 2024, Flamengo came out on top in all of them . In the group stage, they won 2-0, with goals from Bruno Henrique and Cebolinha . In the semifinals, Rubro-Negro won 1-0 in the first leg and confirmed their place in the final by beating their rivals 2-1 at Maracanã.
The recent record is yet another sign of the solid phase of the team led by Filipe Luís, even if, as Casimiro says, “chaos” is always lurking in Gávea.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
During the press conference to present Samuel Lino, the football director was direct when speaking to Mengão fans about the signings

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
