This Sunday's match (8) between Flamengo and Vitória will also mark the farewell of Gabigol from Mais Querido. With his contract ending on December 31st, the striker has already would have decided not to renew with the club and will receive a party to mark his last game with Manto Sagrado. According to journalist Gilmar Ferreira, the number 99 had asked the board to give a statement to those present at Maracanã, but president Rodolfo Landim rejected the idea.
However, journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira gave another version of the story. In live held on his channel on YouTube, Mauro stated that the request happened and the possibility of Gabigol speaking has not yet been ruled out and it is possible that the attacker will speak this Sunday. MCP revealed that there is a fear among the club's management that Gabriel Barbosa will say something that could inflame the fans during an electoral period.
“Still It is possible that this will happen and the fear of the board is that Gabriel will say something against her, something embarrassing. Honestly, I hope he talks. To demonstrate maturity in words, or to immediately set the whole situation on fire. Let them understand each other. One moment you pamper yourself, another time you want to be harsh… this story is tiring”, said Mauro Cezar.
The journalist he also guaranteed that none of the candidates competing in the election for Flamengo's presidency, that of Rodrigo Dunshee, the current candidate, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, the Bap, and Maurício Gomes de Mattos (MGM), members of the opposition, intend to make great efforts to change the player's opinion and keep him in the club if they are elected.
“The candidates, I can safely say, not only the situation but the other two, as far as I know, none of the three will work like crazy to have Gabriel. They understand that he is an expensive player and based on what he offers today, it is not an interesting deal to have him at Flamengo for longer, given what he costs, and what he wants to win. It's as simple as that: Gabriel is leaving Flamengo”, concluded the journalist.
Gabigol will leave Flamengo as one of the greatest players in the club's history. Scorer of 160 goals, Gabriel is Mengão's sixth top scorer and scored decisive goals that delivered titles to Mais Querido, such as the Libertadores in 2019 and 2022. In total , the striker won 13 cups with Manto Sagrado, which will be displayed at the player's farewell party this Sunday (8) at Maracanã. Tickets for the game against Vitória are already sold out.

After recovering from an injury to his right thigh, Danilo returned to the field in Flamengo's 3-1 victory over Internacional, this Sunday (17), for the Brazilian Championship. The defender came on in the second half and, even with the Mais Querido's triumph , he recognized a mistake in the play that resulted in the opponent's goal.
"Today, first of all, it's largely my responsibility, especially due to my lack of responsiveness there. So, certainly, I should have and must have done better on that play. But it's a very high-quality defense, they're Brazilian national team-level players , and each one plays their own game," Danilo stated in an interview.
Despite the individual error, the defender highlighted the team's collective performance, emphasizing the importance of the forwards and midfielders' pressure throughout most of the match. According to him, collective effort facilitates marking and strengthens defensive consistency.
" We also have to highlight the work of the rest of the team , because the forwards and midfielders apply relentless pressure throughout almost the entire match. This makes our job much easier, too , which is basically stopping plays when the ball isn't as clear, because our forwards, I think, and midfielders press hard and give a lot of themselves in this area. So, the credit goes to the whole team," Danilo concluded.
The defender had not played since July 21, when he injured his right hamstring. Having recovered, Danilo came on in the 22nd minute of the second half, replacing Léo Ortiz . In the 47th minute, Bernabei crossed into the box, and Danilo, in his marking, was unable to prevent Borré from shooting , who scored Internacional's goal.
The Rubro-Negro coach details the reasons that led to the decision not to include the Uruguayan player in the match against Internacional and praises the healthy competition.

In the 3-1 victory over Internacional, Filipe Luís chose not to include Matías Viña among the squad. The Uruguayan full-back was left out of the match played on Sunday (17), at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. After the match, the coach explained the choice and commented on the competition for the position.
" Competition. Alex Sandro is doing very well, he's a starter for the national team. Ayrton Lucas was our best player at the Club World Cup. Honestly, leaving one of them out is difficult. All three are doing well. When you have so many players, the coach's heart breaks. Ayrton Lucas had a great performance. It's great to see the competition for the starting spot," Filipe Luís declared in a press conference.
Ayrton Lucas was named the starting left-back and remained on the field for the entire 90 minutes. The number 6 actively participated in the attacking plays, including the start of the move that resulted in Plata's goal, the Mais Querido's third of the match. Alex Sandro, also an option for the position, was on the bench.
Viña has been receiving opportunities since recovering from a serious injury. The Uruguayan caught the attention of fans with his physical strength and strong performances throughout the season , establishing himself as an important player for Mengão's left back.
Flamengo will face Internacional again on Wednesday (20), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. With Matías Viña available, the team seeks to maintain its offensive performance and guarantee qualification for the next phase of the continental tournament.
