Practically 2 weeks after the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa de Brasil that provided a scorching Fla x Flu that ended 0-0, the President of the CBF Arbitration Commission, Wilson Seneme, addressed the controversial move that involved Ganso and Gabigol:
“By understanding the football game, if we look at it in principle, Gabriel tries to put his foot on the player's side, and not in front of where the player is. When he pulls and puts his foot to the side, coincidentally Goose's leg went to the same place. And then there is the impact, there is the stomp. Gabriel is on the move. If he could stop, we would evaluate this”
Wilson Seneme concluded as follows:
“He stepped on it, but, for me, the elements that demonstrate this action completely demonstrate an accident of work, no violent action for a red card”
The move in question took place in the 20th minute of the second half of FlaxFlu when in a ball dispute near the sideline Gabigol steps on Ganso's leg when the player is on the floor. At the time, judge Anderson Daronco awarded a foul without a card and did not receive any indication from the VAR to review the move.
The player was hired by the tricolor this year and had the opportunity to share the dressing room with the number 10 of Mengão for the Uruguayan national team

Arrascaeta has already made his mark on Flamengo 's history and has a legion of fans. However, a Fluminense striker is also an admirer of the Gávea's number 10. Agustín Canobbio , a fellow countryman and Uruguayan teammate of the Mengão star, revealed that he has watched the midfielder's games since he was a child .
I would go with my father to watch Arrascaeta's games"
In recent years, the fan had the opportunity to play alongside his idol in the Uruguayan National Team . However, Canobbio was not called up in the latest lists due to a disagreement with coach Marcelo "El Loco" Bielsa . Arrascaeta continues to be called up regularly and, in the last FIFA Date, he was injured during the match against Argentina.
"When I was a child, I would go with my father to watch Arrascaeta's games at Defensor (URU)," Canobbio said in an interview with "TNT". The Flamengo player was born in 1994, while the Fluminense athlete was born in 1998, a difference of four years.
Canobbio arrived at Fluminense at the beginning of this year, after being relegated by Athletico-PR in 2024. So far, he has played three classics wearing the rival's shirt against Flamengo , but has not yet won: there was one red-black triumph and two draws. In addition, Mais Querido won the Rio de Janeiro title precisely in the final against Tricolor . For this reason, the Uruguayan striker admitted that Mengão is "choking".
The Fla-Flu is very good. It didn't work out for us, but the experience was very good. There is a lot to improve and, during the year, it will work out. It's something that I have in my head: to win a Fla-Flu. I want to win, there is a lot of work to do”, declared Canobbio.
With that, Flamengo and Fluminense will only face each other again in the Brasileirão , after the Club World Cup , in July. At this moment, the red-black focus is on the Copa Libertadores da América . On Thursday (03), Mengão faces Deportivo Táchira (VEN), away from home, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
The midfielder's contractual situation became the subject of disagreement between the club's board and the player's staff and the influencer believes in 'frying'

Flamengo 's captain and key player on the field, Gerson is enjoying a great moment with the fans, while rumors suggest that possible internal dissatisfaction may arise due to salary issues and contract renewal , especially after controversial statements from his father and agent.
Given this scenario and speculation about millionaire offers for the Joker, journalist Paparazzo Rubro-Negro stated that Gerson's days at Mais Querido may be numbered .
I think Gerson will end up leaving Flamengo"
On his YouTube channel, "Papa" said that the feeling is that the player will leave the club after the World Cup , highlighting a farewell tone in some of the midfielder's speeches and suggesting that there is already a significant proposal on the table.
"I think Gerson will end up leaving Flamengo , you know, after the World Cup. He's getting his act together, already making it clear that he wants to come back and end his career later. The impression I have is that he already has an offer in hand, something big for Gerson, okay?", said Paparazzo.
Considered one of the best players in Brazilian football, finding a replacement for Gerson would be a huge challenge for Flamengo 's board. Paparazzo Rubro-Negro expressed concern about the possible departure of the Joker and questioned how the club would fill this gap. However, he believes that the current management is preparing for this eventuality , highlighting the search for a reserve number 10 and the well-underway signing of Jorginho .
"And we're going to make the most of every moment he has at Flamengo now, right? The only concern is whether the others who are coming will be able to handle it, but I think so. It looks like Flamengo is getting it right to sign a number 10 , right? In addition to Jorginho, who we've already brought in, thank God, everything is coming together," he declared.
In a recent interview, after Flamengo's debut in the Brasileirão – which Gerson missed due to fatigue –, his father and agent, Marcão, guaranteed that the contract renewal is underway and without complications.
"It's being resolved, as I said in previous interviews. Flamengo's board is resolving the issue , everything is fine. There are no difficulties at all," said Marcão.

Flamengo will make its debut in the Libertadores this Thursday. The opponent will be Deportivo Táchira, in Venezuela. In this sense, coach Filipe Luís used the last training session with the squad to clear up some doubts about the starting lineup against the Venezuelans. To this end, the young red-and-black coach will make a change on the wing.
Without Wesley, coach Flipe Luís will field Varela . The rest of the lineup should be similar to the one that drew with Inter last Saturday. However, Filipe Luís did not pick a team in the last training session at Ninho do Urubu and will only define the lineup this Thursday.
As the trip is combined , the players will return directly to Salvador where they will face Vitória on Sunday, the possibility of preserving some players is not ruled out. Scenario in which some names are outsiders, such as Ayrton Lucas, Allan and Cebolinha.
Flamengo's likely starting line-up: Rossi; Varela, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira, Alex Sandro (Ayrton Lucas); Pulgar, De la Cruz (Allan); Luiz Araújo, Michael (Cebolinha), Bruno Henrique and Juninho.
In addition to Wesley, the coach will also be without Ecuadorian striker Plata . According to Flamengo, the right-back and the South American player showed physical fatigue after the FIFA Date and needed to be rested.
