The 2019 generation is very close to the end in Flamengo. With Gabigol about to say goodbye to the club, Gerson and Arrascaeta are the only representatives of the Libertadores champion team. Even though they were marked in history, several of them saw their relationship deteriorate with the board in the final stretch.
Only those who retired left without a soap opera. Diego Alves' case was practically the same as Gabigol's. Bruno Spindel and the player's agents reached an agreement, with a counter-proposal accepted. But the values also clashed with President Rodolfo Landim. The driving irritated the athlete's side.
Rafinha's departure was also turbulent. In addition to friction in the relationship in the final stretch, the way the player negotiated with Olympiacos (GRE) did not please the board. A year later, he decided to return to Brazil, Braz and Spindel made a proposal, he made a counter-proposal and again the business ended up in Landim's hands.
With Everton Ribeiro and Rodrigo Caio there was no agreement. The defender was already thinking about leaving due to the lack of space and understanding that the cycle had ended. The club didn't even offer a new contract as it would wait until the end of the year to do so. With the former number 7 shirt, Fla took a while to actually start negotiations and was irreducible until the end. The long waiting time was irritating and the midfielder transferred to Bahia.
Bruno Henrique was the only one to renew, but it took a while to reach an agreement. This stance of uncertainty brought other clubs closer together — such as Palmeiras — and generated wear and tear, but the weight of identification was greater.
From the starting team in that Libertadores final, Diego Ribas and Filipe Luís retired. The former full-back is now an employee of the club and trains the under-20s. The former midfielder will be an ambassador for a school project in the United States. Pablo Marí, Willian Arão and Gerson were sold, but the "Joker" later returned.
Even with Jorge Jesus, the end was delicate, but on the coach's part. After renewing and putting together the plan for 2020, he decided to leave Flamengo, who did not like the way the situation was handled. There were several moments when the relationship could be resumed, but the circumstances and Landim's feelings towards him made the process difficult.
Problems aside, friendship remains
< All of them, eventually, maintained a good relationship with Flamengo. Whether with some board members, players or employees. Despite the problems, they are well received whenever they meet the red and black. Most of them won a game as a farewell to the fans and Gabigol now also hopes to be honored, even in front of the scene.

Before the duel for the continental competition, the team led by Filipe Luís has a commitment for the Brazilian Championship . On Saturday (9), Flamengo receives Mirassol, at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of Serie A.
Leão goes to Maracanã to face Mengão defending a long period of invincibility and being able to enter the G4 of the Brasileirão
08 Ago 2025 | 19:00 |
Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro arrives at the clash after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil, with the mission of winning to maintain the leadership of the competition. On the other side, they will have an opponent motivated by a campaign above all expectations .
Flamengo has 37 points, the same number as Cruzeiro, but leads on goal difference (24 to 19) and still has a game in hand over the Minas Gerais team. A victory at Maracanã will guarantee the Rio de Janeiro club the top of the table at the end of the first round .
Mirassol, meanwhile, is the big revelation in this Série A. In its debut season, the São Paulo team sits fifth with 28 points— the result of seven wins, seven draws, and only two losses in 16 matches . Interestingly, it's the team with the fewest losses in the championship, along with Flamengo . With a victory, the newcomer could enter the top four of the competition.
If Flamengo wins this Saturday, it will end Mirassol's three-month unbeaten streak. The São Paulo team's last loss was to Red Bull Bragantino on May 5th . Since then, Rafael Guanaes's team has won six and drawn three, with an impressive 77% success rate.
Initial projections pointed to a relegation battle, due to an experienced squad, an average age over 29, and several well-known names, such as midfielder Gabriel, formerly of Flamengo . However, the team's performance in the first round exceeded expectations: third-best attack (27 goals) and sixth-best defense (16 conceded), in addition to good results against more popular opponents.
Despite this, the strategy against Flamengo should follow the usual visiting team strategy at Maracanã: a defensive posture, deep lines, and a reliance on counterattacks . Flamengo, in turn, should control possession and look for spaces to create the chances that will secure the victory.
