This past Sunday (6), Bruno Henrique was once again decisive for Flamengo, scoring the winning goal against Vitória and giving the first three points to the Mais Querido in the Brasileirão. Thus, presenter Neto surrendered to the striker, asking for the number 27 in the Brazilian National Team.
Neto questioned the call-up of names like Matheus Cunha and João Pedro, citing the more than 100 goals that Bruno Henrique has with the Manto Sagrado , as a way of deserving to wear the yellow jersey.
He's always been playing a lot...
" Bruno Henrique, by the way, is not called up for the national team. Who is called up? João Pedro, Matheus Cunha. I don't even know who the guys are, I don't even know where they play. Now, Bruno Henrique can't be called up for the national team, because then... I don't know why. I don't know why Bruno Henrique can't be called up for the national team. He's always been playing really well . He has 101 goals for Flamengo ," said Neto.
The presenter also used the term "marked cards" to point out the reason for not calling up Bruno Henrique , who has stood out in Brazilian football since 2019.
" Not even being called up to the national team is absurd, right? Not even on the list, right? That's a rigged card, right? ", Neto said. It's worth remembering that Bruno Henrique was on Dorival Júnior's pre-list for the last FIFA date, but ended up not being called up.
Now, with Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo is already focusing on the next decision of the week. That's because, Mais Querido returns to the field this Wednesday (9), in a clash against Central Córdoba, for the second round of the Libertadores, at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.
