O Flamengo is experiencing a dilemma in attack under the command of Filipe Luís. Despite creating many opportunities, the team has faced difficulties converting these chances into goals. In 12 games with the coach, Rubro-Negro finished 199 times, but only 34% of the shots and headers ended in a goal. This aim problem has impacted the results, as was evident in the goalless draw against Fortaleza, which definitively ruled out the already remote title chances in the Brazilian Championship.
In the 12 games with Filipe Luís in charge, Flamengo scored 16 goals, reaching an average of more than one goal per match. However, the scenario changes drastically when analyzing finishing efficiency. Of the 199 attempts, only 68 were on target, while 131 kicks or headers went undirected. This represents a success rate of just 34%, highlighting the lack of precision in the offensive sector.
SHUTTS WITHOUT PRECISION ?
Per game, the Flamengo finishes on average 16 times, but only five of these attempts force the opposing goalkeeper to to work. For Filipe Luís, the challenge goes beyond creating plays and involves the need to improve his players' confidence and finishing technique. Although Flamengo continues to present solid numbers in creating opportunities, the low conversion into goals directly reflects on the results.
The goalless draw against Fortaleza, for example, there were 15 shots that did not result in a goal, despite the chances created. The coach highlights the importance of developing coolness and precision in his athletes when facing the opponent's goal. "The goal cannot be taught, but we can create resources for players to finish better. We will continue working to improve confidence and effectiveness", declared Filipe Luís after the 0-0 draw with Atlético-MG at Maracanã.
The number of failed shots became a critical problem in the Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship. Against opponents like Fortaleza, mistakes were costly, eliminating any chance of competing for the title. Despite the technical quality of the squad, Rubro-Negro was unable to translate the offensive volume into positive results. This lack of efficiency in the attack contrasts with the high expectations surrounding the team, which has renowned athletes.

Palmeiras has made progress in talks to sign Carlos Miguel, currently on his way out of Nottingham Forest, but the deal may take longer than expected. The reason is that the leaked negotiations changed the course of the latest negotiations , causing discomfort between the parties.
The situation is gaining momentum with the possibility of other clubs entering the competition. According to information from GoalBR, Flamengo and Bahia are evaluating the signing . In the case of the Rio de Janeiro club, the board has already expressed interest and is analyzing the feasibility of submitting a formal offer.
Standing at 6'4" and a standout performer in his respective competitions, former Corinthians player Carlos Miguel has become one of the most sought-after targets on the market . His profile appeals to clubs looking to bolster their defense with security and experience.
Enjoying a strong run in the Brasileirão and advancing in the Libertadores, Flamengo is already making moves behind the scenes to strengthen its squad. The board has prioritized the arrival of a new goalkeeper , especially given the confirmed departure of Matheus Cunha. The goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and will leave the club free of charge at the end of the season.
Despite their confidence in Rossi, Flamengo's board knows they need at least one more high-level goalkeeper on the roster. This time, the team wants to tap the transfer market to replace the Argentine , who has made some mistakes in recent games.
The defender continues to improve physically and should return to the field against Internacional in the Brasileirão, after a six-match absence.

Since the victory over Fluminense on July 20, Flamengo's defense has faced a challenge in the absence of Danilo. The defender has missed six consecutive games, including the Copa do Brasil round of 16, but is showing significant progress in his recovery and is expected to return to training with the squad later this week.
Despite the progress, his participation against Internacional, this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the Libertadores , is ruled out. The technical committee opts for caution, aiming to avoid the risk of new injury.
The internal expectation is that Danilo will be available for the match against Colorado, valid for the Brazilian Championship, next Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm, at Beira-Rio. If the return is confirmed, the defender's presence will bring more stability to the defensive system and allow strategic rest for Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, who have been playing without rest since his injury.
Without Danilo, the central defender duo has started all six recent games , amassing 540 minutes of unsubstituted play. Their teammate's return is seen as crucial to relieving the strain and offering coach Filipe Luís new options.
During the period without the defender, Flamengo faced crucial challenges. In addition to the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, which ended in elimination, the team played four Brasileirão matches, winning three and drawing one.
The sole decision of the continental tournament takes place on November 29, in Peru, repeating the stage of the 2019 final won by Flamengo over River Plate.
