The Flamengo agreed to sign Carlinhos, from Nova Iguaçu, last Friday (29). However, Mais Querido is being accused of being unethical, as the news was confirmed by Marcos Braz before the ball rolled for the first leg of the Carioca final. According to commentator Breiller Pires, the move can be considered "cunning".
“In a cunning move, Flamengo announced this Saturday, before the final against Nova Iguaçu, the signing of striker Carlinhos, vice-president. top scorer in the Carioca Championship and one of the main names of the Baixada Fluminense team”, says an excerpt from Breiller's column on the Terra portal.
O Mais Querido beat Nova Iguaçu 3-0. Even with the discreet performance, like his entire team, Carlinhos tried some offensive moves and made a good cross in an individual play. However, the journalist questioned the ethics of the Rubro-Negro board and stated that the announcement disturbed the opponent's environment and exposed the player unnecessarily.
BREILLER INOCENTA PALMEIRAS E FLUMINENSE
Despite accusing Flamengodue to lack of ethics, Breiller cleared Fluminense and Palmeiras. The Laranjeiras club signed striker Lelê, who was Volta Redonda's top scorer and was eliminated in the semi-final. Palmeiras signed midfielder Rômulo this season. With a signed contract, the player entered the field against alviverde in the Paulistão semi-final and presented himself two days later as a reinforcement.
In this way, the journalist understands that the agreement a month earlier with the athletes constitutes a coincidence and not a lack of ethics as the Flamengo board accuses.
“This year, in the Paulistão semi-final, Palmeiras beat Novorizontino, owned by midfielder Rômulo, announced as a reinforcement for the Brazilian team in February. The difference between the cases of Rômulo and Lelê and that of Carlinhos is that both Palmeiras and Fluminense had agreed with the players well before facing their respective clubs in decisive clashes”, he says.
CARLINHOS IS FOCUSED ON THE FINAL FROM CARIOCA
Even with the accusations against Flamengo, Carlinhos denies all the news and says he is focused on Carioca's final against Mais Querido. The striker assured that the level of concentration for the match was so high that he was not involved in the negotiations and was informed by the representatives after the positive outcome.
Even though he has recovered from his knee injury, Lucas Moura will not face Mais Querido this Saturday (13th round of the Brasileirão) as he is still following a physical schedule.

São Paulo will have an important absence in the match against Flamengo this Saturday (13), at Maracanã, at 4:30 pm. Although he was expected to return to the team , Lucas Moura will remain out of action. According to the club, the attacking midfielder is still under physical preparation care, despite being clinically recovered from a knee injury.
Lucas Moura hasn't played an official match since May 6th . Although his knee problem has been overcome, the medical department and coaching staff understand that he still needs more time to regain physical conditioning before returning to action. Therefore, his return to action for the São Paulo team will remain postponed.
In addition to the absence of the number 7, São Paulo will be without Lucas Ferreira (with hip pain), Luciano, Luiz Gustavo, and Calleri, all ruled out by the medical department. The match will also mark Hernán Crespo's return to the team , precisely against the league leaders, in the return of the competition after the Club World Cup.
The São Paulo team's likely starting lineup features significant changes. Crespo is expected to field Rafael; Arboleda, Alan Franco, and Sabino (or Ferraresi); Cédric, Alisson, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio, and Enzo Díaz; Oscar (or Juan Dinenno), and André Silva. Among the confirmed returns to the squad are Marcos Antônio, Ferreirinha, and Oscar, who have been sidelined since early June.
The match between São Paulo and Flamengo will be held at Maracanã Stadium at 4:30 p.m. this Saturday, part of the 13th round of the Brasileirão. For the Rio de Janeiro club, the match represents a chance to maintain its lead in the standings. Broadcasts will be available on free-to-air channels and streaming platforms.
Even without a guaranteed presence in the starting 11, Gabriel has been praised by the board for his commitment and commercial impact.

Signed with star status, Gabigol is still seeking regular starting positions at Cruzeiro. Unlike what he became accustomed to during his years as a star player at Flamengo, the striker is currently in a transitional phase. Even though he's not a regular in the starting eleven, he's been touted as an important player in Leonardo Jardim's project.
Pedro Junio, vice president of the Minas Gerais club, emphasized in an interview with the program Donos da Bola that the number 9 did not disappoint. According to the director, the striker has fulfilled everything agreed upon at the time of his signing, both on the field and in marketing. " He delivers everything we agreed on, both in the sporting and commercial and marketing aspects . Gabriel was a package deal we signed, and he delivers," he noted.
Since arriving at Toca da Raposa, Gabigol has started 11 matches, initially under Fernando Diniz and later under Leonardo Jardim. Following the 1-1 draw with São Paulo on April 13th, in the third round of the Brasileirão , the striker has lost his place in the starting lineup. Even so, management emphasizes that there is no dissatisfaction or bad blood behind the scenes.
" Cruzeiro's advantage is that everyone understands that Cruzeiro is the top priority. Regardless of who's playing or not," explained Pedro Junio, highlighting the positive internal atmosphere at the club and the players' maturity in accepting coaching decisions.
Despite recurring speculation that he's unhappy about not being a regular starter, Gabigol has publicly expressed his composure about this new phase. After the 2-0 victory over Vila Nova on May 1st in the Copa do Brasil , the striker addressed the issue directly.
" I'm very calm about it. I know the pressure there is , and there are a lot of people who say things without realizing it. I try to work hard, show my football skills on the field," he said. On that occasion, the striker also highlighted the welcome he received at the club and reinforced his desire to continue contributing.

Flamengo returns to the national stage this Saturday (12), after a stint at the Club World Cup, with full focus on the Brazilian Championship.

The ball rolls at 4:30 pm, at Maracanã, with broadcast on TV Globo and Premiere.
Flamengo will be without midfielder Erick Pulgar, who suffered a fractured right foot, and Pedro, who was sidelined by Filipe Luís . This will also be the first match without Gerson, who recently left the club to Zenit in Russia.
On the other side, São Paulo is undergoing a period of restructuring. After a 3-1 loss to Vasco and the departure of Luis Zubeldía , the club has decided to bring back Hernán Crespo as coach. The São Paulo team will have important reinforcements who recovered during the break: Lucas Moura, Oscar, Marcos Antônio, and Ferreirinha are available again.
