Flamengo had little time to celebrate the victory over Bahia and now needs to focus on the classic against Fluminense, this Sunday (23), at Maracanã, at 4pm, for the 11th round of the Brasileirão. Leader, Mengão arrives with high morale due to the positive results with a missing team, they want an advantage at the top and still have the chance to sink their rival even further into the bottom.
Flamengo leads the Brasileirão with 21 points, while Fluminense is experiencing a crisis. The team could open up a three to four point lead if Botafogo and Palmeiras stumble, tied with 20 points in second place. Fluminense is going through a major crisis and has just six points in last place. Fernando Diniz's team has just one win, three draws and six defeats in the competition. There have been 10 goals scored and 18 conceded so far, which represents an average of one goal scored and 1.8 goals conceded per game. No wonder the coach is under greater pressure since taking over the team in 2022.
The only victory came in the third round in the classic against Vasco. Therefore, they are from the fourth to the 10th round without winning, with four defeats and three draws. Of these four setbacks, three were in sequence in the last rounds: 1-0 for Botafogo, 2-1 for Atlético-GO and 2-0 for Cruzeiro.
If in 2023 he managed to win football to become champion of the Libertadores, Fluminense's 2024 on the field is the opposite. The team still tries to emulate the ideas of ball possession, approach and short passes from Fernando Diniz's defense, but the much lower performance increases the tone of criticism and demands for changes.
The coach, on the other hand , guarantees that the debate was part of his entire career as a coach and will not change at this moment. A scenario that makes Flamengo very favorite for the game and could make the rival's crisis, which already seems big, go to an even greater level. A defeat to Mengão, depending on how it plays out on the field, and a possible three-point disadvantage in the bottom position would certainly increase the pressure.
Fluminense's player numbers explain the team's very bad year. The top scorer is midfielder Jhon Arias, who has seven goals and is missing from the Copa América. Second top scorer is Lelê, who is injured and hasn't played since the beginning of April. This leaves Cano and John Kennedy fighting for the title and trying to take over as a goalscorer in this turbulent time. The phase of both is not good, but the red and black defense needs to pay attention. One of the two will probably start playing, or maybe even both, and the offensive plays will certainly be aimed at the athletes.
Germán Cano scored five goals in 2024, while John Kennedy has four. But it is worth highlighting that the Argentine played 2,004 minutes and the 22-year-old striker less than half: 846. On the other hand, the young man did not score in the Brasileirão.

The first women's volleyball competition is Mengão's! This Friday (27), Flamengo won the National Cup of Pro-Vôlei Clubs. Against the current Superliga champion, Bernardinho's team played 3 sets to 0 at Minas, with scores of 25-15, 25-18 and 25-17. The duel took place at Ginásio Wilson Mânica, in Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul.
The tournament featured three clubs and serves as preparation for the 2024/25 Superliga. On Wednesday (25), Flamengo beat Maringá. On Thursday (26), Minas also beat the team from Paraná. Therefore, this Friday (27th) the big decision took place, which had a packed gym.
Despite being a competition to open the season, Flamengo's victory gives a boost to the season. After all, Minas is the team to beat in Brazilian women's volleyball. Thus, in the last five Superligas, the Belo Horizonte team won four titles and one runner-up. In the squad, there are athletes who have played for the Brazilian team, such as Thaísa, Olympic champion and bronze medalist in this year's edition, in Paris.
SuperligaThe dates of the Women's Super League have not yet been announced. However, there is an expectation that the competition will start in October. In total, 12 teams will play the tournament, in a round-robin system, with the eight best qualifying for the quarter-finals.
In the last edition, after all, Flamengo was eliminated by Praia Clube in the semi-final . Therefore, the goal for 2024/25 is to reach the decision and repeat the title won in 2000/01, when Rubro-Negro beat Vasco, in a historic decision at the Ginásio do Maracanãzinho.

FIFA did not detail how many cities and stadiums will host the 2025 edition. This will be the first time that the tournament will feature 32 teams.
The Super World Cup will be held between June 15 and July 13, 2025 The competition already has 30 qualified teams, with three Brazilians among them: Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense. Brazil may have one more representative. This is because Atlético-MG and Botafogo are fighting for the last South American place in the competition — the Libertadores title gives them the place. Peñarol [if they win the Libertadores] and Olímpia [if River wins the Libertadores] are the other teams in the running.
The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.
In addition to the remaining MLS spot, which has not yet defined its representative, the other available entry belongs to South America. It is destined for the champion of the edition of 2024 of the Libertadores. If River Plate wins the title, it will be transferred to the Conmebol ranking in FIFA and would already have an owner: Olímpia-PAR.

Goalkeeper also regretted the lack of attackers who were injured

Despite an inexplicable error when trying to force a ball into Bruno Henrique, who had his back turned and almost resulted in an opponent's goal, goalkeeper Rossi ended the match fighting for the victory. In a bold act, he advanced to midfield and ventured into the opponent's area, but was unsuccessful. Flamengo drew goalless and was eliminated from the Libertadores by Peñarol at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium.
During the press conference alongside Tite, Rossi was asked if he could promise the red and black fans a title. He said no, but he also refused to give up on the Brasileirão, even with Flamengo 11 points behind the leader, Botafogo, and with only a 1% mathematical chance of winning the championship. To support his optimism, the goalkeeper recalled Botafogo's unexpected drop in performance last year.
“We have very clear objectives, because Flamengo always has to win and that's how it is. Now, we're out, but the year isn't over yet. There are more than 10 games left in the Brazilian Championship. Botafogo has a very big difference, but last year there was too. Now it's time to focus on Sunday's game. In three days we will be on the field again, we have to change our minds for the game against Athletico-PR. And then there is the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, which is very important, as we are only two games away from the final. So you have to keep working day to day. The Libertadores has already passed, but there are two competitions left for us to compete in”, stated Rossi.
The number 1 also thanked the fans for their support in both Rio de Janeiro and Uruguay, and highlighted that the situation could have It would be different if the team had been more efficient at Maracanã. Furthermore, he regretted the absence of Pedro and other important players for the team.
“For the fans, I can only thank you, firstly, for the support you gave at Maracanã in the first game. We scored early, at 13 in the first half. Afterwards, we had great dominance in both games. Today we are left with this bitter feeling, that we were unable to score a goal to take it to penalties. We even had a possibility, but we have to be self-critical and know that in the final decision we made a little mistake”, declared the goalkeeper, before completing.
“We lost Pedro, Cebola, Viña, Luiz, who are very important players for us. And this also remains in the player's mind. Because when a player sees that a teammate hurts, and hurts badly like it happened, we are also afraid of being out of the season”, he concluded.
Flamengo is now preparing to face Athletico-PR in the Brazilian Championship this Sunday (30th) at 8pm (Brasília time). The team becomes key after being eliminated in the Libertadores and needs to improve its performance to remain in the top positions and remain in the G4.
