The elections of Flamengo are approaching, and the club's backstage is buzzing. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, presidential candidate , has been the target of several accusations by José Carlos Peruano, the club's advisor. In a new attack, Peruano published a video on social media this Thursday (10), calling BAP a "weak opponent" and stating that he is not prepared to be president of Flamengo.
Check out what Peruvian said
“Hello, guys from the Peruano channel. I'm going to have to leave because I'm going to New York in ten days. Rio de Janeiro is at a very high temperature, they are nervous, even releasing official notes. I thought the opponent was stronger, but the opponent is very weak.
Wow, what a disappointment. I thought he was a strong opponent. Very weak. A flick shook the opponent. Doctor Eduardo Baptista, you are too weak to be president of Flamengo. If a flick made that noise, can you imagine the whole of Maracanã cursing you? Miss you, red-black people.”
In addition to this video, Peruano had already insulted BAP on other occasions, including using homophobic terms. The counselor also criticized Zico, the greatest idol in the club's history. Initially, Peruano indicated that he could be a candidate for president, but ended up becoming an ally of Rodrigo Dushnee, who has the support of Rodolfo Landim, current president.
In this year's election, in addition to Dushnee and BAP, other candidates have already registered for the election scheduled for December 9 , in Gávea. Among them are Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Pedro Paulo and Wallim Vasconcellos, all vying for the presidency for the next three years.

The September FIFA World Cup has ended , but the teams are already planning their next matches. Uruguay has confirmed two friendlies in October, against the Dominican Republic and Uzbekistan, both in Malaysia, which could directly impact Flamengo .
Uruguay faces the Dominican Republic on October 10th in Kuala Lumpur. Three days later, they face Uzbekistan in Malacca . These matches are part of the team's preparation for the 2026 World Cup, for which La Celeste has qualified.
Although the Brazilian soccer calendar is interrupted during the FIFA World Cup, the strain of the long trip is a concern . Players like Arrascaeta , Varela, and Matías Viña, already heavily used this season, may feel the effects of the logistics.
In the last FIFA World Cup, Marcelo Bielsa's team confirmed their place in the World Cup. They played two matches: a 3-0 victory over Peru and a 0-0 draw with Chile . Arrascaeta, Varela, and Viña were called up, but only the full-back and the defender played in the second match.
Meanwhile, Flamengo focuses on the Brasileirão. Championship leader, Filipe Luís' team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round. Championship leader, Mengão has 47 points, three more than Cruzeiro, with one game less than Raposa.
The Mengão striker is one of Ecuador's biggest names for the 2026 World Cup, but says it's time to focus on the club.

The 2026 World Cup qualifiers came to an end last Tuesday (09), and Flamengo striker Gonzalo Plata made his presence felt in the tournament with the Ecuadorian national team . Having qualified, the player highlighted that the objective now is to turn his attention to the club before thinking about the World Cup.
Flamengo's Gonzalo Plata after qualifying for the World Cup: "Focus on our clubs"
"Now all that's left is to make the most of the fact that we're going to the World Cup. Focus on our clubs before thinking about the World Cup and do things in the best way possible ," said Gonzalo Plata , after Ecuador's 1-0 victory over Argentina.
A regular in Ecuador's squad, Plata played in both matches on this FIFA World Cup . He came on in the second half of the 0-0 draw against Paraguay, playing 20 minutes. Against Argentina, he started and played until the 25th minute of the second half.
A key player in Filipe Luís's scheme, the striker has already played 32 games this season, with four goals and eight assists . Plata is competing for the starting left wing spot with Luiz Araújo, establishing himself as an attacking alternative for the red-and-black squad.
Having qualified with his national team and at the coach's disposal, Gonzalo Plata could return to the field for the Brasileirão this Sunday (14). Flamengo faces Juventude, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round. The Mais Querido leads the competition with 47 points, three more than Cruzeiro, who have played one more game.
Mengão has suspended the striker's punishment and wants to have him available for the match against Juventude.

Last Thursday (04), the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) punished Bruno Henrique with a 12-game suspension , in addition to a fine of R$60,000, placing the attacker under Article 243-A of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice.
Flamengo, however, has already filed a request for a stay of absence so that the number 27 remains available until the case is judged by the full court . Therefore, there is a possibility that he will play in the next Brasileirão match.
For now, Bruno Henrique is prevented from entering the field. If the suspension effect is not granted in time, the player will be out of the duel against Juventude , this Sunday (14). While awaiting the decision, the striker trains normally with the squad at Ninho do Urubu and participated in the activities both on Wednesday (10) and Thursday (11).
Without knowing whether or not they will have the number 27, Filipe Luís' team returns to the field on Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Juventude , at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, seeking to remain at the top of the competition.
In the first round, the Red-Blacks thrashed their opponents 6-0, their biggest victory in the match. Even so, there's a taboo to be broken : Mengão hasn't won at Alfredo Jaconi since 1997, when they managed to leave with a 1-0 lead thanks to an own goal by Rodrigo Silva.
