After a Portuguese journalist stated that the Leixões, club from the 2nd division of Portugal received several investments from Flamengo, the European club stated that this did not happen and that Rubro-Negro was like a politician: "He promised a lot and did little", said a source linked to Leixões to journalist Venê Casagrande from SBT.
In video posted on YouTube, Venê says he got in touch with a person who works at the Portuguese club, who says a different version than that given by journalist Pedro Felipe Maia.
"In the agreement we had, Flamengo would not put 1 real. It gave the name and we would do professional management to put Leixões in the fight for the "Euro Cup", just with the name and the partners that would come with us because it was Flamengo. He was like a politician, he promised a lot and did little", a source from Portugal told the Brazilian journalist.

After Bap's appointment as Flamengo's new president, a profile on the social network "X", questioned what the partnership between Rubro-Negro and Leixões would look like and posted the video of the interview with Portuguese journalist Pedro Felipe Maia, stating that the Portuguese club received several investments from Flamengo.

"Everything must be carefully investigated to verify the veracity and legality of the acts carried out. The Statute and the Law will be complied with and any responsibilities will be attributed. In case of damage to the club, the necessary reparations will be pursued by the club. Never driven by persecution or revenge, but rather by the fiduciary obligation of any manager," said Pracownik.
Imperador had a good time in Italy, but he doesn't hide that the decision to leave Mengão was a wrong one on his part.

A longtime Flamengo idol, Adriano Imperador made history in 2009 by leading the team to the Brazilian Championship title. However, after the successful season, the striker left the club to join Roma (ITA) in 2010. Today, the former player recognizes that the decision wasn't the best of his career.
Adriano on leaving Flamengo for Roma in 2010: "I think it was the wrong decision I made"
"I think it was a wrong decision I made, and it's not even about the money. I think I agreed to return to Rome more out of excitement than because it was something I really wanted ," Adriano said in an interview with Romário TV .
The Emperor also explained that he felt a kind of duty to Italian football: " Although I owed it to the Italian people , because when I left Inter I kind of left, I didn't give any explanations. It was something I felt I needed to do," he added.
Revealed in Flamengo 's youth academy, Adriano made his professional debut in 2000 and transferred to Inter Milan in 2001. His return to Rubro-Negro took place in 2009, with a huge impact: decisive goals, idolatry and the national title.
In total, adding up both spells, the striker played 92 matches, scored 45 goals and won the 2009 Brasileirão and the 2001 Carioca , establishing himself as one of the greatest idols in the club's history and is still in the fans' imagination.
While Adriano now follows as a fan, Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18) to face Estudiantes (ARG) , at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. The match will be broadcast by ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming), starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).

Flamengo published an official statement on Monday night (15) to alert the Red-Black Nation about a scam circulating on social media. Fans reported having been victims when trying to purchase tickets for the games against Estudiantes, for the Copa Libertadores , and against Vasco, for the Brazilian Championship.

"We would like to emphasize that all official ticket sales are made exclusively through the above platform. We ask the Red-Black Nation to be extra vigilant and avoid accessing or making any purchases on unofficial websites . If you have any questions, always consult the club's official channels," Flamengo said.
For this Thursday's match (18), against Estudiantes, for the Copa Libertadores , there are only tickets left for the Maracanã Mais sector. The same is repeated for the duel against Vasco on the 21st, with only a few tickets remaining in the Maracanã Mais sector.
The club advises fans to report any ticket listings outside of official channels and not to make purchases through suspicious platforms . As the home team for both matches, Flamengo emphasizes that sales are only possible through the website ingressos.flamengo.com.br.
After leaving Mais Querido in 2024 and remaining free on the market, the Brazilian coach is the target of several clubs and national teams across the world of football.

After leading the Brazilian national team in two World Cups, Tite arrived at Flamengo in 2023 with high expectations. However, despite a record of 70 matches, 41 wins, 13 draws, and 16 losses , the team's performance and the coaching choices were criticized by fans and management. His last game in charge was a 1-0 victory over Athletico-PR, with a goal by Gerson.
With Tite's departure, Filipe Luís took over as Flamengo's coach and has been one of the highlights of the 2025 season . The former full-back has received praise for his work at the club, while Tite remains a free agent, attracting interest from South American clubs and national teams.
According to GE reporter Bruno Cassucci, the Venezuelan Football Federation has opened talks with Tite to take over the team's leadership during the World Cup qualifiers . The goal is to leverage the Brazilian coach's experience to lead the country through the cycle until 2030.
According to Cassucci, Tite must undergo knee surgery before making a final decision about his career. Even so, the Venezuelan Federation doesn't see the surgery as an obstacle, as the South American qualifiers are on hold after the last FIFA World Cup.
Flamengo faces Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The duel marks the beginning of the knockout stage in the quarterfinals of the continental competition. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN , on pay TV, and on Disney+ for streaming.
