Dorival Júnior built a history with the sacred mantle. This Sunday (13), the coach will lead São Paulo in the dispute with Flamengo. This will be the first time that Dorival will face Mais Querido since he was fired from the club at the end of 2022.
Alongside Mais Querido, Dorival won titles such as the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. However, despite the good performance, the coach was replaced by Vitor Pereira, who had a short spell at Flamengo.
Vitor Pereira led Rubro-Negro to a bad phase at the beginning of the year. The Portuguese failed to win the Recopa Sudamericana, the Club World Cup, the Carioca Championship and the Brazilian Super Cup. Seeking to improve the situation of Mais Querido, the coach was replaced by Jorge Sampaoli.
However, now Sampaoli is the one facing a crisis at Mengão. With the aggression suffered by Pedro by Pablo Fernández, a physical trainer who is part of Sampaoli's coaching staff, and with his elimination in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, the Argentine coach has been losing the confidence of the players, the fans and the coaching staff.
With Rubro-Negro experiencing this negative climate, Dorival meets the club from Rio de Janeiro again in the dispute between Flamengo and São Paulo this Sunday (13). The clubs face each other at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 19th round of the Brasileirão, at Maracanã.
Mengão stands out in the Championship not only because it is at the top of the competition, but also because it has outstanding numbers in all phases of the game.

Flamengo remains firmly in the lead of the 2025 Brasileirão , supported by numbers that prove its strength across the board. The red-and-black team is the competition's top scorer, with 47 goals scored, and also the fewest goals conceded, having conceded only 10 so far . This balance between attack and defense has been a hallmark of the campaign.
In the creative department, Flamengo also stands out as the team that created the most clear-cut chances , totaling 54. Possession is another strong point, averaging 62.8% per game, demonstrating the team's control and tactical organization.
Their passing accuracy reinforces their superiority: they have 519 successful passes per match, a number unmatchable for their rivals . On offense, their average of six successful shots per game makes Flamengo a constant threat to any defense.
In addition to their offensive prowess, the team has gone 13 games without conceding a goal, demonstrating consistency and defensive solidity . Their collective performance is also reflected in their ratings: their average Sofascore rating is 7.12, the highest in the league.
Even though they are competing in the Libertadores, Flamengo's main objective is to win the Brazilian title . The next commitment, however, will be in the continental competition: on Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Mais Querido faces Estudiantes (ARG) at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals.
The Brasileirão classic between Mais Querido and Cruzmaltino, scheduled for September 21, will be the fifth meeting between the teams in 2025 and promises a full house.

Flamengo opened the scoring against Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the Brazilian Championship. Despite controlling possession, the team had not yet created clear chances until a play on the left changed the course of the first half.
Galvão Bueno on Saúl's assist in the Juventude vs Flamengo match: "He doesn't make a cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta's head"
Samuel Lino accelerated down the left wing and found space to cross into the box. Spaniard Saúl Ñíguez, with great technique, delivered a precise pass to Arrascaeta's head , who rose through the opposing defense and finished firmly: 1-0 to Flamengo .
During the Prime Video broadcast, the commentator was full of praise for the play and, especially, for the Spanish midfielder: "All it takes is one space for this Flamengo team to be unmarked, and this happens. And this guy, Saúl, knows how to play football! He doesn't just cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta, who times the ball perfectly and gets between the defenders to score," extolled Galvão Bueno.
After the 2-0 win, Filipe Luís stated in a press conference that Saúl's performance could be "the best of his career." The Spaniard, however, disagreed and reflected on his experience in Brazil.
"I don't think so. I've had some really good moments in terms of everything, but right now I feel really good mentally . I'm lucky to have my family with me, accompanying me on this adventure. I know it's not easy for them, because I go out to train, spend time with my teammates, and enjoy what I do, but for those who are by our side, it's different. It's not easy to leave our country or any place. They do it for us, and I'm very grateful for that," said the number 8.
