Flamengo's victory over Corinthians by 2-0 last Saturday (11), not only represented three points for the red and black team in the Brasileirão, but it was also the 10th consecutive time in which Fabrício Bruno was not dribbled. Absolute starter, the number 15 has been putting in great performances this season.
Fabricio Bruno's numbers
With great performances in 2024, Fabrício Bruno reached the 10th in a row without suffering a dribble. In this section, the defender has a 91% pass accuracy rate and only four fouls committed. In the last ten matches, the number 15 performed 55 defensive actions, recovered 36 balls and won 69% of the duels in which he participated.
It is worth remembering that in the Brasileirão, Fabrício Bruno has been playing suspended since the second round of the competition. With two yellow cards and being able to miss a game due to suspension, the number 15 has managed to perform without making many fouls and preserving himself for the rest of the tournament. This year, the defender has already played 20 matches, but has not yet scored goals.
The game
With one goal in each half, Flamengo beat Corinthians last Saturday (11). Mais Querido opened the scoring in the first stage with Pedro, top scorer of the red and black season. In a beautiful pass from Lorran, the number 9 controlled the ball inside the area, cleared the defender with ease and hit towards the goal. Carlos Miguel, goalkeeper for the São Paulo team, missed and let the ball go under his arms and into the back of the net.

Conmebol announced this Tuesday (16) an important new development for the quarterfinal stage of the Libertadores . From this stage onwards, the main referee will immediately communicate his decision to the entire public present at the stadium , ensuring greater transparency in the arbitration process.
This measure has already been used in the organization's competitions. In the 2024 Recopa Sudamericana, for example, the rule was applied experimentally . Now, it officially returns for the decisive matches of the Copa Libertadores.
The first duel between Flamengo and Estudiantes takes place this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). The stadium will have a full house: All tickets were sold in advance , guaranteeing an estimated audience of around 69 thousand people.
The return leg is scheduled for September 25th in La Plata, Argentina, also at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). It will be broadcast on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) . Fans can stay up to date with all the details of the match at Gazeta do Urubu.
A journalist guarantees that the way the media treats Mengão is always in an exalted tone, which has left the fans 'spoiled'

This Tuesday (16), journalist André Rizek participated in the Charla Podcast and once again gained prominence on social media when talking about Flamengo. Questioned by Bruno Cantarelli about the way the press treats the club , the SporTV presenter pointed out what he considers a “bad habit” of the red-black fan.
André Rizek: "Flamengo has a noble treatment"
According to Rizek, over the years, the media has created a culture in which the spotlight focuses on Flamengo , while rivals with similar achievements don't receive the same recognition. This behavior, he says, has accustomed fans to always expecting "noble treatment."
"When I came to live in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, my first shock was the media coverage. The first thing I noticed was that Flamengo gets a noble treatment. For example, if Flamengo wins the Guanabara Cup: 'Guanabara belongs to Mengão!' Then Botafogo wins the State Championship: 'Botafogo wins an empty State Championship.' Wait, something's different," said the journalist.
Rizek also cited recent examples to illustrate his point. According to him, any praise given to players from other clubs invariably generates comparisons with Flamengo , as when he praised Jhon Arias when he was still a Fluminense player.
"I said that Jhon Arias was, in my opinion, the best and most complete player active in Brazil. 'But what about Arrasca?' I wasn't talking about Flamengo, I was talking about Arias. You can't praise anything outside of Flamengo. A media culture has been created in Brazil that says: 'To Flamengo, everything; to others, beatings, mockery, belittling, and disrespect.' Flamengo is the most popular club in Brazil, a very powerful brand . But the others also need to be treated with respect," he added.
Despite the criticism, it's worth noting that part of this impact also stems from the engagement of rival fans, a phenomenon dubbed "Flacentrism" by the nation. Since 2019, any prominent team in Brazilian football has been compared to Jorge Jesus' historic team , such as Botafogo in 2024 or Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras. The same goes for players: every prominent number 10 in the country ends up being measured against Arrascaeta.
Because of its successful history and the strength of its fans, Flamengo tends to maintain a privileged position in the media . However, how this prominence is constructed is also influenced by the behavior of fans of other teams.
