Upon surgery for a kidney problem, Gerson returned to Flamengo at the start of the Brazilian Championship, but has not yet returned to the starting team. In a press conference after the red-black victory over São Paulo 2-1, coach Tite revealed that the number 8 is not yet fully prepared to play for 90 minutes. The midfielder replaced De La Cruz in the final stretch of the second half.
“I understand you all. You have the holder and the non-holder. They are all high-level athletes. Fortunately, Gerson is healthy and returning to his best condition. He wasn't physically fit to play an entire game. Little by little, he regains it. Just as I wasn’t in a position to play Arrascaeta today”, said Tite.
In addition to Gerson, Tite highlighted how difficult the game against São Paulo was, but opined that Flamengo should have won by a bigger score, having had more opportunities and taking into account the complicated season where the tricolor is located.
“They repeated the final of the Copa do Brasil, a traditional duel. We also lost to São Paulo there in the last game of the Brazilian Championship (2023). The duel has the greatness of its teams, two teams that perform well. But the feeling is that we could have transformed our football into the third goal. (It didn't happen) a lot also due to the good performance of the opposing goalkeeper”, he pondered.
“And then football is a little game of chess, because when Allan has a cramp, he can't do the recovery. He asks to leave, but the rules of the game do not allow this stoppage. And it was precisely in Alisson's sector that he made the play (for the São Paulo goal). It's difficult to regret. But, based on the performance, the result should have been more elastic”, concluded the coach.

Flamengo continues to focus on its youth academy as a key component of its sports planning. In recent hours, the club has confirmed the arrival of three young talents to its U-16 squad: Carlos Henrique, Jhon Kennedy, and Julio Cézar.
The athletes were discovered through a partnership with the Wilson Goiano Sports Center (CEWG), a project that has been one of Flamengo 's main recruiting hubs in the Central-West region.

A TRIO THAT WILL BEAR FRUIT

Since Filipe Luís's arrival as youth academy coach, the technical and tactical demands have increased , raising the level of internal pressure and favoring those who excel early.
NAMES OF ARRIVING ATHLETES
Carlos Henrique is an ambidextrous winger with physical strength, speedy dribbling, and technical skill. In addition to playing as a winger, he can also be used as a third midfielder, a role valued by youth coaching staffs for his versatility. With long strides and good aerial ability, the youngster draws attention for his physical maturity and ability to read space in attacking transitions.
Jhon Kennedy, meanwhile, arrives with the nickname "Cuiabano" (Cuiabano) due to his physical resemblance to the Botafogo full-back. A native of the state of Goiás, the new U-16 signing is known for his physical strength and precision crossing. The young left-back possesses characteristics that align with what modern football demands: intense marking, good timing on the ball, and consistent arrival in the attacking half.

Fluminense's campaign, which finished in the top four of the championship, and Botafogo's unexpected victory against Paris Saint-Germain drew attention.
