The fans of Flamengo are in a mood of anticipation for the official announcement of Michael's return to the club, which could happen at any time. However, on Monday night (19), Pixbet, one of Flamengo's sponsors, ended up committing a 'gaffe' that took social media by storm. The company, which has its brand printed in the center of Mengão's shirt, published a montage of the attacker wearing the Sacred Mantle.
The post, which was removed shortly afterwards, featured an image of Michael wearing the shirt do Flamengo< /a>, making a heart with his hands, accompanied by the caption: "I want honest opinions about this man at my table." The error did not go unnoticed by the fans, and quickly became the most talked about topic on the networks.
MICHAEL COULD BE THE FIRST REINFORCEMENT OF THE WINDOW
After the classic against Botafogo, Flamengo's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, was asked about Michael's possible arrival. The director did not hesitate to confirm that negotiations are at an advanced stage, with only the signing of the contract remaining to make the attacker's return to Rubro-Negro official.
“We have a very advanced signing. Everyone knows it's Michael. It's not right because it's not signed, I only tell you when I sign it. But he's too early. (…) All that’s left is for him (Michael) to be here and sign”, stated Marcos Braz, in an interview.
MICHAEL’S SITUATION AT AL HILAL IS POSSIBLE ARRIVAL AT FLAMENGO
Michael, who gained the trust of coach Jorge Jesus at Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), is no longer a priority for the Arab club due to the excess of foreign players in the squad.
With Neymar recovered from injury and occupying the place that belonged to ‘Robôzinho’, Michael is free to return to Brazil. Flamengo, in turn, must close the deal without transfer costs, being only responsible for paying the player's salaries.

Flamengo continues to work with full focus on the decisive clash against Atlético-MG , valid for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The duel is scheduled for this Wednesday (06), at 7 pm, at Arena MRV . After the 1-0 defeat at Maracanã, Mais Querido needs to win to stay alive in the dispute for the national title.
Coach Filipe Luís will have two important players back: Everton Cebolinha and Michael. Both participated normally in the activities held last Monday (04), at CT Ninho do Urubu, and are options in the squad for the decision.
Everton Cebolinha, number 11, hasn't played since the 1-0 win over Fluminense on July 20. He was named in the Brasileirão match against Atlético-MG , but wasn't called up. Michael has been absent since June 24, when he played in the 1-1 draw with Los Angeles FC in the Club World Cup playoffs.
Flamengo 's likely starting lineup for the game is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Viña; Allan (Saúl), Jorginho, Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino, and Pedro (Bruno Henrique). The lineup may undergo adjustments before the match, but it indicates a clear attacking approach.
For the first time, Luiz Araújo, Samu Lino, and Pedro are expected to form Flamengo's attacking trio , representing an attempt to surprise the Minas Gerais defense with a new attacking dynamic. The presence of Bruno Henrique as an option also expands the tactical possibilities.
After losing the first leg 1-0, the red-black team prepares a lineup with new players in attack and counts on important reinforcements for the decisive duel.

Flamengo continues intense preparation for the decisive duel against Atlético-MG , scheduled for this Wednesday (06), at 7 pm, at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. The match is worth a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil and the Rio de Janeiro team needs to win after the 1-0 defeat in the first leg, at Maracanã.
Coach Filipe Luís is signaling changes to the attacking sector with the aim of seeking positive results from the opening minutes. The proposal is to adopt a more aggressive approach , focusing on the movement and speed of the attackers, as well as creativity in the midfield.
The likely lineup for the match indicates an attacking formation: Rossi; Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Viña; Allan, Jorginho, Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro (Plata).
With this formation, Flamengo is banking on an attacking trio that has never played together: Luiz Araújo, Samu Lino, and Pedro Plata . The expectation is that this addition will bring new dynamism to the attack , increasing the pressure on the Minas Gerais defense. Furthermore, Filipe Luís is also considering a midfield change, with Saúl replacing Allan, which would make the team even more attack-oriented.
Two important reinforcements participated normally in the activities carried out this Monday (04), at CT Ninho do Urubu: Everton Cebolinha and Michael. Both were under the care of the medical department. The number 11 was recovering from muscle tendonitis , while the striker nicknamed "robozinho" was dealing with pain in his left ankle.
After a loss to Atlético-MG and a draw with Ceará, the Rio de Janeiro team generates doubts and criticism for performances below expectations from the commentator

After a string of disappointing results, including a 1-0 loss to Atlético-MG and a draw against Ceará , Flamengo is experiencing a slowdown this season. Despite boasting a roster full of renowned athletes, the team's collective performance has been criticized , particularly for its lack of consistency.
Former player and current commentator Paulo Nunes was blunt in his analysis of the team's current form. According to him, the problem goes beyond results and involves the team's performance on the field. "If you look at Flamengo's squad, player by player, it's a team that can compete with any other in Brazil ," he said.
" And when the starting lineup comes in, the potential is even greater. But the performance is below par. It's not just about winning, but about playing better. I was shocked by Flamengo 's bench against Atlético-MG. There's talent, there are alternatives, but something is missing on the field," said Paulo Nunes.
Despite the big names at the coach's disposal, the team's performance hasn't reflected the club's investment. Flamengo is still searching for a more convincing style of play, especially in front of a demanding fan base , which expects more than just close results or lackluster performances.
Paulo Nunes reinforced this view, emphasizing that the team has the capacity to play more engaging football. " I'm a results-oriented team, always have been. But Flamengo has the ability to play better football. They already demonstrated that before the World Cup. Fans go to Maracanã expecting to see that level again."
In recent games, the team has shown signs of tactical imbalance and difficulty creating attacking plays. The lack of creative output, coupled with difficulties controlling the midfield , has limited the team's performance in decisive matches.
