This Saturday, Flamengo drew 0-0 against Fluminense, and secured their place in the final of the Campeonato Carioca. The Gávea team played with the 'regulations under their arms' and played another good game defensively.


Rossi reached a historic milestone at Flamengo. In the game against Fluminense, at Maracanã, the goalkeeper became the absolute record holder for consecutive minutes without conceding goals in official matches for the club.


At 40 minutes into the second half, Rossi completed 960 minutes without being fouled. The old mark belonged to Cantarele, who spent 959 minutes without conceding a goal between November 1978 and February 1979, in Flamengo's goal.


It is important to note that stoppage time in matches is not included in the count. Furthermore, friendlies do not count. Therefore, preparatory matches in the United States, during the January pre-season, are not considered.

The last goal conceded by Rossi in matches valid for official competitions occurred in the final round of the 2023 Brazilian Championship. It was leaked in the 25th minute of the first half of the 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, at Morumbi.

Right-back Wesley, a Flamengo youth product , is starting to gain a foothold in the Brazilian national team. In Carlo Ancelotti's first matches against Ecuador and Paraguay, the position was occupied by Monaco's Vanderson. However, after his transfer to Roma, Wesley has started to receive more attention and could change the national team's call-up.


The 17th round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers has strong emotions in store for the fans who will be at Maracanã this Thursday (4), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). In addition to the expectation regarding Wesley, another name in the spotlight is striker Samuel Lino , called up by Ancelotti for the last two matches of the competition.


WHERE TO WATCH THE BRAZIL VS CHILE GAME


The match will be broadcast on free-to-air TV Globo , with commentary by Luis Roberto and Caio Ribeiro and Roger Flores. On pay-TV, SporTV will be broadcast by Luiz Carlos Júnior, with commentary by Lédio Carmona and Paulo Nunes.

The Brazilian football transfer window officially closed on September 2nd , preventing new signings from arriving in the country. However, the closure doesn't prevent players from leaving, as other international markets are still open. One name under consideration is center forward Juninho, who could move to Europe.


The striker, who was already considered a top contender to leave Flamengo this summer, remains in negotiations. According to Fabrício Lopes, who covers the club on social media , Juninho may be close to returning to Qarabag in Azerbaijan.


POSSIBLE EXIT OF THE ATTACKER


Internally, the club's board of directors considers the possibility of releasing Juninho to be positive. The assessment is that the move could create space in the squad and, at the same time, enhance the player's value in a new cycle in European football.

It is worth noting that, at the beginning of this season, Flamengo had acquired the rights to the striker from Qarabag himself , which makes the possible loan a turnaround in the initial planning for the player.


JUNINHO'S FUTURE

With the transfer window still open in some countries, the coming weeks are expected to be decisive for the center forward's future. If the deal goes through, Juninho will have the opportunity to resume his European career and once again represent Qarabag.

In recent days, Flamengo received an offer from Qatar's Al Rayyan to sign Pedro. The proposed figure was around $20 million (approximately R$110 million), but the board promptly rejected the offer and did not continue negotiations. The information was initially reported by journalist Venê Casagrande.


The Arab market's interest in the striker isn't new . On other occasions, Middle Eastern teams have signaled offers, forwarded them to the player's staff, but none have come forward. This time, the approach came from the team led by Artur Jorge, former Botafogo coach.


PEDRO SEEKS TO RECOVER SPACE


Despite the external pressure, Pedro has remained focused on Flamengo and is working to return to his peak. According to Fabrício Lopes, the striker is committed to regaining his place and, most importantly , to regaining coach Carlo Ancelotti's attention on the Brazilian national team.

At the last World Cup, the number 9 was part of the "Amarelinha" squad and wants to return to the squad. To do so, he knows he needs to maintain his consistency and increase his contribution on the field . Currently, the national team's number 9 will be Chelsea's youngster João Pedro .


PEDRO'S NUMBERS IN THE SEASON

This season, the striker has played 28 matches, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists. In the last four games, he has started three times, finding the net six times and providing two decisive passes to teammates. His recent performance reinforces the player's confidence and increases his chances of being scouted again by the national team's coaching staff.
