Fluminense reached the final of the Copa Libertadores da América. The victory over Internacional last Wednesday (04) was a turning point: 2 to 1. The triumph of the tricolor greatly encouraged some red-black fans who are also from Rio, but the truth is that frustration reigned over the entire nation. .
When the round of 16 of the competition was taking place, Flamengo was eliminated. Losing to Olimpia (PAR) 3-1 in the return game, leaving the championship hurt a lot, mainly because in the previous year (2022) it was Mais Querido who won the cup. Expectations were very high, but they were not met.
This is what sums up the entire year 2023 for Flamengo. Having won the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores last season, the team had chances in eight different competitions this campaign. Of the eight, Flamengo lost seven. These were: the Recopa Sul-americana, the Supercopa, the Taça Guanabara, the Campeonato Carioca, the Club World Cup, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil. Rubro-Negro only has the Brasileirão left.
In this way, we understand the frustration of Mengão fans, who dreamed big, but saw one of the worst years in the team's history. "In relation to expectations and reality, it is the worst season in Flamengo's history. A lot was expected and Flamengo won nothing. So I think Flamengo needs to improve a lot and can take Fluminense as an example", said Venê Casagrande during the SBT Rio program this Thursday afternoon (05).
For these same reasons, the commentator believes that Fluminense's arrival in the Libertadores final needs to wake up Flamengo's leaders: "The way Fluminense is reaching the Libertadores da América final is a slap in the face from Flamengo's board of directors! I hope that now they have the humility to understand that the work they are doing is poor, it is ridiculous. Why so far it seems not so! "
He continued his complaint about the behavior of club members: "We see in the interviews with some players and even some managers, that it seems not to be the case. It seems that everything is fine at Flamengo and everything is not fine at Flamengo."
< Flamengo's only chance of redemption, as has already been said, is the Brasileirão. The team is in fifth place at the moment, accumulating 43 points. Their distance to second place is just two points (Bragantino - 45 points), but to first place it is 9 points (Botafogo - 52 points).Striker awaits end of contract and red-black election to understand possible paths

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club
