A small demonstration by Gabigol on social networks denounced that his relationship with Flamengo's vice president of football has cooled down. Marcos Braz was responsible for his joining the team, but he recently fought with the number 10. The manager is still in favor of his staying at the club. This Monday (28th), Gabriel Barbosa liked a publication on X (former Twitter), agreeing with protests against the club's board (pictured to the side). In the message, the user pointed out that the protests being organized to sabotage the star's birthday party should, in fact, be aimed at Braz, Spindel (executive director of Flamengo) and Landim (president of Flamengo football).


Before, the striker and the runner had a good friendship. Marcos Braz was the one who did everything to include Gabriel in the cast in 2019, when he didn't attract so much attention. Since then, the player decided two Libertadores for Flamengo and lined up titles of expression.


However, it seems that the good relationship has gone sour. If they still maintained a close relationship, Gabigol would probably not want the fans to demonstrate against the director's permanence at Mengão. According to 'ge', the reason for this removal was a fight almost two months ago.


The two argued heavily in the locker room during a game. The fight took place at halftime, while Flamengo was beating Fortaleza by 2-0, at Maracanã, on July 1st.

At the time, the player sprained his ankle halfway through the first half, tried to stay on the field, but failed and ended up substituted at halftime. In Gabigol's view, the state of the lawn caused the injury. Disgusted, he entered the locker room making several complaints. When Braz arrived at the scene, Gabigol addressed his complaints, and the two exchanged curses.


As one of the team captains, Gabigol could never cut ties with the manager 100%. According to the 'ge', too, they still talk, but only about professional matters. The treatment, however, is cold, distant and formal. One of the topics covered is your contractual situation.

Although they are distant, Braz still wants Barbosa to stay at Flamengo. His contract with the team expires in December 2024, but he has already told the striker that, as long as he is in charge of red-black football, he will not sell it at all.

Palmeiras gave Internacional no chance and won 4-1 this Saturday (13), in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The big name of the night was striker Vitor Roque , who scored three goals. With the result, the São Paulo team reaches the same 21 games as the leader Flamengo and puts itself in the fight for the top of the table.


From the opening whistle, Abel Ferreira's team exerted intense pressure and opened the scoring after just three minutes. After a corner kick, Felipe Anderson pounced on the loose ball and passed it to Vitor Roque, who finished with precision past goalkeeper Rochet .


INTENSE PRESSURE AND EFFICIENCY


The home team's dominance continued intensely. In the 23rd minute, a solo play by Flaco López found the ball in the path of Facundo Torres, who found Vitor Roque again to extend the lead . Five minutes later, in the 28th minute, Lucas Evangelista pounced on a rebound from Felipe Anderson's shot following a short corner kick to score the third goal for the Green and Whites.

Before halftime, in the 42nd minute, Vitor Roque shone once again, completing a pass from Gustavo Gómez and scoring Palmeiras' fourth goal, making it 4-0 in the first half. In the second half, with victory virtually assured, Palmeiras slowed down. Internacional, which had produced little up until then, managed to pull one back in the 26th minute.



PALMEIRAS CLOSES TO THE LEAD

With this result, Palmeiras reaches the same 21-game streak as the leader and reinforces its position as the main contender for the title. Vitor Roque's performance boosts the squad's confidence for the rest of the season.

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) granted this Saturday (13) a suspensive effect to striker Bruno Henrique, punished with a 12-match suspension in a case related to betting manipulation . The decision frees the athlete to play for Mais Querido until the appeal filed by the defense is analyzed by the Court's Plenary.


The ruling cites article 53, § 4, of Law No. 9,615/1998 and article 147-B, item II , of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), determining the suspension of the effects of the penalty until the final judgment.


Despite the legal relief, the number 27 should not enter the field this Sunday (14), against Juventude , for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo reported that the athlete presented pain after training on Saturday and will undergo a load control to be in better conditions for the clash on Thursday (18), against Estudiantes, for the Copa Libertadores .


12-GAME PUNISHMENT REMAINS VALID

If the full court upholds the 12-game penalty, the suspension will be served exclusively in Brazilian Championship matches. To extend the punishment to other competitions, such as international tournaments, the STJD Prosecutor's Office would need to issue a specific notification.


OFFICIAL CLUB NOTE

In a statement, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo emphasized that granting the suspension guarantees the striker's full playing status until the court reviews the case. The statement also mentioned that dissenting votes in the 1st Disciplinary Committee indicated the possible statute of limitations on the sentence.

Despite playing with ten men since the 31st minute of the first half , Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 this Saturday at the Anoeta stadium in San Sebastián. Mbappé opened the scoring and also provided the assist for Güler to extend the lead, while Oyarzabal scored for the Basque team.


With the result, the Madrid team remains at the top of the Spanish Championship, with 12 points and a 100% record after four rounds. The match had a decisive moment in the first half, when defender Huijsen received a straight red card for pulling down Oyarzabal during a Real Sociedad counterattack.


At that point, the visitors were already leading 1-0 with a goal from Mbappé , who also hit the post and was instrumental in the second goal, scored by Güler . In the second half, led by Oyarzabal, Real Sociedad increased the pressure. Marín hit Courtois's post, and soon after, Oyarzabal reduced the deficit from the penalty spot in the 10th minute. The Basque team's number 10 even forced a great save from the Belgian goalkeeper on another attempt.


VINÍCIUS JUNIOR DISCREET

Among the Brazilians, Vini Júnior started but had a lackluster performance and was replaced by Fran García in the 23rd minute of the second half . Éder Militão showed defensive confidence and appeared in attack on a few occasions. Rodrygo remained on the bench for the entire match.


REAL SAFE PRESSURE

With Real Sociedad pressing, coach Xabi Alonso reinforced the defense in the final stretch . Real Madrid managed to hold on to their lead and return to the Spanish capital with high morale ahead of their Champions League opener next Tuesday against Olympique de Marseille at the Santiago Bernabéu.
