Anderson Daronco will officiate Flamengo x São Paulo< /a>, Wednesday (17) at Maracanã. The CBF (Brazilian football confederation) roster was released this Monday (17), on the entity's official website, where the lineup appears.
The referee considered the 'worst in Brazil' in 2022 will have as assistants Rafael da Silva Alves and Maurício Coelho Silva Penna. Rodrigo D'Alonso Ferreira commands the VAR in the match that will be held at Maracanã, a place that is capable of receiving the new CBF technology.
The election of Daronco as the 'worst referee in Brazil' was made by the players themselves, who also ended up agreeing that he was the best referee in the country, too. Last year, the portal 'UOL' carried out an extensive survey in which players working in Brazil voted, separately, for who would be the best and worst referee in the country.
Impressively, Daronco won both votes. And the result was very balanced: he was named by 27% of the players as the best referee in Brazil, just as for 27% of them he is the worst of all. During the 2022 season, he refereed 39 matches, in the different championships. He was one of the most active referees at the time.
After refereeing the first game of the 2023 Copa do Brasil final, between Flamengo and São Paulo, at Maracanã, referee Anderson Daronco won spotlight to the point of becoming a FIFA referee and also traveling to officiate in Saudi Arabia.
He also caught attention in the first game of the round of 16 between Flamengo and Fluminense in last year's Copa do Brasil. On that occasion, the team led by Sampaoli managed to qualify for the next phase.

Youth product gains strength to be a starter in Flamengo vs. Fluminense

With Bruno Henrique absent due to suspension, coach Filipe Luís will be forced to make changes to Flamengo's attacking sector for the classic against Fluminense, scheduled for this Sunday (20), at 7:30 pm, at Maracanã . The dispute for the spot is between the young Wallace Yan and the experienced Everton Cebolinha, and the balance seems to be tipping towards the red-black promise.
Despite only playing 51 minutes in the Brazilian Championship, Wallace has excelled when called upon, scoring important goals and capturing the fans' attention. According to the ge website, the striker has already surpassed Juninho in the internal pecking order and is currently seen as the main candidate to replace Bruno Henrique in the starting lineup.
WALLACE'S PERFORMANCE
Wallace Yan, alongside Bruno Henrique , is the squad's third-highest scorer this season, with seven goals. This is a significant number, especially considering the striker's limited playing time. His effectiveness has been a differentiator, especially compared to the team's more experienced players.
Everton Cebolinha, on the other hand, has played 534 minutes in the Brasileirão, more than ten times as much as Wallace. However, the number 11 has directly contributed to only two goals in the competition and is facing a seven-match drought without contributing assists or goals. The player's inconsistent form has sparked dissatisfaction among fans, increasing the pressure on the coach when choosing the lineup.
FINAL CHOICE WILL BE DEFINED
Filipe Luís is likely to keep Plata as a false 9 , and if he opts for Everton Cebolinha, the number 11 will be moved to the left side of the attack. However, recent factors favor the selection of Wallace Yan, who has been responding to the opportunities he receives and outperforming his direct competitor.

We're fighting to keep it going. There are a lot of liens and labor lawsuits," Batata told ge.
With the potential sale, the club estimates it will raise R$25 million for the transfer of 95% of its football rights. Part of the proceeds will be allocated to regularizing the club's tax situation, with the promise of obtaining a clearance certificate by the end of August.
INVESTORS PLAN IMMEDIATE INVESTMENTS

Flamengo comfortably defeated Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 in a friendly match held at Gávea Stadium, and one of the star performers was young Matheus Gonçalves. The number 10 played an active role: scoring a goal, providing an assist, hitting the crossbar , and curling a header that thrilled the home crowd.
However, despite his outstanding performance, the player expressed dissatisfaction on social media. After the match, Matheus commented on an official club post: " I don't understand, I'm not appearing in anything anymore 🤦🏻♂️… What madness. But we're going for it!! We keep going 🙏🏻❤️💪🏻." Shortly after, the message was deleted. The post in question did not contain his image, which sparked a public outcry.
FLAMENGO ALMOST NEGOTIATED YOUNG MIDFIELDER
The incident comes amid a period of uncertainty in the athlete's career. Matheus Gonçalves, a player brought up by the club itself , has found few opportunities in the professional team under coach Filipe Luís . He was included in the last official match, against Santos, but remained on the bench throughout the club's defeat.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo had made progress in negotiations with Cruzeiro, which offered €3.5 million (approximately R$22 million) for 50% of the player's economic rights. Despite the agreement being reached, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP) opted to back out and cancel the negotiation.
MATHEUS GONÇALVES ATTRACTS THE MARKET
Despite the impasse regarding his first-team performance, Matheus continues to attract attention abroad . Olympiacos, a traditional Greek club, has shown interest in the young midfielder through its scouting department, which has been monitoring his performance since his youth academy.
