O Flamengo continues to prepare for the clash valid for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. With Bruno Henrique and Michael confirmed in attack, coach Filipe Luís is still evaluating the best strategy for the match. Decisions in the tactical system and lineup promise to be decisive for the red and black performance in yet another challenge in the tournament.
Bruno Henrique and Michael are the main names confirmed in the attack for Flamengo's next duel. The duo, who combine speed, creativity and an eye for goal, have been essential in the offensive sector. In addition to them, Rossi takes the starting role in goal, while Wesley, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro make up the defense. With a solid formation, the team seeks to consolidate its position in the table.
FILIPE LUÍS HAS A HEADACHE TO BE RESOLVED
The midfield also has prominent names. Everton Araújo and Carlos Alcaraz appear as guaranteed options when building plays. The dynamics between the midfielders and wingers will be crucial to maintain the balance between defense and attack. However, the presence of Allan or Erick Pulgar, recovered from recent discomfort, could bring greater defensive protection, if Filipe Luís opt for a formation with two midfielders.
One of the coach's main questions is related to the tactical system. Filipe Luís is considering repeating the scheme with three defenders, which strengthens the defense and allows greater freedom for Ayrton Lucas to play as a winger on the left. Alternatively, the coach can adopt a more traditional structure, with four defenders and greater compactness in the midfield.
CLUBS AND CAST TOGETHER FOR VICTORY
Flamengo is betting on a combination of individual talents and well-defined strategies for the duel in the 34th round. With Bruno Henrique and Michael leading the attack and Filipe Luís seeking the ideal tactical balance, Rubro-Negro is focused on yet another victory in the Brazilian Championship. The coach's choices, especially in defense and midfield, promise to be crucial to the outcome of the match.

He continued: "In the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo is the leader, and the others have to run after it ", said former player Müller, during the Mesa Redonda program, on TV Gazeta.
“Palmeiras has no money? Revenue of R$1 billion? Spend R$100 million, R$200 million and sign top-level players: ‘the ball solves it’. Because, with these players there, you can forget about it”, he concluded.
FLAMENGO AND PALMEIRAS IN THE BRAZILIAN LEAGUE
It is worth noting that Flamengo and Palmeiras have dominated the Brazilian football scene in recent years. In six Brazilian Championship matches, the title went to one of the two teams.

Braz, ex-Flamengo, sends mysterious riddle after crisis at the club
The mention of the expression “ice in the blood” and the excerpt from a song were interpreted by fans as a direct criticism of the current management led by Bap

Flamengo is experiencing instability behind the scenes. The football management led by Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, is facing criticism and questions, while the name of José Boto, hired at the beginning of the season as technical director, has been the center of recent tensions. In the midst of the storm, Marcos Braz, former vice president of football and an influential figure in the 2019 achievements, returned to the social media with a post that caused a stir among fans and behind the scenes at the club.
IS FLAMENGO HAVING A GOOD MOMENT?
The expression “ice in the blood”, immortalized by Braz during the magical year of 2019, has resurfaced. In a story published on his Instagram account, the former executive showed an image with the phrase, accompanied by an excerpt from the song “Deixe a Vida Rolar”, by singer Clovis Pê: “No problem, you’re welcome. Time tells everything. Do whatever you want. Without fear of the world.”
BRAZ IGNITES THE FANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The combination of the caption and the image did not go unnoticed by the fans, who saw it as a direct message to the current leadership of the red-black football team. Fans quickly reacted to the post. Many interpreted it as a veiled criticism of the way the football department has been run since Braz's departure. Others, however, recalled the poor results under his management in recent years, especially in 2023 and 2024, and treated the post as opportunism.
The target of the crisis is José Boto, a Portuguese who has played for clubs such as Shakhtar Donetsk and Benfica. Since taking over at Flamengo in early 2024, the Portuguese director has found it difficult to apply his work philosophy at Ninho do Urubu . Behind-the-scenes reports indicate a friction with president Bap, especially after the veto of the signing of Irish striker Mikey Johnston, who was recommended by Boto.
The situation has raised red alerts within the club and could culminate in the professional's eventual departure. Sources close to the football department indicate that a meeting between the parties should take place in the next few days to discuss José Boto's future. The relationship between him and Bap has deteriorated over the last few weeks, and the veto on Johnston was just the last straw.
