Midfielder Evertton Araújo caused a stir on social media after saying that he did not admire any player from Bayern Munich , Flamengo's opponent in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup . Given the backlash, the red-and-black athlete made a point of clarifying the statement and minimizing any misunderstanding.
Flamengo's Evertton Araújo on controversy with Bayern: "They were picking on me"
“These guys are complicated. They were getting on my case about the video game thing, but I was never one for playing video games . I was more into hanging out on the street playing soccer and flying kites. But you know how the internet is, right?! Everything is fine, we’re together,” said the midfielder, in a video posted on the club’s social media.
Despite not having had the habit of playing video games as a child, Evertton assured that he knows the main names in the Bayern squad . The youngster is already focused on preparing for this Sunday's duel (29), as is the rest of the group led by Filipe Luís.
With most of the squad available, Filipe Luís is working on defining the starting team for the knockout game . The only doubt so far is midfielder De La Cruz, who is still recovering from knee pain and is not yet guaranteed to be in the match.
Flamengo and Bayern Munich face each other this Sunday (29), at 5 pm (Brasília time), at Hard Rock Stadium , in Miami, for the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup. The match will be broadcast by Globo, SporTV, CazéTV (YouTube) and DAZN.

Coach Filipe Luís will have some important news. Midfielder Jorge Carrascal , the latest signing in the transfer window, has already had his name published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) and will be included in the squad, with a good chance of making his debut with the Sacred Mantle.
In addition, Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo return after being rested against Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil due to physical activity management. Michael, who has recovered from ankle pain, may also be available.
Rubro-Negro will be without Jorginho, suspended for his third yellow card. Danilo and De La Cruz are still undergoing treatment for injuries and should only return against Internacional , next Wednesday (13), for the Libertadores. Erick Pulgar, who underwent foot surgery, remains out.
Mirassol is enjoying a strong run in the Brasileirão and is heading into this match with a bang. Without suspended coach Rafael Guanaes, the team will be led by assistant coach Ivan Baitello. The news is the return of captain and top scorer Reinaldo , who served a suspension in the last round.

Mirassol will make just one change to the starting lineup to face Flamengo this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leão defends a three-month unbeaten run in the match, while Mengão seeks to remain in the lead.
After serving a suspension in the victory over Vasco, left-back Reinaldo returns to the team, taking Felipe Jonatan's place . Leão's top scorer in the Brasileirão, the number 6 has seven goals in the competition and is the team's official penalty taker.
Mirassol's likely lineup is : Walter; Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes and Reinaldo; Neto Moura, Danielzinho and Gabriel; Negueba, Edson Carioca and Chico da Costa.
The main absence will be coach Rafael Guanaes , suspended for a third yellow card . Without the manager, assistant Ivan Baitello will be on the sidelines for the club's debut at Maracanã. Guanaes' team hasn't been defeated since May 5th, when they lost to Red Bull Bragantino.
In the medical department, defender Da Silva is out, although he didn't play for the team in 2024—his last appearance was for the B team last season. On the other hand, defender Luiz Otávio, a regular starter in 2024, left the medical department but hasn't yet played this year due to successive injuries.
Leão is in 5th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points, and is looking to score points to remain in the G6. If they beat Flamengo this Saturday and Bahia stumbles against Fluminense, Mirassol will finish the round in the G4 , those who qualify directly for the group stage of the Libertadores.
