Refereeing errors have always happened and in the history of world football, several clubs have felt injured by referees. Here in Brazil, it's no different and for this reason, VAR arrived as a kind of "solution" for the mistakes made by the whistleblowers. However, it is unanimous among clubs, coaches, players and managers that the Brazilian VAR is below what is seen in other football centers.
The problem with the Brazilian VAR is one of concept and training, and not of technology, said former referee Renato Marsiglia, participating in De Primeira.
According to Marsiglia, the CBF VAR is guilty of excessive interventionism in the work of the field judge. The former referee explained that the tool was designed to correct factual and indisputable calls, but has been used to "replay" matches.
"What we see is that there [in European football], They interfere much less, but it's not a question of technology, it's much more a question of concept, of training, when you should interfere, when you should support the referee's on-field decision, when you shouldn't enter. in matters that are of interpretation, everything is a matter of concept", said the former referee.
"The issue of VAR is between the chair and the equipment: there is a human hand and here VAR interferes. Too much, it interferes in matters of interpretation. It was not created for that, but for those clear, obvious, unquestionable moves that ethics reject and that even the fan of the injured team agrees with. This is the objective of VAR, but it interferes. expanded, perhaps due to pressure from the media, fans, the technical committee, the clubs, and the VAR started to replay the game in Brazil", concluded Renato Marsiglia.
Coach Filipe Luís will have to use his creativity to choose the 11 players who will take to the field in Mengão's debut in the continental competition

The countdown to Flamengo 's debut in the 2025 Libertadores is coming to an end! Rubro-Negro faces Deportivo Táchira (VEN) this Thursday (03), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo Stadium, in Venezuela. For the clash, Filipe Luís will have four confirmed absences and is still awaiting the recovery of two athletes .
Pedro and Matías Viña are already out of the plans due to serious injuries, but they are still recovering. Danilo is also out of the debut, after being diagnosed with an injury to the back of his right thigh . Another absence is Arrascaeta , who suffered an injury to the adductor muscle in his right thigh during the FIFA Date and is still under the care of the medical department.
In addition to the certain absences, Filipe Luís still does not know if he will be able to count on Gerson and Léo Pereira . The midfielder feels pain in his left thigh , while the defender suffered a blow to his left knee in the last game. The presence of both will be evaluated before the trip to Venezuela. The tendency is that the captain will be out of the match, while the number 4 should travel with the squad.
Flamengo has a positive history on Venezuelan soil. The red-black team has never lost in the country, with seven matches played in the country, totaling six wins and one draw . The duel against Deportivo Táchira will be this Thursday (3) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast exclusively on Disney+ for Brazil.
The young midfielder was considered at the time one of the great gems of the youth team, but he was unable to establish himself in the professional team of Mais Querido.

Matheus Sávio, a product of Ninho, will be one of the former Flamengo players who will compete in the Super Club World Cup, which will take place between June and July. A standout for Urawa Red Diamonds (JAP), the Brazilian will face River Plate (ARG), Monterrey (MEX) and Internazionale (ITA) in Group E. Thus, he did not hide his desire to meet the Mais Querido again in the tournament .
" I want to play against the best and be among the best .
" It would be an honor to be able to advance to the next stage and play against a Brazilian team. Among the teams that will be there, facing Flamengo would be special because of what I experienced at the club and the gratitude I have. It's a great team, and these challenges motivate us. I want to play against the best and be among the best. At 17, when I moved up to the professional team, everything happened very quickly. Maybe I didn't make the most of the opportunity, but it was a learning experience ," said Matheus Sávio, in an interview with 'GE'.
The Mais Querido is in Group D of the Super Club World Cup and will debut in the tournament against Espérance (TUN), on June 16. Four days later, the Rubro-Negro will face Chelsea (ENG). Finally, Flamengo will end the qualifying stage against another team, which will still be defined by FIFA.
Matheus Sávio made his debut in the Mais Querido professional team in 2015 and left the club in 2019 to join Kashiwa Reysol (JAP) for around R$4.6 million. Despite having emerged as a great promise in the youth team, the midfielder was unable to establish himself at Rubro-Negro. With the Manto Sagrado, he played 25 matches, scoring four goals and won the 2016 São Paulo Junior Football Cup and the 2017 Carioca .
While Flamengo and Matheus Sávio do not meet again in the Super World Cup, the Mais Querido squad remains focused on preparing for the Libertadores. Rubro-Negro takes the field against Deportivo Táchira (VEN) this Thursday (3) , at 9:30 pm, at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo Stadium.
Mengão wants the midfielder to return for the 2025 season and sees the player as a possible replacement for Arrascaeta, who has been suffering from injuries.

Flamengo faces a long and challenging season, with competitions ongoing until December. To strengthen the squad, the club remains attentive to the market and remains interested in Andreas Pereira , with the intention of offering a four-year contract to the midfielder.
According to journalist Julio Miguel Neto, Flamengo is monitoring the player's situation at Fulham (ENG) and, despite contact made by intermediaries at the beginning of the year, the board does not intend to exceed the four-season limit on the contract . The English club is protecting itself with a contract until June 2026 and recently rejected Palmeiras' attempts to sign the midfielder.
In early 2025, Andreas ' representatives offered the player to Flamengo, but Fulham set a price of 20 million euros (R$122.6 million). The Rio de Janeiro club considers this amount to be high and, for now, has not shown any willingness to pay the amount demanded by the English club. The red-and-black club is still in talks with Lucas Paquetá 's staff, but any progress will only come after the player's trial .
In addition to Andreas, Flamengo is in advanced negotiations with Jorginho , from Arsenal (ENG). Football director José Boto and the player's representatives recently met in Barra da Tijuca , and the expectation is for a positive outcome in the coming days. There will be a new meeting with the player's representatives later this week.
While working to strengthen the squad, Flamengo focuses its attention on the debut of the Libertadores. Rubro-Negro faces Deportivo Táchira (VEN) this Thursday (03), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), away from home, in the first round of the competition. Mengão has never been defeated on Venezuelan soil , with a record of six wins and one draw.
