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.

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.


NEGOTIATION WITH ANDREAS PEREIRA


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 .

JORGINHO ALSO ON THE RADAR


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.

FOCUS ON THE LIBERTADORES

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.
