During an interview with the newspaper Correio do Povo, Mano Menezes was direct when commenting on the current scenario of Brazilian football: Flamengo 's financial hegemony imposes a new logic on the market. For the coach, it is practically impossible to compete with Rubro-Negro using the same parameters and the same current numbers.
Mano Menezes about Mais Querido: "We can't compete with Flamengo under Flamengo's rules"
Alongside Palmeiras, Flamengo appears to be an outlier club, not only in terms of structure and squad, but also in terms of investment power. The coach does not hide the fact that this advantage is an obstacle for most rivals. Despite recognizing that Flamengo has always had financial potential, Mano highlighted that the big difference in recent years has been its administrative organization.
The coach believes that the Rio de Janeiro club has consolidated its dominant position through solid management, with strategic decisions on and off the field. According to him, this structure strengthens the team, finances and competitiveness. For Mano, other clubs need to recognize their limitations and find their own ways to compete. According to him, direct comparisons with Flamengo and Palmeiras are counterproductive.
The statement highlights the financial gap that separates the richest clubs from the rest in the Brasileirão, a reality that is reflected in both signings and sporting performance throughout the season . The interview also provided a detailed analysis of Gustavo Cuéllar . The Colombian midfielder, who had a notable stint at Flamengo between 2016 and 2019, returned to Brazil this year, signed by Grêmio.
Mano Menezes, however, urged caution when assessing the athlete's current situation. He believes that the weight of the emotional memory of the red-black fans could hinder the analysis of what Cuéllar can deliver today. "There is already a huge financial disparity, especially between Palmeiras and Flamengo, compared to the rest of the others. We cannot compete with Flamengo under Flamengo's rules."
Coach Filipe Luís reinforces the idea of prioritizing the Brazilian Championship and sends Mengão's full strength to the duel against Leão at Maracanã

Flamengo announced coach Filipe Luís's starting lineup for the match against Mirassol in the 19th round of the Brasileirão . Despite significant absences, Mengão will go into the match at full strength , aiming to maintain its lead in the competition. With a victory, "Mais Querido" cannot be overtaken in the round.
Rossi; Emerson Royal, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Allan, Evertton Araújo, Arrascaeta, Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino, Pedro.
One of the possible new players is Jorge Carrascal , who did not play in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG due to not being registered, but is available for the Brasileirão. The Colombian is available to coach Filipe Luís for the first time since his arrival at Flamengo .
Coach Filipe Luís will be without key players for the match : Danilo, with a hamstring injury in his right thigh; De La Cruz , who is doing strength and mobility work at the gym due to a knee injury; and Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, performed after an injury during the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Jorginho is suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
Coach Rafael Guanaes also confirmed the Mirassol lineup, which features only one change from the previous match: the return of full-back Reinaldo, who was suspended against Vasco due to three yellow cards. The Leão starting lineup is : Walter; Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes, and Reinaldo; Neto Moura, Danielzinho, and Gabriel; Negueba, Edson Carioca, and Chico da Costa.

Today is an important game day for Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship . Mengão hosts Mirassol in the 19th round, and last of the first half, of the Brasileirão this Saturday (9) at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). Mais Querido needs the victory to remain in first place in the table , while Leão wants to enter the G4 of the competition.
One of the possible new players is Jorge Carrascal , who did not play in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG due to not being registered, but is available for the Brasileirão. The Colombian is available to coach Filipe Luís for the first time since his arrival at Flamengo .
Coach Filipe Luís will be without key players for the match : Danilo, with a hamstring injury in his right thigh; De La Cruz, who is doing strength and mobility work at the gym due to a knee injury; and Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, following an injury during the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Jorginho is suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
On the other hand, there will be important reinforcements . Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique, who were on weight training due to pain and fatigue , trained normally in recent days and are available again. The former competes for a spot with Plata, while the latter could play as a false nine. Michael, who has recovered from a left ankle injury, is also returning, but is expected to start on the bench.
The defender left Mengão for Milan in 2019, but never established himself in the elite of European football and could be back in Rio de Janeiro.

Vasco is interested in signing defender Léo Duarte , currently with İstanbul Başakşehir in Turkey, to bolster its defense for the remainder of the season . The information was released by the Canak Vasco portal, in partnership with VDG-Cast.
Despite the interest, negotiations are seen as difficult. Léo Duarte is a regular starter and a key player for the Turkish club, making a quick release unlikely. The defender has already played 174 matches for Başakşehir, scoring two goals and providing four assists.
Vasco is also monitoring other defensive players, including Colombian Carlos Cuesta. The board is looking to expand its options to address one of the main needs of Fernando Diniz's squad : the arrival of an experienced defender.
Revealed in Flamengo 's youth ranks, Léo Duarte left the club in 2019. During his time playing for Rubro-Negro, he won two Campeonato Carioca titles (2017 and 2019) . The defender worked for about a month with Jorge Jesus before being sold to Milan (ITA), his first European club.
In Europe, he failed to establish himself at Milan and was loaned to İstanbul Başakşehir, who later acquired his rights permanently . He's currently enjoying a good run of form in Turkish football, which makes Vasco's move difficult.
