Can Rodinei return to Flamengo? According to the newspaper sportdogs, this possibility exists. This Wednesday (25), it was reported that the Gávea club was evaluating a new signing for the player, who may not have impressed when he wore the Sacred Mantle, but is putting on a show for Olympiacos (GRE).
According to the newspaper, he has always been a decent player, even if not loved by the red and black fans, which is why he decided to accept the transfer to Internacional in 2020, where he managed to grow impressively. Nowadays, he is almost an idol in Greece, with posters with his image and his name on the fans' lips.
Yiannis Douzgos, a journalist specializing in football and South American players, questioned this rumor and its veracity: "There is no reason to return to Brazil. He wants to live the experience here, in Europe. He welcomes good money. He adapted to Olympiacos. Why would he want to return?"
However, one cannot ignore Flamengo's ability to get what they want, both in terms of insistence like when it comes to money. "Flamengo, after all, is a team that raises the money needed by Latin Americans," Douzgos also said.
In addition to Rodinei, the journalist cited Gustavo Scarpa. The star left Brazil recently, after having an incredible season in 2022. Expectations for his performance were high, which ended up frustrating commentators and fans abroad. Thus, the idea is reinforced that he could be wanting to return to his home country.
"If there is no further development, he will end up at Palmeiras, through a loan or a sale by consortium (being able to use him for two years, for example, and then buy him in a normal transfer). And Flamengo may be interested in this case, taking into account that Tite, who is now sitting on his bench, was the coach who brought Scarpa for the Brazilian team", explained the journalist.

Doctor Luiz Antônio Vieira, responsible for Pedro's surgery, commented that the attacker's recovery has been very positive. The surgeon was responsible for reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament in Pedro's knees — on the right in 2018 and on the left this year. Vieira believes that the player's return will be better than his first injury, which occurred six years ago.
In an interview with 'GE', the doctor, who also operated on Bruno Henrique, detailed the surgical procedure and highlighted the Pedro's physical and psychological qualities and reassured Flamengo fans about the possibility of the striker being present at the Club World Cup, in June next year.
“He was lucky not to have a meniscus injury, so joint rehabilitation is faster. We're still in September, I mean, he'll be there for about eight months, because that's around the time he turns around, between the eighth and ninth month. So I believe he has a chance. He is very dedicated, super focused on rehabilitation, does everything you tell him to, has strong legs, good muscles... I think he has a chance. He will be around the time he would more or less return”, said the doctor.
Luiz Antônio Vieira commented about the way Pedro is mentally dealing with the situation. After suffering the same injury in 2018 to one knee, the attacker now has the anterior cruciate ligament in his other knee torn. The doctor highlighted that Flamengo's Shirt 9 is very calm and sees this as a learning experience for his life.
“He has one good thing: he is quite religious. So he believes that it is part of his life learning, that he had to go through this. He accepted, in a way he resigned himself a little. He said: ‘Doctor, I’ve been through this, I’m going to have to go through it again, it was supposed to be like this, it’s part of my life, let’s face it’. He is super calm about it”, explained Vieira.
In addition, Vieira mentioned the time that Pedro will be able to spend with his twin daughters, who were born just over a month ago.
“He’s at a stage where he just had a baby, right? He has one-month-old twins, so I told him: “Everything in life has a good and a bad side. You will now be able to live with your one-month-old daughters because playing football two or three times a week would be impossible, right”? So let's put it this way, there will be this good part, in quotation marks, of his drama”, concluded the surgeon.

Léo Ortiz is one of the new additions to Dorival Júnior's pre-call for October's FIFA Date. As happened in September, the CBF will use the maximum period of ten days to announce the 23 players who will defend the Seleção against Chile and Peru. However, the preliminary list was already sent to the clubs last Friday. At Flamengo, in addition to Ortiz, there are Fabrício Bruno, Ayrton Lucas and Gerson.
Improvised as a midfielder, Léo Ortiz has been one of Flamengo's highlights in this second half of the year, earning the admiration of the fans. However, in the match against Peñarol, Ortiz was passed over by Tite and started on the bench.
Interestingly, it was Flamengo's current coach who gave Ortiz his first opportunities in the national team. In 2021, the defender was called up for the Copa América, in which Brazil finished as runner-up.
If Ortiz is a surprise, the other three red-and-black players are already household names. Fabrício Bruno and Gerson were in the September squad, and Ayrton Lucas was called up by Dorival Júnior in March.
FIFA regulations allow the 23 players to be defined up to ten days before the presentation, but the clubs that have pre-summoned athletes must be informed 15 days in advance. Therefore, the CBF already notified the clubs on Friday.
Dorival Júnior's official call-up will be announced on September 27th, at the CBF headquarters, in Rio de Janeiro. The players will perform on October 7th, in São Paulo, where they will train at CT Joaquim Grava, from Corinthians, until the 9th, when they will head to Santiago.
Brazil will face Chile away from home in the on October 10th and, on the 15th, they will face Peru at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília. Currently, with ten points, the Seleção occupies fifth place in the Qualifiers.

Gustavo Scarpa was one of Flamengo's main targets at the beginning of the season. However, the midfielder refused the red-black team's proposal and chose to play for Atlético-MG, leaving Nottingham Forest, in England. This Wednesday (03), Flamengo beat the Minas Gerais team 4-2. During the game, Flamengo fans remembered the player's decision not to accept the Rio club's proposal.
Without being able to establishing himself in European football, after spells at Olympiacos (GRE) and Nottingham Forest (ING), Gustavo Scarpa asked to return to Brazil. The midfielder even negotiated with Flamengo, but preferred to settle with Atlético-MG. The Minas Gerais club spent 5 million euros (R$ 26.5 million at the time) to sign the player, a significant investment in strengthening the squad.
Meanwhile, at Flamengo, Luiz Araújo has been standing out in the same role that Gustavo Scarpa plays at Atlético-MG. Luiz Araújo is the leader in assists for Flamengo this season, showing his importance in the team. With the pass to Bruno Henrique this Wednesday (03), the number 7 reached the mark of eight assists in 2024, surpassing the number of Scarpa, who has six assists for Atlético-MG.
The performance de Luiz Araújo highlights the difference in impact between the two players on the season. While Flamengo celebrates the significant contribution of its midfielder, the choice of Scarpa by Atlético-MG has not produced the same results. Flamengo's 4-2 victory over Atlético-MG, therefore, also symbolizes the effectiveness of the choices made by Rubro-Negro in assembling the squad.
With the victory, Flamengo remains firmly in the lead of the Brazilian Championship, increasing the confidence of its fans. The memory of the proposal rejected by Gustavo Scarpa serves as a point of reflection for the player, who is now looking for better results at Atlético-MG. The next round of the championship promises more excitement, with Flamengo facing Cuiabá on Saturday (06), at Maracanã.
