In a football scenario permeated by cold statistics and numbers that often obscure the shine of true trajectories of overcoming, Paulinho's case emerges as a captivating story of resilience and determination. Edmundo, on his program, revealed an intriguing narrative about the player's refusal to return to Flamengo, giving space to a deeper analysis of the meaning behind the apparently unfavorable data.


THE REJECTED WHO REBORN: DEMYTHIFYING THE NUMBERS


By stating that "the numbers lie", Edmundo opens a window to understanding Paulinho's recent journey. The player, once offered to Vasco, was turned down due to unflattering statistics over the last two years. However, Edmundo warns that judging a player's quality solely by numbers can be misleading. Paulinho, far from being an athlete with mediocre performance, went through a challenging period after knee surgery, which kept him away from the field for almost two years during his time at Bayer Leverkusen.


A CHOICE BASED ON RESPECT: FLAMENGO REFUSED FOR LOVE OF VASCO

The turnaround in Paulinho's career takes on more intriguing contours when Edmundo reveals that the player, upon returning to Brazil, turned down a proposal from Flamengo. Surprisingly, the refusal was not related to sporting reasons, but rather a gesture of respect for Vasco. The athlete's brother would have confided in Edmundo that Paulinho declined the red-black offer as a way of honoring Vasco's roots.


THE TRIUMPH OF OVERCOMING: BRAZILIAN SELECTION, ARTILLERY AND HIGHLIGHTS IN THE BRASILEIRÃO

< Contrary to statistics and conventional logic, Paulinho chose Atlético-MG as his destination. This decision, although it surprised some, became a crucial turning point in his career. The player not only recovered his form, but also regained a place in the Brazilian team, where he stood out as top scorer and a prominent figure in the Brasileirão.

EDMUNDO'S LESSON: BEYOND SCOUTS, SENSITIVITY IN EVALUATION< /p>

Edmundo's analysis not only challenges the conventional narrative, but also offers a valuable lesson about evaluating talent in football. When warning that "if you only rely on numbers, on scouts, you will make a lot of mistakes", he highlights the importance of considering the human and contextual aspects behind the raw data. Paulinho's story is an eloquent reminder that a player's true value often transcends quantitative metrics.

CONCLUSION: BEYOND STATISTICAL LINES, A NARRATIVE OF RESILIENCE

In a A sport where numbers often dictate the conversation, Paulinho's saga emerges as a narrative of resilience that defies expectations. His refusal to join Flamengo out of respect for Vasco, his triumphant return to the Seleção and his outstanding role in the Brasileirão are chapters of a story that transcends the cold lines of statistics. Paulinho, far from being defined by isolated numbers, personifies the essence of football as a human journey full of challenges, sacrifices and, above all, unexpected triumphs.

One of the great merits of Filipe Luís's work at Flamengo's helm is its defensive solidity . Under his leadership, the team has not been defeated this season, and Rossi is largely responsible for this. The Argentine goalkeeper is having a consistent year , with decisive performances and an impressive streak of clean sheets.


According to a survey released by the club this Tuesday (7), Rossi reached seven consecutive games without conceding goals in 2025 and established himself as the athlete with the most matches in the season, totaling 51 appearances so far.


ROSSI'S NUMBERS IN 2025

  • 6 penalties saved in 14 shots
  • 42% penalty success rate
  • 7 consecutive matches without conceding a goal
  • 29 clean sheets (games without conceding a goal)
  • 28 goals conceded in total for the season


The term "clean sheet" originated in the Premier League and is used to define when a goalkeeper finishes a match without conceding a goal , and Rossi has already achieved this feat in 29 of his 51 matches this year for the "Mais Querido" (The Most Beloved). The only performance in which the number 1 conceded more goals was against Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup in June. On that occasion, Flamengo lost 4-2 in the round of 16 of the competition.

NEXT CHALLENGE


With Rossi on a high and a mainstay in the squad, Flamengo returns to the field on October 15th to face Botafogo at 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view), Record TV (open channel) and Cazé TV (YouTube).
