EX-FLAMENGO REVEALS THAT HE NEVER HAD MANY OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE TEAM DURING HIS PASSAGE

Flamengo is one of the teams in Brazil that best treats its young players, so much so that many are currently shining on the world stage, such as Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Paquetá and João Gomes, from the Brazilian team. These players are examples of how the red and black base can boost successful international careers. However, not everyone who passes through Flamengo manages to achieve the same level of recognition and success, leaving the impression that some talents may have been "unjustified" for various reasons.
An emblematic case is that of Carlos Miguel, who was recently announced by Nottingham Forest, in England. The Europeans paid 4 million euros, the equivalent of R$23.6 million to Corinthians for the archer. Standing 2.04 meters tall, Carlos Miguel demonstrated enormous potential in the opportunities he had with the São Paulo team, raising questions about why he didn't get a similar chance at Flamengo.
Carlos Miguel had a spell at Flamengo at the base, playing in 2016. "I played for Flamengo at the base, I played in 2016. It was during this period that we won the Copa São Paulo, alongside (Lucas) Paquetá, (Felipe) Vizeu, among other boys", began the former Timão goalkeeper. Despite his contributions, he was unable to establish himself in the first team. The goalkeeper highlighted that competition and opportunity management may have influenced his development.
“The starting goalkeeper was Thiago, I was part of the team. João Lopes and Gabriel Batista were also part of the team, as well as Neneca (Hugo Souza)", said Carlos Miguel, in an interview with communicator Benjamin Back's podcast. Carlos Miguel explained that, despite his potential, the lack of opportunities was a decisive factor in his decision to leave Flamengo. "I was born in 1998, Gabriel Batista and I are the same age. I didn't have many opportunities to play, while he did. Then the opportunity arose to go to Internacional, where there was no goalkeeper born in 98 at that time", he added .
Carlos Miguel's choice to go to Internacional was motivated by the search for more playing opportunities. “In the youth categories, age is often a determining factor. So, I decided to go to Inter, believing that I would have more chances there”, explained the goalkeeper. At Internacional, he hoped to have more chances to show his talent, something that seemed limited at Flamengo. However, his departure from Parque São Jorge was also not without criticism, demonstrating the challenges faced by young athletes in search of affirmation in football.
It is worth remembering that Hugo Souza, known as Neneca, who was mentioned in the interview, was precisely chosen to replace the recently signed by Nottingham Forest and arrived at Parque São Jorge on loan until the end of 2024. The trajectory of Carlos Miguel and other young Flamengo talents highlights the complexity of the transition from youth to professional categories, and how factors such as opportunities and career management can influence the success of young promises in Brazilian football.

Flamengo x Fluminense (20/07) – Classic for the Brazilian Championship
Flamengo x Atlético-MG (27/07) – Key game in the fight for the top of the table
Flamengo x Atlético-MG (31/07) – Confrontation for the round of 16 of the Brazilian Cup
Flamengo x Internacional (13/08) – Direct duel for a place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores
FLAMENGO HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS

The system will follow the staggered pattern already used in previous matches, respecting the category and the order of priority defined in the membership contract. Flamengo reinforces that the purchase can be made online, through the club's official website and through the partner sales platform, with the possibility of payment by card or Pix.
With the team still alive in the three main fronts of the season, the expectation is that Maracanã will receive an audience of over 60 thousand fans in each of the matches. In particular, the classic with Fluminense and the game against Internacional, for the Libertadores, should concentrate the biggest demand.

Gerson leaves CT Ninho do Urubu without saying goodbye to his Flamengo teammates
Without attending the squad's return and without saying goodbye to his teammates and coaching staff, the player ends his second stint at Gávea in a cold manner.

The deal was concluded directly. Zenit, which had shown interest in strengthening its midfield, officially signed Gerson with full payment of the termination clause . The amount, 25 million euros (approximately R$146 million at the current exchange rate), was paid in cash, with no installments or pending payments.
This operation facilitated the immediate release of the athlete, who did not return to the squad on Friday. Rubro-Negro, in turn, issued a statement confirming the transfer and thanking him for his services.
FLAMENGO WILL HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT LOSS
The midfielder has already scheduled a trip to Russia, where he will be officially presented as a Zenit reinforcement in the coming days . The Russian club sees Gerson as a key player to reinforce the midfield with a view to competing in European and domestic competitions. This will be Gerson's second experience in Europe since leaving Flamengo for the first time, in 2021, when he transferred to Olympique de Marseille.
EXIT THROUGH THE BACK DOORS
Unlike the first farewell, which included tributes on FlaTV and a positive atmosphere, the current departure was marked by coldness. According to an investigation by journalist Venê Casagrande, from “SBT Rio”, the player chose not to say goodbye to his teammates or the coaching staff . Internally, the episode was interpreted as a gesture of discontent with the club's current situation and with his own physical and technical condition, since Gerson had not been performing well and was even the target of criticism from the fans.
Since his return to Flamengo in 2023, Gerson has not been able to return to the high level of performances he had in 2019 and 2020. Between injuries and fluctuations, he lost his place in important moments of the season. The drop in performance, combined with strong competition in the midfield, fueled the player's desire to seek new horizons. Internal sources indicate that the player had been showing signs of fatigue and dissatisfaction with the environment. The early elimination from the Club World Cup was another factor that weighed on his decision to leave the club.
