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.

Palmeiras x Flamengo was another game that marked a pitched battle for classification. The two teams that have won the most cups in Brazil in recent years continue to measure forces, and Rubro-Negro decided to place in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil playing at Allianz Parque. But the match was full of controversies. However, Abel Ferreira's obscene gesture is not one of them, but Palmeiras president Leila Pereira complains anyway.
The gesture is clear, and the expulsion was fair. But Leila Pereira gave an interview in the mixed zone, claiming that the decision was arbitrary and exaggerated. Despite stating that she does not complain about arbitration, the president made the complaint anyway. Furthermore, the attack on Flamengo came next.
For Leila Pereira, Anderson Daronco's patience with Flamengo was “obscene”. She complains about the Flamengo wax, forgetting what Palmeiras did at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
“I usually don't make refereeing comments to journalists. Regarding Abel's expulsion, I found it very arbitrary, I found it very harsh. Obscene gesture? What I found obscene was the patience that the referee had during stoppages, during waxing, I found that obscene. The little addition that was made. But I don't like complaining about refereeing, it looks like I'm complaining. And never. When I need to complain, I go straight to the CBF. But in Abel’s case, I found it very strict”, says Leila Pereira.

According to her, there is no pre-contract signed with the player and any news in this regard is false. Leila emphasized that, despite the desire to have Gabigol in the squad from 2025 onwards, there are no ongoing negotiations or signed documents.
“We do not have any pre-contract. Whoever said this is lying, we don't have any documents. With both Gabigol and another great player, Palmeiras is interested. At the moment, there is nothing signed or negotiations underway”, said Leila Pereira.

Since arriving at Corinthians, he has stood out for his confident and decisive performances, gaining the trust of the fans and the coaching staff. Now, he is preparing to face a new challenge in European football.
FLAMENGO ALMOST HIRED THE GOALKEEPER
Carlos Miguel's decision to transfer to Nottingham Forest it wasn't sudden. Since the beginning of negotiations, the goalkeeper has shown interest in playing abroad, especially in the Premier League, known for its competitiveness and global visibility. Nottingham Forest, in turn, sees Carlos Miguel as a significant reinforcement for the team, which seeks to consolidate itself in the first division of English football.
The goalkeeper's departure represents a significant loss for Corinthians. In recent years, Carlos Miguel has been a key player in the team's defense, contributing to several important victories. His presence in goal conveyed security not only to the defense, but to the entire team, and his absence will be felt.
On the other hand, Carlos Miguel's transfer also brings financial benefits to the São Paulo club. With the amount of 4 million euros that will be received from the termination fine, Corinthians will be able to invest in new reinforcements and in the club's structure, aiming to strengthen the squad for the next competitions.
