Flamengo is still going strong in the 2025 season, demonstrating high-level football. The team, which has already won the Brazilian Super Cup and the Campeonato Carioca, has not known defeat so far. In addition to the titles won, the squad has been praised for its collective and individual performance, with emphasis on midfielder Gerson, who is considered one of coach Filipe Luís' key players. The player, who was called up to the Brazilian National Team, has been standing out more and more and has received high praise from Roberto Rivellino, a former player for the National Team.
RIVELINO EXALTS GERSON
During an interview with former player Muller, Roberto Rivellino made a point of highlighting Gerson as the best player currently active in Brazilian football. "Today I see Gerson. Impressive. I really like Gerson. Despite Estêvão, who has another characteristic, Gerson is a regular, an absolute starter for the Brazilian National Team. If not him, who will be?", commented Rivellino. The former player showed great admiration for the way the midfielder has stood out at Flamengo, considering him the most complete athlete in national football.
FLAMENGO IN CARIOCA 2025
In the state competition, Flamengo has been unbeatable. The team finished the qualifying phase of the Campeonato Carioca in the lead, also winning the Taça Guanabara. During the 11 rounds of the group stage, the team achieved seven wins, two draws and only two losses, with an impressive performance, scoring 25 goals and conceding only five.
In the semifinals, Flamengo had a decisive performance by eliminating Vasco. The Rubro-Negro achieved consistent victories in both games and showed its dominance over Rio de Janeiro football. In the grand final against Fluminense, Flamengo did not disappoint and, in the first game, won 2-1. The second match ended in a 0-0 draw, guaranteeing the title for the Mais Querido.
With a season full of achievements so far, Flamengo relies on the stability and consistency of Gerson , who has proven to be a fundamental pillar in the midfield. Alongside other quality athletes, such as Juninho and Bruno Henrique, Gerson has stood out for his ability to control the pace of the game and, above all, his leadership on the field. His style of play, which combines refined technique and consistency, makes him one of the best in Brazil today.
