After almost 7 months away from the field, defender Rodrigo Caio saw, together with coach Tite, the opportunity for a new start at Flamengo. The player has been part of the Rubro-Negro squad since 2019, but the last time he played in a match was in April this year. Since then, he had been carrying out work at Ninho do Urubu and serving only as an option on the bench.
With the contract nearing the end, Flamengo has already decided that they do not want to renew the player. However, the soap opera 'R. Caio', may have new chapters thanks to Tite. According to findings by journalist Pablo Raphael, from Gazeta do Urubu, the player is pleased with the coach, who will be ultimately responsible for the athlete's renewal.
''About Rodrigo Caio: I asked people within Flamengo about the player's renewal status. The board's idea was not to renew the athlete, but who will have the last word on this will be Tite, who is aware that the club no longer has the number 3 player.'', said the journalist.
In the confrontation against Fortaleza, last Sunday (05/11), the number 3 completed 150 games with the red and black shirt and celebrated the opportunities that the new coach has provided him.
“I have always been very well physically, training hard and prepared to help, but, unfortunately, I did not receive opportunities with the previous commission. Now, with the arrival of Professor Tite, I had these two opportunities and I believe I showed that I am ready to help our team” declared Rodrigo Caio.
The new technical committee, upon realizing that the player was in rhythm game, opted to reinstate Rodrigo to the starting lineup, seeking to demonstrate to the fans that he still has the ability to perform at a high level.
“As I said, I had been training at high intensity for a long time and I am ready to help. I have a lot of confidence in my potential and I know very well what I can deliver on the field for our team and our coach,” he said.

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.
