Champion of the Libertadores and Brasileirão in 2019, Jorge Jesus' Flamengo entered the history of Brazilian football with its great performance on the field. However, in the view of player Bernardo, ex-Vasco, the 'Mister' team is inferior to the rival's squad in 2011, which won the Copa do Brasil.
VASCO IN 2011 AGAINST HISTORICAL TEAMS, IN BERNARDO'S VISION:
– Fluminense 2012: Vasco better
– Corinthians 2012: Corinthians better
– São Paulo 2008: Vasco better
– Palmeiras 2020: Vasco better
– Santos 2011: Vasco better
– Cruzeiro 2013: Cruzeiro better
– Atlético-MG 2013: Atlético-MG better
– Botafogo 2023: Vasco better
– Grêmio 2017: Grêmio better
– Internacional 2006: Vasco better
– Flamengo 2019: Vasco best
Flamengo 2019: Diego Alves, Rafinha, Rodrigo Caio, Pablo Marí and Filipe Luís; Willian Arão, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Everton Ribeiro, Bruno Henrique and Gabigol.
Vasco 2011: Fernando Prass, Allan, Dedé, Anderson Martins and Ramon; Eduardo Costa, Rômulo, Felipe, Diego Souza; Eder Luís and Alecsandro.
In an interview with ESPN Brasil, Bernardo, currently 34 years old and wearing the colors of URT-MG, participated in a challenge in which he had to say whether Vasco in 2011 was better or worse than historic Brazilian football teams. In addition to stating that the rival was above Flamengo in 2019, the midfielder placed Cruzmaltino above squads such as Neymar's Santos, champion of the 2011 Libertadores, Palmeiras winner of the 2020 Libertadores, and São Paulo, the Brazilian tri in 2008.< /p>
The exalted Vasco of 2011 couldn't even reach the final of the Campeonato Carioca. On that occasion, Flamengo won the cup after winning both rounds – Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio. In the first, Rubro-Negro beat Boavista in the decision, with a great free kick from Ronaldinho. In the second, São Januário's rival reached the decision, but lost to Mengão on penalties. On the other hand, Bernardo's team, which was a reserve that season, was runner-up in the Brasileirão and triumphed in the Copa do Brasil.
On the other hand, Flamengo in 2019 just didn't win the Copa do Brasil on the continent . In the first semester, Mais Querido won Carioca. In the second half of the season, Jorge Jesus arrived and lifted the Libertadores and Brasileirão on the same weekend. Just as the 2019 team is superior against Vasco from 2011, in current times, Flamengo also shows superiority. After all, in the last clash between the teams, Fla scored 6-1 against their rival. Furthermore, Mengão is the leader, and the rival is one point above the relegation zone in the Brasileirão.
After leaving Mais Querido in 2024 and remaining free on the market, the Brazilian coach is the target of several clubs and national teams across the world of football.

After leading the Brazilian national team in two World Cups, Tite arrived at Flamengo in 2023 with high expectations. However, despite a record of 70 matches, 41 wins, 13 draws, and 16 losses , the team's performance and the coaching choices were criticized by fans and management. His last game in charge was a 1-0 victory over Athletico-PR, with a goal by Gerson.
With Tite's departure, Filipe Luís took over as Flamengo's coach and has been one of the highlights of the 2025 season . The former full-back has received praise for his work at the club, while Tite remains a free agent, attracting interest from South American clubs and national teams.
According to GE reporter Bruno Cassucci, the Venezuelan Football Federation has opened talks with Tite to take over the team's leadership during the World Cup qualifiers . The goal is to leverage the Brazilian coach's experience to lead the country through the cycle until 2030.
According to Cassucci, Tite must undergo knee surgery before making a final decision about his career. Even so, the Venezuelan Federation doesn't see the surgery as an obstacle, as the South American qualifiers are on hold after the last FIFA World Cup.
