Whenever he comes in, he gets the job done." - said Filipe Luis about Varela
Filipe was direct when talking about the Uruguayan . According to him, Varela is one of those rare players that every coach would like to have on the team. “Whenever he comes on, he gets the job done. He plays on the right and on the left, with the same efficiency. It’s hard to leave him out, because he always delivers. He puts the team above everything else,” commented the manager of Mais Querido.
Originally a right-back, Varela has been increasingly used on the left side of the field. In the match against Vasco, for example, he came on to replace Ayrton Lucas, who had to be substituted after suffering cramps in the second half. The change did not compromise the team's defensive performance, which reinforces the versatility of the number 2.
With the red-black delegation already on Ecuadorian soil for the match against LDU, in the Libertadores, Varela emerges once again as an important option. Without Alex Sandro, who remains out with a thigh edema, the left-back position should be occupied by Ayrton Lucas. However, if he is not in ideal condition, the Uruguayan should be named as a starter.
In addition to his dedication on the field, the Uruguayan offers the coach important alternatives within the game strategy. His ability to play on different sides of the field allows tactical adjustments without the need for major changes to the team, something that has been valued by Filipe Luís in recent matches. Even though he is not a regular starter, Varela has shown a professional and committed attitude . The way he assumes different roles on the field without complaining has been pointed out behind the scenes as an example for the other athletes. He has already been one of the standouts in other matches under Filipe, always with solid and disciplined performances.

In search of another victory to maintain the lead in the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo is already scheduled to face Vitória this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match is valid for the 21st round of the national competition and promises to be decisive for the fight for the title.
Coach Filipe Luís confirmed that the starting lineup will include: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Saúl, Arrascaeta, Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro . This lineup reinforces the Rubro-Negro's strongest team, which currently has 43 points and leads the table.
The only confirmed absence is Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from a fractured right foot suffered at the Club World Cup, an injury that required surgery. Otherwise, Filipe Luís has virtually his entire squad available for tonight's match.
This round could change the top of the table. Mengão leads with 43 points, two ahead of Cruzeiro , who won this round and reached 41. Palmeiras, with 39 points, still has a chance to close the gap. A victory is crucial for Mengão to maintain its lead.
The match between Flamengo and Vitória takes place at 9 p.m. at the Maracanã Stadium, with live coverage on SporTV (subscription TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view). While Flamengo is looking to solidify its lead, Vitória is aiming to earn points to climb out of the relegation zone.

After being left out of the last few matches due to a technical option, Matías Viña has been included in Flamengo's squad again . The Uruguayan returns for the Mais Querido's match against Vitória this Monday (25) at Maracanã, at a crucial moment in the season, in which the team seeks to maintain its lead in the Brazilian Championship and prepare for decisions in the Copa Libertadores.
Viña on his return to the pitch at Flamengo: "Happy for the first victory and for the return"
Viña underwent a long recovery process from an injury that kept him out of action for nine months . In June, the number 17 returned to the squad and, at the time, emphasized the need to adapt to the rhythm of the game.
"Happy with the first victory and the return. After months, I started playing longer. I spoke to Filipe and said I was tired, my legs were heavy. I stayed a little further back, which isn't my style , but it was good," said the full-back.
With a string of important matches ahead, the full-back could gain new opportunities and contribute his experience to bolster the red-and-black defense. Recently, coach Filipe Luís admitted that his absence from the squad list was a technical decision.
Despite his limited playing time, Viña's return represents another opportunity for Filipe Luís to build his team in a schedule that promises to be crucial for Flamengo . Against Vitória, the full-back is hoping to start and earn crucial minutes for his future.
With a nearly complete squad, Filipe Luís's team is looking for an important victory to stay at the top, while their rivals from Bahia are trying to get out of the Z-4.
