On another occasion, after a tight 3-2 victory over Internacional at Maracanã, Filipe Luís emphasized the quality of Colorado, who had gone 16 games unbeaten. He highlighted players such as Alan Patrick, Thiago Maia, Enner Valencia and Wesley, emphasizing the difficulty imposed by the opponent during the match.
FORTRESS AS A RESILIENT ADVERSARY
The goalless draw against Fortaleza at Castelão was also the subject of analysis by the coach. Filipe acknowledged the defensive solidity of Leão do Pici, especially in home games, and explained his offensive strategy to try to overcome the opposing defense against Flamengo last Saturday.
BAHIA AND ITS EFFICIENT BALL OUTPUT
After a 2-0 victory over Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, Filipe Luís pointed out Tricolor Baiano as the most difficult team to pressure in Brazil, praising the quality of the midfield and the efficiency in the ball out under the command of Rogério Ceni. In the debut of the 2025 Brasileirão, Flamengo drew 1-1 with Internacional at Maracanã . Filipe Luís praised Colorado's attacking stance and acknowledged the difficulty of pressuring a team with such technical quality.
Filipe Luís has emphasized the difference in level between the Campeonato Carioca and the Brasileirão, comparing the latter to European football in terms of competitiveness and tactical demands, and highlighting the need for adaptation to achieve regularity throughout the 38 rounds. In addition to the challenges on the national scene, Flamengo , under the command of Filipe Luís, is preparing for its debuts in international competitions, such as the Libertadores, where it will face opponents from different football schools, requiring tactical and strategic versatility.
Filipe Luís's public recognition of the quality of his opponents demonstrates a respectful and analytical approach, seeking to learn lessons from each match to improve Flamengo's performance in the competitions it competes in. Filipe Luís 's approach reflects a commitment to the continuous evolution of Mengão, valuing the challenges posed by high-level opponents as opportunities for growth and strengthening of the team.
The striker was officially reported by the STJD on Friday and could be preventively suspended, in addition to being banned from football for up to two years.

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) Prosecutor's Office has charged Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique with alleged match-fixing. In response, the number 27's defense issued a statement to the 'Coluna do Fla' portal, refuting the accusation.
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The athlete's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed."
Despite the complaint, Bruno Henrique remains free to play until the case is judged and should be included normally for the game between Flamengo and Ceará, this Sunday (3), at 6:30 pm, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão, at Arena Castelão.
The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
The complaint will still be analyzed, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.
José Boto and Filipe Luís still see the need to have two more athletes to strengthen Mengão's squad for the sequence

Flamengo's transfer window isn't over yet . Football director José Boto is still looking for two specific reinforcements to further strengthen the squad led by Filipe Luís . The club has already signed five players, but the board believes there are still gaps to be filled. This information comes from the 'GE' portal.
The main movement continues to be for Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltrán . A deal with the Italian club is already in place, and now the only thing left to do is convince the player. The Argentine, who was initially reluctant about a return to South American football, is beginning to welcome the club's offer .
In addition to a striker, Flamengo is seeking another defender. The need has been evident in recent games. With Danilo injured, only Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira remain as reliable options . Since Filipe Luís rarely uses the youngsters from the youth academy, the starting duo's fatigue has been noticeable—especially in the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, where their physical and mental fatigue was evident in the goal conceded. Although signing a defender is not considered a priority, the topic is being discussed internally, and José Boto is evaluating options on the market.
Flamengo still has time to finalize new deals. The transfer window in Brazil opened on July 10th and will remain open until September 2nd. Despite this, the board believes that the sooner the reinforcements are finalized , the sooner coach Filipe Luís will be able to count on a full squad.
So far, the club has signed five players : Saúl Ñíguez and Samuel Lino, both from Atlético Madrid; Emerson Royal, a right-back from Milan; Jorginho, a former Arsenal midfielder, signed during the Club World Cup transfer window; and Jorge Carrascal, a Colombian midfielder from Dynamo Moscow, who is already in Rio and should be officially confirmed soon. With the transfer window open until early September, more news is expected in the coming days.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
