Filipe Luís surprised last Tuesday (26) by climbing Flamengowith four attackers in the confrontation against Fortaleza, in the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the offensive strategy, Rubro-Negro was unable to break through the opponent's defense, and the game ended 0-0 at Arena Castelão.
“If you identified me with static variations, it means I take it as a compliment. Because we really have many variations, many details within the game, depending on the opponent we face. And today my lineup is simple: I went up. Coming here to Fortaleza, a team that hadn't lost at home all year, and still hasn't lost, I believed that the only way to beat them would be to attack< /b> and trying to get at them. I tried to take advantage of Plata, which is in a great moment”, said the coach in the post-match press conference.
Bold lineup and expulsion impact the game
The red-black coach bet on an offensive quartet formed by Bruno Henrique, Gabigol, Michael and Gonzalo Plata, taking advantage of the Ecuadorian's good moment. Flamengo dominated the offensive actions, but the expulsion of midfielder Erick Pulgar forced the team to retreat and reorganize the midfield, making the search for a goal difficult.
“With the lack of Evertton (Araújo) and Nico (De la Cruz ), who is returning from injury, I took the opportunity to use Gerson there, a midfielder who can also be more of an attacking man. And we tried to explore more or less the points we believed we could against Fortaleza, which is a team that defends very well, blocks the middle a lot. We tried to dismantle their defense a little to be able to hurt them. It's not easy, as I said, it's a team that won't lose at home, but not only that, it was third or fourth in the championship on its own merits”, he concluded.
Match statistics
According to the Sofascore portal, Flamengo had:
61% ball possession, against 39% for Fortaleza;
16 shots, with six great scoring chances.
Fortaleza, led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda, had seven shots and prioritized defense to contain the red-black momentum.

Striker expresses dissatisfaction with lack of minutes at Raposa and could reinforce Corinthians in 2026; cost-benefit pleases São Paulo board

Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, is experiencing a period of uncertainty at Cruzeiro. A reserve under Leonardo Jardim, the striker has already publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of minutes. " I'm looking for minutes, he (Leonardo Jardim) knows that ," he said after scoring the winning goal against Bahia last Monday (15).
According to information from journalist Jorge Nicola, Corinthians appears as a possible destination for the number 9 , former Flamengo player, who could be negotiated in 2026 if nothing changes until the end of the season.
The current Corinthians board sees Gabigol as an interesting opportunity, especially when compared to Dutchman Memphis Depay. According to the survey, Depay earns R$6 million per month, while the Cruzeiro striker's salary is R$2.4 million . Furthermore, the Brazilian is 31 years old, two years younger than the European.
The "courtship" between Corinthians and Gabigol isn't recent . There have been at least three previous negotiations. Internally at Cruzeiro, there's an understanding that the player's departure could be beneficial for both parties, as he arrived as a star and now plays a supporting role.
Gabigol arrived at Cruzeiro on a free transfer after ending his stint with Flamengo. He has a four-year contract with the Minas Gerais club and has so far played 35 matches, scored 12 goals , and provided four assists.
An idol for the Rubro-Negro, the striker wrote one of the most successful chapters in Flamengo's recent history. Between 2019 and 2023, he played 308 matches, scored 161 goals, and won 13 titles , including two Copa Libertadores da América titles. His most memorable moment came in the 2019 final against River Plate, when he scored two decisive goals, cementing his nickname "Immortal Rubro-Negro."
Labor court judge sees 'delaying intent' in Mengão's decision to appeal against employee who was on duty on the day of the fire

Flamengo lost again in the lawsuit filed by Benedito Ferreira , the club's former security guard who worked during the fire at Ninho do Urubu in 2019. In the first instance, the professional won the right to receive compensation of R$600,000, including R$100,000 for moral damages and R$500,000 for material damages , in addition to a lifetime pension until the age of 78. Rubro-Negro can still appeal the decision.
Labor judge Bruno Andrade de Macedo imposed a 2% fine when he rejected Flamengo 's motion for clarification against the previous ruling. According to the judge, the motions were used with a "clearly delaying intent," unjustifiably delaying the delivery of the judicial decision and violating the principles of speed and efficiency.
Benedito Ferreira helped rescue at least three victims during the Ninho do Urubu fire, which killed 10 young people from Flamengo 's youth academy in February 2019. He was fired in 2022, after working at the club since 2008, and filed two lawsuits against the institution , one while still an employee, demanding labor, social security and civil rights.
The main allegation is that Flamengo failed to register his dismissal with the INSS (National Institute of Social Security) due to the fire . The judge emphasized that, even if Benedito were reinstated in a different role, this would not eliminate his right to a monthly pension, considering the total reduction in his capacity to perform his previous role.
The case included a medical examination that found that Benedito suffers from Depressive Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, and Panic Disorder , with worsening symptoms and suicidal ideation. The report also concluded that the pathologies are occupational in origin, with a causal or concausal link between the injuries and his work at Flamengo.
The judge also considered Benedito's dismissal a "wrongful act," as the club was aware of the medical treatment required for the occupational injury . The expert stated that the security guard is "unfit with restrictions for the work he performed at the Defendant or any similar work," demonstrating a loss of fitness for his original role.
