With a history of achievements for Flamengoas a player, Filipe Luís can begin a new successful phase, now as a coach. If Mengão confirms the Copa do Brasil title against Atlético-MG, Filipe will become the fastest coach to win a title for the club this century, adding just nine matches to the fifth championship, surpassing the mark by Ney Franco, who won the same competition in 2006 after 12 games.
Both Ney and Filipe arrived with the mission of winning the Copa do Brasil, but under different contexts. Ney took over the team shortly after being eliminated by Flamengoin the semi-final of the national competition, when he was coaching Ipatinga . He led Rubro-Negro at a time of financial difficulties and a cast without stars. Filipe, on the other hand, has a strong squad and took over the team in the semi-finals, with more time to prepare the team.
Just as Ney Franco surprised by testing a 3-6-1 with the aim of exploiting the attacking potential of the full-backs Léo Moura and Juan, Filipe brought a tactical innovation, aligning the team in an offensive 4-3-3 in the first game of the final. The strategy bore fruit, enhancing Gabigol's talent, and Flamengowon 3-1, dominating Atlético-MG and demonstrating solidity in both attack and defense.
“Flamengo had never played like that, and it was essential that we did some secret training. We managed to do this at a time when Ninho do Urubu was not used by Flamengo's main team. In Gávea, it would be impossible to do closed training. At the time, it was unacceptable for a club the size of Flamengo to hold training sessions without the presence of the press. And we did that”, stated Ney Franco in an interview with the 'GE' portal in 2022.
Now, Filipe Luís finds himself in a prominent position, with the chance to begin a journey of titles on the edge of the pitch for the club he defended so much as a player.

Flamengo has been acting more cautiously this season in relation to the movement in the transfer market. So far, few signings have been made, among them the arrival of striker Juninho, from Qarabag, in Azerbaijan.
However, the player's situation at the Rio de Janeiro club may be about to change. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, two teams from Saudi Arabia are interested in signing the player in the next transfer window.
SAUDI CLUBS ANALYZE LOAN
Clubs Al-Riyadh and Najran SC have formalized inquiries to Mais Querido , with the intention of acquiring the striker on loan. According to the information, both clubs indicated the possibility of paying a financial compensation “considered advantageous” to the Brazilian club, if the agreement is completed.
The red-black board, given the scenario , is studying the viability of the negotiation. The athlete's performance and planning for the rest of the season are factors that are being taken into account by the directors.
JUNINHO IS INTERESTED IN THE TRANSFER
According to Casagrande, Juninho has shown interest in playing in Saudi football and is open to a deal with one of the two teams. However, the player's representatives believe that the negotiations will not be easy, especially due to the demands and conditions imposed by Mengão .

Wednesday (02) was marked by intense movements behind the scenes at Flamengo. Striker Pedro, the club's number 9, stood out in the news after rumors of a possible negotiation involving the player. The interest in his departure, initially published by the UOL portal, was promptly denied by the red-black board, which issued an official statement denying the story.
In addition to the repercussion of the news, Pedro stood out for a relevant feat: he is currently the only Brazilian player to have reached the mark of 70 or more goals in the last three years , consolidating his name as one of the most lethal in national football.
CLUB BOARD MAINTAINS POSITION
The club's initial position is to keep Pedro in the squad , with the player at coach Filipe Luís' disposal for the rest of the season. However, the board does not rule out evaluating offers that may be received for the striker, as well as for other players in the squad.
Internally, the board recognizes the athlete's value on the international scene and understands that a good offer could change future plans. The possible departure, however, would depend on financial and strategic factors , respecting the mutual interest between club and player.
PEDRO'S STAFF SEES FAVORABLE SCENARIO
While the club remains cautious, the player's staff is optimistic about the transfer market. As Coluna do Fla has learned, there is an expectation that foreign clubs will make offers for Pedro in the next transfer window, which could further increase speculation about a possible exit.
The striker's good moment, combined with his impressive numbers, means he is being closely watched by foreign clubs, especially in Europe and Saudi Arabia, markets that tend to move large numbers.

RIVAL SCORES TWO QUICK GOALS AFTER HALF TIME
Just two minutes into the second half, Yuri Leles opened the scoring for the home team. Bragantino extended their lead with Cauê in the 14th minute, taking advantage of a defensive failure. Mengão responded in the 24th minute, after Gusttavo was awarded a penalty in a play created by Guilherme. Iago converted the shot with determination, displacing the goalkeeper to reduce the score.

Flamengo still had another chance with Felipe Teresa, who dribbled past the goalkeeper, but shot wide.
