The decision of coach Dorival Júnior to test the steering wheel in a new function was partly influenced by Filipe Luís, current commander of the most beloved. After the 1-0 win over Vasco, the red-black coach said that his tactical choice may have facilitated the work of the hopscotch coach , as he used the more back shirt 8, similar to what Dorival intends to do on the national team. Field was strategic. The coach said he wanted to maintain a more aggressive attack and therefore retreated the midfielder. This tactical movement turned out to be positive not only for the CRF, but also for the Brazilian team, which should use it the same way.

In addition to being cast as a second steering wheel, he has already played the role of central point guard, a function that usually belongs to Arrascaeta.

Flamengo confirmed that defender Danilo will also be fined internally after his expulsion in the defeat to Bahia, in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, this Sunday (5), at Arena Fonte Nova. The club follows an internal disciplinary regulation that establishes different levels of punishment according to the nature of the infraction.
According to the club's protocol, there are clear distinctions between the types of red cards issued: one for a tactical foul is treated differently than one for recklessness, necessity, or unnecessary behavior. Each situation receives a specific penalty level . This information comes from the Coluna do Fla website.
Therefore, the punishment for Danilo , whose expulsion was considered the result of a reckless play, will be lighter , while that of Wallace Yan, expelled for a complaint and a minor assault in sequence, tends to be more severe.
In the 12th minute of the first half, Danilo lifted his foot too high during a dispute for the ball and hit Bahia striker Tiago in the face , who had anticipated the play. Referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima showed a straight red card, leaving Flamengo with ten men down early in the match.
Along with Danilo, striker Wallace Yan was also sent off in the second half . He came on in the 22nd minute and was removed from the game ten minutes later after receiving two yellow cards: the first for protesting and the second for hitting Bahia's Gilberto in the face.
As this is conduct considered unnecessary and avoidable, the player will be subject to a higher level of punishment within the club's internal regulations , resulting in a heavier fine.
Having not played since the beginning of 2025, the defender has been training in isolation at Ninho do Urubu following a decision by the board following a technical veto in the current season.

34-year-old defender Pablo is in a delicate situation at Flamengo. Since the beginning of 2025, he has been training separately from the main squad , after coach Filipe Luís announced that he would not be counting on him for the season. The defender trains at CT Ninho do Urubu, at alternate times, and has not played an official match since the opening games of the Campeonato Carioca.
With a contract valid until December 2025, Pablo was released to look for a new club, but decided to fulfill his contract. The way the release was handled, however, sparked internal discussions and could result in legal action by the player, according to sources close to the athlete.
Since January, Pablo has been following a physical and technical training schedule under the supervision of the medical department and the performance committee. He uses the facilities at Ninho do Urubu, including the gym and auxiliary fields , but without interacting with the main squad.
On social media, the defender has been sharing snapshots of his daily routine, highlighting his resilience and professionalism. Even while on leave, he avoids making public statements about the situation, emphasizing his desire to continue working until the end of his contract.
The handling of the case has drawn attention from sports law experts. Although the dismissal does not, in itself, constitute a breach of contract, lawyers point out that the player could claim indirect termination if there were evidence of moral harassment or lack of adequate working conditions.
However, as the club keeps its payments up to date and offers training facilities, Flamengo is likely to be legally protected. Similar cases, such as that of former midfielder Zé Roberto at Grêmio, have already been dismissed by courts. The club, for its part, is monitoring the situation but does not rule out a legal outcome at the end of the contract if an amicable termination agreement is not reached.
