Despite the 1-0 victory over Deportivo Táchira (VEN) and qualification for the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Flamengo was once again the target of criticism from fans — this time, for its lack of boldness in long-range shots. Filipe Luís ' team only attempted four shots from outside the area in the match at Maracanã.
When asked about the subject, the coach explained that the lack of long-range shots is more due to the characteristics of the players in the squad than to a tactical issue. It is worth remembering that Flamengo loaned Carlos Alcaraz , known as a player who often takes risks, to Everton (ING) and may negotiate him permanently in the mid-year window.
The player is the one who makes the decision within the game..."
“Regarding shots from outside the area, these are characteristics of the players . We have Luiz Araújo and Pedro , who have this ability. The others are more associative, have less power in their shots, don’t feel as comfortable or don’t have clear space to finish. And when the opponent blocks the shot from outside the area, other spaces open up, ” said the coach.
Filipe also highlighted that all scenarios are trained at Ninho do Urubu, but that the final decision is always made by the athletes on the field: “ We train everything: shots from inside and outside the area , one-twos… The player is the one who makes the decision within the game”, he added.
In the same interview, Filipe downplayed Arrascaeta 's absence in the first leg of the round of 16. The Uruguayan received his third yellow card when he tried to win a penalty in the first half and is suspended for the next match. "For Arrascaeta , there is never an excuse. Neither injury nor suspension. We have qualified players who can play a great game without him," he concluded.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
Mengão will start selling tickets for the next three home matches in the Brasileirão on Monday (4).
