Flamengo fans are excited about the work Filipe Luís has done leading the team. An idol on the field, the former full-back quickly earned respect as a coach, accumulating titles and demonstrating consistent performance since taking over the team. Since the beginning of his career as Mengão coach, Filipe Luís has already lifted three important trophies : Copa do Brasil, Taça Guanabara and Campeonato Carioca. In addition, his only defeat came last season, against Fluminense, which reinforces the solidity of his work.
NEW ERA MAKES FANS FORGET JORGE JESUS
With Flamengo in good form under Filipe Luís, the Red-Black Nation seems to have left behind the nostalgia of the Jorge Jesus era. The Portuguese coach was responsible for a victorious period between 2019 and 2020, but his unexpected departure left a mark of frustration among fans. Since then, speculation about a possible return of JJ has surfaced at different times, but it never came to fruition. Now, with Filipe Luís, the scenario has changed. The board and fans see him as a name capable of leading the team to new achievements and maintaining stability at the club.
BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM KEEPING AN EYE ON FILIPE LUÍS
In recent days, Filipe Luís' name has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Dorival Júnior in the Brazilian National Team . The coach of the Canarinho is going through an unstable moment, and his departure has been debated both on social media and behind the scenes at the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Given this scenario, the possibility of an attempt by the CBF has worried part of the Flamengo fans, who fear losing the coach in the middle of the season. Speculation grew quickly, leading the board of directors of the Mais Querido to evaluate the situation and take a position on the matter.
According to Romario Junior of Bola Vip, despite the rumors, the CRF board believes that Filipe Luís will not accept an invitation to coach the Brazilian National Team at this time. The internal understanding is that the coach is fully focused on the red-black project and intends to continue the work he has been developing. This conviction brings relief to the fans, who want the coach to stay and see in him the potential to consolidate a new victorious era.
Confidence in Filipe Luís's work is high, and expectations are that he will continue to lead the team for a long time. With the backing of the board and the support of the fans, Flamengo continues its trajectory under the command of the idol, who, now as coach, seeks to expand his history at the club and win even more titles.

Flamengo continues to expand its high-performance structure . The club invested $1 million (approximately R$5.35 million) in new equipment for Ninho do Urubu , including two pieces of equipment that are the first of its kind in Latin America, manufactured by Keiser, a global leader in physical training solutions.
One of the highlights is the Keiser A300 Runner , designed to simulate the acceleration phase of running. Unlike traditional machines, which use iron weights, this model uses compressed air resistance , providing a smoother, jerk-free load, which reduces impact on joints during workouts.
Furthermore, the equipment allows for unilateral or bilateral training, helping to correct common muscular asymmetries in athletes. The integrated digital panel displays real-time data, such as applied load, power, and number of repetitions , allowing for more accurate analysis.
Another unique feature is the inertia-free technology, which prevents the weight from returning to the body at the end of the movement. This feature increases safety and reduces risks to muscles and joints, making the device useful for both explosive work and rehabilitation processes.
Flamengo coordinator on equipment: "These devices are the first in Latin America"
For Flamengo 's sports science coordinator, Cláudio Pavanelli, the investment places the club on a par with European football giants: "Some devices are specifically for athletes. They simulate the execution of a movement, a run, a sprint at high intensity. These devices are the first in Latin America. Only a few major European clubs have acquired this new technology ," he explained.
He continued: " The big difference is that you can analyze the application of force throughout the entire movement . At each joint level, you can identify exactly what is being performed, considering the applied overload and the speed of the movement." With the new investment, Flamengo reinforces its commitment to maintaining a level of physical excellence among its squad, combining performance and injury prevention.

With the FIFA International Day off over, Flamengo is finalizing the details for the resumption of the Brasileirão. And one of the team's key players, Arrascaeta, continues to rack up impressive numbers. Since 2019, the number 10 has been the player who needs the least amount of time on the pitch to score a goal in the national competition.
According to a survey by Sofascore , the Uruguayan averages a goal or assist every 99 minutes . In total, he played 151 Brasileirão matches during this period, with 109 direct goal contributions , a performance that puts him at the top of the list, ahead of big names like Gabigol, Pedro, and Luis Suárez.
Among the highlights, Luis Suárez also stands out, reaching second place on the list despite having played only 33 games in the Brasileirão , during his time at Grêmio, where he played for just one season, in 2023.
The number 10 is enjoying one of his best years for the red and black. So far, he has 17 goals and 13 assists, numbers that are close to his most productive season , in 2019, when he scored 18 times and provided 19 decisive passes.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo takes to the field next Sunday (14) against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . The duel will be played at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
The former striker is an idol for both teams and was asked who he would support in a potential clash between Mengão and the Italians.

An idol on and off the field, Adriano Imperador never hid his passion for Flamengo, the club he's loved since childhood. Even so, the former striker built a remarkable career at Inter Milan (ITA), where he gained international fame and earned the nickname "Emperor."
In an interview released by “Romário TV” last Thursday (11), Adriano once again highlighted his connection with Mengão. When asked by Romário who he would support in a match between Flamengo and Inter, the former player did not hesitate: “ Flamengo, always. No chance of another fan base .”
Adriano recently hosted a farewell match at the Maracanã stadium, bringing together former teammates from Flamengo and Inter . He played for each team for a period of time, in a celebration marked by emotion and the affection of the fans.
Despite his declared support for Flamengo, Adriano is deeply grateful to Inter. It was at the Italian club that he established himself as a global star , winning titles and notoriety, as well as earning the nickname that defined his football career.
A product of his youth development at Gávea, the striker has always maintained close ties with the red-and-black fans. His most memorable stint came in 2009, when he returned to the club and played a key role in the Brasileirão title , finishing the competition as the top scorer and idol of the nation.
With Adriano Imperador in the crowd, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão . The match will be played at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, with broadcast on Amazon Prime Video.
