Flamengo plays the last game of its journey this Thursday with absences caused by the Copa América. Against Fortaleza, at 8pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, Tite's team can finish the round consolidated in the lead of the Brazilian Championship and reap good results for the season. The match marks the end of a challenging period for the red and black team, who had to deal with several important absences in their squad.
There will be nine matches with absences. Flamengo was the team most affected by the calendar with games taking place during the Copa América. Fla had five casualties, with Erick Pulgar returning after the group stage, as he was eliminated with Chile. Arrascaeta, Varela, De la Cruz and Viña remain with the Uruguay team, still competing in the competition. Even with so many absences, Flamengo managed to maintain a good performance.
Fla has five wins, one draw and one defeat in the period. The 16 points from 24 played were essential for the team to take the lead. This is one of the legacies of the most complicated period of the season. The ability to maintain competitiveness even without some of its main stars shows the depth and resilience of the squad led by Tite.
Another advantage is the strength of the group. Several players went to the field in sacrifice, especially because Fla also suffered from injuries, in addition to playing improvised in some situations. The group bought the technical committee's ideas to make the period work and this has been celebrated at Ninho do Urubu. The unity and commitment of the players stood out as a crucial factor in overcoming the difficulties.
Leadership was also consolidated. Gerson, David Luiz and Pedro became technical references and within the locker room. They already had an active voice on a daily basis, but the period consolidates them as important names in the team. The role of these leaders was essential in maintaining the team's morale and cohesion during the most challenging moments.
"Forgotten" became an option. Wesley and Léo Ortiz were the players who played little and stood out the most in these weeks. The first can fight for a place with Varela, while the second, without a place in defense, can compete for a position in midfield. Another who played improvised was Léo Pereira, who became a reserve among the defenders, but did well as a left-back. These adaptations enriched the team and gave Tite new tactical options.
Young people gain confidence. Lorran was the one who gained the most minutes and, despite the lack of regularity, was praised by Tite. The coach understands that he still needs maturity, but the boy could appear as an important player in the game until the end of 2024. Others like Victor Hugo, Everton Araújo and even Matheus Gonçalves gained some minutes. These young talents had the opportunity to develop and contribute to the first team.
Pedro establishes himself as an idol. The striker was booed at the beginning of the year and just under five months later there is a flag in the stands and music in his honor. Decisive and fundamental for Flamengo in the last few games, he has established himself among the club's main names. The time of problems with Gabigol also helped in this sense. Flamengo could end the period with 70.37% success rate if they win today, something that many people would not think of. In the seven Brasileirão games before the national team competition, the success rate was 66.66%.

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
PISA RETURNS TO ITALIAN SERIES A AFTER 34 YEARS
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA CLUBS
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
NO SPACE IN THE CAST
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
PASSING TURKEY
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
