Flamengo begins its journey in the 2024 Libertadores this Tuesday (2), at 7pm (Brasília time), against Millonarios, in Bogotá, Colombia. The stage of the confrontation, the El Campín Stadium, holds a bitter memory for Rubro-Negro, which in 2018 was harmed by a controversial arbitration in the same place.
At the time, Flamengo drew 0-0 with Santa Fé in the Libertadores group stage. Thus, in the last play of the match, Geuvânio stole the ball from the Colombian defender, dribbled past the goalkeeper and kicked the ball into the goal. However, referee Daniel Fedorczuk ended the game before the attacker finished, generating great outrage among the Rio team.
“That's a joke. Only against Flamengo do these things happen. It's been like this since the first game. Even if it was ending, the game cannot end in a situation like that”, protested Geuvânio at the time.
Despite the negative memory, Flamengo seeks to overcome the past and start the Libertadores on the right foot. The team led by Vítor Pereira will face a Millonarios team that has strengthened itself for the competition and seeks to assert command on the field.
Anyway, in addition to the altitude of Bogotá, which can be a determining factor for performance from Flamengo. However, the team will have to deal with the pressure for a good result. The Rio team is considered one of the favorites for the Libertadores title and needs to score points away from home to guarantee a good classification in Group H.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
This Tuesday's match (02) will be against Millonarios, starting at 7pm (Brasília time), in Colombia
