The 2024 Brasileirão is buzzing with Rio football taking center stage, but at opposite ends. While Flamengo and Botafogo lead the table of best attacks, Vasco and Fluminensehit rock bottom with the most leaky defenses of the tournament.
In a show of offensiveness, Flamengo and Botafogo have been the nightmares of opposing goalkeepers, scoring an impressive average of almost two goals per match. With 13 goals scored in just seven games, these teams show formidable firepower that has left their fans ecstatic.
THE BEST AMONG CARIOCAS
On the other hand, the situation it's very different for Vasco and Fluminense, who are having difficulty holding back their opponents. Vasco, especially, is going through a true defensive nightmare, having conceded 17 goals so far. The recent massacre suffered by the team at Maracanã only increased concerns about the defense, placing the club in a delicate position in the championship.
Not far behind, Fluminense also faces serious defensive problems, having been leaked in 13 occasions to date. Although not as calamitous as Vasco's performance, Fluminense is far from finding the necessary stability to face the challenges of the Brasileirão.
Mengão signed four players in the current transfer market opening and fans are waiting to find out if they will have new arrivals.

Brazilian football's second transfer window is in its final stretch and closes on September 2. With only ten days remaining, the question fans are asking is: will Flamengo still make new signings or could it lose players ?
So far, Flamengo has brought in four players this summer: Emerson Royal, Saúl, Carrascal, and Samuel Lino . Previously, during a special period for the Club World Cup, they had already signed midfielder Jorginho. The internal assessment is that the investments were satisfactory, strengthening areas considered lacking and giving Filipe Luís more options.
The board isn't considering the arrival of new players in this final stretch. Some positions are still being monitored: goalkeeper, center-back, and center-forward . However, the football management team, led by executive José Boto, plans to postpone these changes until the end of the season.
With no negotiations underway, Flamengo is unlikely to sign any more players until the window closes . The priority now is the December transfer window, when the club is expected to move primarily to strengthen its defense.

Flamengo returns to the field this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Vitória in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The expectation is a full house: around 50 thousand tickets have already been sold in advance. So far, only the North Sector is sold out, but the other sectors remain available.
Those wishing to attend the game can purchase tickets through the official website ingressos.flamengo.com.br . Prices range from R$80 (R$40 half-price) to R$400 (R$200 half-price), with special discounts for club members. Attendance is projected to exceed 50,000, ensuring a decisive atmosphere at the Sacred Temple.
Flamengo comes into the match in excellent form, sitting atop the table with 43 points. Under Filipe Luís, the team has a six-game unbeaten streak in the Brasileirão. Furthermore, last week, the team secured a spot in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals by eliminating Internacional, an opponent they had previously defeated 3-1 at Beira-Rio, solidifying their strong run this season.
Vitória, meanwhile, is fighting to escape the relegation zone. The Bahian team sits in 17th place with 19 points and is coming off a 2-2 draw with Juventude at Barradão Stadium. Prior to that, they suffered a 2-0 loss to São Paulo at Morumbis Stadium . The task is daunting, but the team is banking on the need to score points to bounce back in the competition.
European clubs are showing interest in Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz, but the board indicates that departures will only occur at the end of the season.

Flamengo's board has been the target of recent approaches involving its key defenders. Léo Pereira, a regular starter, has received inquiries from three European football teams : Valencia, Sevilla, and Porto, seeking information on values and conditions for a potential deal.
Despite the interest, the club's executives remain firm: there are no plans to release the player this summer . The club, however, admits to keeping communication channels open for possible future talks.
For Léo Pereira to leave the club before his contract expires, he will have to pay the full release clause, valued at €60 million (approximately R$380 million at the current exchange rate). This amount has served as a buffer against more aggressive moves in the European market.
The situation is similar for Léo Ortiz, another defensive pillar of the squad. The player is also being monitored by European clubs, and his situation is attracting attention behind the scenes . The information was initially released by the website 'GE'.
Among those interested in the defender are Napoli, Juventus, and Roma, who have already held informal inquiries. So far, the only concrete offer has come from RB Leipzig, but it hasn't progressed . With the European window closing on September 2nd, further moves are expected, although Flamengo 's position is clear: to keep its starters at least until the end of this season.
