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.
The São Paulo team remembered the Libertadores final in 2021

The Minister of the STF, Alexandre de Moraes, determined this last Friday (30), the suspension of the social network X in Brazil. Thus, as the last post on the network, Palmeiras made a post provoking Flamengo. In the publication, the São Paulo team recalled Deyverson's goal in the Libertadores final in 2021.
“Is it really going to end now? 🤨 Well... then I'm going to leave a new last post 🤷♂️”, published the profile of the São Paulo club.
In the comments of the publication, Flamengo fans took the opportunity to remember the confrontation between the teams in 2012, when Vagner Love decreed the second relegation of the alviverde team. The striker, revealed by the São Paulo team, entered the history of his formative club as an executioner.
FLAMENGO IN THE SEASONDespite having provoked Flamengo with the 2021 Libertadores final, Palmeiras was eliminated by Rubro-Negro this season. On that occasion, Mais Querido beat the São Paulo team in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, by a score of 2 to 1. Furthermore, the team from Alviverde was eliminated from the round of 16 of the Libertadores by Botafogo. This way, only Mengo is alive in the three most important competitions.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAMEThus, Flamengo focuses on the Brasileirão. Mais Querido returns to the field this Sunday (1), at 4pm, at Neo Química Arena, against Corinthians, for the 25th round of Brasile
irão.
