In the wake of the Brasileirão, Flamengo emerges not only as the leader in points in the table, but also as an example of discipline on the field. According to the latest data from Espião Estatístico, the red and black team stands out as the most disciplined at the beginning of the championship, while Atlético-MG leads the opposite ranking, accumulating cards as a burden in their matches.


Over the seven matches played so far, Flamengoaccumulated only 12 yellow cards, without any red cards. This performance places the Rio team as the undisputed leader in terms of discipline, surpassing Bragantino and Corinthians, second and third placed, respectively, in this fair play ranking.


THE GREATEST DOCTRINE OF AN ATHLETE 


Meanwhile, Atlético-MG, despite showing quality on the field, has been marked by cards. The Minas Gerais club leads the opposite ranking, being the most punished with yellow and red cards.

An interesting factor to be considered is that, due to game postponements, some teams have played fewer matches so far, which means which could directly influence the absolute number of cards received. Therefore, Espião Estatístico chose to calculate the average number of cards per game played, awarding three points for a red card and one point for a yellow card. This way, the analysis becomes more balanced and fair between the teams.

In the 2-0 defeat to Fluminense last Thursday (17), right-back Wesley, aged 21, achieved the incredible mark of 100 games with the Sacred Mantle. With this, the number 43 of Flamengo will receive a tributeagainst Juventude, at Maracanã next Rubro-Negro match for the Brazilian Championship. The information comes from journalist Pablo Raphael, from Gazeta do Urubu.





< p style="border: 1px solid rgb(197, 0, 24);"> Wesleyalmost had his time at Flamengo ended in the middle of the year, when Atalanta, from Italy, made a proposal of 20 million euros (R$120 million) to count on the full-back's football. it was not finalizeda because the Italian club changed its route to sign Raoul Bellanova who, as he is Italian, would not need to deal with the bureaucracy of a work visa or even take up space extra-communityfrom the club.


With his stay at the club, Wesley has been evolving and, since the arrival of Filipe Luís as head coach of Flamengo, assumed the position of absolute starter on the right side of Mais Querido. One of the main criticisms about the young man, the defensive side, has increasingly disappeared with the player being one of the leadersof Mengão in disarms and interceptions.

Wesley outperformed lots of criticism until he reached the level of performance he has demonstrated. During negotiations with Atalanta, many fans even said that they would take the player to the airport so that the full-back could leave the club. However, with his recent good performances, the player has been turning things around and establishing himself as one of themain full-backs of Brazilian football.

After the duel against Corinthians, Wesley reached 101 games with the Sacred Mantle. For Flamengo, the full-back scored two goals and provided three assists. Since 2022 in the professional squad, Wesley has had many chances with Jorge Sampaoli as starter in 2023, but the evolution in 2024 elevated him to the status of starter for Mais Querido.

David Luiz was already part of of the cast.

Next Saturday (26), Flamengo hosts Juventude at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 4:30 pm (Brasília time) and promises to be decisive for the intentions of Mengão in the competition. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has already defined the refereeing team for the duel, which will have Bráulio da Silva Machado in charge, accompanied by assistants Thiaggo Americano Labes and Gizeli Casaril, both from Santa Catarina. The video referee (VAR) will be Diego Pombo Lopez, from Bahia.


With the scale defined, Flamengo will prepares to face a Juventude that seeks to get back into the competition. Rubro-Negro's objective is to remain firm at the top of the table and reduce the distance to Botafogo, current leader of the Brasileirão. Currently, Flamengo occupies fourth place, with 51 points, and has one game less than General Severiano's team.


FLAMENGO MAINTAINS TRANQUILITY AT CBF 


This pending confrontation will be held on the 30th of October, against Internacional, which could be a crucial opportunity for Mengão to close the gap. In addition to the main names, the CBF also confirmed other members in the arbitration. João Vitor Gobi, from São Paulo, will be the fourth referee, and Marcelo Rogério, also from São Paulo, will act as an advisor.

In VAR, in addition to Diego Pombo Lopez, we will have Eder Alexandre, from Santa Catarina, as AVAR, and Rodrigo Batista Raposo, from the Federal District, as AVAR2. Supervision will be carried out by Marcos André Gomes da Penha, from Espírito Santo, while Maria Victoria Benetti, from CBF, will be the quality manager. In the current scenario of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo is going through an important moment in the competition, looking to reach Botafogo.


 EYE OPEN ON THE VAR 

The leader's ten point advantage is significant, but the team led by Filipe Luis maintains focus on recovery and the fight for the title. Juventude, on the other hand, is not going through the same phase and will try to surprise Rubro-Negro away from home. The clash at Maracanã is seen as an opportunity for Flamengo to consolidate its position among the leaders and get closer to the dispute for top of the table.
