On social media, young striker Shola stirred up fans by revealing that he is linked by Filipe Luís for Flamengo's next duel against Juventude, which will take place this Saturday, at Maracanã. Shola's call-up, despite surprising some, reflects a movement planned by technical committee and the board, who recently exercised the option to purchase the player. The decision is based on the trust placed by Filipe Luís in the athlete's talent, a relationship that began at the club's youth level, when both worked together on the U20 team.
Filipe Luís has known Shola since the time when the striker played for Flamengo's U20 team, which was a determining factor in the board's commitment to signing him permanently. The coach has always believed in the young man's potential, highlighting his tactical discipline and his ability to play in different offensive roles. Now, Filipe wants to give Shola more opportunities in the first team, aiming to further develop his skills and expand his experiences in important matches, such as the one against Juventude.
OPPORTUNITY IN MARACANÃ
Shola's inclusion in the squad for the clash with Juventude represents a golden chance for the young man to show his value at Maracanã, in front of thousands of fans. This could be the opportunity he has been waiting for to establish himself in the main team and demonstrate that he has the potential to add value to the red and black squad. The expectation is that he will bring energy and versatility to the attack, two factors that Filipe Luís considers essential to face opponents like Juventude, who are always a threat to Flamengo's defense.
FLAMENGO HAS THE WEIGHT TO FACE YOUTH?
Shola's permanence at Flamengo was ensured with the exercise of purchase option by the board. This strategic decision is the result of the club's planning for the future , aiming at the development of young promises that can consolidate themselves as important pieces in the first team. With the positive influence of Filipe Luís, who followed Shola's growth from the base, Flamengo is betting on the young man as one of the names to renew the strength of the attack in future competitions.
The relationship between Shola and Filipe Luís goes beyond the field, reflecting a mentorship that began back in the U20 days. The coach was a crucial figure in the player's adaptation to the club's demands, teaching him how to deal with challenges both inside and outside the pitch. Filipe has always defended that Shola has the right profile to grow at Flamengo, highlighting his commitment to the team and his ability to absorb new guidance and improve his game. Now, with the coach's trust, the attacker is preparing for this new stage.

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.
