Last Sunday (15), Flamengo and Vasco drew 1-1, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The result, although frustrating for the red and blacks, who dominated much of the match, kept them eight points behind leader Botafogo.

Mais Querido entered the field imposing his pace and controlling the actions for most of the game. The red-black goal was scored by Gerson, who has been standing out in recent matches. However, CRF conceded the draw in the final minutes, which prevented a more significant approach to the classification table.

According to information from the Coluna do Fla portal, the objective is to arrive "alive" in the fight for the title in the final five rounds. Matheus Bachi, assistant coach, believes that the recent good performance against Bahia and Vasco could be an indication that the team is on the right track to fight for the top again.

Idol of Flamengo, Gabigol < /a>has not been, not even close, the player who made his name in the history of the Greatest in the World. With his contract nearing the end, the former Shirt 10 has been the third attacking option for Tite, even with Pedro absent from the team for the rest of the season.

The drop in performance, which has been going on since 2023, but accentuated in 2024, has directly impacted Gabriel's market value (VDM). At 28 years old, Gabi is no longer one of the most valuable athletes on the continent. According to Transfermarkt, the striker has already reached the VDM of 26 million euros in 2021. Currently, Gabigol is valued at 8 million euros. Devaluation is close to R$ 110 million at the current price.


Although the phase is terrible and a renewal is unlikely, Gabriel Barbosa has aroused the interest of other teams. Bahia is the main interested in having Flamengo's 99th shirt for 2025. The team, which signed Everton Ribeiro at the beginning of the season, sees the striker as a figure to boost the team's level.


Other three Brazilian clubs have also signaled interest in Gabigol: Palmeiras, Cruzeiro and Corinthians. The alviverde team tried to sign a pre-contract with the athlete in 2024, but Gabi did not respond and made president Leila Pereira withdraw the proposal. However, at the end of the contract, changes may occur. The player pleases coach Abel Ferreira.

Gabigol could be absent from Flamengo

Having recently recovered from a muscle injury, Gabigol can return to the Red and Black Medical Department. According to Uol, the attacker felt pain in his right thigh against Vasco, last Sunday (45) and will undergo tests this Tuesday (17). The region is the same one that left the player missing for three weeks, when he was injured against Bolívar, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores.

Luciano Bandeira declared his vote for Rodrigo Dunshee as president of Flamengo and asked for support from the Advocacia Rubro-Negra group

Rodrigo Dunshee gained important support in his candidacy for president of Flamengo. Luciano Bandeira, president of the Rio de Janeiro section of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB-RJ), announced his support for the candidate at a lunch in downtown Rio de Janeiro, this Tuesday (17).

Luciano is a member of the Advocacia Rubro-Negra group, made up only of lawyers who are members of the club, and asks the rest of the members to follow the vote for Rodrigo Dunshee. It is worth noting that other members had already declared their support for the current management.


“We want to build this story, help make this story even greater. President Landim, together with Rodrigo, managed to make the dream of land for the Flamengo stadium come true. It is very important that we have this group leading the process. (…) It is a very important election for Flamengo. (…) I ask everyone who has always accompanied me to help me in the campaign to elect Rodrigo Dunshee president”, said Luciano Bandeira in his speech.


It is worth highlighting that six political groups have already declared support for Rodrigo Dunshee to next president of Flamengo. They are: Fla Esportes; Flamengo Raiz; Our Fla; Red-Black Synergy; União Rubro-Negra and Vanguarda Rubro-Negra.

This is in addition to the groups that have part of the members supporting the candidate in the Flamengo elections: Advocacia RN and FLA+.


The Elections in Flamengo

The election to define the next president of Flamengo is scheduled to take place on December 9th, a Monday, at 8am, in Gávea. Maurício Gomes de Mattos and Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) are the main opponents to Rodrigo Dunshee at the moment.

Wallim Vasconcellos, Pedro Paulo and Delair Dumbrosck also announced their candidacy. The tickets need to be registered from September 10th to 30th and it is difficult to gather signatures. It will not be surprising, therefore, if a candidate does not achieve the minimum required.
