The Flamengo ended the first round of the 2024 Brazilian Championship with a significant victory against Vitória 2-1, consolidating its best performance in the last four years. The match, held last Wednesday at Estádio Barradão, highlighted not only the good form of the Rio team, but also maintained a ten-year unbeaten run at the opponent's stadium.
With this victory, Flamengo overcame the points accumulated in the last two editions of the championship. In 2020, when they won their last Brazilian title, the team ended the first round with 35 points. This year, the red-black team not only equaled this mark, but surpassed it, showing a clear evolution in its performance.
FLAMENGO HAS EVOLUTION IN FOUR SEASONS
In the 2022 and 2023 of the Brazilian Championship, the Flamengowas unable to reach the same level of performance as in 2020. In 2022, the team finished the first round with 30 points, while in 2023 they accumulated 32 points. The recovery in 2024 is visible and brings hope to red and black fans who are aiming for another title.
The match against Vitória was balanced and disputed. Flamengo took the lead with a goal from Pedro, which has been one of the team's highlights this season. Vitória tied in the first half, but the Rio team managed to secure the victory with a goal from Bruno Henrique in the final stage. The consistent performance of the defense and the efficiency of the attack were crucial in securing the three points away from home.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.

Flamengo's number 14, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, is on the rise in the Brazilian Championship. The second highest foreign scorer in the history of the competition, the Uruguayan has directly participated in all of Flamengo's goals since the return of the Copa América. In the last three games, he was involved in six goals, being crucial in the matches against Criciúma at Mané Garrincha, Vitória at Barradão and Atlético-GO at Maracanã.
As soon as he returned to Flamengo, Arrascaeta found a team that, despite absences due to FIFA Data, he managed to maintain a satisfactory performance. However, the team came from two negative results at home: a draw against Cuiabá and a defeat against Fortaleza. The Uruguayan's return to the team was, therefore, a relief and an injection of encouragement for the team and the fans.
FLAMENGO WILL GO TOOTH AND NAIL TO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS
In Brasília, in match against Criciúma, Arrascaetawas instrumental in the 2-1 comeback. Pedro equalized and made the pass that resulted in the penalty conceded by Cebolinha. Arrascaeta himself conceded another penalty, which was missed by Pedro, but his influence on the game was undeniable.
The Uruguayan's performance didn't stop there. Against Vitória at Barradão, once again, Arrascaeta was decisive, directly participating in the goals that guaranteed Flamengo. His vision of the game, passing accuracy and skill on the field made all the difference, showing why he is one of the team's main players.
