The Flamengo suffered a tough defeat on Sunday night, losing 4-1 to Botafogo at Nilton Santos. It was the first victory under the command of Tite, who praised his rival in the press conference after the match, but stated that Rubro-Negro "can't concede four goals".
- Congratulations to Botafogo for the great The game he played maintained a very regular level in the first and second half, always at a high level. Football has to know how to look at the other side and recognize it, even with all the pain of defeat. Flamengo cannot lose 4-1, cannot concede four goals, we are aware of that. But at the same time it is important to consider important factors.
Asked about the choice of Victor Hugo instead of Arrascaeta when the Uruguayan was injured at the start of the game, even though he had Lorran in the squad, Tite preferred not to explain:
- When he gets into specific situations he is very punctual, it's not my profile. When the team loses, it loses in its context, it loses as a whole. If Victor Hugo had started well, with good results, the question would be the opposite. Our entire team didn't have it, and especially when it was in the second half that the team began to fall apart in physical terms. It was falling, falling, falling, and we looked and noticed it. And Botafogo's intensity remained because it has quality, verticality, and a team with physical structure and an extra day of recovery.
With the result in the classic, Flamengo remains with 41 points, five points behind less than the leader Botafogo, with 46. Rubro-negro now needs to turn the key to the Libertadores da América. This is because there is a decisive game at altitude against Bolívar, for a place in the quarter-finals.
In the first match, Tite's men won at Maracanã 2-0 and have an advantage of losing by up to one goal of difference to pass. As for the Brasileirão, Fla will only return to the field next Sunday, at 4pm, against Bragantino, at Maracanã.

Gabigol makes a revelation about leaving Flamengo: “the most correct decision…”
The striker says he is satisfied with his move to Cruzeiro and that the choice was made differently from the negotiations for Mengão and Europe

Gabigol surprised everyone by saying that he has no regrets about leaving Flamengo to wear the Cruzeiro jersey. In an interview with the Podpah podcast, the forward spoke enthusiastically about his choice and revealed that the change was made with his heart — unlike other decisions in his career, which, according to him, were made intuitively.
Gabigol on leaving Flamengo: “It was the best decision I made in my life"
“It was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. When I went to Flamengo or Inter Milan, it was much more intuitive. For the first time, I felt in my heart: this is it. This is where I want to live, this is what I want to experience . Everything I’ve experienced at other clubs has been incredible, and with Flamengo, it’s even better. But at 28 years old, and given everything I’ve been through, it was a completely correct decision. I’m very happy here,” said the player.
CHOOSE BELO HORIZONTE
Gabigol also revealed that the desire to live in Belo Horizonte weighed on his decision to switch from Flamengo to Cruzeiro. Even with the Rubro-Negro fighting for the main titles of the season, the striker showed conviction in his choice and enthusiasm for the new moment in his career.
ADAPTING TO THE NEW CLUB
After six years at Flamengo, Gabigol said that he faced some strangeness in his first days at Toca da Raposa . From his seat on the bus to the locker room, everything was different for him. However, he highlighted the warm welcome from the fans and the Cruzeiro board as fundamental for his quick adaptation.
“I spent a long time at Flamengo, so everything was very new to me: the locker room, the players, the environment. I was a bit lost at first. But I was welcomed in a way I never imagined . This hasn’t happened anywhere else in the world. From the beginning, the board, players and fans have shown me a lot of affection. I’m very happy here, from the bottom of my heart,” he concluded.

Flamengo eyeing! Udinese want Uruguayan goalkeeper and could leave Rossi out
The Italians had contacted the Argentine from Mengão to find out about their condition, but now they are turning to the goalkeeper who was champion in Portugal

Flamengo's star goalkeeper Agustín Rossi has once again caught the attention of European clubs . According to Messaggero Veneto, the Argentine is Udinese's main target to take over the Italian club's goal next season . Interest intensified after the possible suspension of Maduka Okoye, involved in a sports betting scandal. However, Mengão is keeping an eye on another move by the Italian club.
In addition to Rossi, the name of Franco Israel, currently a reserve at Sporting (POR), also appears on the list of possible reinforcements . Austrian coach Kosta Runjaic sees the Uruguayan as a second option, but does not rule out his arrival if negotiations with Rossi do not progress.
INTERNATIONAL INTEREST ON THE RISE
According to Spanish newspaper Diario AS, Rossi is also being monitored by three Premier League clubs and teams in Saudi Arabia , where he has already played on loan at Al-Nassr. Udinese had already shown interest in the goalkeeper during his time at Boca Juniors.
FLAMENGO DOES NOT INTEND TO NEGOTIATE THE GOALKEEPER
Despite the inquiries, Flamengo has no intention of releasing Rossi. The board is even working to extend the goalkeeper's contract beyond December 2027 , with a new contract valid until 2031. The objective is to keep the player valued and ensure his permanence as a key player in the squad.
IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS
During the season, Rossi performed at a high level: an average of just 0.46 goals conceded per game and an 80% success rate in saves — numbers that placed him among the seven best goalkeepers among those who competed in the Club World Cup. Before the match against Chelsea, the red-and-black number 1 had accumulated seven consecutive games without conceding a goal.

Even after five years, Jorge Jesus, who will coach Cristiano Ronaldo next season , has remained a reference point for Flamengo, both inside and outside the club . With impressive numbers and historic titles between 2019 and 2020, the Portuguese coach left a lasting legacy. This impression was reinforced by right-back Rodinei, who praised the coach's leadership and impact on the red-black squad.
Rodinei on Jorge Jesus at Flamengo: "he changed a lot in our group"
“Since Jorge Jesus arrived, he has changed a lot of things in our group. He was always paying attention to the defense, to the attackers ... He was a totally different guy, and you could already feel that the players respected him a lot,” said Rodinei , in an interview with the Denílson Show podcast.
THE ARRIVAL THAT CHANGED FLAMENGO
Jorge Jesus - who already has a date to start coaching Al Nassr - took over Flamengo in June 2019, after the departure of Abel Braga. At the time, he negotiated with Atlético-MG, but opted to sign with the Rio de Janeiro club. In just a few months, he promoted a tactical and technical revolution that culminated in memorable achievements .
REFERENCE FOR EX-PLAYERS AND FILIPE LUÍS
Jorge Jesus' admiration is not limited to Rodinei. Former players such as Diego Ribas, Gabigol and Rafinha have already declared the Portuguese as the best coach they have worked with . The current Flamengo coach, Filipe Luís, also considers the “Mister” a great inspiration for his leadership style.
ONE OF THE GREATEST IN THE CLUB'S HISTORY
Under Jorge Jesus' command, Flamengo won five titles: Libertadores, Campeonato Brasileiro, Supercopa do Brasil, Recopa Sul-Americana and Campeonato Carioca . There were only four defeats in 58 games. In 2019, the team scored 90 points in the Brasileirão, a record in the points-based era with 20 clubs, and enchanted the continent with its attacking and dominant style.
