After Tite's resignation from command of Flamengo, fans mobilized on social media asking for patience and support for veteran left-back Felipe Luís, who temporarily took over the coaching position. The movement in support of Felipe has gained strength, especially due to his identification with the club and the services provided over the years. The fans understand that the player should not be held responsible for any mistakes and that his position as interim coach is the result of decisions taken by the Flamengo board.


Early this morning, the board made Tite's departure official after results below expectations and an evident internal dissatisfaction with the team's performance. The news quickly took over the news and social media, generating a series of speculations about who could take over Flamengo permanently. Meanwhile, Felipe Luís was appointed to command the team on a temporary basis, which divided opinions among fans.


SUPPORT FOR FILIPE LUÍS INTERNALLY


In the social networks, fans ask for respect for FIlipe Luís and ask that he not be target of excessive criticism. Comments such as “Felipe Luís is not to blame for the bad management” and “Let's support our idol” multiplied in groups of fans. Part of the fans considers that he, as an athlete and a reference for the club, deserves respect and should not be judged for a role for which he was not previously prepared. Therefore, the request is clear: patience and unconditional support during this moment of transition.

Taking an interim role at a club like Flamengo is a huge challenge for any professional, even more so for someone like Felipe Luís, who is an idol and still active in the squad as a player. The responsibility of managing the team, even temporarily, puts the athlete in a delicate position, especially if we consider the weight that a Flamengo coach carries. If the team does not manage to perform well in the next games, it is almost certain that part of the more impatient fans will look for someone to blame, which could cause unnecessary wear and tear for the left-back.


Despite this, the fans more conscious people ask for caution and for Felipe Luís to be respected as the idol he is. “Felipe has already done a lot for Flamengo on the field. We are not going to burn a player who is our asset”, commented another fan on a social network. The situation opens up a discussion about the responsibility of who should be held responsible for the failures and the crisis within the club.

On Thursday night (4), the Brazilian National Team beat Chile 3-0, at Maracanã , in a duel valid for the penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers. Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti played its third match under the new coach and once again excited the fans.


Estêvão, Paquetá, and Bruno Guimarães scored the winning goals in front of more than 57,000 fans at the stadium . The result moved Brazil up to second place in the standings, now with 28 points. Before kickoff, singer Ivete Sangalo entertained the crowd with a 15-minute pocket show.


STÊVÃO OPENS THE WAY TO VICTORY


Brazil started at a strong pace and nearly opened the scoring after just two minutes, with Gabriel Magalhães' header saved by Vigouroux. Casemiro even managed to find the net, but the effort was ruled out for offside.

The persistence resulted in a goal in the 37th minute, after a quick play between João Pedro and Douglas Santos. Raphinha shot, the goalkeeper rebounded, and Estêvão, almost on the line, scored with a bicycle kick. This was the youngster's first goal for the national team, bringing the crowd to life at the Maracanã stadium.


PAQUETÁ AND BRUNO GUIMARÃES SHINE

After the break, the Yellows kept up the pressure, but Chile began to react. Ancelotti, alert, made substitutions that changed the course of the match. Luiz Henrique came on well and, in the 26th minute, made a run down the left and crossed perfectly for Paquetá to head in the second goal, his first attempt of the match.

Shortly after, in the 30th minute, Bruno Guimarães took advantage of a rebound from Luiz Henrique's shot that hit the crossbar and scored the third. The fans gave a standing ovation to the striker's performance, which gave new momentum to the attack. With the victory, Brazil remained firmly in second place in the Qualifiers and will conclude its participation next Tuesday (9), against Bolivia, in El Alto, a city located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters.

Striker Bruno Henrique was punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice this Thursday (29), with a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision, valid for national competitions, does not prevent the athlete from playing in the Libertadores at this time , but there is an expectation that the case will be forwarded to FIFA, which could increase the effects of the sanction.


The sentence handed down by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) affects competitions such as the Brazilian Championship and the Brazilian Cup, limiting the striker's participation in the national competition. However, for now, he remains available to play in the Copa Libertadores . If the court requests an extension from FIFA and the governing body of football complies, Bruno Henrique will also be sidelined for the international competition.


Flamengo 's board confirmed that it will appeal the decision, seeking a reduction in the penalty imposed on the number 27. There is the possibility of requesting a suspensive effect, which could allow the player to attend matches until the appeal is analyzed by the STJD Plenary, the highest court in the sporting sphere.


TRIAL HELD REMOTELY

Bruno Henrique, a defendant in both sports and civil courts, was not present in person at the trial, held in Rio de Janeiro. The striker testified remotely, as his presence at the court was not mandatory. He was also on a four-day leave granted by the club during the FIFA International Day.


UNDERSTAND THE ACCUSATION OF MANIPULATION

The case investigates the suspicion that Bruno Henrique had informed in advance about the yellow card he received against Santos, in a match held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023. According to the investigations, the information would have benefited his brother, Wander, who passed on the data to third parties linked to sports betting.
