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.

Flamengo continues to expand its high-performance structure . The club invested $1 million (approximately R$5.35 million) in new equipment for Ninho do Urubu , including two pieces of equipment that are the first of its kind in Latin America, manufactured by Keiser, a global leader in physical training solutions.
One of the highlights is the Keiser A300 Runner , designed to simulate the acceleration phase of running. Unlike traditional machines, which use iron weights, this model uses compressed air resistance , providing a smoother, jerk-free load, which reduces impact on joints during workouts.
Furthermore, the equipment allows for unilateral or bilateral training, helping to correct common muscular asymmetries in athletes. The integrated digital panel displays real-time data, such as applied load, power, and number of repetitions , allowing for more accurate analysis.
Another unique feature is the inertia-free technology, which prevents the weight from returning to the body at the end of the movement. This feature increases safety and reduces risks to muscles and joints, making the device useful for both explosive work and rehabilitation processes.
Flamengo coordinator on equipment: "These devices are the first in Latin America"
For Flamengo 's sports science coordinator, Cláudio Pavanelli, the investment places the club on a par with European football giants: "Some devices are specifically for athletes. They simulate the execution of a movement, a run, a sprint at high intensity. These devices are the first in Latin America. Only a few major European clubs have acquired this new technology ," he explained.
He continued: " The big difference is that you can analyze the application of force throughout the entire movement . At each joint level, you can identify exactly what is being performed, considering the applied overload and the speed of the movement." With the new investment, Flamengo reinforces its commitment to maintaining a level of physical excellence among its squad, combining performance and injury prevention.

With the FIFA International Day off over, Flamengo is finalizing the details for the resumption of the Brasileirão. And one of the team's key players, Arrascaeta, continues to rack up impressive numbers. Since 2019, the number 10 has been the player who needs the least amount of time on the pitch to score a goal in the national competition.
According to a survey by Sofascore , the Uruguayan averages a goal or assist every 99 minutes . In total, he played 151 Brasileirão matches during this period, with 109 direct goal contributions , a performance that puts him at the top of the list, ahead of big names like Gabigol, Pedro, and Luis Suárez.
Among the highlights, Luis Suárez also stands out, reaching second place on the list despite having played only 33 games in the Brasileirão , during his time at Grêmio, where he played for just one season, in 2023.
The number 10 is enjoying one of his best years for the red and black. So far, he has 17 goals and 13 assists, numbers that are close to his most productive season , in 2019, when he scored 18 times and provided 19 decisive passes.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo takes to the field next Sunday (14) against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . The duel will be played at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.

An idol on and off the field, Adriano Imperador never hid his passion for Flamengo, the club he's loved since childhood. Even so, the former striker built a remarkable career at Inter Milan (ITA), where he gained international fame and earned the nickname "Emperor."
In an interview released by “Romário TV” last Thursday (11), Adriano once again highlighted his connection with Mengão. When asked by Romário who he would support in a match between Flamengo and Inter, the former player did not hesitate: “ Flamengo, always. No chance of another fan base .”
Adriano recently hosted a farewell match at the Maracanã stadium, bringing together former teammates from Flamengo and Inter . He played for each team for a period of time, in a celebration marked by emotion and the affection of the fans.
Despite his declared support for Flamengo, Adriano is deeply grateful to Inter. It was at the Italian club that he established himself as a global star , winning titles and notoriety, as well as earning the nickname that defined his football career.
A product of his youth development at Gávea, the striker has always maintained close ties with the red-and-black fans. His most memorable stint came in 2009, when he returned to the club and played a key role in the Brasileirão title , finishing the competition as the top scorer and idol of the nation.
With Adriano Imperador in the crowd, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão . The match will be played at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, with broadcast on Amazon Prime Video.
