According to Ge, O Flamengo faces an important dilemma with the absence of Pedro, sidelined by a serious injury to his left knee. The center forward, a fundamental piece in the tactical scheme of the team and the Brazilian team, will be left out for an indefinite period of time, which has brought up an internal discussion at the club: whether or not to seek an immediate replacement for the number 9? Several factors complicate this decision, such as the high cost of possible signings, the time needed to adapt a new athlete and the scarcity of quality options available on the market.
Pedro's injury doesn't just affect the Flamengoin the short term, but it could have a significant impact on the competitions in which the club is involved: Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Brasileiro and Libertadores. Pedro had been one of the team's top scorers and protagonists, playing a crucial role in finishing offensive plays. His absence leaves a gap that will be difficult to fill with the players currently available in the squad. Thus, the red and black board is forced to consider whether to invest in a new center forward or trust in a homemade solution.
The club has carried out surveys and seen indications for the signing of players who are "free" on the market and without a contract. The decision to hire a new center forward is not simple, and some points make this process difficult. First, the high cost involved. The transfer window is closed to international signings, and the players available on the national market are either under contract with other teams, which makes the operation more expensive, or do not have the technical level that Flamengo demands.
In addition Furthermore, free athletes on the market generally come from a long period of inactivity, either due to previous injuries or because they have not been linked to a club for months. This lack of rhythm in the game is a real concern for the technical committee and the board, as the Flamengo needs a player who can enter the field and perform immediately, without go through a long period of adaptation or physical recovery. In Pedro's case, the injury occurred at a crucial moment of the season, and the club needs quick responses, especially in short-range competitions like the Copa do Brasil.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.

Flaengo striker Luiz Araújo underwent successful surgery this Wednesday (13) to correct an osteochondral injury in his right knee. The procedure, carried out by doctor Max Ramos and accompanied by Márcio Tannure, head of the club's medical department, was necessary after the player fractured his cartilage during the derby against Vasco, last Sunday (10).
The osteochondral injury involves the cartilage, a tissue that covers the bones between the joints. In cases of separation, degeneration or rupture, the underlying bone may also be affected. This condition is common in joints such as the knee, ankle and elbow, and can cause pain and movement limitations.
Luiz Araújo suffered the injury in a dispute with left-back Lucas Piton, from Vasco. After the collision, the Mais Querido player needed medical attention and, although he tried to continue on the field, he was substituted in the 17th minute of the first half.
The red-black attacker's estimated recovery time is approximately two months. During this period, he will undergo an intensive process of physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation, with the expectation of returning in shape for the end of the season.
Flamengo's medical department is closely monitoring Luiz Araújo's progress, ensuring that the player has all the conditions for a full recovery. The team is also looking for alternatives to make up for the athlete's absence in the next important commitments, both in the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.
