Prices here are 35% to 40% cheaper than in São Paulo, and everyone complains. Everything is expensive in Brazil . To have the team we have, it would hardly be cheaper than that. The costs of Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, the Flamengo and Football today are inflated. You can't practice less than that . Less than that we lose money, then you can't have a team like what we have here today, rejoicing the heart of 45 million, ”said the president after the Guanabara Cup conquest.

Former full-back assesses the evolution and limitations of defensive players in modern football and demands greater offensive participation from full-backs, highlighting the defender's flaws

With extensive experience in the position and a notable achievement in winning the 1994 World Cup , Jorginho remains one of the most respected voices when it comes to right-backs. In his analysis, the former player highlighted the changing style of play and the lack of full-backs who can get deep to deliver crosses.
According to him, " a full-back needs to know how to cross. Nowadays, in modern football, it's difficult to see that. Today, it's a very supportive game with few full-backs getting to the bottom. The wingers play with 'switched' legs and usually cut inside, the full-back has to pass," he concluded.
During his analysis, Jorginho criticized the performance of Danilo , the current Brazilian full-back. He noted that in recent matches, the player has been unable to complete crosses , something he considers worrying for his role.
" I watched some recent Brazilian national team games and it was desperate to see the full-back not pass the ball. He ended up not delivering a cross. Danilo is a great full-back, but there was one game where, if I'm not mistaken it was against Argentina (editor's note: Danilo's last game for the national team was against Uruguay), he didn't get to the bottom once," he said before concluding.
Jorginho criticizes Flamengo's Danilo: "A full-back can't not cross a ball"
" A full-back can't go without crossing the ball throughout the game . But of course, today he's become more of a third defender and looks inside a lot, but it's extremely necessary for the full-back to know how to cross," said the former Flamengo coach.
With Danilo available, Flamengo is preparing for its next Brazilian Championship match. The team faces Juventude on the 14th at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, with coverage on Globo and Premiere.
Even though it is considered one of the favorites to win the 2025 Libertadores, the Mais Querido is the target of a controversial prediction that indicates a fall in the quarterfinals.

Flamengo and the Libertadores Cup are experiencing another promising chapter in 2025. Flamengo, three-time champions of the competition, are considered a top contender for the title this season. However, a bold prediction has been circulating behind the scenes: psychic Maria Siqueira stated that the club will be eliminated by Estudiantes. According to her, " Estudiantes' Tarot cards are much better than those of Flamengo ," which would indicate an advantage for the Argentines in the decisive duel.
Despite leading the Brasileirão and a solid international campaign, Filipe Luís's team encountered unexpected obstacles in the Libertadores group stage . LDU, considered their toughest rival, was comfortably defeated at Maracanã and only managed a draw in the high altitude. Central Córdoba, in their first appearance in the tournament, surprised by winning 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro and drawing at home.
Even Deportivo Táchira, seen as a weaker opponent, nearly made things difficult. In Venezuela, Mengão won 1-0, but struggled at the Maracanã in a decisive match, securing a victory by the same score after a late scare.
In the round of 16, "Mais Querido" showed strength and defeated Internacional 3-0 on aggregate . Now, the next challenge is against Estudiantes, who finished the group stage at the top of Botafogo's group and eliminated Cerro Porteño of Paraguay in the previous stage.
Before turning their attention to the Libertadores, Flamengo returns to action on the 14th against Juventude at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, with coverage on Globo and Premiere. The first leg ended in a 6-0 rout at the Maracanã stadium , marking Pedro's return from a serious injury, with the striker scoring two goals.

Luiz Henrique was one of the standout players in Brazil's victory over Chile at the Maracanã and left a lasting impression. After the match, some Flamengo fans took to social media to call for the Zenit striker to be signed.
Despite the movement, there's no indication that the club is interested in repatriating the player. The protest stems solely from the enthusiasm of fans, impressed by the former Botafogo player's performance.
In 2024, Flamengo attempted to sign Luiz Henrique, who was playing for Real Betis in Spain at the time. Negotiations, however, fell through, and Botafogo ultimately prevailed, securing the striker's return to Brazilian football. At the time, the athlete excelled and won important titles before moving to Russian football.
On social media, comments abounded following the Brazilian national team's victory. " He'll be flying on the right wing for Flamengo next year ," wrote one Rio fan. Another asked, " Would it be crazy to invest in him next year? " The comments demonstrate the fans' desire to see the striker wearing the red-and-black jersey, even without any negotiations underway.
Luiz Henrique's contract with Zenit runs until 2028. His market value is estimated at €25 million (approximately R$159 million). For the Russian team, the striker has made 19 appearances, scoring two goals and providing four assists. Currently, there are no ongoing negotiations involving Flamengo, but Luiz Henrique's name continues to fuel debate and hopes among Flamengo fans.
