This last Saturday (8), Flamengo under-20 debuted in the Campeonato Carioca on the right foot. This is because Mais Querido, led by Mário Jorge, who could leave the club to take over the under-17 team in Saudi Arabia, beat Madureira away from home by 2-1.


Before the ball rolled, Mário Jorge conceded a interview with FlaTV, where he confirmed that he will be leaving Flamengo: “Today is possibly my last game at the club. We have already secured a place in the Libertadores for 2025 and in the World Cup now in August, and we also achieved it in Carioca, which gives us a place in the Copa do Brasil in 2025.”


MATCH SUMMARY


The game started off busy, but it was Madureira who took the lead. In the 13th minute, Zaru opened the scoring for the home team. However, Mais Querido reacted in the final stretch of the initial stage. That's because Victor Silva left everything the same at 33'. Felipe Teresa turned the match around for Rubro-Negro at 441.

FLAMENGO SITUATION


With the victory, Mais Querido won the three points and now shares the lead with Vasco, who also won by the same score. Furthermore, Rubro-Negro now has four unbeaten matches, including the category's Brasileirão.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME

Now, Rubro-Negro will play again in the next Saturday (15), at 2:45 pm, at Estádio da Gávea, in a match valid for the second round of the Carioca under-20. The confrontation will be broadcast live on FlaTV, on YouTube.

Young Marcelo Portela drew attention on social media after a play in which he left Vini Jr. on the ground during a futsal match . The play, which ended in a goal, went viral and catapulted the athlete to national prominence.


His talent didn't go unnoticed. Flamengo reached an agreement with Botafogo to sign the midfielder to strengthen its under-15 squad. The deal involved splitting the player's rights between the clubs. The information was initially reported by the "Flazoeiro" profile.


PLAYER WAS AUTHOR OF VIRAL DRIBBLE


After the play, Vini Jr. reacted humorously and even took a photo with Portela, a gesture that further increased the video's impact. Shortly after, the number 7 returned to Spain and was instrumental in Real Madrid's La Liga performance.

In the victory over Mallorca, the Flamengo-trained striker scored the winning goal with a solo effort, dribbling past the defense and firing a cross-shot into the net. The result solidified the Brazilian's good form, which had been the target of criticism in his home country.



AND THE MARKET IN THE PROFESSIONAL TEAM

Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.

Flamengo's U-20 team returned to the field this week, in their first match after winning the Intercontinental Cup for the second time against Barcelona at the Maracanã Stadium . Playing at the Marcelo Vieira Stadium in Xerém, the "Garotos do Ninho" showed intensity and defeated Fluminense 4-0.


In a fifth-round match of the U-20 Rio de Janeiro State Championship, Guilherme was the star of the match, scoring a hat trick. Joshua also made his mark, completing the score in the red-and-black victory.


Under the command of coach Bruno Pivetti, the U-20 team remains undefeated in ten games, accumulating seven wins. With the victory, the team reached 10 points in four matches played in the Carioca. The next match will be another classic: Flamengo faces Vasco da Gama, on Saturday (6), at 9:30 am, in Gávea.


GUILHERME DECIDES WITH HAT TRICK

The match started evenly, with Fluminense taking the lead on two occasions. But just six minutes in, Fluminense opened the scoring: Guilherme found Pedro Leão , who shot; the goalkeeper saved, and Joshua pounced on the rebound.


In the 21st minute, after pressure from Tricolor, Guilherme scored the second with a precise finish after an assist from Daniel Sales . Still in the first half, the red-and-black number 10 shone with individual plays: he dribbled past the defense and scored the third in the 42nd minute, before completing his hat trick shortly after, closing the score at 4-0.

In the final stage, the pace dropped, but Flamengo continued to create chances, particularly through Pedro Leão, who threatened with shots from medium and close range . Despite the pressure, the score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

Internacional's youth teams have a new manager, and he's an old acquaintance of Flamengo. Mário Jorge, the 2023 U-20 Libertadores champion for Rubro-Negro, was announced by the Rio Grande do Sul club and was introduced last Monday (25), in Porto Alegre.


The coach had been free on the market since August 11, when he ended his brief stint in Saudi Arabian football , where he managed the under-17 team. Thus, the period of inactivity lasted less than a month.


Leaving Flamengo changed Filipe Luís's path


Mário Jorge's departure from Flamengo paved the way for Filipe Luís's rise . The former full-back, who had been in charge of the Flamengo U-17s, took over the Flamengo U-20s at the Club World Cup. Playing a key role, he led the team to a comeback against Olympiacos (GRE) and won the competition for the first time.

International success boosted the board's confidence in Filipe Luís , who was soon promoted to the first team. After Tite's dismissal, the former player took over the first team and quickly won the Copa do Brasil, eliminating Corinthians and defeating Atlético-MG at the MRV Arena.


REUNION WITH FLAMENGO ON THE HORIZON?

There's a chance Mário Jorge will soon be reunited with Flamengo . The CBF's schedule includes the U-20 Brazil Cup, a competition whose matchups have yet to be determined . If the clubs cross paths, the coach could face the very team with which he experienced one of the most memorable moments of his career.
