Much criticized by fans after the 1-1 draw with Grêmio , last Sunday (31), left-back Ayrton Lucas decided to delete his Instagram account. Since then, it is no longer possible to find the player's profile , who has defended Flamengo since 2022.
Starting in the absence of the injured Alex Sandro, Ayrton Lucas's performance was below expectations. To make matters worse, he was responsible for the play that led to Grêmio's equalizer : the ball hit his hand inside the box in the final minutes, resulting in the penalty kick being converted by the opponent. The incident generated strong dissatisfaction among fans, who were vocal in their criticism on social media. Although the full-back has not commented, his digital disappearance is seen as a reflection of the pressure he has received.
Filipe Luís on the fight for left-back at Flamengo: "It's difficult to choose"
Despite the turbulent times, the team boasts some strong options in the red-and-black squad. In addition to Ayrton Lucas, coach Filipe Luís has Alex Sandro and Matías Viña , both of whom have played for their national teams in World Cups. Alex Sandro, however, has been battling repeated injuries, while Viña recovered from a serious injury in 2024 and returned to action this season.
Thus, the race for the starting spot remains wide open. It remains to be seen whether Filipe Luís's confidence in Ayrton Lucas will prevail or whether Viña will gain more space in the team . In the post-match press conference, the coach indicated a preference for the Brazilian as the second man in the position, behind Alex Sandro.
"He (Ayrton Lucas) didn't start against Vitória because he had a family issue. At the level he's playing, it's difficult to choose. I chose the option I thought was best for the win . All three remain very good options for the coach to choose from and have a high-level full-back," the coach stated.
The team returns to action on September 14th, against Juventude, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Flamengo is looking to end a long winless streak at the Jaconero stadium . The last time they won there was on October 1st, 1997, when the score ended 1-0 to "Mais Querido" due to an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.
The classic promises a full house and great expectations from the Mengão fans, who are looking to maintain their lead in the Brasileirão against their traditional rival from Rio de Janeiro.

Coach Filipe Luís's strong form at Flamengo has been attracting attention in Europe. Besides leading the club to the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, the former full-back is also comfortably leading the Brasileirão , cementing his position as one of the leading names in the new generation of Brazilian coaches.
Flamengo 's campaign has gained international attention, especially after their victory over Chelsea in the World Cup. The attacking style implemented by Filipe Luís has been praised by experts and has sparked the interest of European club executives.
Among those interested, Bayer Leverkusen appears to be the coach's main monitor. Reporter Patrick Scherer revealed that the German club closely monitors Filipe Luís's work and believes he would be an important part of their future plans.
" Filipe Luís, from Flamengo, is an exciting candidate, he gets along very well with Simon (Rolfes) [Bayer Leverkusen's sporting director], who already wanted to sign him when he was still a player, " Scherer highlighted.
Despite the admiration, Leverkusen's board is currently searching for a more experienced coach to replace Erik Ten Hag. The possibility of Filipe Luís taking over the team has not been ruled out , but it is only seen in the near future.
