Corinthians technical assistant celebrates victory against Flamengo: “We were superior”
After the match against Corinthians, coach Ramon Díaz and his son, assistant Emiliano Díaz, were present in the press room at Neo Química Arena. Díaz states that the home team was superior in the match and comments on Ramon Abatti Abel's refereeing.
“The mental part was how we played in Bahia and we were superior. Fortaleza and Atlético-MG, too. What happens is when the ball doesn't go in, all the work is bad. But we are doing a great job, and the players believe it. Outside, the results may overshadow the work. But we were superior on all sides.”
“The mental part was to have more care and luck so that the ball goes in and it seems like the work is fantastic, but it's not like that. Coritnhians has a squad to fight for up there. But when the ball doesn't go in it seems like the job isn't done well. This group knows there's a little bit left to work and today it did.”
Arbitration
“About the referee, I didn't say anything today. But he wanted to take him (Ramón) or me away. It's right. He was looking for something. But with Corinthians it doesn't change. We are 35 million fans. You have to be careful. If they want to overthrow Corinthians, they have to kill 35 million people. It's not that easy. We don't want them to help us, but not to harm us. We want them to be neutral. Be very careful with Corinthians. They can do whatever they want, but with this group, the fans and the club it will be very difficult to fight. I didn't like the refereeing. But be careful and be neutral. That they neither help us nor harm us. Today we played 18 minutes longer. Is it normal”?

Midfielder Erick Pulgar took an important step towards returning to play for Flamengo . Tests carried out this Friday (12) showed the consolidation of the fracture in the fifth metatarsal of the right foot , allowing the player to be released to begin activities on the pitch.
With medical clearance, Pulgar now begins the transition to field work . The Chilean will continue physical therapy to resume running, progress to ball-handling activities, and then enter the physical conditioning phase, the final phase before returning to official matches.
The midfielder hasn't played since the Club World Cup in June. After surgery on July 3, Pulgar spent some time in Chile and then returned to Ninho do Urubu to continue his treatment. Until then, he had been working out in the training center's indoor area.
The injury occurred during the Club World Cup Round of 16 match against Bayern Munich. The midfielder had already suffered the same type of fracture in his first months at the club, when it took him about 60 days to return to the squad.
Although coach Filipe Luís stated that he was counting on the Chilean for the Libertadores quarterfinals, it is unlikely that he will be on the field for the matches against Estudiantes , scheduled for September 18 and 25. Pulgar is expected to be available later in the season, reinforcing Flamengo's role in the ongoing competitions.

Coach Filipe Luís turned down an offer from Fenerbahçe of Turkey to remain with the club he leads at Flamengo. According to a report by the UOL portal, the European club approached Flamengo's board and expressed formal interest in the coach . Despite admitting his desire to one day work in European football, Filipe Luís preferred not to open negotiations , understanding that his career in Brazil is still ongoing.
Fenerbahçe even signaled financial compensation to the Rio de Janeiro club , but as neither the coach nor the board were willing to end the current project, the talks did not progress.
The club's management has already submitted a contract renewal proposal to Filipe Luís , valid until the end of 2026 and renewable for another year, including a salary increase. The coach, who signed in 2024 with a salary lower than that of the country's elite coaches , has not yet pushed for a raise and has promised to submit a counterproposal.
Filipe Luís has always publicly stated his ambition to coach European clubs. However, he understands that he is undergoing a process of professional development and that remaining in Brazil helps in this development. Internally, this vision is seen as a positive factor in maintaining his position at least until next season.
In addition to Fenerbahçe, Germany's Bayer Leverkusen has also recently expressed interest in Filipe Luís. Even so, the board believes the coach won't leave Mengão at this time to pursue a project abroad, and is confident he'll stay until the end of his current term at Flamengo .
