In this week's training, the Flamengo worked without defining a starting lineup for the clash against Bahia, which will take place next Sunday. Filipe Luís, Mengão's current interim coach, chose not to outline the complete formation, but the only change planned for the duel is the departure of Alex Sandro, giving way to Ayrton Lucas at left-back. Even without a clear definition of the initial formation, the signs point to this substitution due to a physical issue involving the current full-back.
The expectation is that Flamengo will enter the field with the following formation: Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Erick Pulgar, De la Cruz, Gerson and Arrascaeta; Bruno Henrique and Gabigol. With this, Filipe Luís' idea is to maintain the base he played in the last few matches, maintaining defensive balance and offensive creativity. The change at left-back aims to give more impetus to the sector and guarantee a greater offensive presence on the side, as Ayrton is known for his attack support and finishing ability.
GABIGOL RETAKES CONFIDENCE
Although the change may seem small, it can have a significant impact on team performance. With Ayrton Lucas on the left, the team gains speed and another option for triangulations and baseline plays. In comparison, Alex Sandro is a more defensive player, who values solid marking and positioning. tactical. Filipe Luís, who is also a former full-back, knows the importance of maintaining balance in this sector, but believes that, against Bahia, the team needs more offensive strength.
In addition, Ayrton Lucas has been an important part of the squad and has been asking for a ticket to become an absolute starter. His performance in training and his ability to play as a winger in a possible formation with three defenders also weighed on the coach's decision.
< b>VARIABLES IN THE MATCH
Despite the initial lineup being this, Filipe Luís usually promotes tactical adjustments throughout the games depending on the circumstances. If you need more defensive solidity, Alex Sandro can be an alternative in the second half to maintain defensive intensity. If the game requires more speed and depth, Ayrton Lucas will have space to continue advancing and creating opportunities.
Gerson and Arrascaeta are also fundamental pieces in midfield. Gerson, with his ability to control the game and recovery capacity, provides more security so that Arrascaeta can float between the opposing defense lines and create chances for the attackers. The harmony between these two players will be decisive for the team's success in the match.

Atlético-MG secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil by eliminating Flamengo in a penalty shootout on Wednesday night (6) at Arena MRV. Despite the 1-0 defeat in normal time, Galo won the penalty shootout, winning 4-3. The game's goal was scored by Everton Cebolinha, still in the first half.
Right after the final whistle, Atlético investor Rubens Menin celebrated effusively backstage at the stadium, praising the fans and taking the opportunity to taunt the Rio de Janeiro club. " This is the third time we've 'gobbled up' by Flamengo. There was the Copa do Brasil, where we beat them 4-1, the Super Cup, and now. There's no doubt about it. It's good. Three times for Flamengo is good," said the businessman.
Despite the provocation, Flamengo also has reason to be proud of its recent history. In 2024, the Rio de Janeiro club defeated Atlético-MG in the final and became the first team to win a title inside the new MRV Arena, a feat that remains in the history of Atlético's new home. On that occasion, Flamengo won 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro, and 1-0 in Minas Gerais.
With the elimination from the Copa do Brasil, Rubro-Negro now turns its attention to the other two competitions it still competes in this season: the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores da América.
Leader of the Brasileirão with 37 points, the team led by Filipe Luís faces Mirassol next Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm , at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the competition. The expectation is a full house, with the fans supporting the team in the search for maintaining the leadership.

Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique will be tried at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) on charges of forcing a yellow card to benefit bettors during the match against Santos, in the 2023 Brazilian Championship . The trial is scheduled to take place in early September.
Although there is no official date yet, the case was forwarded to the 1st Disciplinary Committee of the STJD, whose next session takes place on August 18. However, due to the large volume of cases on the agenda, Bruno Henrique's trial was postponed to the next session, scheduled for September 1 (Monday), according to information from the newspaper O Globo.
With this, the player is cleared to play in the two matches against Internacional , valid for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, on August 13th and 20th . Starting in September, however, the athlete may become a significant absence, depending on the outcome of the case. The complaint is still under review, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.
The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The player's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed," the player's representatives told the Coluna do Fla website.
