Last Sunday, Maracanã was the stage for a spectacle not only within the four lines, but also in the stands and boxes. Flamengo fans were ecstatic with Tite's debut as coach of the Rio team and with the 1-0 victory over Vasco, scored by Gerson. However, one of the highlights of the night was not on the pitch, but rather enjoying a show in the party house that is attached to the stadium. Gabriel "Gabigol" Barbosa, one of Flamengo's main players, was caught in the box of a party house attached to Maracanã, watching rap singer Felipe Ret's show. What caught attention, however, was the fact that the striker did not take the stage, contrary to what one would expect from a celebrity at a public event.
The game in question marked the first match of Tite as Flamengo coach and it was expected that all eyes would be on Maracanã. The 1-0 victory over Vasco, one of the greatest classics in Brazilian football, made the moment even more special. Tite, who took charge of the team after Sampaoli's departure, was visibly moved by the support of the fans. The coach was full of praise for the players and highlighted the importance of the positive result.
However, Gabigol's presence in the box at the party house stole the show and generated discussions on social media and among fans. Many wondered why the attacker didn't take the stage to honor Felipe Ret, who is known for his popular songs on the national rap scene. Some speculated that Gabigol was avoiding public exposure, while others suggested he may have had some personal reason for not joining the singer on stage. In any case, the decision to remain in the box generated controversy and fueled conversations about the player on social media.
Felipe Ret, in turn, did not comment on Gabigol's presence at the event, focusing on his performance on stage, which was highly praised by the fans who filled the party house attached to Maracanã. The relationship between the world of football and the world of music is old and always generates interest from the public. Many players are known for their passion for music, attending shows and even venturing into a singing career.
In the case of Gabigol, he has shown his taste for music on several occasions, especially rap. However, his decision not to take the stage that night remains a mystery to many. Some fans argued that Gabigol's presence in the party house's box should not be a cause for controversy, as he was off work and had the right to enjoy his free time however he preferred. Others, however, considered that, given the player's visibility, his attitude could have been different.
Regardless of the differing opinions, what is clear is that Gabigol's presence in the box of a party house during the match between Flamengo and Vasco it did not go unnoticed. Whatever the reason for his decision, it sparked discussion and fueled social media for days after the game. This episode, however, serves as a reminder of how football players are public figures who are constantly under the watchful eye of the public and the media, even in their leisure time. As one of Flamengo's stars, Gabigol will continue to attract attention, both on and off the field, as his career progresses.

Alex Sandro was cautioned in the 11th minute for a hard foul on Christian without the ball. Léo Pereira was booked for fouling Kaio Jorge, accumulating infractions that resulted in a suspension . The absence of the duo forces changes in the red-and-black defense.
With the absences, coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes.

Bahia will have great difficulties when facing Flamengo this Sunday (5), in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 13 absences, a record number of the season , for the clash at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.
Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.
With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.
