On the Brazilian football scene in 2023, one name has stood out as the master of dribbling, leaving opponents astonished and fans ecstatic with each game. That name is Gerson, a player whose ability with the ball at his feet is truly exceptional. With 15 successful dribbles and just 4 wrong ones in 20 games, he has established himself as one of the country's main talents.
To understand the magnitude of this feat, it is important to highlight the importance of dribbling in modern football. Dribbling not only breaks down the opponent's defense, but also elevates the art of the sport, adding a touch of spectacle that captivates fans. Gerson, in this context, has shown himself to be a true artist with the ball. In each match in which Gerson enters the field, expectations increase. The fans eagerly await the next brilliant play he will provide. His dribbling is unpredictable, making him a nightmare for any scorer. The ease with which he leaves his opponents behind is remarkable.
But Gerson's success is not just due to his technical ability. His vision of the game and ability to make quick decisions make him a complete player. He knows when to dribble and when to pass the ball, which makes him a valuable asset to his team. Furthermore, Gerson is a player who demonstrates an enviable work ethic. He is not content with just being a skilled dribbler; he is always striving to improve other aspects of his game, such as marking and passing. This makes him even more valuable to his team.
Another notable aspect of Gerson is his ability to dribble in pressure situations. Even when marked closely by two or three opponents, he manages to escape with the ball at his feet. This ability to dribble under pressure makes him a formidable player in decisive matches. Gerson's consistency is another point worth highlighting. It's not just about one or two exceptional games; he maintains a high level of performance throughout the season. This is evidenced by the fact that he has accumulated 15 successful dribbles in 20 games.
In addition, his humility and teamwork are admirable. He not only seeks individual prominence, but is always willing to serve as a fundamental piece in his team's collective strategy. This mindset is crucial to any player's success. Gerson is also an example off the field. He dedicates time to social causes and uses his prominent position to make a difference in the community. His inspiring attitude makes him a role model for young football hopefuls.
We cannot fail to mention Gerson's influence on matches. His talent has the power to energize not only his teammates, but also the fans. Stadiums come to life when he has the ball, creating an electric environment that drives his team forward. Like every great player, Gerson also attracts the attention of foreign clubs. His exceptional ability does not go unnoticed by international scouts, which raises the question of how far he can go in his career.
In short, Gerson is, without a doubt, one of the players who dribble the most in Brazilian football in 2023. His talent, work ethic, humility and ability to influence the game make him an exceptional athlete. As he continues to delight fans and break down opposition defenses, we can expect his name to shine brighter on the football stage, both nationally and internationally.

Anthony Martial, a former Flamengo target, was officially announced by AEK Athens (GRE) and will arrive in Greece this Wednesday (18). The 28-year-old striker was without a contract since leaving Manchester United (ING) in June 2024. Martial was considered by Flamengo after Pedro's injury, who will only return to the pitch in 2025.
AEK Athens announced the signing of Anthony Martial through social media and called on fans to welcome him. “The magician is coming!!! Appointment at the airport!!! Arrival: Anthony Martial. Time: 20:40. Location: El. Venizelos Airport Meeting point: Exit 7.”
Anthony Martial at Flamengo
Since February this year, Anthony Martial's businesspeople offered the player to Flamengo, when he was still linked to Manchester United. After Pedro's injury, the Frenchman's representatives once again introduced Martial to Mengão. However, negotiations did not progress due to the demands of the player's representatives, who asked for more than R$2 million in salaries and gloves, in addition to a three-year contract. Flamengo did not accept these conditions, and the negotiation went cold.
Substitute for Pedro
Pedro, top scorer for Flamengo and Brazil, suffered an injury during a training session with the Brazilian team, breaking the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. The striker is only expected to return in 2025. With the failure of negotiations with Anthony Martial, Flamengo now relies on Bruno Henrique, Carlinhos and Gabigol to continue the season.
In addition, Flamengo reinforced the attack with the signings of Michael and Gonzalo Plata in the last transfer window. Although they don't perform exactly the same role as Pedro, Michael is injured and should return in mid-October, while Gonzalo Plata debuted against Vasco last Sunday (15) and made a good impression on the fans.

The Argentine will have the chance to resume a dream that was interrupted four years ago.
While Flamengo has already won three titles and is looking for an unprecedented fourth in the Libertadores, the most Alcaraz achieved in the competition was reaching the quarterfinals. final in 2020. That season, aged 17, the midfielder played five matches for Racing and was eliminated by Boca Juniors. Racing won the first game 1-0 at El Cilindro, but lost 2-0 at Bombonera.
"I played in the Libertadores with Racing, but playing with Flamengo is a really beautiful challenge. I'm with a lot of desire to face the next phase of the Libertadores, which will be very difficult, but I am very convinced with the group", said the midfielder in his presentation.
That year, without the presence of fans due to the pandemic of Covid-19, Alcaraz was one of the highlights against Flamengo. Racing eliminated Rubro-Negro in the round of 16 after two 1-1 draws, with the Argentine converting the fourth penalty in the penalty shootout. The following year, Alcaraz played just one match in the group stage and, in 2022, he was sold to Southampton, from England.

Tite, current coach of Flamengo, was direct when commenting on the tight calendar of Brazilian football and the idea of sparing players amid the intense sequence of games. In a recent interview, he spared no criticism of the current competition model in the country and made it clear that, contrary to what many suggest, he has no intention of arbitrarily preserving players in decisive moments.
Tite's main criticism revolves around the excess of games throughout the season. The Brazilian calendar is historically tight, with competitions such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Libertadores, and, in years of the World Cup or Copa América, there is still the weight of international team tournaments. This scenario means that clubs, especially the big ones, have to deal with an exorbitant number of matches in a short space of time, which increases the wear and tear on players and, consequently, the risk of injuries.
However, despite this situation, the coach made it clear that it is not in his plans to adopt a strategy of rotating players indiscriminately. "No one spares", said Tite, in response to suggestions that Flamengocould rest its main athletes in some games. He highlighted that sparing athletes without a clear justification, just with the intention of preserving the squad, would be a risky attitude, especially considering the pressure for immediate results in a club of Flamengo's magnitude.
Tite was also emphatic when explaining that, when making decisions about the lineup, he takes into account several factors, including the physical condition of the athletes, the importance of the match and the team's long-term planning. "Am I going to save my job? Put my job at risk?", joked the coach, highlighting that, in a club with pressure and expectations like Flamengo, a bad result can be costly, including a coach's position.
The Brazilian football calendar is one of the most intense in the world. While in many European countries clubs play, on average, between 45 and 50 matches per season, in Brazil this number easily exceeds 70, considering all competitions. Furthermore, long trips between states, climate variations and the difference in the quality of lawns contribute to the wear and tear of athletes.
