The red-and-black was distressed after images of Gerson limping after Thursday's victory (15) 2-0 over Bolívar in the Libertadores at Maracanã. During the match, Pedro and Gabigol left feeling pain in their thighs and fans were concerned about the Flamengo availability for the sequence heavy with games. But the number 8 reassured the Flamengo fans.
About an hour after the end of the game, Gerson said he felt pain due to a blow he suffered from a player from the Bolivian team. Flamengo's captain said he will recover for duel against Botafogo, which he treated as “war”. “So I stole the ball from the opponent and it hit me in the knee. The lock remained, I turned my knee a little. It's hurting a little, but I'll recover tomorrow, because there's already a war on Sunday.”, stated the number 8.
Gerson believes that Flamengo played a good game and deserved a victory with a more elastic score. The captain credits the 2-0 result to the good performance of Bolívar's goalkeeper Carlos Lampe.
“We knew it would be a difficult game. I thought in the locker room that it was important for us to use the home advantage. We were playing at home, with the support of our fans. From the beginning we showed the opponent that we wanted to score a goal right away. We continued to press and managed to make it 2-0. In my opinion, I think we had the chance to score other goals, but the goalkeeper did well. Victory is important, advantage is important. We also know that it will be a very difficult game there because of the attitude. Now it’s time to rest and before this game we will focus on the classic”, declared Gerson.
The Flamengo captain was yet another to criticize the Brazilian football calendar, endorsing the chorus of Tite and < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/arrascaeta-faz-duras-criticas-a-calendario-brasileiro-apos-lesao-de-pedro-e-junto-dificil" target="_blank">Arrascaeta< /a> in interviews after the first game of the Libertadores round of 16. “It’s complicated, right? The sequence of games, there are many games one after the other. Sometimes we only have two days to rest, it's difficult. As I said before, unfortunately we have nothing to do. Our board has already spoken, other clubs are also speaking. But it's not up to me to come here and talk, we have to get on the field and do our best. I hope it's nothing too serious (with Pedro), but we also have a strong cast. And whoever plays will be prepared to do my job”, concluded the Joker.

At just 18 years old, Léo Nannetti took center stage in the U-20 World Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium. The Flamengo goalkeeper was instrumental in the 2-2 draw in regulation time and shone in the penalty shootout , saving two shots in the 6-5 victory over Barcelona. The goalkeeper's impeccable performance cemented Mengão's title, securing their second title in the intercontinental youth competition.
Before the ball rolled, Léo Nannetti said he received a special message from Agustín Rossi, the starting goalkeeper for the professional squad. The encouragement served as fuel for a great performance: " Rossi sent me a message before the game to reassure me. I was able to put into practice what he and the goalkeeping coach, André, had said. We did a very detailed study and, thank God, I was able to be decisive," he said.
Emotional after the match, Nannetti highlighted the importance of the moment he experienced and the trajectory he built at the club: "It's wonderful to win this title so young alongside my brothers. I've been at Flamengo since 2016. Winning a World Cup with them is unforgettable," he declared.
With solid performances, the goalkeeper confirms his status as a promising young player. He has made 17 official appearances in 2025 and has established himself as one of the most promising players of the 2007 generation.
While the young goalkeeper celebrates, the professional team prepares to face Vitória this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã. More than 35 thousand tickets have already been sold, and the expectation is that the audience will exceed 50 thousand fans.

In a packed Maracanã, Flamengo beat Barcelona on penalties 6-5 , after a thrilling draw in normal time, and secured their second U-20 World Cup title this Saturday (23). The victory consolidated the good moment of the red-black youth team, which once again overcame one of the main clubs in Europe .
Among the protagonists was Matheus Gonçalves , who had a special afternoon. The striker, about to say goodbye to the category, celebrated the achievement with emotion: "It was special. We were raised together since we were little, it has a special taste. My last title with the under-20. I have to congratulate Léo (Nannetti, goalkeeper) and Bruno (Pivetti, coach). It's the second Intercontinental and we are two-time champions. Very happy for everything", he declared.
At 20 years old, having turned 20 on August 18th, the attacking midfielder will dedicate himself exclusively to the first team under Filipe Luís . In 2025, he made 15 professional appearances , including three goals in the Campeonato Carioca.
Despite the confidence of the coaching staff, Gonçalves has only played 313 minutes on the field this season , making his streak difficult due to the strong competition for position with Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata.
Interest in Matheus Gonçalves isn't new. The player was nearly traded to Cruzeiro for €3.5 million, but the deal fell through . However, foreign clubs remain vigilant: CSKA Moscow (Russia) and Olympiacos (Greece) are evaluating the possibility of formalizing offers before the international window closes in September.
More than 50,000 fans are expected to support Mais Querido, who will face the Bahian team this Monday in the Brasileirão.
