In a terrible phase of the season, Corinthians, despite being alive in all the competitions they compete in, find themselves in a dangerous situation in the Brasileirão. Fans of the São Paulo team are worried because of the match against Flamengo this Sunday (1) in the Brazilian Championship. The commentator and idol of São Paulo, Neto, is one of those who did not spare words and sees a red-and-black victory.
On his program “Os Donos da Bola”, on Band, “Craque” Neto stated that the lineup that is being speculated for Corinthians to face Flamengo is to 'take five', and also points out that there is only one way for coach Ramón Díaz's team to overcome Mengão.
“For me , he has to play 4-4-2, but he (Ramón Díaz) is fearful. I'll give the team: Hugo Souza, Fagner, André Ramalho, Cacá, Matheus Bidu; Ryan, Martínez, Rodrigo Garro, Talles Magno; Yuri Alberto and Giovane. But he doesn't go like that because he's fearful. It will take four, five”, said Neto.
The black and white idol stated that he does not like the selection of Corinthians coach, Ramón Díaz, due to the possibility of Argentinian take to the field against Flamengo with a lineup focused on the defensive system. Timão needs to win the game to get closer to leaving the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship.
With the return of defender Cacá to the starting lineup, the coach must opt for a lineup with three in the role, which has been his favorite, when he has the trio formed by André Ramalho, Félix Torres and Cacá at his disposal. In addition to the three defenders, midfielders Martínez and Raniele should be the starters and, including the full-backs/wingers, complete a team with 7 players focused on the defensive system as starters.
In case of defeat, Corinthians becomes even more complicated and is "sunk" in the relegation zone, the black and white's direct opponents have fewer games than the São Paulo team. Flamengo, having won the three points, provisionally takes third place with 47 points, being just one point behind second-placed Fortaleza and three behind leader Botafogo.

Pedro's situation at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. After being left out of the squad against São Paulo, the striker became a hot topic due to public criticism from the team's coach, Filipe Luís, who cited poor training performance as the reason for his exclusion.
The statement caused discomfort among the player's representatives, who are now considering a possible exit from the club. Behind the scenes, a member of Flamengo's football department even stated that they would accept a €15 million (R$97.5 million) offer to negotiate the player.
BUT AFTER ALL, HOW MUCH IS SHIRT NUMBER 9 WORTH ON THE MARKET?
According to the website Transfermarkt , Pedro is currently valued at €22 million , equivalent to R$143 million at the current exchange rate. So, see what
Evolution of Pedro's market value
- 05/2018 Fluminense €1.5 million
- 02/2019 Fluminense €9 million
- 08/2019 Fluminense €18 million
- 12/2019 Fiorentina €15 million
- 09/2020 Flamengo €12 million

- 11/2022 Flamengo €20 million
- 07/2023 Flamengo €22 million
- 06/2024 Flamengo €23 million

SITUATION AT FLAMENGO
Knee surgery and strain with the coaching staff caused Pedro's market value to stagnate after peaking in 2024. Now, even though he is valued at over R$140 million, Flamengo is considering selling him for much less than the estimated value.
It remains to be seen what the next step in the striker's career will be, and whether any club will be willing to pay the Rubro-Negro's desired price.

Flamengo has officially begun negotiations with Agustín Rossi regarding a possible contract renewal. The Argentine goalkeeper, whose contract runs until December 2027, has expressed his desire to extend his contract with the club, with a salary increase included in the negotiations. The information was released by journalist Gabriel Reis, known as "Paparazzo Rubro-Negro."
EVERYTHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ROSSI
Last Monday (14), Rossi's agent was at Ninho do Urubu to begin talks. The expectation is that the parties will move forward in July to align the terms of a new contract . Internally, the move is seen as a way to value a player who has established himself as a key part of the squad.
Rossi arrived at Flamengo at the start of the 2023 season, after excelling at Boca Juniors. With solid performances and consistency, he quickly assumed a starting position. Since then, he has put in strong performances and provides security in the defense. His current contract runs until the end of 2027, but the player's staff believes a raise is commensurate with his performance.
A TIME OF AFFIRMATION
Despite the interest in keeping Rossi for longer, the club's board, under the leadership of football director José Boto, has prioritized other renewals at the moment. Cases like that of full-back Guillermo Varela, whose contract runs until the end of this year, and midfielder Arrascaeta, whose contract runs until 2026, are on the immediate agenda.
Even without rushing, Rossi 's name is already on the table at the club's management. Boto understands that the appreciation of strategic assets is part of the club's policy, and that the Argentine goalkeeper, given his solid performance, deserves special consideration. The topic should advance in parallel with other areas of the football department.
