The club has serious problems to face

Flamengo's performance in September 2024 was marked by numbers that highlight a worrying fluctuation for a club that traditionally competes for titles on all fronts. With six matches played in the period, the team had just one win, two draws and three defeats, resulting in a success rate of just 27.8%. This represents a performance well below expectations and puts the team on alert, especially in the Brazilian Championship, where they were second to bottom during this period.
In offensive terms, Flamengomarked just five goals all month. The low productivity is reflected in the average of 18.2 shots needed to convert each goal. This data highlights an efficiency problem in the offensive sector, which is something that needs to be resolved urgently by the coach and technical committee. With high-level players in the squad, such as Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Pedro, a much better performance in this regard was expected, but the lack of harmony and creative problems have compromised performance.
A FLAMENGO WHO HAS SCREAMING PROBLEMS
Defensively, the numbers are also worrying. The team conceded seven goals in six matches, with an average of 8.3 shots from opponents for each goal conceded. In other words, the defense has demonstrated fragility, failing to prevent rivals' attacks from converting into clear chances and, consequently, goals. This defensive performance puts pressure on the marking system and on the goalkeepers, who end up being overloaded.
Another relevant point in the Red and Black performance was the percentage of ball possession, which stood at 61.7% . Although it is an expressive number, reflecting the attempt to control the games, the team was unable to transform this possession into effective actions. The high percentage of possession did not translate into a volume of quality shots, nor into superiority in matches, revealing that Flamengo found it difficult to transform territorial dominance into dangerous situations for the opponent.
Beyond the numbers which show the low performance, the team had a month of contrasts in terms of results in the tournaments they compete in. Flamengo was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, a competition that has historically been one of the club's priorities and in which a leading performance is always expected. The elimination generated a negative repercussion and increased pressure on the squad and the coaching staff, since the Libertadores is one of the club's main goals every year.
On the other hand, in the Copa do Brasil, o Flamengomanaged to advance, remaining in the fight for an important title and with the potential to save the season. However, the divided focus and the accumulated wear and tear in both competitions seem to have affected the performance in the Brasileirão. With just one point added in five rounds, the team ended the month in second place in the Brazilian Championship for the period. This poor performance in the national tournament is worrying, as the distance to the top positions and the classification zone for the Libertadores could increase quickly if recovery does not occur in the next rounds.

Attacking midfielder Matheus Gonçalves is expected to leave Flamengo in the next transfer window, but the young Flamengo prospect's destination is likely to be international football. According to the Gaúcha ZH website, despite Grêmio's interest in taking the player on loan, Flamengo's board prefers to negotiate with clubs abroad.
In the Brazilian Championship, Matheus has only played three matches , which still allows him to play for another team in the same edition of the tournament, as the limit is six matches. However, Flamengo has no interest in loaning him to teams competing in Serie A.
Atlético-MG even opened negotiations to take Matheus Gonçalves from Flamengo
Before Grêmio, Atlético-MG also attempted to sign Matheus Gonçalves, but negotiations failed. The youngster, considered one of the club's promising young players , is seeking more opportunities to develop. With a contract until the end of 2027, Matheus is keen on an experience abroad.
