Supporters for the red-black fans' party at the Copa do Brasil Final only accumulate. After the 'vakinhas' went viral on social media, Flamengo players, artists and even athletes from abroad have already sent their donations. It is known that the accumulated value is already more than 70 thousand reais for the purchase of flags, flares, balloons, etc.

Wendell, from Zenit (RUS), transferred to one of the organized fan groups that will put the plan into practice. The star is a longtime Flamengo interest and has spoken, more than once, about wanting to wear the Sacred Mantle at some point in his career. In fact, the club tried to negotiate him with the Russians in the last transfer window, but it didn't work out.

In addition to him, Victor Hugo and Wesley, from the current Fla squad, supported the 'vakinha'. From Flamengo's base, donations came from Crias do Ninho Reinier and Rodrigo Muniz. As if it wasn't already a strong list, funk artists MC Maneirinho and Borges must be added. And we must not forget the thousands of anonymous fans who gave their support, even if they were not in the stadium.

Everything is being organized on social media. Namely the accounts of 'Torcida Urubuzada' and 'Nação 12', which launched the campaign to raise funds for the production of flags and red-black ornaments, which will be distributed to fans present at Maracanã.

The first leg at Flamengo's home will take place on September 17th. The ball starts rolling on the sacred Maraca lawn at 4pm (Brasília time). The next match, which will decide the competition, will, however, be with São Paulo as the home team. Thus, the party in the second game should be smaller on the 24th.

After a turbulent start to the season, Boto decided to reduce external communication and focus on internal results. The Flamengo director, who initially spoke openly to the press, both after matches and through digital channels, decided to change his stance after successive leaks of important information .

At the request of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) after a long meeting, Boto stopped any direct contact with major media outlets , starting to work more privately behind the scenes at the club.

The change in approach was accompanied by results . After a positive transfer window, in which he sought to fulfill coach Filipe Luís's main requests, the manager also managed to calm internal friction. Players like Arrascaeta , De La Cruz, and Pedro, who previously had a distant relationship with Boto, now have a more fluid and relaxed dialogue.

NEGOTIATIONS AND RENEWALS

Currently, Boto continues working on specific renewals, such as those of Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta. He also participated in sales negotiations for promising young players from the youth academy , such as Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran, reinforcing the strategic and quiet approach of his management.

NEXT COMMITMENTS

While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium .
