The long-awaited clash between Flamengo and Botafogo is scheduled for this Saturday night, at 9 pm (Brasília time), as part of the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. At Estádio Nilton Santos, Rubro-Negro will seek a victory that would reduce the disadvantage for the leader of the table to 12 points.
To achieve this goal, Jorge Sampaoli plans to cast the young Igor Jesus as a starter at Flamengo. The choice of key players in the starting line-up will be fundamental for the team's strategy in this important match. Among them, the defensive midfielder in the starting 11, and the experienced Pulgar as a defender.
According to information from the GE, Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli conducted a training session in the open field this Friday, and on the eve of the Rio classic. Therefore, if he enters the field, Igor Jesus will start playing again after an interval of 178 days, when he was in the starting lineup against Fluminense, in a match of the Campeonato Carioca in March.
In addition to Igor Jesus, Sampaoli also promoted other changes in the team. Agustín Rossi, an Argentine goalkeeper who hasn't played yet, should make his debut for Flamengo. At right-back, Matheuzinho is training in Wesley's place, while Allan has gained a place in midfield. Pedro should be the team's offensive reference, with Gabigol on the bench.
So, cheers from the crowd from Flamengo, Igor Jesus will have another chance in the professional team. Highlight of the under-20, the 20-year-old midfielder drew attention in the match against Fluminense, due to his intensity and marking power. Thus, a promise from the base, the number 48 recently renewed his contract with the club. His new contract runs until December 2025, with a termination fine of €50 million.

Agustín Rossi remains one of the main figures in Flamengo's squad, but talks about a contract renewal are only expected to take place in 2026. The Flamengo board decided to postpone the negotiations, as the goalkeeper's current contract is valid until December 2027 , allowing for more relaxed planning for both parties.
Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro club has supported the athlete's naturalization process, as he seeks Brazilian citizenship. The board believes this step could make Rossi's personal life easier and contribute to roster planning , especially regarding the number of foreign players available.
At 30 years old, Rossi is considered a key player in Filipe Luís's team. In recent weeks, the Argentine goalkeeper has had standout performances, saving three penalties in Libertadores and Brasileirão matches. His performances have reinforced the confidence of the coach and the fans, solidifying him as one of the team's leaders.
Even though Flamengo is in no rush to renew, it is already planning to offer a salary increase and extend the contract until 2028. Internally, the good relationship between the player and the club is seen as essential for a future agreement without major impasses.
Flamengo will return to action on October 15th, after the FIFA World Cup break, in a derby against Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium. The squad will have Monday off before resuming training.

The Gazeta do Urubu website spoke with a source close to Flamengo about rumors that negotiations for Filipe Luís's contract renewal have been halted following the team's recent results. The response, however, was blunt: " No. His renewal is very advanced, close to completion ."
The coach's contract is expected to be extended until the end of 2027 , reinforcing the board's confidence in his work. Furthermore, the former player will receive a significant salary increase, as his salary is still that of an 'interim coach.'
Since taking over as Flamengo 's coach, Filipe Luís has already won three important titles: the Copa do Brasil in 2024, as well as the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca in 2025. Rubro-Negro is also still in the fight for more trophies this season , leading the Brasileirão for a good part of it and qualified for the Libertadores semi-finals.
One of Filipe Luís's most memorable moments was the victory over Corinthians in the 2024 Copa do Brasil, when he managed to reorganize the team after a player was sent off in the first half , guaranteeing qualification with precise adjustments in defense.
Flamengo will not return to action until October 15th, after the FIFA World Cup break, when they will face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The derby is scheduled for 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium, known as Engenhão. The squad is expected to have Monday off before returning to training.
