Jorge Jesus continues to make history in football around the world. This time, the Portuguese coach, who had already led Al-Hilal to the world record for consecutive victories, won the Saudi Championship title. The team beat Al-Hazm, this Saturday, 4-1, and reached the 19th Saudi Pro League trophy, with three rounds to spare.
Al-Hilal's campaign, beyond the record of victories, is historic in terms of success. Today, on the day they won the Saudi title, Jorge Jesus' team's campaign has an incredible 95.70% success rate, with 89 points in 31 matches, 29 wins and two draws. For comparison purposes, Flamengo's historic campaign in 2019 was a 78.9% success rate.
Even if Al-Hilal does not score more points in the competition in the final three rounds, the team will continue to have a better performance compared to Flamengo in 2019. If it remains at 89 points, the success will be 87.25%.
Undefeated in the Saudi Championship, Al-Hilal will still play three matches in the competition. Jorge Jesus' team visits Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luís Castro's team, on May 17th, then hosts Al-Taee, on the 23rd, and ends the season against Al-Wehda, away from home.

In preparation for this weekend's clash against Flamengo , Juventude received good news. Coach Thiago Carpini will have striker Edison Negueba and midfielder Sforza, newly signed at the end of the transfer window, available for the first time . Alongside them, Lucas Fernandes returns after a period under medical care, expanding the coach's options to face Filipe Luís's Rubro-Negro.
While reinforcements are arriving, Juventude is also experiencing significant absences . Batalla and Giraldo are serving suspensions, while defender Abner is on the medical team. Luan Freitas is the favorite to fill the defensive spot.
Among those who remain out, the list includes five names: defenders Rodrigo Sam (thigh injury) and Natã (muscle injury), right-back Ewerthon (thigh problem) and forwards Galego (ankle) and Gilberto (thigh).
The newly arrived reinforcements give Juventude greater flexibility in midfield and attack. Sforza can play centrally to strengthen the marking and ball out , while Edison Negueba adds speed and depth on the wings. Lucas Fernandes emerges as an alternative to start or change the pace of play during the match.
With 14 wins, five draws, and just two losses in 21 matches , Flamengo leads Serie A with 47 points. Cruzeiro (44) and Palmeiras (43) are close behind. Juventude, in turn, occupies 18th place, with 21 points from 21 matches, six wins, three draws, and 12 losses.
The striker was traded to a Saudi Arabian club and, as they still hold 30% of the player's rights, Mengão will be entitled to a millionaire sum.

Flamengo will have a new financial return with the transfer of Lázaro, an attacking midfielder who came through the Flamengo youth academy . The player left Almería, in Spain, and was sold to Al-Najma, in Saudi Arabia, for 5 million euros (around R$ 32 million). The deal was confirmed this Wednesday (10).
In the 2022 sale, Flamengo had already earned €7 million (R$36 million at the time) and retained 30% of the economic rights . The contract also provided for the purchase of an additional 5% if Lázaro started 25 matches, which did not materialize.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Almería retained 15% of the rights to a future resale. Flamengo, on the other hand, will receive €1.5 million (approximately R$9.5 million) for the resale clause in the negotiations with the Spanish club.
Furthermore, the Rio de Janeiro club will also benefit from FIFA's solidarity mechanism, which guarantees a percentage of its revenue to training teams. In total, the club's revenue will exceed R$10 million from the deal.
Revealed at Ninho do Urubu, Lázaro made his senior debut in 2020, in a 1-1 draw against Palmeiras in the Brasileirão. For Flamengo, he played 62 matches, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists. He even had a stint with the club in 2024.
For Flamengo, the striker also participated in successful campaigns, winning a Libertadores, a Copa do Brasil, a Brasileirão and a Campeonato Carioca before moving to European football, where he never managed to achieve the same brilliance.
