Flamengo's season was by far the worst possible for red and black fans. In addition to constant changes of coaches, painful eliminations, team playing poorly, players showing themselves out of shape, like Gabigol for example, and until then, no title won. However, despite the season being considered horrible by fans and management, the team could end up as Brazilian champion.
Currently, Flamengo is sixth in the Brasileirão with 57 points. But if Bragantino beats Bragantino in the delayed game this Thursday (23), they reach 60 and are two behind leader Palmeiras. The fact was commented by Gian Oddi, from ESPN. As the journalist at Sports Center said, two facts could leave Mengão alive in the dispute: victory at Maracanã and turnarounds that have already occurred in the competition.
“Depending on the result, Flamengo even has the ability to think about the title. I think everyone at the top of the table can think about the title, given how crazy this championship has been. Furthermore, due to the eternal twists and turns that have occurred. Palmeiras is the favorite, but I remember that in the defeat to Santos, he was practically discarded by everyone”, said Gian.
Gian Oddi praises Flamengo's squad and coach Tite
“The game will be decisive for Bragantino and Flamengo to say what the objective will be from now on. Flamengo is very strong, it has potential above any team in Brazil and now with an absolutely capable coach. If they win, they will be two points behind the leader, which is Palmeiras at the moment. Or three, if Botafogo beats Fortaleza. But Fla, having three points from Botafogo and two from Palmeiras, with four rounds to go, still has the means to dream of the title”, he concluded.
The match between Flamengo and Bragantino is for the delayed 30th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls at Maracanã at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast by the Premiere.

Striker Vitinho, recently signed by Corinthians , was officially presented at the São Paulo club this Tuesday. The former Flamengo player highlighted the warm welcome he received from Hugo Souza, Gustavo Henrique and Matheuzinho , players who played alongside him at Rubro-Negro.
"Matheuzinho (full-back) kept asking me if I was coming and I couldn't talk. He was a bit anxious, he wanted me to come and be here with him. They welcomed me with open arms, and that makes things much easier. I had this moment of welcoming them to the base. And now it's the other way around. Gustavo Henrique (defender) is someone with whom I have a very good relationship. It's good to be here with them," said Vitinho.
Despite his expected debut, Vitinho still doesn't have a confirmed date for his appearance for Corinthians . The striker emphasized that he needs time to adapt and be fully prepared physically.
Former Flamengo player Vitinho admits his anxiety at Corinthians: "I'm looking forward to my debut"
"I'm really looking forward to starting to play. But I really need some time. The staff is very qualified to get me in playing condition. I'm looking forward to making my debut, in the best possible conditions , given the situation we're experiencing today," said the new number 29.
Vitinho played for Flamengo between 2018 and 2022, winning nine titles during his time there, including the Brasileirão, Copa Libertadores, Supercopa do Brasil, and Campeonato Carioca. At the São Paulo club, he reunites with former teammates with whom he played for Flamengo 's youth academy and first team, strengthening his connection with the group.
With no place in English football, the 21-year-old striker is a target for a Minas Gerais team and could return to Brazil in search of more minutes on the field.

A standout in the Brazilian national team's youth ranks, Matheus França was promoted to Flamengo's senior team in 2022, scoring six goals in the victorious Libertadores and Copa do Brasil campaigns. In 2023, under Vítor Pereira, he maintained strong performances, with three goals and an assist in the first half of the year , before moving on to the Premier League.
The sale to Crystal Palace was brokered by John Textor, who was impressed by the youngster's performance in an under-20 match against Botafogo. The deal included a fixed €20 million and an additional €5 million in bonuses for targets that were not met.
Physical problems, such as back and thigh injuries, limited the Brazilian's adaptation to English football. In two seasons, Matheus França played 19 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Despite being part of the FA Cup-winning squad, he missed key moments , such as the recent Super Cup against Liverpool, when he wasn't even included in the squad.
Cruzeiro sees the loan as an opportunity to strengthen its squad without a significant immediate investment. The goal is for the player to get more playing time , while Crystal Palace seeks a destination that will favor his development. The deal's completion will depend on the English club's willingness to facilitate the transfer.
Negotiations with the Argentine striker lose momentum after the transfer ban imposed on Lazio, which prevents replacement in case of departure and reinforces the player's permanence

The Italian press has once again mentioned Taty Castellanos as a target for Flamengo, but internal sources confirm that the board is not in talks with the Lazio player. According to an investigation by Gazeta do Urubu , major signings would only happen if there was an unexpected departure or serious injury to a starter.
The obstacle is related to the punishment imposed on the Roman club, which received a transfer ban for failing to meet financial requirements. The measure prevents the registration of new players until September , making immediate replacements impossible in the event of departure negotiations.
Castellanos , who played 40 games last season and 46 the previous season , is seen as a strategic part of the squad. President Claudio Lotito assured coach Maurizio Sarri that there would be no more losses in the squad. The promise was reaffirmed by sporting director Angelo Fabiani: "I shook the coach's hand twice," he told the Italian newspaper.
According to the foreign publication, Lazio analyzed the striker's performance during a friendly against Burnley in England. Castellanos came on in the final minutes, appeared calm , and expressed no interest in leaving the club, reinforcing the board's commitment to keeping him.
In the market, Rubro-Negro is looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were evaluated, but without significant progress.
