The result between Central Córdoba and Flamengo , in the group stage of the South American Cup, not only affected the table, but also the emotions of the Argentine fans. The draw at home, added to the victory at Maracanã, was celebrated almost like a title in the city of Santiago del Estero.
The 1-1 score felt like a victory for Central. In the local view, facing Flamengo , even with a mixed team, still carries weight. To the point that the triumph at Maracanã has become a mural at the Argentine training center. The recent draw only reinforces this pride. We spoke with journalist Gustavo Paz, from the traditional newspaper El Liberal, who closely followed the mood in the city. According to him, the game was treated as a rare event, with the stands practically full an hour before kick-off.
“The stadium was 90% full well before the whistle blew . The fans sang from start to finish, supporting the team at all times. It was a festive atmosphere, full of pride. I have rarely seen anything like it in Santiago del Estero,” said Gustavo . For security reasons, a part of the stadium was cordoned off to protect Flamengo fans, but that didn’t stop the other areas from being completely full. For the locals, the presence of the Rubro-Negro was a spectacle in itself.
“Even with the reserved section, Central Córdoba fans sold out all available tickets. And it wasn’t just their presence, it was their support, excitement, and respect for the team. They applauded even in the difficult moments and recognized the effort at the end of the match,” added the journalist. The draw was, in fact, built with dedication. The Argentine team, at various moments of the game, managed to control the pace and prevailed against a more technically qualified opponent. This interpretation, in fact, is made clear by the local press.
“The general feeling is that Central Córdoba was better for much of the game. Flamengo, of course, had its chances and pressed. But Córdoba managed to play more in its own way, imposed its rhythm and had the maturity to seek an equalizer at the right moment,” said Gustavo. With the result, Central reached four points against Flamengo in the group stage — a performance that, even without guaranteeing an early spot, reinforces the team's confidence for the final games away from home, against LDU and Palestino.

Former player Muller, a four-time World Cup winner, praised Flamengo's squad in an interview with Charla Podcast, stating that the Rio de Janeiro club already boasts the best squad in South America. According to him, the team is prepared to compete in all competitions at full strength , in addition to having a significant financial advantage over its domestic rivals.
Muller emphasized that building its own stadium would be a game-changer for Mengão: " The only thing Flamengo needs and doesn't have yet is a stadium. If they have one, no one will stop them . It'll be 50, 60,000 people every game. If the Maracanã is already always full... imagine if they had their own stadium. Who's going to stop a team like that? Look at the revenue."
The project has been under discussion for some time, and initial steps have already been taken to ensure that the fans' dream is realized soon, transforming the club into an even more consolidated powerhouse on the national scene.
The former player was full of praise for Mais Querido : " Take this Flamengo team today. Today. They won't lose to the national team, and if you're not careful, they're better than Jorge Jesus's on paper ." Muller also highlighted coach Filipe Luís's wide range of options, noting that players like Everton Cebolinha are rarely used, despite their goalscoring record for the national team.

Despite experiencing a good collective phase with leadership in the Brasileirão and a place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores, Mais Querido appears as the most cited club in the survey

According to a survey released by the Transfermarkt platform, Flamengo boasts four of the ten players who have lost the most market value in Brazil. The analysis takes into account each player's individual performance throughout the season and identifies the Rio de Janeiro club as the leader in the rankings.
Among the names mentioned are midfielder Nicolás De la Cruz and striker Pedro, who appear at the top of the list . Both have faced periods of instability and physical problems, determining factors in the drop in projected values.
Signed with high expectations, De la Cruz suffered from injuries and was unable to continue his strong start to his career at the club . His lack of rhythm directly impacted his market value, resulting in a drop of approximately €6 million compared to his previous value.
One of the most consistent scorers in Brazilian football in recent years, Pedro lost his place at the beginning of the season due to injuries and was even dropped from the squad following internal problems. Despite regaining prominence recently, his market value has dropped by around €2 million.
Left-back Viña also makes the rankings. Having only recovered from injury in the second half of the year, he competes for position with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, a factor that has contributed to his lack of performance. Michael , who also struggled with physical problems, became one of coach Filipe Luís's last attacking options, which explains his drop in rating.
