The UOl columnist/journalist and red-black fanatic Renato Mauricio Prado, praised on the Fim de Papo program the changes made by Tite in the Flamengo team, which thrashed Bolívar at Maracanã and placed second in its group in the Libertadores. RMP said he is rooting for Fluminense to advance first to see Fla x Flu in the round of 16.'Now they are in the right place': "It's not a simple inversion, it's the inversion. Because De La Cruz playing for Everton Ribeiro and Gerson playing as a midfielder make it considerably worse, not now, now they are in the right place. De La Cruz is the second midfielder, he is the driving force of this Flamengo team, so he has it. to come from behind and not stay there in Arrascaeta's position, which was another thing Tite tried, it didn't work and he persisted. It was like that with Jorge Jesus and it was like that with Dorival': "The Flamengo team since 2019 has worked well in 4-4-2, putting pressure on the opponent's field and playing highly rotating football. It was like that with Jorge Jesus and it was like that with Dorival, Rogério Ceni was in the middle, but he was still more in favor of 4-4-2 than the famous positional game, also known as foosball or fingerball, which only Guardiola can do. make playing barbaric, but Guardiola is the exception that confirms the rule."'We are all rooting for Fla x Flu in the round of 16': "Flamengo practically guaranteed their place in the next stage as second place, thanks to Tite's inns, who saved in the debut, saved against Bolívar and the result is that Flamengo will qualify in second place, unless an extremely unlikely result happens, which is for Palestino to defeat Bolívar at the top of the mountain. I don't believe. But Flamengo will defeat Millonarios, who are no longer competing. So, with yesterday's victory, Flamengo practically guaranteed their place in the next phase, we are all here rooting for Diniz's Fluminense to qualify first and that the draw of the balls allows us a beautiful Fla x Flu in the round of 16" .

Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved, this Tuesday (19), the master sponsorship contract with Betano , one of the global leaders in sports betting. The link will begin on August 20, 2025 and will remain valid until December 31, 2028 , guaranteeing the club R$268 million per season. The agreement is considered the largest ever signed in national football.
The partnership includes brand exposure on the uniforms of the professional team and also on Olympic sports such as volleyball, basketball, and women's soccer. Additionally, the company will be featured on Flamengo TV content, expanding commercial integration and global visibility. The board emphasizes that the agreement is not limited to financial support, but opens doors to new business opportunities.

This amount places the Brazilian team in 10th place in the world rankings for largest sponsorship deals.

Striker Juninho traveled with the Flamengo squad to Porto Alegre, where the team faces Internacional this Wednesday (20) , for the decisive clash of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. However, the player's use is not yet confirmed . Out of the last match against Colorado for the Brazilian Championship, the center forward lost space in recent weeks and was not related in three consecutive games, including the first leg duel at Maracanã.
Internally, the club's board is evaluating the athlete's future, as he has received inquiries from Saudi Arabian football clubs, with loan proposals rejected by the club. Previously, Juninho was close to a move to Sevilla earlier this year.
Negotiations, however, were halted after coach Filipe Luís intervened, contacting the striker to convince him to join Mengão's project. The investment was substantial: R$37.2 million to acquire the number 23, who currently has no place on the team.
In 2025, Juninho played 22 matches for Flamengo , scoring just three goals and providing no assists. He played 726 minutes that season, almost always sporadically used by Filipe Luís. In the Carioca Championship, he appeared in eight matches and scored two goals.
He has already played six times in the Brasileirão, without finding the net. In the Libertadores, he played four games and scored one goal , while in the national cups and the Club World Cup, he failed to stand out.
Colorado will have important reinforcements such as Alan Patrick and Carbonero to face Flamengo in a decisive duel at Beira-Rio
