|
The commentator and narrator Silvio Luiz, aged 89. He had been admitted to Hospital Oswaldo Cruz, in São Paulo, since May 8, and died as a result of multiple organ failure. The information was confirmed by the hospital.
Silvio Luiz had been facing a series of unspecified health problems. On April 7, the veteran suffered a sudden illness during the narration of Palmeiras x Santos, in the final of the Campeonato Paulista, and had to be absent from the match, being hospitalized for 23 days. Nine days after his medical discharge, the journalist was hospitalized again for the last time before his death.
Owning an acid sense of humor, Silvio Luiz was the creator of catchphrases such as “for the love of my little children”, “eye on the move”, “check with me on the replay” and more. He leaves behind his wife, singer Márcia, with whom he had been married since 1969, and three children.
Son of Elizabeth Darcy, one of the first women in the voiceover, Silvio Luiz acted in the soap operas “Éramos Seis” and “Cela da Morte”, on TV Record, in the 1950s and 1960s — at the time, he was also working in sports journalism and had even won the Roquete award Best sports reporter.
In 1965, he graduated as a football referee and continued in the profession until the 1970s, when he returned to Record to become programming director and sports announcer. Over the decades, he has collected journalism awards and been part of several television and radio stations. The list includes TV Paulista, Rádio Bandeirantes, Rádio Record, TV Excelsior, SBT, RedeTV! and Band.
At the end of his career, the veteran worked as a sports commentator on the program “Confira Comigo no Replay”, on “R7 Esportes”.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
