Michael's performance in the match between Flamengo and Internacional, held this weekend, caused dissatisfaction among part of the red-black fans. The striker had a discreet performance and failed to play the expected football, which led to a large volume of criticism on social media.
On digital platforms, fans expressed frustration with the player's stance. Comments pointed to a lack of objectivity and questionable decision-making during the match. The expectation was that he would have greater offensive participation and contribute with incisive plays , but this did not happen.
DECISION MAKING AND PERFORMANCE ON THE FIELD ARE TARGETS OF CRITICISM
During the match, Michael was seen hesitating on some plays, which irritated fans who expected a more aggressive performance. His style of play, based on dribbling and movement, did not work as expected against Internacional's defense, and many pointed to the lack of effectiveness as one of the problems. On social media, the dissatisfaction of Flamengo fans was evident. "Michael needs to be more decisive, he can't make so many mistakes with the final pass," said one fan. Another pointed out that the forward "seems to be disconnected from the rest of the team."
FANS' EXPECTATIONS WITH THE STRIKER
Michael's arrival at the club was surrounded by expectations, and the fans always expected him to become a key player in the attack. However, his performance fluctuates and raises questions among fans. Despite his technical quality, he is expected to make better decisions at key moments in the game.
At other times, Michael had good sequences and demonstrated the ability to be decisive , but his inconsistent performances ended up creating a division among fans about whether he would remain as a starter for the team. The negative repercussions on social media increased the pressure on Michael. Commentators also analyzed his performance and highlighted the need to improve his reading of the game and objectivity on the field.

Midfielder Erick Pulgar took an important step towards returning to play for Flamengo . Tests carried out this Friday (12) showed the consolidation of the fracture in the fifth metatarsal of the right foot , allowing the player to be released to begin activities on the pitch.
With medical clearance, Pulgar now begins the transition to field work . The Chilean will continue physical therapy to resume running, progress to ball-handling activities, and then enter the physical conditioning phase, the final phase before returning to official matches.
The midfielder hasn't played since the Club World Cup in June. After surgery on July 3, Pulgar spent some time in Chile and then returned to Ninho do Urubu to continue his treatment. Until then, he had been working out in the training center's indoor area.
The injury occurred during the Club World Cup Round of 16 match against Bayern Munich. The midfielder had already suffered the same type of fracture in his first months at the club, when it took him about 60 days to return to the squad.
Although coach Filipe Luís stated that he was counting on the Chilean for the Libertadores quarterfinals, it is unlikely that he will be on the field for the matches against Estudiantes , scheduled for September 18 and 25. Pulgar is expected to be available later in the season, reinforcing Flamengo's role in the ongoing competitions.
