Monday (14) marked another appearance by Rodrigo Muniz on the pitch in the Premier League. The striker, who was discovered by Flamengo, started for Fulham in the match valid for the 32nd round of the English championship, but was unable to prevent his team's defeat against Bournemouth, away from home. The match was seen as crucial for the teams' ambitions in the table.
FLASH GOAL OPENS WAY TO DEFEAT
In the first minute of the game, winger Antoine Semenyo surprised Fulham's defense and opened the scoring for the home team. The early goal affected the rhythm of the London team, who had to chase the result from the beginning, in a game that required patience and concentration. Despite the disadvantage on the scoreboard, Fulham remained more present in the attacking field throughout the match. With greater possession of the ball and a higher number of shots, the London team came up against Bournemouth's good defensive performance, who managed to manage the score until the final whistle, without conceding a goal.
TIGHT DISPUTE IN THE TABLE AFTER THE RESULT
The defeat cost Fulham dearly. With the result, Bournemouth reached the same 48 points as their opponents, but moved up to eighth place thanks to their superior goal difference. The scenario highlights the intense fight for places in the middle of the Premier League , with both clubs still dreaming of higher positions.
Rodrigo Muniz remained on the field for 57 minutes before being replaced by Raúl Jiménez . Despite not scoring, he had a prominent performance and was rated 7.2 by Sofascore, a platform specializing in football statistics. During his participation, Muniz attempted two shots — one on goal and one off target. In terms of playmaking, he attempted five passes and completed three, with a 60% success rate. The forward also had 13 actions with the ball throughout the match.
In addition to his offensive actions, Muniz showed willingness to mark. He made two tackles, won two duels on the ground and four in the air. His success rate in disputes was 100%, reinforcing his tactical role in the team even in a more advanced position. Despite the good overall score, the Brazilian striker lost possession on two occasions. These small mistakes, common in the fast pace of the Premier League, do not diminish his good performance, but point to points that need to be adjusted in the next games.

After Flamengo's victory over São Paulo this Saturday (12), coach Filipe Luís spoke out about Pedro's actions in the club's daily life. The Mais Querido coach highlighted that the number 9 had unacceptable behavior. Therefore, the athlete's representatives will seek proposals for the player to leave Rubro-Negro.
" We're going to make an offer to Flamengo and try to find a way out ," a representative for Pedro told journalist Venê Casagrande. The response came after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who explained the reason for the player's departure.
FILIPE LUÍS DETONATES PEDRO'S ATTITUDES
Pedro was not included by Filipe Luís for the match against São Paulo this Saturday (12). Thus, the coach explained, in a press conference, that the player had unacceptable behavior. In addition, the coach stated that the number 9 should apologize and that he has been training below expectations.
"Pedro's behavior and attitude during the week was deplorable, bordering on ridiculous. Pedro has his personal issues with the club's board, but he's been training poorly for a while now. This week, however, he broke a clear principle we have as a coaching staff and players: training culture ," the coach emphasized before adding:
"For me, what he did was disrespectful, his behavior in training. I didn't hesitate for a moment to leave him out of this game, as this behavior can be contagious. I hope he recovers, apologizes to his teammates and goes back to being Pedro. It's not just a lack of respect for his teammates, it's also for himself, " said Filipe Luís .
PEDRO IN THE SEASON
Pedro returned from a serious injury a few months ago. Since then, the center forward has appeared in 17 matches for Flamengo. He has scored five goals and provided three assists for his teammates.

Roma is watching Wesley, who is still being watched by other clubs and may be leaving Flamengo. The number 43 confirmed during halftime of the match against São Paulo that there is a chance he will leave the club soon.
Wesley talks about a possible departure from Flamengo: "This is a matter for Flamengo's board and my agents ."
WESLEY'S CURRENT SITUATION
Wesley's contract with Flamengo runs until December 2028. Flamengo is demanding €30 million (R$195 million) to sell the young full-back. The player has also made clear his desire to play for a European club.
Therefore, Wesley is one of Roma's (ITA) priorities. This is because the Italian team hired coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was at Atalanta (ITA). The coach had even considered signing the full-back while he was still at the previous team, but negotiations failed.
ABOUT THAT...
Thus, while Wesley does not receive an official offer, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.

The player received local anesthesia in the locker room, where Flamengo doctor, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, cleaned and initially examined the wound. After confirming the bone exposure, a dressing was applied and the player was then sent for an x-ray, which ruled out a fracture in the region. Ayrton was taken to Barra D'Or Hospital, where he will undergo surgery. The player will remain hospitalized for at least 48 hours for antibiotics and infection prevention .
ALEX SANDRO
"The player felt pain in the posterior muscle of his left thigh in the first half of Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo. He will undergo an MRI scan on Sunday (13) ," Flamengo said in a statement issued to the press.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
Thus, with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas being doubtful, it is likely that Filipe Luís will once again field Varela at left-back for Flamengo . Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
