The relationship between Flamengo and @pixbet has lasted since 2022, and during this period the partnership has proven to be extremely fruitful for both parts. @pixbet not only maintained, but also significantly increased the value offered to keep its brand stamped on the red and black uniforms. Now, this contract renewal is about to be consolidated, with the company agreeing to pay approximately R$90 million for two more seasons, covering the years 2024 and 2025.

Former Flamengo player criticizes Filipe Luís and questions technologies in modern football
The Mais Querido coach was harshly criticized by the former player, who highlighted that despite the numbers below, the number 9 should be selected

The Pedro and Filipe Luís case continues to generate controversy . Former Flamengo player Alecsandro appeared on the Panela SporTV program and expressed a strong opinion on the recent controversy involving the number 9 and the coach of the "Mais Querido" (Flamengo). The former athlete defended the striker and condemned the extensive use of technologies, such as GPS, to assess performance.
Alecsandro recalled his experience in the final stages of his career, when physical data often indicated he was the lowest on the team in sprints, speed, and movement. However, he emphasized that his role on the field as a center forward was much more specific and could not be evaluated in the same way as other players.
Alecsandro criticizes Filipe Luís: "I had a coach who didn't talk to the athlete and put the guy to play."
He continued: "Because the guy was performing well and had to play. On the other hand, when Filipe talks about the last in the physical part, the last in I don't know what... brother, Pedro is there to score goals. At the end of my career, I got this modern football with GPS. And I was always the last."
NUMBERS EVALUATIONS DO NOT CONSIDERS THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUNCTIONS OF PLAYERS
According to Alecsandro, the statistics used in soccer and training don't consider the true responsibilities and roles of each player on the field: "But I'd tell the guys: 'I'm going to score the goal and it'll end 2-1, 1-0, with a goal by me.' But I couldn't run faster than Marcos Rocha or Dudu. I was the last in my physical abilities," he said before adding:
But within the limits of my speed, I was good. So, from my perspective, he exaggerated a lot of what Filipe demanded. Pedro is a player who works in a specific area of the field, running 9 or 10 km, while a defensive midfielder runs 20 ," the former Flamengo player noted.
PEDRO STILL IS OUT OF THE RELATED LIST
Thus, despite Alecsandro's criticism, coach Filipe Luís kept Pedro out of the list of players involved in the match against Santos, this Wednesday (16). Flamengo faces the São Paulo team at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm, for the 14th round of the Brasileirão.
