Flamengo's game last Sunday (5) was controversial even in the days leading up to it. One of Flamengo's oldest embassies, the FlaBahia Embassy founded in 2008, even during the week before the game released a statement criticizing Flamengo's management. The reason was simple, Flamengo had not purchased the Bahia x Flamengo tickets to distribute through the embassy (as was the practice) and simply let the tickets be sold at the Arena Fonte Nova door.


This attitude bothered the FlaBahia embassy, ​​which In this way, he saw a good part of his associates not being able to see Flamengo play live, something that the embassy directors saw as disrespect towards one of Flamengo's most important embassies.


In this way, on Saturday (20), the FlaBahia Embassy used its social networks to announce the temporary dissolution of the project 'Embassies and Consulates of the Nation”.


Read the statement in full:

“Red greetings -negras!


Today, a few days after the episodes that marked the arrival of our beloved Flamengo to Salvador for the game against Bahia, we demonstrated to inform our temporary removal from the Flamengo Embassies and Consulates Project .

We made this decision calmly, without the emotion of the moment when the Club, through its Marketing Vice-Presidency, denied the possibility for fans from various Embassies and Consulates to purchase tickets directly from the Arena Fonte Nova, a practice that has existed since 2008 and has never caused damage to any of the institutions involved, due to the smoothness with which Flamengo's decision was always made to hold the load of visitors until the last moment (the night before official sales) and only release for direct sale by Arena Fonte Nova (in practice handing it over to the scalpers who threw the party) caused financial and emotional losses to thousands of passionate red and black people.

Many fell for scams, others had to give up their money. amounts paid to bus companies, hotels, etc... All caused by the insensitivity of an ELITIST Board that only has eyes for the members of the Social Club. And for these selfless passionate red and black people, we want to express our most immense SOLIDARITY.

It is very easy to use the Off-Rio mass to appear in the social campaigns that they carry out throughout the year, or to say that it is champion of engagement on social media, or even to negotiate their sponsorship contracts, but the truth is that this board has always turned its back on all of us at the 'National Meeting of Embassies' (a party held annually by Flamengo and which had as its pillar the meeting held by Flabahia), which took place in November last year, created a small fence, like a corral, and even placed security guards in SEVERAL POINTS of the club to prevent fans from having access to areas other than where the stage was and where the stage would take place. the event.

This and we have many points that diverge from the current moment of the Embassies and Consulates Project, but the main one is the understanding that it does not have any institutional support, therefore, we prefer to temporarily move away from it and CONTINUE OUR WORK AS WE ALWAYS HAVE, with broadcasts of matches, events and social actions, without needing ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING from the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.

NOTHING FROM FLAMENGO, EVERYTHING FOR FLAMENGO!

FLABAHIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS.”

Talks between Flamengo and West Ham have gained momentum in recent days, and progress in negotiations is based on three pillars: the player's desire to return to Brazilian football, the English club's interest in athletes from the red-black youth team and the upcoming transfer window, with the Club World Cup on the radar.




Internally, Flamengo sees the operation as viable and strategic. Even with Paquetá's trial underway for alleged involvement in sports betting, the club is working with the expectation of the athlete's acquittal and is maintaining ongoing negotiations with legal support. West Ham, in turn, has not ruled out releasing Paquetá.


NEW IN THE CASE

The news is that the English club are willing to accept a trade involving a Flamengo player, preferably a young one with a market in Europe. The names have not been revealed, but the red-and-black squad has several highly valued prospects. Among the names being monitored by the English club are players who have recently sparked interest in the European market, such as Lorran, Victor Hugo, Matheus Gonçalves and Werton.



PAQUETÁ MAY BE INDICTED

Paquetá has a contract with West Ham until June 2027, but has already signaled to the English club his desire to return to Brazil. To this end, the midfielder agreed to reduce his salary from the current R$4.3 million per month to around R$2 million — a gesture that was seen internally as proof of commitment to the red-and-black project.


Flamengo 's focus is to strengthen its squad for the Club World Cup, scheduled to take place at the end of 2025. The club understands that the competition requires high-level players and sees Paquetá as a name capable of elevating the team's level in the finals. In addition to Paquetá, another name that is circulating behind the scenes at Gávea is João Félix, currently on loan from Atlético de Madrid to Barcelona. The Portuguese player is also interested in strengthening the offensive sector, but the situation is more complex. The priority at the moment is to make possible the return of the number 11 who came through the youth ranks.

Flamengo could profit from the sale of a youth player after the Super World Cup, says journalist

At 18 years old, Matheus Gonçalves has yet to establish a regular season in Flamengo's professional team. With tough competition in the offensive sector and priority given to more experienced players, the attacking midfielder will only play a few minutes on the field in 2025. Internally, the dissatisfaction of the player's staff is evident. The reading is clear: the athlete needs to play to evolve, and the current scenario does not favor this progression.




In light of this, the agents have already started mapping out clubs for possible negotiations. The initial idea is not to make a definitive sale. The focus is on finding a team where Matheus can play regularly, even if on loan. The priority, at this time, is the player's technical development.



THE MOST LOVED MIDFIELDER CAN BE RELOCATED


Flamengo 's sports management, led by José Boto, has adopted a stricter policy when it comes to releasing young talent. The Portuguese has stated on other occasions that he values training and care in building the careers of youth players. However, Matheus Gonçalves' case is a bit different from this. The midfielder has demonstrated his quality on previous occasions, both in the main team and in the youth categories, and he does not see any progress in his current role as a distant reserve.


THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PROPOSAL

So far, there is no official proposal on the table, but the player's agents are working to change that. Clubs from Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship are being approached, and the situation should improve in the coming weeks. Flamengo 's season is long, and the squad is large. This, in itself, makes it difficult for young players who are unable to gain rhythm to advance. With Filipe Luis prioritizing more established athletes, the window of opportunity is closing even further for Matheus.


In 2024, the youngster had already been loaned to Red Bull Bragantino, where he had some good moments. His return to Flamengo was surrounded by expectations, but the current scenario is the same as before: few opportunities and an uncertain future. People close to the player indicate that the situation has been monitored for weeks. The athlete's desire is to remain at the club, but only if there is room to play. Otherwise, the understanding is that the best alternative is to seek new challenges.

The result between Central Córdoba and Flamengo , in the group stage of the South American Cup, not only affected the table, but also the emotions of the Argentine fans. The draw at home, added to the victory at Maracanã, was celebrated almost like a title in the city of Santiago del Estero.




The 1-1 score felt like a victory for Central. In the local view, facing Flamengo , even with a mixed team, still carries weight. To the point that the triumph at Maracanã has become a mural at the Argentine training center. The recent draw only reinforces this pride. We spoke with journalist Gustavo Paz, from the traditional newspaper El Liberal, who closely followed the mood in the city. According to him, the game was treated as a rare event, with the stands practically full an hour before kick-off.



EVERYTHING VERY INTENSE FOR THE ARGENTINES


“The stadium was 90% full well before the whistle blew . The fans sang from start to finish, supporting the team at all times. It was a festive atmosphere, full of pride. I have rarely seen anything like it in Santiago del Estero,” said Gustavo . For security reasons, a part of the stadium was cordoned off to protect Flamengo fans, but that didn’t stop the other areas from being completely full. For the locals, the presence of the Rubro-Negro was a spectacle in itself.


CENTRAL CÓRDOBA THROWS BUCKET OF COLD WATER

“Even with the reserved section, Central Córdoba fans sold out all available tickets. And it wasn’t just their presence, it was their support, excitement, and respect for the team. They applauded even in the difficult moments and recognized the effort at the end of the match,” added the journalist. The draw was, in fact, built with dedication. The Argentine team, at various moments of the game, managed to control the pace and prevailed against a more technically qualified opponent. This interpretation, in fact, is made clear by the local press.


“The general feeling is that Central Córdoba was better for much of the game. Flamengo, of course, had its chances and pressed. But Córdoba managed to play more in its own way, imposed its rhythm and had the maturity to seek an equalizer at the right moment,” said Gustavo. With the result, Central reached four points against Flamengo in the group stage — a performance that, even without guaranteeing an early spot, reinforces the team's confidence for the final games away from home, against LDU and Palestino.
