Penalty kicks and the details, both technical and mental, that surround them gained space in Tite's training at Flamengo. The focus is not restricted to the penalty takers, but also to the goalkeepers and the positioning of the other players on the rebound.
With the Carioca knockout stage approaching, Tite's technical committee decided to improve some details in the team's training sessions. penalty shootout. The recent history of penalties during games draws attention: Pedro and Gabigol missed penalties in this Carioca.
But the two attackers remain official penalty takers, depending on who is on the field at the time. In training, there was an adjustment in the positioning of players around the area, the so-called rebounders.
Flamengo started to have two players, one on each side of the area. Against Vasco and Volta Redonda, Bruno Henrique ended up staying there, but it was by intuition and not by guidance. Against Boavista, Everton Cebolinha and Luiz Araújo — then, after the orientation — positioned themselves more actively waiting for the rebound. The same goes for the people at the edge of the area.
With goalkeepers, the headache is relatively less, especially given the history of penalty taking that Rossi brought from Argentina.
Recent performance
While Gabigol missed a penalty against Vasco, Pedro wasted a penalty against Boavista. A common factor in the missed shots was the poor hitting of the two attackers. And then, there's no point in positioning yourself for the rebound. In the case of number 9, who has been a starter, he even lost another one, against Volta Redonda, but the referee ordered him to return. When the hit was repeated, he hit the net.
Is there another penalty out there?

Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.
Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.
According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.
Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.
Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.
The red-black board continues negotiations for Valentín Castellanos, but the Lazio striker was sent off in a friendly after a brawl.

Even after a successful transfer window, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market to further strengthen its squad . The main target at this time is Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos , a player who has expressed interest in joining Flamengo but faces resistance from Lazio, who are not making his exit easy.
Last Saturday (16), Lazio played a friendly against Atromitos, from Greece, winning 2-0. However, the match was marked by a general confusion that resulted in the expulsion of Castellanos . The Mengão striker disagreed with defender Mansur , exchanged aggressions and ended up receiving a red card.
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the fight didn't end on the field. In the locker room, the situation escalated, and the police had to intervene to calm things down . Italian press sources indicate that Castellanos is experiencing emotional instability, driven by frustration at not being released by Lazio to play in Brazilian football.
In the market, the Rubro-Negro are looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were only monitored by the Rio team.
