The striker of Flamengo, Pedro, would be a starter for the Brazilian team if he hadn't injured his knee last Wednesday (4). Coach Dorival Júnior thought about the selection with Pedro as a starter to face Ecuador and Paraguay, in the Qualifiers.
Before the first tactical training, however, Pedro tore the ligaments in his left knee. The sprain occurred right at the beginning of the activity. Dorival understood that the team had difficulty completing plays during the Copa América and it was time for a "root center forward".
Pedro has greater ability to retain the ball and head the ball compared to Endrick, who must be a reserve. The solution will be to cast Rodrygo as "false 9" again. The technical committee believed that the Flamengo player would be an antidote against the struggles of Ecuador and Paraguay. The expectation is to face two teams that score more than they attack. Beccacece's Ecuador is seen as more aggressive than Alfaro's Paraguay, the coach who held Brazil against Costa Rica in the Copa América.
"I had very positive expectations about Pedro, but now it's time to look more human side, him as a person, a special guy, and deeply regret it. It's time to look for solutions in our group in search of a balance, of two or three results that make things go a little more smoothly", said Dorival Júnior.
Without Pedro, Dorival will once again look for mechanisms of speed and movement in the attack, without a great reference. Rodrygo, Vini, Luiz Henrique and Lucas Paquetá form the attacking quartet.
João Pedro was called up in place of Endrick. The Brighton striker has similar characteristics to the Real Madrid player, while Pedro is seen as "unique" for the way he plays.

The duo could have a headache with the arrival of Michael Jhonston at Flamengo
The Irishman arrives to compete for a position with attacking players, who are experiencing low performance and are considered negotiable

Flamengo is close to officially signing 26-year-old striker Mikey Johnston from West Bromwich Albion in England. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio de Janeiro club will pay around R$35 million for the transfer, and the contract will be for four years . The player is expected to travel to Brazil after final adjustments to the bureaucratic procedures.
Johnston prefers to play on the left wing, a position currently occupied by Everton Cebolinha and Michael. With his performance below that of both players, the Irishman arrives to fight for space and increase competitiveness in the sector. The signing also reflects the diagnosis of the football department, which sees the need for offensive renewal.
CEBOLINHA AND MICHAEL MAY LEAVE FLAMENGO
Mikey Johnston's arrival should not be an isolated incident. Internally, the club's board of directors understands that it is time to renew players in attack, especially on the wings. Michael and Everton Cebolinha have not been able to establish themselves this season , and the club is already working on the possibility of negotiating them soon.
MOMENT OF LOW OF THE MOST LOVED ONE
After a remarkable stint between 2020 and 2021, Michael returned to Flamengo surrounded by expectations. However, his second stint has been discreet and marked by irregular performances. According to ge, the player himself expressed the desire to leave in 2025, but was convinced to stay for a while longer. The atmosphere, however, is not the best.
Tactically, Michael does not fit into Flamengo's current playing style. His style based on dribbling and individual plays, which sometimes worked in the past, has now proven to be ineffective. His lack of tactical discipline has weighed against him remaining on the field in decisive games. Everton Cebolinha's situation is also not the most comfortable.

Flamengo will make a millionaire profit from the sale of Vinicius Souza to Wolfsburg
Vinição, a Mengo product, stands out after being announced as a reinforcement for the German team; the Rio de Janeiro club will make a huge profit from the deal

Midfielder Vinícius Souza was transferred from Sheffield United to Wolfsburg for 15 million euros (approximately R$95.8 million) . FIFA rules reserve up to 5% of the transfer fee paid by clubs to reward all clubs that contributed to the development of the athlete between the ages of 12 and 23. In Vinícius' case, Flamengo accumulated 3.05% because he left the club at the age of 21.
This transfer reinforces the sustainable business model of the red-black base, which obtained financial returns even without the sale of the athlete in loco. To give you an idea, a similar mechanism yielded the club around R$11 million in the sale of Lucas Paquetá, for example. The amount of R$3 million will be deposited directly into the club's coffers.
HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO RECEIVE?
Transfer: 15 million euros (~R$ 95.8 million)
Solidarity percentage: 3.05%
Estimated total for Flamengo: R$3 million
FIFA VALUE
This amount is not exceptional for an individual transfer, but it shows how small amounts can generate consistent resources for the club. When added to other negotiations – especially of athletes revealed at Ninho –, these revenues reinforce the financial viability of the red-black base without depending on immediate sales.
