The Brazilian team suffered a severe blow this week. Striker Pedro, from Flamengo, was diagnosed with a rupture in the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, during preparatory training for the match against Ecuador, in Curitiba. The serious injury took the player out of action for the remainder of the 2024 season, impacting both Flamengo and the national team.




DORIVAL JÚNIOR REGRETS THE INJURY< /b>


In an interview with Sportv this Thursday (05), Dorival Júnior, coach of the Brazilian team, expressed his sadness with Pedro's situation. The coach highlighted the moment the injury occurred, during an isolated play, where the attacker caught his foot on the pitch. According to Dorival, it was possible to understand the severity of the injury by the athlete's scream of pain.

“I deeply regret everything that happened. We reviewed the images several times and, on the first play of training, Pedro injured himself. He was absolutely in the game, his foot locked and made a movement like a ‘whip’. I was close and realized the severity of the scream”, reported the coach.



PLAYER'S EFFORT RECOGNIZED

Dorival Júnior also highlighted Pedro's effort to be present at the call, considering the joint work carried out between the medical department of Flamengoand the Brazilian national team. The coach also mentioned that, in the past, the striker had already missed a call-up due to an injury, and that the national team door will remain open for him in the future.

“It's a sad scene that repeats itself. Some time ago, Pedro had already been called up and an injury prevented him from participating. I have a lot of affection for him, and there will be no shortage of opportunities in the national team because of the person he is”, added Dorival Júnior in an interview with ge.


FLAMENGO ALSO AFFECTED

With Pedro's absence, Flamengo sees another of its players withdraw due to injury, joining other athletes in the club's medical department. The top scorer, who had been a key player this season, will have a long road of recovery ahead of him.

The Deliberative Council of Flamengo voted and approved, this Tuesday, Shopee's new sponsorship. The Singaporean brand will print the sleeves of the shirts of the men's and women's football teams, as well as the basketball team. The sponsorship will yield R$ 12 million fixed to Flamengo. Payment will be made in three installments of R$4 million (February, April and July). There is still a variable value. That's 5% of sales in the Shopee affiliate program.


Thebrand will be on the sleeves of the game, training and warm-up shirt of the men's and women's football teams. In basketball, it is in front of the game, training and warm-up shorts. In terms of comparison, Kwai paid R$10 million for the same space in the 2024 season. The contract with Shopee will be until December 31, 2025.


On the back, Flamengo will not immediately fill the gap left by Mercado Livre. A test will be carried out with the FlaBet exhibition for a period of three months. The idea is to leverage the number of bets and earn more royalties, as you receive 1% of the gross value of bets.


Flamengo reaches four approved sponsorships in 2025

In addition to shopee, Rubro-Negro approved three sponsorships before. The brands involved are Texaco, ABC da Construção and In Drive. In total, Flamengo should receive more than R$20 million. Check the details of each brand:


Texaco: number of the men's first team shirts and a small shield on the training and warm-up shirts of the main team and the under-20 team. Two-year contract, R$4.2 million in the first and R$4.8 in the second, totaling R$9 million.

ABC of Construction: back part of both legs in the shorts of professional teams (men's and women's), men's under-20s and men's professional basketball. One-year contract, with R$5.5 million in cash and R$2 million in exchange (it is worth remembering that the club is building a mini-stadium in Ninho do Urubu), totaling R$7.5 million.

In Drive: microphone at press conferences for the men's team and on the back of the shirt for the women's team. One-year contract for around R$7 million.

O Flamengo decided that the attacker Carlinhos will not be part of the plans of the squad led by Filipe Luís. After internal evaluation, the player was released to seek new opportunities in the transfer market. The athlete was offered to clubs in Europe, such as Estoril and Rio Ave, both from Portugal, but negotiations did not progress.

CHALLENGES IN THE MARKET FOR THE PLAYER

The refusal of Portuguese clubs highlights the difficulties that some players face in finding new opportunities on the international market. In addition to technical quality, aspects such as age, injury history and tactical profile are taken into account by scouts. In the case of Carlinhos, Flamengocontinues to explore possibilities that are advantageous to both parties, respecting the planning outlined by the technical committee and the board.


With just a few weeks until the transfer window closes, Mengão intensifies efforts to provide closure to the attacker's situation. The club hopes to resolve the case quickly, allowing Carlinhos to be able to play regularly for another team. The case reflects the challenges faced by big clubs like Flamengo when managing extensive and competitive squads, where opportunities for some players end up being limited.
