In the defeat by 2 to 1 for the Corinthians, Ramon Abatti Abel's refereeing was once again the target of complaints from Flamengo's sides. The defender Fabrício Bruno left the field complaining about the judge’s decisions. Coach Ramón Díaz, from the São Paulo club, also stated that the referee interfered in the game in a way that was detrimental to both teams. Ramon Abatti's poor command of the game is nothing new in Mengo games. The survey is from 'Mundo Rubro-Negro'.


Penalty not scored on Pedro in the Copa do Brasil


In the 2024 Copa do Brasil, Ramon Abatti Abel did not score a penalty on Pedro , in the game between Flamengo x Amazonas. Mais Querido qualified, but protested a lot against the arbitration, sending a letter to the CBF so that the error would not go unnoticed despite the red and black victory.


“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that it will formalize with the CBF a complaint for the clear penalty suffered by striker Pedro, not marked by the refereeing, in the 21st minute of the first half”, said the Flamengo statement.

In the 20th minute of the first half, in a corner kick for Flamengo, Léo Ortiz managed to win a live ball and passed to Pedro. The attacker came face to face with goalkeeper Marcão, who prevented the play by using his knee to stop the number 9's progress.


However, the VAR audio shows that the judge and video referee understood that there was no penalty because the goalkeeper hit the ball first. However, if he had not done so, the Amazonas archer would have hit Pedro in the same way, but the referee ordered the game to continue.

Penalty not scored in Everton Ribeiro against Palmeiras

No Brasileirão 2023, Ramon Abatti Abel had already failed to score a penalty for Mais Querido. Richard Rios made a charge on Everton Ribeiro's back, but the move was ignored by the referee. At that moment, the game was 1-0 for alviverde, but with a lot of playing time, Flamengo would still have time to try to turn things around. The charge was very clear, however, nothing was marked.

Ramon Abatti Abel had already harmed Flamengo against Corinthians

Against Corinthians, Ramon Abatti Abel had already been the protagonist of yet another questionable departure on your part. In Brasileirão 2022, the referee ignored an expulsion for the Corinthians side, and did not even show a yellow card after a very harsh tackle by Du Queiroz on Rodrigo Caio. The defender had to leave the field and was out for months due to injury. Even though Flamengo was absent for the game, Du Queiroz continued without problems within the four lines.

Judge also harmed the club against Internacional

Another error by Ramon Abatti Abel against Flamengo happened in the first round of the Brasileirão 2023, against Internacional. Mengão lost 2-1, but the second goal featured a simulation by the opposing player in the play. Despite the staging, which should have stopped the match, the play went well and Maurício scored his second goal of the game.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.


Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.


NEGOTIATION FROM JANUARY


With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.

ALLAN DIDN'T PERFORM AS EXPECTED AT FLAMENGO


At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.

REFORMULATION IN SIGHT

Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .


Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"


"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.


CARPINI JUSTIFIES CHOICES

The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.


"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.

SITUATION IN THE TABLE

With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
