Pedro's situation at Flamengo has been in the spotlight again in recent days. The number 9 has been sidelined since the match against São Paulo due to a combination of factors: subpar training performance, behavioral issues, and unresolved internal issues.


PROBLEMS SOLVED BY THE COACH


According to coach Filipe Luís, the center forward wasn't as physically fit as the other players and showed little commitment to his activities. The incident triggered a series of developments that put the player's future at the Rio de Janeiro club in doubt.


FILIPE LUÍS WAS VERY INCISIVE

During the press conference following the loss to São Paulo, Filipe Luís was blunt when commenting on Pedro's performance at Flamengo. He said the player had the worst physical performance of any athlete during preparation and described his behavior in training as "regrettable" and "disrespectful."


The firm tone surprised some of the press and fans, as a coach rarely publicly exposes an athlete in such a way. The statement generated significant backlash on social media and behind the scenes at the club.

Two days later, the striker spoke out. In a statement posted on social media, Pedro acknowledged his drop in performance but said he felt disrespected by the way the club and the coach handled the situation.

With Bruno Henrique absent due to suspension, coach Filipe Luís will be forced to make changes to Flamengo's attacking sector for the classic against Fluminense, scheduled for this Sunday (20), at 7:30 pm, at Maracanã . The dispute for the spot is between the young Wallace Yan and the experienced Everton Cebolinha, and the balance seems to be tipping towards the red-black promise.


Despite only playing 51 minutes in the Brazilian Championship, Wallace has excelled when called upon, scoring important goals and capturing the fans' attention. According to the ge website, the striker has already surpassed Juninho in the internal pecking order and is currently seen as the main candidate to replace Bruno Henrique in the starting lineup.


WALLACE'S PERFORMANCE


Wallace Yan, alongside Bruno Henrique , is the squad's third-highest scorer this season, with seven goals. This is a significant number, especially considering the striker's limited playing time. His effectiveness has been a differentiator, especially compared to the team's more experienced players.

Everton Cebolinha, on the other hand, has played 534 minutes in the Brasileirão, more than ten times as much as Wallace. However, the number 11 has directly contributed to only two goals in the competition and is facing a seven-match drought without contributing assists or goals. The player's inconsistent form has sparked dissatisfaction among fans, increasing the pressure on the coach when choosing the lineup.


FINAL CHOICE WILL BE DEFINED

Filipe Luís is likely to keep Plata as a false 9 , and if he opts for Everton Cebolinha, the number 11 will be moved to the left side of the attack. However, recent factors favor the selection of Wallace Yan, who has been responding to the opportunities he receives and outperforming his direct competitor.

Olaria, one of the most traditional clubs in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, is close to a new chapter in its history. The club, which is facing serious financial difficulties, has scheduled a meeting with its members for next Monday (15) to decide on its transformation into a Football Corporation (SAF) and the sale of 95% of its football rights to a business consortium.


The group interested in the acquisition includes rapper L7nnon, former Flamengo vice-president Marcos Braz, and the sports marketing firm Ric's, which already manages the club's football operations. The companies involved are DLA Investments, representing L7nnon , DTS Serviços Integrados de Telecomunicações, linked to Marcos Braz , and Ric's Sports.


SUBURBIAN CLUB EXPERIENCES FINANCIAL CRISIS


Olaria is experiencing financial instability, marked by labor debts and liens, which have jeopardized its sports operations. According to president André Luiz, known as "Batata," the current situation makes it impossible to maintain traditional football: "The current situation was unfeasible for football, and they wanted it. We're fighting to keep it going. There are a lot of liens and labor lawsuits," Batata told ge.

With the potential sale, the club estimates it will raise R$25 million for the transfer of 95% of its football rights. Part of the proceeds will be allocated to regularizing the club's tax situation, with the promise of obtaining a clearance certificate by the end of August.


INVESTORS PLAN IMMEDIATE INVESTMENTS

According to the notice calling the meeting, the new members intend to make immediate contributions to pay off liabilities and restructure the football department. The proposal is to transform Olaria into an efficient and competitive SAF, with professional management and medium- and long-term planning.
