Flamengo is the team with the fewest cards throughout the 2023 Brasileirão season. During the 19 rounds that have already passed, the Mengão athletes have only accumulated 39 cards and of these, only one was red. Among the teams with more penalties and punishments are Coritbia, Atlético-MG and Fluminense. They add up respectively to 72, 70 and 65 cards.
The 2023 Brasileirão is already the yellow card championship. That's because in the first round, 1044 yellow cards were applied, just for players. These data show an increase of 9.3% compared to the 2022 season. In fact, the distribution of penalties has not gone beyond the thousand mark since 2013, at least for the first half of the competition.
However, Flamengo is not one of the teams that has contributed so much to these statistics. The Mais Querido is currently the team with the fewest cards in total. With 39 cards, Fla's number is almost 54% of the total that Coritiba, first in this table, has. The southern team has already managed to win 70 yellows this year and 2 reds. Not far behind are Atlético-MG (66 yellow and 4 red) and Fluminense (61 yellow and 4 red).
Already closer to Mengão are Corinthians, Palmeiras and Botafogo. The two teams from São Paulo were penalized with 43 yellow cards this season, but Palmeiras has a red card on the 'bench', while Corinthians is still 'clean' in this sense. Already Botafogo, leader of the championship, has 46 yellow and 1 red in the 'account'.
The only expulsion from Mengão was Luiz Araújo, for having made a strong approach to Marcelo. The case happened at Fla x Flu last month (July 16). The classic ended in a draw (0 to 0).

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
