The Brazilian Championship will undergo major changes starting with this new edition. In addition, the broadcasts of matches on TV Globo, both on open and closed networks, via SporTV, will also have major changes.


The first new feature is a new pre-match program, which will start 30 minutes before the matches. In it, Globo will provide information about the match and some interactions with the two fans involved.


In addition, the scoreboard, which has not yet been revealed, will also be different. The idea is to customize it with the team colors and show more information, such as the number of cards and substitutions, among other features.


In match analysis, the augmented reality tactical table will also return. Initially, only on 'SporTV', which will use it in broadcasts and in a new program: "Closing sportv".

AERIAL CAMERA AND FANS AS PROTAGONISTS


The broadcaster will also have an aerial camera, attached to a cable, that will pass over the pitch while capturing images of the match. Finally, on Globo, players and fans of the clubs will be the protagonists .

After the Club World Cup, Flamengo sold Gerson to Zenit St. Petersburg for €25 million. The deal was mired in controversy: the Rio de Janeiro board was angered by the player's and his agent's behavior during the negotiations. As a result, the midfielder was removed from the club's digital museum, a move that caused a stir on social media.


Gerson isn't in great form at Zenit . He was left out of the Brazilian national team's last call-up and has only played six matches in the current Russian Championship. Behind-the-scenes reports indicate that the player is unhappy with his situation in Russian football.


BAP RULES OUT RETURN


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, Gerson has not requested a return to Mengão and intends to turn things around at Zenit , where he has a contract until mid-2030. The same investigation indicates that Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP), president of the club's Board of Directors, does not consider opening the door for the number 8's return.

BOTO WORKS FOR RENEWALS


While Gerson continues his journey in Russian football, the Mais Querido board is focusing its efforts on specific renewals . José Boto is working to extend Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028.

Furthermore, the manager is trying to unlock negotiations with Filipe Luís to ensure his continued coaching tenure . The initial offer was rejected, and the coach is demanding a salary increase to extend his contract.

The dispute between Internacional and Flamengo over Thiago Maia's debt has entered a new chapter. According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio Grande do Sul club suffered another defeat at the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) , after having its "request for clarification" denied.


According to Venê Casagrande, Colorado still has the option of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber . However, this procedure is often costly and, in most cases, does not change decisions already made by the CNRD. Therefore, Flamengo is closely monitoring the case's developments and hopes to receive the amounts owed directly from Internacional.


The decision requires Internacional to pay €1,472,588.33 (approximately R$9 million at the current exchange rate) for the breach of contract involving Thiago Maia. In addition, the Rio Grande do Sul club must pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs.


NEGOTIATION WITH SANTOS

Back in 2025, during a transfer window, Santos tried to sign Thiago Maia . However, the deal ended up not moving forward precisely because of this legal dispute between Internacional and Flamengo .


ABOUT THAT...

While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium . Soon after, Mengão faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores, on the 18th.

After a turbulent start to the season, Boto decided to reduce external communication and focus on internal results. The Flamengo director, who initially spoke openly to the press, both after matches and through digital channels, decided to change his stance after successive leaks of important information .


At the request of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) after a long meeting, Boto stopped any direct contact with major media outlets , starting to work more privately behind the scenes at the club.


The change in approach was accompanied by results . After a positive transfer window, in which he sought to fulfill coach Filipe Luís's main requests, the manager also managed to calm internal friction. Players like Arrascaeta , De La Cruz, and Pedro, who previously had a distant relationship with Boto, now have a more fluid and relaxed dialogue.


NEGOTIATIONS AND RENEWALS

Currently, Boto continues working on specific renewals, such as those of Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta. He also participated in sales negotiations for promising young players from the youth academy , such as Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran, reinforcing the strategic and quiet approach of his management.


NEXT COMMITMENTS

While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium . Soon after, Mengão faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores, on the 18th.
