Rodinei started the final and was directly involved in the scoring, providing an assist in the 2-0 victory over OFI Crete, in a match that sealed the end of a five-year drought for the club in the national competition. Winning the Greek Cup crowned a dominant season for Olympiacos in the local scene. With the trophy, the team completed the national double, having secured the Greek Championship title with three rounds to spare.
With goals from El Kaabi and Yaremchuk in the final, Olympiacos won the 29th Greek Cup in its history, extending its local dominance and rewarding the consistency of a team that has regained its leading role in the country . Rodinei is one of the team's technical and moral leaders. The Brazilian has now played 117 games for Olympiacos, scoring seven goals and providing 22 assists. These are impressive numbers for a full-back and explain his growing identification with the club.
In the 2023/24 season alone, Rodinei has already scored four goals and scored 13 assists, making him one of the most productive players in the Greek league, especially in his position . With the title, Rodinei equals the feat of Rafinha, another former Flamengo full-back, who also won the Greek double with Olympiacos in the 2019/20 season. Both are now in the select group of Brazilian champions there.
Despite being the biggest winner of the Greek Cup, Olympiacos had not lifted the trophy since 2019. This Saturday's victory, therefore, has symbolic and historic value, especially as it ends the drought. Rodinei has a renewed contract with Olympiacos until 2027. The extension was signed in September 2024, reflecting the club's recognition of the player's performance, who remains a key player in the offensive system and also in the dressing room.
At 33 years old, the full-back is perhaps experiencing the best moment of his career. After much criticism in Brazilian football, especially in his final stretch at Flamengo , he turned things around and became an example of overcoming obstacles abroad. During his time at the Rio de Janeiro club, Rodinei became a Brazilian champion, a Libertadores champion and a Copa do Brasil champion. However, he oscillated between being a starter and constantly receiving criticism. Today, in Greece, the scenario is the opposite.

The return leg is scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio. If they qualify, the club may make further roster changes before the quarterfinals. It's worth noting that Mais Querido is still searching for another striker to replace Pedro.

Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro arrives at the clash after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil, with the mission of winning to maintain the leadership of the competition. On the other side, they will have an opponent motivated by a campaign above all expectations .
Flamengo has 37 points, the same number as Cruzeiro, but leads on goal difference (24 to 19) and still has a game in hand over the Minas Gerais team. A victory at Maracanã will guarantee the Rio de Janeiro club the top of the table at the end of the first round .
Mirassol, meanwhile, is the big revelation in this Série A. In its debut season, the São Paulo team sits fifth with 28 points— the result of seven wins, seven draws, and only two losses in 16 matches . Interestingly, it's the team with the fewest losses in the championship, along with Flamengo . With a victory, the newcomer could enter the top four of the competition.
If Flamengo wins this Saturday, it will end Mirassol's three-month unbeaten streak. The São Paulo team's last loss was to Red Bull Bragantino on May 5th . Since then, Rafael Guanaes's team has won six and drawn three, with an impressive 77% success rate.
Initial projections pointed to a relegation battle, due to an experienced squad, an average age over 29, and several well-known names, such as midfielder Gabriel, formerly of Flamengo . However, the team's performance in the first round exceeded expectations: third-best attack (27 goals) and sixth-best defense (16 conceded), in addition to good results against more popular opponents.
Despite this, the strategy against Flamengo should follow the usual visiting team strategy at Maracanã: a defensive posture, deep lines, and a reliance on counterattacks . Flamengo, in turn, should control possession and look for spaces to create the chances that will secure the victory.
