The Flamengo faced boos and criticism from the fans after the 1-0 defeat to Peñarol, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Libertadores, which took place this Thursday (19). The fans' discontent was evident, creating a tense atmosphere in the stadium. However, goalkeeper Rossi defended the team and appealed for the fans' support, arguing that booing creates a harmful environment for everyone, both players and coaching staff.
Rossi was clear in stating that booing negatively affects performance of the team, creating a demotivating atmosphere: "It creates an environment that is bad for everyone. And it seems like we are doing our job poorly. So we need support." With this statement, the goalkeeper makes clear his concern about the emotional impact that constant criticism from fans can have on players, especially in delicate moments like the current one.

The Flamengo, one of the most traditional clubs with a massive fan base, faces constant pressure to present positive results. The defeat at home to Peñarol intensified this demand, and the dissatisfied fans did not hesitate to express their discontent. The boos echoed at Maracanã, a reflection of the frustration of a fan base that is used to seeing their team compete at a high level, especially in international competitions like the Libertadores.
Despite the defeat, Rossi also highlighted what he considers positive points of Flamengo's performance during the game. According to the goalkeeper, the team was superior to Peñarol, especially in terms of ball possession: "More than 70% ball possession (Flamengo had it in the game) and we're still alive." The red-and-black team controlled most of the match, but were unable to turn that dominance into goals.

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.

Youth product gains strength to be a starter in Flamengo vs. Fluminense

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.

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
