This Sunday (17) Flamengo begins its intense search for the Brazilian Cup. Jorge Sampaoli will have his first experience with the red and black in a championship final, but the atmosphere within the CT and in the club's day-to-day life is far from ideal. According to sources linked to 'GE' things are closer to 'terrible'.
Since Mais Querido was eliminated early from the Libertadores, in the round of 16 against Olimpia (PAR), at the beginning of August, things have been going from bad to worse for the Argentine coach. With the result, the fans rose up in outrage and began asking for his resignation. The news that he would no longer be with the team in 2024 came a few days later.
One of the biggest reasons for Sampaoli's lack of success in the team is the lack of relationships with his co-workers. This includes employees of the coaching staff, but also members of the board and even the players. He has a way that is considered 'cold' and 'distant' in dealing with various subjects, which puts people off.
In a game against Grêmio in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, when it was already known that he was leaving, a very strange moment happened. During the match, Arrascaeta scored the winning goal and, gesturing with his hands, asked everyone to gather around Sampaoli. Request accepted, and Gabigol and Fabrício Bruno were inserting the coach into the circle with a few pats on the head.
However, in the post-game press conference, Sampaoli said that "one month corresponds to one year at Flamengo" and that so I couldn't say whether it would continue or not until the games with São Paulo. Furthermore, when asked about the collective hug, he stated that unity had to appear especially in times of difficulty. In other words, he repelled the approach.
As much as the president of Mais Querido, Rodolfo Landim, has told the Press how satisfied he is with the coach, this does not seem to be the opinion of football leaders. Both Bruno Spindel (football president) and Marcos Braz (football vice-president) have a bad relationship with him. It's even worse with other employees, according to 'GE'.
There are still those within the club who consider him an excellent coach in tactical and technical aspects, as well as a professional who is super willing to work. On the other hand, there is an almost unanimous perception about the extent to which we fail to deal with people.
Those who live in the training environment describe the climate as "terrible". Not specifically due to disagreements or arguments, such as the cases of aggression between Pablo Fernández and Pedro and Gerson and Varela. But also due to the lack of harmony and lack of relaxation in the workplace.
Reports show that conversations are scarce, and it is not uncommon for professionals to count down the hours for Flamengo to decide their life in the Copa do Brazil and begin restructuring the work environment without Jorge Sampaoli.
The Brazilian Cup final match against São Paulo will be at Maracanã this Sunday (17th) and starts at 4pm (Brasília time). The return game will be the following week, on September 24th, at the Morumbi Stadium, in the capital of São Paulo, starting at the same time. Flamengo is looking to become five-time champion, while Tricolor Paulista still wants to win the tournament for the first time in its history.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.
This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.
The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.
Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.
Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.
A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.
The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.

After the recent defeat, the players of Flamengo demonstrated a speech of confidence and focus on recovery for the next challenges. Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta, the team's midfielder, emphasized the need to leave the negative result behind and direct all efforts towards the second leg. For him, Flamengo is fully capable of reversing the score, even after a performance below expectations.
Arrascaeta highlighted the impact of the goal conceded at the beginning of the match. According to him, the team lost emotional control when dealing with the disadvantage, which compromised performance throughout the match. “They scored a quick goal, we got out of control, we didn't know how to play with the disadvantage. But I'm convinced that we're going there to win the game”, said the player. The midfielder also highlighted the merit of the opponent in knowing how to manage the advantage obtained from the beginning of the game.
Next from Arrascaeta, midfielder Gerson also spoke about the situation of Flamengo. The player adopted a similar tone to his colleague, reinforcing that the team still has a chance of reversing the situation and seeking to qualify for the next phase. He highlighted the importance of a quick recovery, both physical and mental, so that the squad is prepared to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship, and then turn its attention to the decisive game in the Libertadores.
This positive mentality is essential for Flamengo, which is experiencing pressure on several fronts. In the Brazilian Championship, the team seeks to remain among the leaders, while in the Libertadores, it faces the need to overcome an adverse score to continue in the continental competition. Gerson highlighted that the key to recovery lies in mental strength and the ability to react quickly after an unfavorable result. According to him, it is essential that the team maintains focus and confidence, even in the face of difficulties.
The defeat, although painful, does not seem to have completely shaken the group's morale. Both Arrascaeta and Gerson demonstrate confidence in the team's ability to turn the situation around, as long as adjustments are made so that the mistakes made in the last game are not repeated. To achieve this, Flamengo will have to work on several areas, from tactical preparation to emotional control during the match.
