Carlo Ancelotti did not spare Flamengo in his first official list as coach of the Brazilian National Team. The Italian coach called up five of the club's players: full-backs Alex Sandro and Danilo, defender Léo Ortiz, defensive midfielder Gerson and right-back Wesley. The call-up comes less than a month before the Rubro-Negro's debut in the Club World Cup, scheduled for June 16 in the United States. The FIFA date, with games between the 5th and 10th of the same month, shortens the physical preparation planned by the club's football department.
On social media, the athletes did not hide their satisfaction. Wesley , who was called up for the second time, posted a photo wearing the national team's jersey and wrote : "Happy and motivated to represent our country once again!! Let's go Brazil" . The tone was similar to that of Léo Ortiz, who is currently playing for the team: "Very happy and honored!"
Gerson, despite suffering from a slight inflammation in his knee — suffered during the victory over Palmeiras last Sunday —, was also called up. The call-up indicates that the national team's technical committee does not consider the situation to be serious , and the number 8 celebrated on social media with a picture of himself wearing the green and yellow shirt in the qualifiers.
The experienced Alex Sandro and Danilo, who are once again being considered for the cycle with Ancelotti, were confirmed in the list for the commitments against Ecuador and Paraguay, on June 5 and 10, both valid for international friendlies. For Flamengo, the mass call-up has a direct impact. This is because the Brazilian Championship will be suspended during the FIFA Day, and the period would be used to intensify the physical part and adjust details of the team before the trip to the USA. The club leaves on June 11, one day after the last game of the National Team.
Flamengo's technical committee is already working on an adapted plan. There will be remote monitoring with the national team's professionals, especially in the physical monitoring of the athletes. The Flamengo's physical trainers will maintain frequent contact to ensure that the players return in good condition and have specific recovery protocols.

Real Madrid had a spectacular performance from Kylian Mbappé and thrashed Kairat, from Kazakhstan, 5-0, this Tuesday (30), in the second round of the Champions League group stage, in Almaty. The Frenchman scored a hat-trick, reaching five goals in the competition and taking over the Champions League's top scorer.
Besides the Frenchman, Camavinga and Brahim also found the net, completing the Spanish team's thrashing. With the victory, Real Madrid now has six points from two rounds , provisionally taking the lead in the group, while Kairat remains pointless and sits last.
Vini Jr. started the match as Real Madrid's Champions League captain, but had a lackluster performance and missed a clear chance in the first half. The Brazilian gave way to Rodrygo midway through the second half , while Mbappé led the attack.
The Frenchman not only scored three goals, but also produced some impressive plays, including a flick and a backheel pass that almost resulted in a goal for Vini Jr. With Tuesday's three goals, Mbappé reached the 60-goal mark in Champions League history, becoming the competition's sixth-highest scorer.
Flamengo's next match will be this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã, against Cruzeiro . The match, valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão Betano, is considered decisive as it pits the top two teams in the table against each other.

Santos is already planning reinforcements for the 2026 season, with Flamengo's Everton Cebolinha among the names being considered. According to Bolavip Brasil, the striker was introduced to coach Paulo Vojvoda , who approved the possibility of a move for the player.
Other Brazilian clubs are also monitoring the winger's situation, including Grêmio and Atlético-MG , who are emerging as potential competitors in the dispute for the athlete who has not been getting many opportunities under coach Filipe Luís.
Signed by Flamengo in 2022, Everton Cebolinha hasn't found good opportunities with the team and isn't seen as a regular starter . Mengão's number 11 has even expressed interest in returning to Grêmio, a club he holds dear.
“ It's been five years since I left Grêmio, but my love and affection for the club remain the same ,” said Cebolinha in an interview with Rádio Imortal, recalling that he was approached by the Rio Grande do Sul club shortly after his arrival at Benfica, six months later.
While his future is being monitored by other clubs, Everton Cebolinha prepares for his next match with Flamengo . In the next round of the Brasileirão Betano, the Red-Blacks face Cruzeiro at Maracanã in a head-to-head match for the lead. The Rio de Janeiro team currently has 54 points and is looking to maintain its lead at the top of the table.
Despite interest from teams, the Mais Querido's jewel has a high termination fee and Rubro-Negro may not release the player in the next transfer window.

Flamengo's promising young striker Wallace Yan has caught the attention of two Premier League clubs: Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to Sport Witness , both have expressed interest in signing the player, but Flamengo has yet to decide whether it will negotiate with the red-and-black star in the next transfer window.
According to the publication, Crystal Palace appears to have an advantage over Wolverhampton in the attempt to sign him , but there is no confirmation that Rubro-Negro will give up on the athlete in January, despite the few recent opportunities.
Wallace Yan recently renewed his contract with Flamengo, resulting in a salary increase and an increased release clause. GE reports that the striker's contract is €60 million, equivalent to approximately R$375 million at the current exchange rate. This amount makes negotiations complex, even with interest from European clubs.
The player's most brilliant moment for the club was during the Club World Cup , including scoring the goals against Chelsea in a 3-1 victory over the Blues. Since then, he has lost his place in Filipe Luís's squad.
While Wallace Yan's future is being monitored internationally, Flamengo is focusing on the Brasileirão championship. The Rio de Janeiro team's next match will be against Cruzeiro, on Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm , at Maracanã, for the 25th round of Série A. The match is considered decisive, as it pits the top two teams in the competition against each other, with Flamengo leading with 54 points.
