After the goalless draw between Flamengo and LDU , this Tuesday (22), in Quito, for the third round of the group stage of the Libertadores, defender Danilo did not mince words when evaluating the team's performance. Despite the solid defensive performance and the title of best player on the field by Conmebol, the defender demanded more attention from the team in the missed goal opportunities. For him, there was a lack of focus in the decisive moments of the match.
There was a lack of that extra desire to resolve the issue.” - said Danilo
TEAM DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHANCES CREATED
Rubro-Negro had at least two good opportunities to score, but failed to finish. Danilo acknowledged the collective effort, but pointed out that the lack of concentration in specific plays prevented the three points from being won. “I think we could have won if we had a little more concentration,” said the defender. “We just lacked that extra desire to resolve the game.”
ADAPTING TO ALTITUDE DIFFICULTIES
The defender also praised the team's commitment in the face of the adversities of the altitude in Quito. According to him, the group showed progress in the aspect of "learning to suffer", something he considers essential in difficult matches like the one on Tuesday . "It's not easy to play here. But the team fought until the end. That has to be valued too", added Danilo.
The match had a special flavor for Danilo. After 14 years, he played in the Libertadores again. The last time was in 2011, with Santos, when he won the championship and scored a goal in the final. Now, at the end of his career and playing as a defender, the defender seeks to make the most of these last experiences in the continental tournament.
“I’m probably in my last years as a professional athlete, so I want to enjoy every moment. Being part of this team is a privilege. It’s a qualified group that has helped me a lot in this readaptation. Now it’s time to focus on the next games and try to qualify first,” said Danilo, who is now a trusted member of coach Filipe Luís.

Flamengo does not accept content considered false and issues a statement repudiating the journalist! Check it out
The club denies a report by reporter Diogo Dantas, about the red-black board regarding the lineup chosen by Filipe Luís against Bayern

On Monday afternoon, Flamengo issued an official statement, repudiating and denying an article published after the elimination to Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup , which said that the red-black board would not have liked Arrascaeta's entry as a starter, that is, criticizing the line-up of coach Filipe Luís.
FOLLOW THE NOTE IN FULL
" The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo repudiates the content published by journalist Diogo Dantas in his column in the newspaper O Globo, this Monday (30), entitled Behind the scenes: Flamengo's board feared that Filipe Luís would field Arrascaeta and disapproved of the strategy against Bayern. The text in question does not find any support in the reality of Flamengo's football environment and lacks veracity in its premises and conclusions.
Unfortunately, this is yet another example of a practice that is already recurrent, which insists on transforming speculation and personal impressions into “news”, with the sole objective of generating engagement, clicks and audience, even if this compromises the credibility of the information and respect for the professionals involved.
Since the beginning of 2025, Flamengo has adopted an attitude of absolute professionalism in football, without any interference from managers in its routine and environment. The team's delegation at the FIFA Club World Cup is an example of this, since all 78 members are Flamengo employees, which reinforces the discrepancy between what was published and the truth.
The club reaffirms its full confidence in De Arrascaeta, one of the team's leaders, who is enjoying one of his best seasons at Flamengo, and also in the decisions and leadership of coach Filipe Luís, who has full autonomy to make decisions. The season's numbers leave no doubt: first place in the Brazilian Championship with the number 10 leading the competition's scoring charts, titles in the Carioca and the Brazilian Super Cup, in addition to qualifying for the round of 16 of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup.
We will remain firm in our commitment to the truth, to respecting our athletes and to valuing the serious work that has been done by all the professionals at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo."
RUBRO-NEGRO LEAVES FOR RIO THIS MONDAY
The delegation will depart for Rio de Janeiro this Monday (30), at 10 pm (Brasília time), with arrival scheduled for 6:30 am. Disembarkation will take place at the international hall of RIOGaleão Airport. The team will return to training on Saturday morning, at 9:30 am, at CT George Helal.

After having his development praised by José Boto , Juninho had his future revealed by the Flamengo director. In an interview with GE, the Mais Querido's football director spoke about the striker's situation and asked the fans to be patient with the athlete.
José Boto talks about signing Juninho: "It was a signing that had an objective and fulfilled that objective that we envisioned."
He continued: "When we sign a player, we sign him for a specific role on the field, but also for a specific circumstance. It is obvious that these circumstances change, and we knew that, from the moment Pedro returned. This does not mean that it was a failed signing", highlighted the Flamengo director before adding:
"It's obvious that we expected him to adapt better, but that's something very difficult to predict. We think he has more to give. Now, when you have players of a higher level than you, it's difficult to have these opportunities to develop further. It depends a lot on the player, on his resilience. But the objective of the signing was achieved. We never went to get Juninho thinking that he would be our center forward and score 50 goals. He was to fill a gap that existed, and the player had the characteristics that we wanted and he wasn't expensive, " concluded Boto, in an interview with 'GE'.
THIRD OPTION AT FLAMENGO
Despite José Boto's words, Juninho has become Flamengo's third option. This is because, in recent games, Filipe Luís has opted to field Bruno Henrique as an improvised number 9. In the meantime, the striker is available on the bench.
SEASON SEQUENCE
After being eliminated from the Club World Cup, Flamengo will only return to the field on the week of July 13, when they will face São Paulo in the Brasileirão. In the meantime, the red-and-black squad will enjoy a few days of vacation before returning to activities.
