The referee responsible for the first leg between Grêmio and Flamengo for the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil has already been defined. The judge has a career full of controversies. Among them are a World Cup game between England and Iran and a classic carioca with five sendings off.
Raphael Claus will be the referee of the match between Grêmio and Flamengo next Thursday (27). The first leg will take place in the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil and will be in Porto Alegre. Information about the refereeing team was reported by 'TNT Sports' and has already raised concerns among Internet users.
Judge Raphael is known in the sports world for some of the controversies in which he has been involved. The first to be mentioned is about his dubious performance at the Qatar World Cup in 2022. At the time, he was responsible for refereeing the match between the England and Iran teams. The referee awarded a penalty to the Persian team in the 54th minute of the second half. The very fact of reaching 54' of the second half was a reason for conversation. In total, Claus conceded 24 minutes of injury time in the match. In addition, the referee did not call a foul by Maguire, from England, on top of the Iranian defender in the second goal of the Europeans. According to some, in Brazil, VAR interference would happen anyway and Claus would go to the monitor to call a foul.
Another situation in which his work fell short was in the FLA X FLU of that same year. The game for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil was much commented for having had a total of five expulsions. The handing out of red cards was, in some circumstances, justifiable, but in others not. There was a profound imbalance in the match about what would be a fault and what was not. Complaints from the refereeing team conducted by Claus appeared to be disconnected with faults being ignored and others being applied without reason. In the game there were five fouls by Fluminense and 22 by Flamengo, but only one yellow card was delivered and it was due to a complaint. The VAR interferences didn't help either, being inconsistent and lacking in pattern.
Fans on both sides of next week's clash are hoping these cases aren't a preview of what might come to pass. The game will start at 21:30 (Brasília time) at Arena do Grêmio.

Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
According to Flamengo's plan https://www.flamengo.com.br/ , the coaching staff sees no room for the striker in the current roster rotation. The departure is part of a series of market moves to reduce the number of players outside the coach's plans.
Midfielder Victor Hugo has agreed to a loan move to Santos , a deal expected to be finalized in the coming hours. The news was reported by journalist Venê Casagrande and confirms another transfer window departure.
The 21-year-old had returned to Brazilian football after a stint in Turkey, but failed to make the first team. Facing direct competition from the likes of Luiz Araújo, Plata, and Matheus Gonçalves, the youngster opted to move to Vila Belmiro , despite interest from Corinthians .
Matheus Gonçalves, sold to Al Ahli;
Lorran, on loan to Pisa;
Victor Hugo, sent to Santos.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.
Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.
If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.
Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.
After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
A significant reduction in payroll following the departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran helps Mais Querido maintain financial stability.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.
The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.
One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
After achieving the biggest victory in the points era, beating Vitória 8-0, the isolated leader of the Brasileirão returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the competition.
