Marco Antônio stood out in the youth teams of Corinthians, where his talent as a midfielder soon caught the attention of international scouts. In 2019, he was signed by Lazio, where he became part of the main squad. During his time in Europe, the player improved his defensive and tactical skills, becoming a fundamental player in the Italian team's midfield.
At Lazio, Marco Antônio gained notoriety not only for his defensive ability, but also for his vision of the game and precision in his passes. These characteristics make him a versatile and essential player in any tactical scheme. The European experience has certainly added a new level of maturity and professionalism to their game, something that Flamengo is looking to further enhance.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW INVESTMENT
O Flamengotem a recent history of important signings, such as the cases of Gabigol and Filipe Luís, who returned to Brazil after periods in Europe and helped the club win important titles. The possible arrival of Marco Antônio follows the same line of reinforcing the squad with players who bring significant international experience.
Flamengo seeks to remain competitive both on the national and international scene. To this end, the board has invested heavily in hires that can add quality and experience to the team. Marco Antônio, with his experience at Lazio, could be the missing piece to further strengthen the Red and Black midfield.
According to journalist Júlio Miguel Neto, midfielder Marco Antônio, currently at Lazio, from Italy, is open to negotiating with Flamengo. The 23-year-old player would have given the go-ahead for his agent to analyze the Rio club's proposal. Marco Antônio is aware of Flamengo's interest and has already spoken to people close to him about his desire to return to Brazil and wear the Sacred Mantle.

On Monday (2), a new commission was formed with the aim of discussing the implementation of Financial Fair Play in Brazil. The group is made up of clubs such as Flamengo and Palmeiras, who are looking for ways to adapt the rule to the particularities of national football. Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, was one of the strongest voices in the discussion. In a blunt statement, she called for more responsibility from club boards in financial management. Pereira highlighted that Financial Fair Play should not be seen just as a rule to be complied with, but as an essential tool to guarantee the sustainability of teams.
Financial Fair Play, created by UEFA, aims to control club spending and ensure that they do not spend more than they earn, promoting more balanced financial management. The idea is to prevent clubs from taking on excessive debt and guarantee a fairer level of competition between teams. The formation of the commission with Flamengo, Palmeiras and other clubs signals a significant step in the attempt to implement these rules more effectively in Brazil. The proposal is to discuss and adjust the rule so that it better fits the reality of Brazilian clubs, which face unique financial challenges.
FLAMENGO HAS "EYES OPEN"The main objective of commission is to establish guidelines that help control club spending without harming growth and investment in football. The intention is to create a balance between the need for investment to improve the teams and the obligation to maintain the financial health of the clubs.
Leila Pereira, in her statement, made an appeal for club boards to be more responsible and transparent in their management. She highlighted that compliance with financial rules must be a priority for all clubs and that it is essential that everyone is committed to more responsible management.

Last Thursday (5), Alexandre Mattos, CEO of Cruzeiro, discussed the discrepancy in uniform sales between Flamengo and the Minas Gerais team, highlighting Adidas' decision to prioritize Rubro-Negro. In an interview with journalist Samuel Venâncio, on YouTube, Mattos revealed his understanding of the situation and praised the level of engagement of Flamengo fans.
Alexandre Mattos commented on the impressive volume of sales of Flamengo shirts, highlighting the difference compared to other clubs. "When Palmeiras were Brazilian champions, the club sold 600 thousand pieces, which was a record. Guess how many pieces Flamengo sells per year? Everyone talks about one million… Flamengo sold two million shirts", said Mattos.< /p>
Mattos emphasized the magnitude of Flamengo in the sports uniforms market , underestimating the difference in volume compared to other teams. "It's a different quantity, another reality. The magnitude of the clubs, for me, is the same. But the exposure and media numbers are different. Two million shirts is a very significant number", highlighted the CEO.
Flamengo is preparing for the next challenge in the Copa do Brasil. On Thursday (12), the team will face Bahia in the return match of the quarterfinals. The match will be held at Maracanã, at 9:45 pm (Brasília time). Mengão enters the field with a minimal advantage after winning the first game 1-0.

In the confrontation between Palmeiras and Flamengo, the São Paulo team demonstrated superiority in the first 15 minutes of the game. During this period, Palmeiras recorded 57% possession of the ball and made eight shots, while Flamengo failed to create any offensive opportunities.
FLAMENGO HAS SCREAMING MOMENTS OF MISTAKES
O Flamengo, in response, tried to balance the match by increasing its ball possession. However, the Rio team often resorted to long throws that did not result in productive plays, returning possession to the opponent.
Coach Tite made tactical adjustments, changing the positions of Luiz Araújo and Gerson, in addition to constantly guiding Arrascaeta, but these changes did not have the desired effect. In the 37th minute of the game, Flamengo finally managed its first shot, a modest shot from Allan, who acted as a midfielder with more offensive freedom.
