Football Sunday started early for Flamengo fans. This is because the team led by Tite had the classic against Botafogo, valid for the Brasileirão, scheduled for 11am. Therefore, whoever went to Maracanã, in addition to the intense heat, saw Flamengo once again with the ball, but without posing any danger to the opponent. Therefore, defeat to Botafogo by 2x0 in another game bringing criticism to Tite.Summary
The game started balanced, with Savarino creating the first chance and Botafogo taking advantage of the counterattacks to reach forward. But Flamengo was better for much of the first half. Tite's team had more ball possession (54% x 46%), more shots (8 x 6) and more corners (5 x 0). The most dangerous chance was a shot from Luiz Araújo that skimmed the post. But, despite being better, Flamengo had little concern for goalkeeper John Victor, who only had to save a shot from Pedro deflected by Damián Suárez. Botafogo, in turn, had most of their shots blocked by the red and black defense.
In the second half, Flamengo still had the ball, but Botafogo became a little more dangerous. The game remained warm, until the black and white team opened the scoring. In a rehearsed corner, Luiz Henrique opened the scoring.
Instead of going all out and looking for a draw and perhaps a turnaround, Flamengo saw their rival from Rio celebrate at Maracanã. With 47 minutes, Botafogo scored the second goal. In the throw-in, Diego Hernández received it in front, shared it with Fabricio Bruno, and Jeffinho received it in the area. The attacker saw Savarino arriving free and passed it to his teammate, who finished as Rossi left.
And now?With the result, Rubro-negro leaves the G4 and falls to fifth place in the table, with the same 7 points as fourth place, Bahia. However, Flamengo needs to turn the key, because they have the Brazilian Cup ahead. In this sense, Tite's team will face Amazonas, next Wednesday, at 9:30 pm, also at Maracanã.

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
