The defender is one of Mais Querido's highlights and has the desire to play in Europe
|
The defensive system of Flamengo has been a great highlight at the start of the season. Owner of the position, Fabrício Bruno has maintained excellent performances for Mais Querido and focuses only on one objective, which is to play in Europe. Thus, the defender's staff is already keeping an eye on possible proposals from European clubs.
According to information from the Coluna do Fla report, Mais Querido already knows about the defender's desire to move to Europe. For this reason, Flamengo was trying to renew the defender's contract since 2023. However, after receiving no proposals, the player extended his contract with Rubro Negro at the beginning of the season.
HIGHLIGHT IN ENGLISH NEWSPAPERSFor standing out in the Flamengo, Fabrício Bruno was called up by Dorival Júnior for the friendlies against England and Spain. The Mais Querido defender was one of the best in the victory against the English and was featured in the country's newspapers.
TITE DECIDES TO SAVE FABRÍCIO BRUNO IN LIBERTADORESAfter returning from the Brazilian team, Fabrício Bruno was a starter for Mais Querido in the victory over Nova Iguaçu last Saturday (30). Therefore, coach Tite decided to spare the defender for the Libertadores debut this Tuesday (2). The starting defender will be David Luiz.
So, with Fabrício Bruno on the bench, Rubro-Negro will debut on Tuesday night (2), at 7pm, in the Copa Libertadores da América. The game will be against Millionarios, in Bogotá, Colombia.
The club has a big difference in work

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.
Full-back criticizes opponents after Brasileirão match

In an intense match full of confusion, Flamengo was defeated 2-1 by Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena last Sunday (1). Wesley, who was at the center of a widespread fight at the end of the game, criticized the way the opponents acted.
Corinthians entered the field determined, as had been promised by its technical committee, board and players to the throughout the week. Treating the confrontation against Flamengo as a true final, the São Paulo team played with great intensity, which at several moments bordered on excessive. Upon leaving the stadium, Wesley was seen limping and, when asked about a possible injury, he spared no criticism of the Corinthians players: "The guys are crazy, man", said the full-back.
Although Wesley went to confront Yuri after the foul, the fight intensified due to the uncontrolled reaction of the Corinthians players when trying to resolve the situation. Fabrício Bruno commented on the incident and criticized the refereeing, stating that the player who threw the first punch did not even receive a yellow card. "It's unbelievable, the first guy who throws the punch doesn't even get a yellow card. These things always happen. In a classic like this, you need better refereeing", said the defender.
