Flamengo lost a great player for the remainder of the season: striker Pedro, who suffered a serious injury to his left knee. Thus, Mais Querido ended up being forced to keep an eye on the market in search of a replacement. However, the names mentioned so far are treated as "speculation and nothing concrete", according to Marcos Braz.
Mais Querido's vice-president of football followed the under-17 match against Madureira and gave an interview during halftime of the game for FlaTV. The manager explained the situation in the search for a replacement part for Pedro and made a point of making clear the difficulty of finding quality names.
“Now the window is practically over, and the restrictions are enormous for you to make a hire. For you to make a signing after the window closes, you can only do so if the player has been released before the start of the window, if he is already out of contract. And when you analyze this, there are very few players who are without a contract, and you understand that these can actually solve your problem”, analyzed the club's football vice.
The red-black leader concluded by talking about the speculation of names linked to Mais Querido in recent days: “There is a lot of speculation, we haven't even finished introducing the players yet that we hire. On Monday (9), we will present Plata“, declared Marcos Braz.
Since Pedro's injury was announced, Names like Martial and Memphis Depay, who signed with Corinthians, were two of the strongest in speculation, however, nothing concrete. In addition to these players, Choupo-Mouting and Jovetic were others speculated.
Rodolfo Landim's management ends with achievements on and off the field
|
The 2024 season is being a milestone in Flamengo's history, not only due to its results in competitions, but also due to administrative and structural advances. One of the biggest dreams of red and black fans is getting closer to becoming reality: the construction of the club's own stadium. Flamengo made official the purchase of the Gasologista land, in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, which will house the future home of Mais Querido.
The acquisition of the Gasologista land is considered one of the greatest achievements of the current administration. The purchase makes it possible to fulfill fans' long-standing desire and promises to transform the club in financial and structural terms, enabling greater autonomy for holding matches and events. With this initiative, Flamengo is moving forward in consolidating its own stadium, something that has been discussed for years.
In addition to structural advances, Rodolfo Landim's tenure, which ends at the end of 2024, is marked by achievements both on and off the pitch. However, the club's current president should continue to play an important role at Flamengo in the coming years.
According to information from the newspaper O Globo, Rodrigo Dunshee, current general and legal vice-president of Flamengo, and likely candidate for the club's presidency, plans to announce that Rodolfo Landim will occupy the position of CEO in 2025, if he wins the elections. With this, Landim will remain directly involved in the administration of Flamengo for another three years.
During his management, Rodolfo Landim was responsible for Flamengo's significant victories, including national and international titles. In addition to sporting successes, the management stood out for its modernization initiatives and financial growth of the club, which culminated in the purchase of land for the stadium and administrative reorganization.

The attacker Carlinhos should be Flamengo's starter in the classic against Botafogo this Sunday (18), in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The number 22 must take over the space left by Pedro and Gabigol. Playing against the Rio rival brings back good memories for the player. In this year's Carioca he scored two goals against Botafogo.
At the time, Carlinhos was wearing the Nova Iguaçu number 9 shirt. The match was held in February, at the Engenhão stadium, in the sixth round of the tournament. Botafogo led 2-0, but Carlinhos led his team's reaction by scoring two goals. In the end, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
The game against Botafogo will be Carlinhos' fourth as a starter with the Rubro-Negro shirt. He was part of Tite's lineup against Palmeiras, Atlético-MG and São Paulo. Against the Minas Gerais club, number 22 scored the second goal of the game.
Without Pedro, Gabigol and Everton Cebolinha, Mengão's number 22 should gain a sequence in Tite's starting team . In addition to the match against Botafogo, he should be selected in the starting eleven against Bolívar, on Thursday (22), in the return game of the round of 16.
As Pedro and Gabigol only return in September , Carlinhos should also play against: Bragantino (25); in the first game of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil (27, 28 or 29); and Corinthians (01/09).
Striker projects season titlesSigned by Mais Querido after being second top scorer in the Campeonato Carioca, striker Carlinhos projected to win all the titles that Flamengo has to compete for this season. The projection was made during 'Carona com Smigol', a FLATV program.
In the conversation, he said that “this energy of ours, this vibration of ours in each training session and each game, everyone donating to the maximum, so nothing is better than finishing as champions of the Brazilian Championship, we will achieve that, God willing. Let's look for all possible titles.”
