From his first steps on a football field, Victor Hugo always knew that his destiny was intertwined with the white lines and green lawn of the world's most beloved sport. Like many talented young people, he dreamed of reaching the pinnacle of his career, dribbling past opponents and scoring decisive goals in packed stadiums. However, the path to glory is not always straight, and Victor Hugo soon discovered that his exceptional abilities would take him on a journey full of challenges, difficult decisions and unexpected opportunities.


The opening chapter of this epic story was written when Victor Hugo was discovered by talented scouts, who quickly recognized his raw potential. His refined technique and vision of the game impressed everyone, and he soon found himself part of one of the best youth teams in the country. Under the spotlight of early success, many imagined that the young prodigy was destined to follow in the footsteps of legendary idols, winning trophies and worldwide fame.


However, as is common in the world of football, the fate of many Sometimes he has other plans. When Victor Hugo finally made his transition to professional football, he discovered the scenario was much more complex than he had ever imagined. The physical and mental demands of the game increased exponentially, and he soon found himself struggling to find his place among more experienced players and more elaborate tactics.


One of the first bends in the road came when renowned coach Tite , known for his strategic vision and tact with the players, decided to give Victor Hugo an opportunity in the starting team. However, as Tite would later admit publicly, his decision to play him out of position proved to be a critical error. In a frank interview, the coach expressed his regret, acknowledging that he had harmed the young player by placing him in an inappropriate role.

"I harmed Victor Hugo", confessed Tite, sincerely. "I put him in a role that isn't his. Sometimes we want to give athletes opportunities, but we make mistakes. He's 10, 7 or 11. He's not a second midfield player." These words echoed across the football world, sparking heated discussions and deep reflections on the role of coaches in mentoring and developing young talent. While some criticized Tite for his error in judgement, others praised his humility in recognizing the mistake and taking responsibility for his actions. In the midst of this controversy, Victor Hugo remained silent, absorbing the lessons learned and determined to prove himself on the field.


As the season progressed, Victor Hugo faced new challenges with each game. His confidence was shaken by negative press comments and the murmurs of disgruntled fans. Yet he found the strength to keep moving forward, fueled by the unwavering belief in his own potential and the unwavering support of his family and friends.

At a decisive moment, during a crucial confrontation against a formidable rival , Victor Hugo had the opportunity to redeem himself. With the game tied and time running out, he received the ball at his feet and launched a daring attack. With quick and precise movements, he dribbled past opposing defenders and kicked the ball towards the goal. A tense silence enveloped the stadium as the ball flew towards the net. And then, a deafening roar erupted from the stands as the goal was scored, sealing victory for Victor Hugo's team.

It was a moment of triumph for the young player, but it was also much more than that. It was a testament to his resilience, determination and ability to overcome adversity. It was the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice and tireless dedication to the sport he loved. And most of all, it was a powerful reminder that, in the world of football, missed opportunities can be turned into unforgettable triumphs. As the sun set over the packed stadium and fans applauded ecstatically, Victor Hugo looked up at the darkening sky and smiled. His journey was far from over, but in that moment, he knew he was right where he belonged: in the beating heart of the beautiful game, writing his own success story, one play at a time.

As initially revealed by journalists Rodrigo Mattos and Bruno Braz, Turkey's Fenerbahçe presented an official proposal to Filipe Luís's staff following José Mourinho's dismissal. The Turkish team positively evaluated the Brazilian coach's work and signaled financial compensation.


However, Filipe Luís quickly decided not to accept the offer. The board, led by Bap, along with the football department led by José Boto, acted behind the scenes to prevent the coach's loss.


After a year at the helm, Filipe Luís has won titles, worked consistently, and maintained a firm stance in leading the team. One of the most talked-about cases was Pedro's, which the coach resolved efficiently , reinforcing his internal management capabilities.


FLAMENGO PRESENTS PROPOSAL

According to Mônica Alves, the Rio de Janeiro club has already submitted a contract renewal proposal to Filipe Luís. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. Initially, the new contract will last for one more season, with the possibility of a two-year extension. Despite the financial compensation offered by Fenerbahçe, the coach preferred to continue working in Rio de Janeiro.


FLAMENGO REMAINS FOCUSED ON THE MATCHES

While negotiating the renewal, Rubro-Negro prepares for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A. Flamengo faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.

After the Club World Cup, Flamengo sold Gerson to Zenit St. Petersburg for €25 million. The deal was mired in controversy: the Rio de Janeiro board was angered by the player's and his agent's behavior during the negotiations. As a result, the midfielder was removed from the club's digital museum, a move that caused a stir on social media.


Gerson isn't in great form at Zenit . He was left out of the Brazilian national team's last call-up and has only played six matches in the current Russian Championship. Behind-the-scenes reports indicate that the player is unhappy with his situation in Russian football.


BAP RULES OUT RETURN


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, Gerson has not requested a return to Mengão and intends to turn things around at Zenit , where he has a contract until mid-2030. The same investigation indicates that Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP), president of the club's Board of Directors, does not consider opening the door for the number 8's return.

BOTO WORKS FOR RENEWALS


While Gerson continues his journey in Russian football, the Mais Querido board is focusing its efforts on specific renewals . José Boto is working to extend Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028.

Furthermore, the manager is trying to unlock negotiations with Filipe Luís to ensure his continued coaching tenure . The initial offer was rejected, and the coach is demanding a salary increase to extend his contract.

The dispute between Internacional and Flamengo over Thiago Maia's debt has entered a new chapter. According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio Grande do Sul club suffered another defeat at the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) , after having its "request for clarification" denied.


According to Venê Casagrande, Colorado still has the option of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber . However, this procedure is often costly and, in most cases, does not change decisions already made by the CNRD. Therefore, Flamengo is closely monitoring the case's developments and hopes to receive the amounts owed directly from Internacional.


The decision requires Internacional to pay €1,472,588.33 (approximately R$9 million at the current exchange rate) for the breach of contract involving Thiago Maia. In addition, the Rio Grande do Sul club must pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs.


NEGOTIATION WITH SANTOS

Back in 2025, during a transfer window, Santos tried to sign Thiago Maia . However, the deal ended up not moving forward precisely because of this legal dispute between Internacional and Flamengo .


ABOUT THAT...

While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium . Soon after, Mengão faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores, on the 18th.
