A big surprise marked Flamengo's lineup for the clash against Fortaleza, with Matheus Gonçalves starting and remaining on the field for the 90 minutes of the match. For the first time in the Brazilian Championship, the young 18-year-old midfielder started a game. When asked about the opportunity given to the player only in the 16th round, Tite praised the promise's dedication and highlighted the boy's performance on Thursday (11), at Maracanã.
“Matheus is creating the opportunity. He created it because of the serious work he has been doing throughout training. He is young, created the opportunity and did well for his work. He started on the left and Luiz (Araújo) on the right”, said Tite in a press conference after the match between Flamengo and Fortaleza, which ended with the Ceará team winning 2-1 in the Brasileirão.
“The plays weren't progressing, when they switched, Matheus made a great move on the right and I said: 'Stay'. His performance determined it. We didn't have many other external options. We tried to take advantage, I left it there because Matheus was good in the combinations. He started on the left side and then went to the right,” added the coach. Tite's decision proved to be the right one, with the young man standing out on the field.
Against Fortaleza, Matheus Gonçalves finished five times, with two accurate shots. Furthermore, the midfielder had 93 touches of the ball, completing 73% of his passes and making two tackles. The 18-year-old also attempted five dribbles, making three. According to the SofaScore statistics platform, the talent received Flamengo's best rating, with 7.8. This solid performance reinforced the coach's and fans' confidence in the player's potential.
Receiving praise from Tite, Matheus Gonçalves will face strong competition in the next Brasileirão matches. This is because the Uruguayan quartet formed by Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Viña and Varela will return from the Copa América for the clash against Criciúma, in Brasília, on July 20th. The competition for places in the starting team promises to be intense, but Matheus has already demonstrated that he has the capacity to fight for his place in the red and black squad.

Two of the CRF's most experienced players are in the final stages of their contracts, with their future still uncertain. Gabigol, the club's idol, and defender David Luiz have contracts valid until December 31, 2024. The uncertainty about whether they will stay raises discussions behind the scenes, especially with the presidential elections approaching.
The situation of defender David Luiz is delicate. Although his name is well evaluated within the current management, led by Rodolfo Landim, who supports Rodrigo Dunshee, the defender's continuity in the squad is not seen with the same enthusiasm by other wings of the club.
David Luiz had his contract was automatically renewed in January this year, after fulfilling the clause of playing in at least 20 matches, with 45 minutes on the field in each one. As a result, his contract was extended until the end of 2024. If Dunshee wins the elections, it is likely that Mengão will propose a renewal for another year.
The agreement, however, must be signed without an increase salary and without the payment of gloves. David Luiz has already expressed interest in remaining at the club, but the final decision should only take place after the presidential election.
The Mais Querido elections, scheduled for December, will be fundamental in defining the future of the two athletes. Depending on who takes charge, priorities and decisions about hiring and renewals may change.
