Flamengo beat Grêmio by 2 to 1 this Thursday (13/06), at Maracanã, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. It was the first match in the sequence that Mais Querido will have with absences from the Copa América. Thus, in the press conference after the game, coach Tite praised the strength of the red and black squad.
“I asked the president if he knew why we had won. He replied: ‘team’. He responded to what was represented. Flamengo does not have eleven players who start. Flamengo is a working group. And when I say working group, fans, management, coaching staff and athletes are included. That wins”, said Tite.
The coach was asked about Luiz Araújo, who came on in the first half and scored the two goals of the Red and Black victory. Tite then praised not only him, but all the athletes who played in the match, in which Flamengo had many absences.
Maybe that's where he will be represented. Not just Luiz Araújo, but all those who played in a game in which we had five national team absences, three injuries – Carlinhos, Allan and Ayrton Lucas -, two injuries in the first half. If you don’t have a team, a working group, it’s not enough. Including with fan support.”

About Luiz Araújo
“Yeah an athlete that we also have as one of our starters. It's a shame that we can only enter with eleven starters. But, the safest thing of all is that we have given the same content to everyone, even those who have played fewer minutes. This is our security. So, when the athletes enter, they are already 'routineed' with their training”, said Cesar Sampaio.
What should the CBF and the clubs do to stop the Championship during the Copa América
“Rationalize the calendar. Leave money aside and preserve the health and quality of the show”, said Tite.
Times of Rio Grande do Sul after the rain tragedy
“We are all mobilized regarding the tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul. Part of the effects are felt with the displacement of teams from RS. So, we feel empathy at this moment”, said Cesar Sampaio.
“I spoke to Roger (Juventude coach), I repeat here: the Championship is already unbalanced due to this. We have to try to reduce this difference. He is already unbalanced. He is unbalanced by what happened in Rio Grande do Sul. It's unimaginable, it's just those who experience it. We are unable to speak here. Only those who suffer and lose a loved one can experience the scale of this. We are talking about something that is much more, far beyond football. So, it's already unbalanced”, said Tite.
How to keep the group steady with the sequence of games
We can use common sense. The CBF is thinking about relocating some games. I don't want to equate it with the loss of Rio Grande do Sul, but we were also devastated, because we lost important players and these injuries, which hurt us. So, it's something we should think about. If you have common sense, that would be good too.”
Importance of the game to enhance the strength of the group
“It’s not just the opportunity for those who enter , but from those who still play well too. Otherwise you’ll be left with a ready-made crutch of ‘We changed a lot’. Whoever is producing has to produce and whoever enters also has to produce. And then what we say is formed. With all the opportunities. Moving so many people and maintaining movement coordination is very difficult. Here's my thanks to the fans who understood this. After ten minutes, he started to support the team, because he understood the difficulty of the confrontation. These base kids, the more experienced athlete too, the more support he feels from the fans, the better he will produce. There will be more possibility of performance, more chance of victory, more ability to respect the Mantle. That's the relationship. This affection that the fans showed, specifically to Wesley, was very evident. Thanks. You are respecting Flamengo's entire history.”
On Luiz Araújo being able to return to being a starter
“Yes, because the field speaks. More than the coach's will, the field speaks.”
About Lorran's process
“I don't hold anyone back. I wanted to go in with twelve. I was even thinking of a way to include Lorran and Arrascaeta, but it's not possible”, said Tite.
“We are very careful, he is a young athlete. His technical quality is a differentiator, but he has been gaining minutes and experience with players in that position. Having the possibility of working on a promise with players like Arrascaeta, Pulgar, Nico, Gerson, in short, there is a lot to grow. We are careful and give it time. It has responded very well. He's a fantastic boy, who enchants”, said Cesar Sampaio”.
“I'm going to ask whoever is watching to take a trip back in time. Think back to when you were seventeen. For me it's damn long. That was when I debuted at Caxias. You put on your shirt, a tension. These are all aspects of evolution. Imagine us being seventeen years old, we will already find some of the answer.”
Without Allan, Pulgar and Igor Jesus, is there a tendency for Gerson to return to playing midfielder?
“Just as I said that the field spoke in relation to Luiz, the field spoke in relation to Gerson. Gerson was playing a lot. Then you take the player from where he is producing well, put him somewhere else. Who tells me that if it had started with Gerson on the inside and Luiz on the outside it would have been this performance? Who assures me? Now it's easy, but that's the line of thinking. Is Gerson breaking through on the side? It remains and we will try to organize where it is not. Otherwise we will be left without coherence. Did it happen in the game? There it is. I called Gerson, now go inside, because creation is also inside, it's central, it opened up the possibility and leaves Luiz to do it inside. Especially because Luiz was producing well, but Gerson came in and produced more. This competition at a high level is important for the team.”
What was it like facing an offensive team?
“It was a beautiful spectacle on the part of both teams. teams. A loyal, competitive search for the goal. They both have this characteristic. After we scored the goal too, when there was a pivot play and Grêmio came out, I knew it was going to open up spaces, because we had two arrows on the sides. It was no longer a frame one. It was an arrow with a side too, on the right side. Let me make an important acknowledgment: Thank you Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz. There are two players who have been adapted, Ortiz played the entire base as the first midfielder, but he was and has been playing as a defender. If necessary. Léo Pereira is not his specific role. And he brings them in as a builder... And if they don't perform well, the situation is exposed, because it's not their place. And they were helpful and ready. I went to talk to Léo Pereira, who was returning from injury, I didn't even finish speaking and he said: 'You can count on me, professor. You can place it on the side. I'll play, no problem'. When I spoke to Ortiz: ‘I’ve already played at the base in this situation’. In fact, he took a hard time from me. If you have a cramp, you don't need to go beyond the ball line. I played a little, to show how they exposed themselves.”
Flamengo Leadership
“I see it the same way. I told the athletes two things. The first is that in the two titles I have in the Brazilian Championship, which is an extremely balanced championship, the group is fundamental. It's not the eleven, the group is fundamental. And second: If you maintain your leadership, great, keep it that way. But, you have to be in the G-4 in the last rounds. The last rounds that decide. The end decides.”
Planning for the game against Athletico in this sequence
“Today we had to work hard to harmonize. We lost in all three sectors against a team that deserves all our respect, who beat us last year. So, we have to diagnose game by game. Even because of the injuries, we depend on the Department of Health, on re-presentation. We have focused game by game. This is a competition that we have to plan game by game. There's no point in making plans for a second, third, because sometimes you can lose the reference, the strategy for the next game. It is difficult. You have changes in the three sectors and manage to harmonize, in addition to the loss of athletes, and maintain the athletes' trust. Today, this minute, this victory, brings this confidence to the athlete himself. It's week by week, trusting in the next game.”
Matheus Gonçalves
“I understand individual situations. There are games that ask for one thing, others ask for another. Sometimes the need is clinical, as happened. After wear. Opportunities will arise for everyone.”
On rotating the squad
“The ‘I’ doesn’t play. Flamengo is a Manto, it is a club, it is its fans. He is the biggest reason, the athletes who are exposed. I remember Gerson once said 'It's a great honor to play for Flamengo, but it's a huge responsibility, a huge demand'. So, it belongs to a direction, which has a responsibility to the Mantle. It's from a fan base that this affection passes on. After ten, fifteen minutes, when she started hugging the athletes, I looked and said 'yes, that's it'.
Neymar
I can talk how respectful the relationship with Neymar was always at all times of work. We had a relationship of loyalty, saying things, right or wrong, always talking to each other. While he was always receptive to all athletes, especially young people who joined the team.

A contagem regressiva para a 21ª edição do Jogo das Estrelas já começou. O tradicional evento beneficente de fim de ano acontece no dia 27 de dezembro, no Maracanã, e já iniciou a venda de ingressos para o público geral. A principal novidade desta edição está no acesso ao estádio. Pela primeira vez na história do evento, a entrada será realizada exclusivamente por meio de biometria facial, reforçando o controle e a segurança do público presente.
A medida atende às novas regulamentações vigentes no Brasil para grandes eventos esportivos. O objetivo é agilizar o fluxo nas catracas e oferecer mais segurança aos torcedores. Comandado pelo ídolo Zico, o Jogo das Estrelas reúne nomes consagrados do futebol nacional e internacional. Toda a renda arrecadada é destinada a instituições de caridade. Recentemente, o evento passou a integrar o Roteiro Turístico e o Guia Oficial do município do Rio de Janeiro.
Para adquirir os ingressos, o torcedor deve acessar o site oficial do evento: https://jogodasestrelas.com/ . É necessário realizar login ou criar uma conta na plataforma antes de escolher o setor desejado no mapa do estádio. Cada usuário pode comprar até cinco ingressos. A finalização da compra exige atenção a um ponto fundamental. O cadastro da biometria facial é obrigatório para garantir o acesso ao Maracanã.
Há, no entanto, uma facilidade para quem frequenta o estádio com frequência. Torcedores que já cadastraram a biometria no Jogo das Estrelas de 2024 ou em partidas recentes de Flamengo, Vasco ou Botafogo não precisam repetir o processo. O sistema utiliza os dados já existentes. Para novos usuários, o cadastro deve ser concluído antes da confirmação do pagamento. Sem esse procedimento, a compra não é validada.
Os preços dos ingressos variam conforme o setor escolhido. Norte e Sul custam R$ 50, com meia-entrada a R$ 25. O setor Leste tem valor de R$ 80, enquanto o Oeste Inferior custa R$ 100, ambos com meia. A retirada de gratuidades começa no dia 21, às 10h. No dia do evento, os portões abrem às 14h, com o Jogo dos Artistas às 16h e a partida principal às 18h30.
Atacante, ex-Mengão, não teve a primeira temporada que esperava pelo Cruzeiro e pode estar de saída para outra equipe da primeira divisão

Após garantir permanência na elite do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Santos trabalha nos bastidores para reforçar o elenco visando a próxima temporada. Nesse contexto, o clube está próximo de anunciar a contratação de Gabigol, atacante que construiu história recente no Flamengo e hoje pertence ao Cruzeiro.
De acordo com informações do UOL, a diretoria santista está confiante no retorno do jogador e já ajusta os últimos detalhes para oficializar o acordo. As conversas avançam principalmente na definição salarial, considerada o principal ponto pendente da negociação.
Detentor dos direitos do atacante, o Cruzeiro não pretende mantê-lo no elenco para 2026. Assim, o clube mineiro tem adotado postura facilitadora para a saída do jogador após uma temporada aquém das expectativas.
Gabigol chegou a Belo Horizonte no início do ano, depois de encerrar o vínculo com o Flamengo. Ao longo da temporada, disputou 49 partidas, marcou 13 gols e distribuiu quatro assistências, números que não convenceram plenamente a comissão técnica nem a torcida.
A passagem pelo Cruzeiro também foi marcada por episódios de desgaste. A contratação de Tite para a próxima temporada pesa no cenário, já que treinador e atacante tiveram conflitos no período em que trabalharam juntos no Flamengo.
Além disso, Gabigol foi alvo de críticas da torcida cruzeirense após desperdiçar um pênalti decisivo na semifinal da Copa do Brasil, episódio que aumentou a pressão e contribuiu para o desfecho antecipado de sua passagem pelo clube mineiro.
Definida a negociação de Juninho, o Mengão encerra a temporada com número impressionante de receitas com negociações de atletas

Além do sucesso dentro de campo na temporada 2025, o Flamengo tem motivos de sobra para comemorar fora dele. O clube superou com ampla margem a projeção inicial de arrecadação com a venda de jogadores e fechou o ano com números muito acima do esperado.
O orçamento previa a entrada de 35 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 228 milhões) em negociações de atletas. No entanto, a diretoria conseguiu ultrapassar essa marca com folga. Com a venda de Juninho ao Pumas, o Rubro-Negro chegou a um total aproximado de R$ 545 milhões arrecadados em transferências ao longo do ano.
Apesar de elevar o montante geral, a negociação envolvendo Juninho não será contabilizada no balanço de 2025. O acordo com o Pumas, no valor de 5 milhões de euros (R$ 32,3 milhões), foi fechado de forma parcelada, e os valores só começam a entrar nos cofres rubro-negros em 2026.
Ao todo, seis atletas foram negociados ao longo da temporada. Antes de Juninho, o clube já havia acertado as saídas de Fabrício Bruno, Wesley, Alcaraz, Gerson e Matheus Gonçalves. O Mengão ainda pode receber valores referentes a jogadores emprestados com opção de compra.
Além das vendas definitivas, o clube também obteve receita com o empréstimo de Lorran ao Pisa, da Itália. O acordo rendeu 500 mil euros (R$ 3,1 milhões). A obrigação de compra, prevista para junho de 2026, está fixada em 4 milhões de euros (R$ 26,2 milhões na cotação atual).
A estratégia inicial para 2025 era priorizar as vendas, mesmo com sete contratações realizadas no período. Ainda assim, a arrecadação com saídas superou o valor investido em reforços. Para a próxima temporada, o discurso interno é diferente. Com o caixa fortalecido, o Flamengo promete ser mais agressivo no mercado e abrir os cofres na primeira janela de transferências de 2026.
