Flamengo fans took to social media to repudiate Gabigol's act of wearing the Corinthians shirt. Raça Rubro-Negra, one of the main organized supporters of the Rio team, posted an official note, stating that "the image of Gabriel lifting trophies now mixes with the bitter reality of his ingratitude".
"The image of Gabriel lifting trophies in our memory now mixes with the bitter reality of his ingratitude. And this pain, this disappointment, are the feelings that remain, as we try to find solace in the memories of a time when he was our hero" , says an excerpt from the note.
During the period in which Gabigol was sidelined due to an attempt to defraud an anti-doping test, Flamengo fans supported the player. Later, when he returned, red and black fans went to Maracanã to honor the return of the former number 10. The feeling is of disappointment on the part of the flamengo fans.
"Gratitude. A simple word, but with immense weight. In the dictionary, it means recognizing a benefit or showing gratitude for something good that someone has done. But in real life, especially in the world of football, gratitude takes on much deeper and more emotional forms. feeling for millions of red-black people.
Gabriel not only donned the sacred mantle; he freed an entire nation from a 38-year fast. Twice, he made red-black hearts explode with joy, filling each. corner of the IMMENSE RUBRO-BLACK NATION with screams of euphoria and tears of happiness. Thus, he became one of the immortal heroes of the red-black pantheon.
However, life, like football, is full of unexpected twists. In what was perhaps the darkest moment of their career, the red-and-black nation did not waver. On the contrary, he extended his arms and welcomed him, offering unconditional support. It was our way of paying back his gratitude for everything he had done. But now, we face a painful blow. Gabriel, the one who was once our savior, seems to have chosen a path of ingratitude.
More than a simple way out, Gabigol's possible farewell is filled with deep sadness. It is a goodbye that carries not only a lack of gratitude, but a painful lack of respect. Respect for the sacred mantle he wore, for the red-black people who idolized him. We didn't expect eternal love, because we are realists. But the way everything is unfolding is a blow too hard to bear.
And so, a story that had everything to be closed with a flourish, crumbles into ashes. There will be no glorious ending, an emotional farewell. Just the shadow of an exit through the back door, silent and unlit. The truths or lies surrounding this story become irrelevant in the face of the immense lack of respect. For us, who live and breathe Flamengo, it is a wound that will remain open for a long time. The image of Gabriel lifting trophies in our memory now mixes with the bitter reality of his ingratitude. And this pain, this disappointment, are the feelings that remain, as we try to find solace in the memories of a time when he was our hero."
During the FIFA Date, the biggest concern on the part of the Nation is that Mengão athletes return without injuries after playing for their countries.

For Flamengo fans, when it comes to the Brazilian National Team there is a constant concern whenever a Flamengo player is called up , the fear of a possible injury grows . This time, the situation fell on Samuel Lino, who suffered a tackle during Brazil's training session this Tuesday (2).

Despite the concern, the CBF did not report any physical problems with Samuel Lino . Thus, the striker remains available to Carlo Ancelotti for the match this Thursday (4), when Brazil faces Chile, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

It's official! Lorran, an attacking midfielder who came through Flamengo's youth system, was presented this Wednesday (3) as a new player for Pisa Sporting Club , in Italy. The "Garoto do Ninho" was loaned for 500 thousand euros (around R$ 3.1 million), in a contract that includes the obligation to purchase 50% of the athlete's rights for 4 million euros (approximately R$ 25 million).
However, the clause will only be activated if Lorran plays at least 50% of the season's games and Pisa remains in the Italian top flight. If these conditions are met, Flamengo will retain 50% of the player's economic rights , aiming to profit from a future transfer.
"Hello, I'm Lorran ! I'm very happy to be here. I hope to see you soon at the stadium . Let's go!" the athlete declared in a video released by the Italian club on its Instagram page. The midfielder emerged as one of the great prospects of Mengão's youth academy, having impressed during the beginning of his professional career, but his performance declined and he lost ground under Tite and has not been able to recover under Filipe Luís.

Without Lorran, Mengão returns to action on September 14th against Juventude at 4 pm (Brasília time) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
