The Brazilian team's friendly against Spain this Tuesday (26), at the Santiago Bernabéu, in Madrid, will have a special meaning for striker Vinicius Júnior, former Flamengo.
The teams will face each other under the motto “One skin”, a campaign against racism in football, of which Vini Jr has been a victim since he arrived in Spanish football to defend Real Madrid.
This Monday (25), on the eve of the clash, the player was moved when asked about the importance of the anti-racist fight in his career .
“In football there are so many players better than me, who have already played here, and I want to help people improve. That in the very near future we can have far fewer cases of racism, and that black people can have a normal life like everyone else. I want to keep fighting for this. If it were up to me, I would have already given up, because staying inside no one will curse me, no one will do anything to me. I go into games with my head focused on the game, but sometimes that's not always possible. I have to concentrate a lot every day…”, said the striker, who cried.
BRAZILIAN SELECTION FACES SPAINA Brazilian National Team led by Dorival Júnior started 2024 on the right foot. This is because "Canarinho" beat England by the score of 1-0 in a FIFA Data friendly match last Saturday (23). Thus, after the victory, the "Amarelinha" squad will carry out their last activity this Monday (25th) in Madrid, where they will face Spain on Tuesday (26th).

Belgian player Kevin De Bruyne, one of Manchester City's main names, made scathing criticisms of the new format of the Club Super World Cup, a competition that will be played in 2025 and will feature the participation of 32 teams, including Brazilians Flamengo, Fluminense and Palmeiras. The tournament, which will have a similar format to the World Cup, did not please the player due to the overload of games and the impact on the athletes' calendar.
In a press conference, De Bruyne expressed his dissatisfaction with the short interval between the end of the Club World Cup and the start of the Premier League season. "The problem will come when the Club World Cup ends. We will only have three weeks between the final and the first round of the Premier League. There are three weeks to take a vacation and prepare to play more than 80 games. Maybe it will work this year, but it will be a problem the following year", warned the player.
The Belgian midfielder's concern extends to the increasing number of matches that athletes need to play in various competitions throughout the season, affecting performance so much regarding the physical well-being of the players.
De Bruyne also criticized FIFA and UEFA for not listening to the concerns of the players and their associations: “The PFA (Professional Players Association) in England and unions in other countries tried to find solutions. The problem is that UEFA and FIFA play more matches, and we tried to say something, but no solution was found. They don't care. It seems that money speaks louder than players", he said.
FIFA has already announced the dates of the Club Super World Cup, which will begin on June 15, 2025 and will conclude on July 13 of the same year. The competition promises to bring together great teams from different continents, providing an unprecedented format with 32 participants.
Brazilian clubs Flamengo, Fluminense and Palmeiras guaranteed a place in the tournament as they were the last champions of the Copa Libertadores da América, with Flamengo winning the title in 2022.

Hemorio's partner team was at the Gávea headquarters, from 10am to 3pm, collecting blood in the playground's party room. Athletes, employees and associates were able to donate and make a difference: each bag of blood can save up to four lives.
In addition to encouraging blood donation, the campaign also sought to raise awareness about the importance of this act of generosity and how it can save lives. “The partnership with Flamengo Social Responsibility is very important. More than attracting donors, this action seeks to awaken civic and social sentiment, ensure greater dissemination and demystify fears. It is an extremely educational and important action for maintaining stocks”, declared Dr. Renata de Almeida, a Hemorio doctor present at the action.
Blood donation is essential for health units to continue serving patients undergoing treatments and surgeries. The only way to guarantee the blood supply is through voluntary donations.
To donate blood, you must have an official identification document with photo, original or certified copy; be between 16 and 69 years old; be fed and in good health; weigh more than 50 kg; not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

My children's father also sells football bets", declared Piovani, referring to Scooby's involvement with this type of advertising. The actress also revealed her concern when she realized that her eldest son, Dom, would be defending the bets, a fact that she regretted.
Visibly irritated, Luana Piovani continued her criticism, pointing out the danger of betting: "This is a disease, an addiction. Have you read any material to find out? Who loses money on bets? Do you think it's the millionaires? It's the salaryman who loses money from the rent, the car payment", emphasized the actress, warning her followers about the risks of this behavior.
< p>In another part of his publications, Piovani shared a report from "Ninja Media" that compared online gambling addiction to a public health epidemic. In the caption, she advised: "Stop following those who sell bets. Gambling ruins people's lives! And those who sell are getting rich, while you are getting poorer." The actress also revealed that she stopped following football player Vinícius Jr. due to his association with betting: "I love Vini Jr., but I stopped following him. I think there is a lack of collective awareness. Pedro Scooby also sells this shit ", he concluded.
