Flamengo has not yet entered the field in the Brazilian Championship round, but ended up being mentioned in a controversy involving Fluminense . Last Saturday (10), Tricolor das Laranjeiras lost to Vasco 2-0, with a controversial goal from Veggetti.
CRITICISM OF THE ARBITRATION
During the post-game press conference, the president of Fluminense, Mário Bittencourt, harshly criticized the performance of referee Daronco. The agent questioned the validity of Vasco's first goal, claiming that the ball had touched the center forward's hand before being completed.
Bittencourt expressed dissatisfaction with the level of refereeing in Brazilian football, remembering that Flamengo had also been harmed in a recent match against Palmeiras.
“My coming here today was not specifically for the mistake, but rather for the lack of quality and capacity, which we see every day in Brazilian football. (…) During the week, there was a mistake against Flamengo and so on”, highlighted Bittencourt.
COMPAINTS AND FUTURE ACTIONS< /p>
The president of Fluminense also pointed out that, after the game, both Flamengo and Palmeiras filed complaints about the arbitration, without there being effective consequences. “It’s not possible for two clubs like Flamengo and Palmeiras to complain about the refereeing and nothing happens. Today there is another club complaining about the same arbitration”, commented Bittencourt.

Flamengo invested heavily in this transfer window , bringing in four key reinforcements: Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, Carrascal, and Saúl. These signings attracted attention in the transfer market, and one of those who spoke out was Ronaldo Fenômeno , a World Cup winner with the Brazilian national team. In an interview with Betfair, the former striker particularly highlighted Samuel Lino and Emerson Royal.
Ronaldo Fenômeno on Flamengo's signings: "a reflection of good management"
"Lino's signing shows that Flamengo is in good financial health, reflecting good management and sales that have a positive impact on the club. He's young and could have gone to several European clubs after leaving Atlético Madrid, but he chose to sign with Flamengo . He'll bring international experience and will make a big difference in the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão," he said.
Regarding Emerson Royal, Ronaldo also praised him and projected benefits for the full-back compared to the national team. " He's another player who could have stayed in Europe, but chose to play in Brazil . This could be very good, since he played in the last Copa América and could be closer to Ancelotti's attention in a very important position for Brazil, which is right-back," he added.
The hype surrounding the Flamengo's number 16 soon proved justified. In the 8-0 rout of Vitória in the Brazilian Championship, Samuel Lino was one of the night's standout performers . The forward scored two goals and provided three assists, quickly demonstrating the impact he can have on Filipe Luís's squad.
Unlike Lino, Emerson Royal did not enter the field at Maracanã last Monday (25). The right-back remained on the bench, following the safe performance of Varela , who assisted one of Samuel Lino's goals.
Even though he hasn't entered the field in the last few matches, the defender is seen internally as an important player for the rest of the season , especially due to the busy schedule with commitments in the Brasileirão, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil.
The full-back suffered a muscle injury in his left calf and the organization already knows whether or not he will be able to count on the Mengão player at the FIFA Date.

The Brazilian National Team announced, this Wednesday (27), the cut of Alex Sandro, from Flamengo , for the next commitments of the Fifa Date. The left-back suffered a muscle injury in the left calf during the rout over Vitória , last Monday (25), and will not be able to play.
In an official statement, the CBF confirmed the player's withdrawal and announced that there will be no replacement for the position . Carlo Ancelotti's list already included Douglas Santos (Zenit) and Caio Henrique (Monaco) as options for the left-back position.
In the same statement, the CBF announced the call-up of Jean Lucas, a Flamengo talent who currently plays for Bahia. The midfielder replaces Newcastle's Joelinton , who suffered an injury in his last Premier League match.
Therefore, Jean Lucas will be available to Carlo Ancelotti in the National Team's last two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers: against Chile (September 4, at Maracanã) and against Bolivia (September 9, in El Alto).
Signed in August 2024, Alex Sandro performed well for Flamengo, but was unable to escape a series of physical problems . The injury against Vitória was his seventh since joining the club, all of them muscular.
The full-back has already missed 17 matches and has spent 95 days recovering in the medical department. He is also expected to be unavailable next Sunday (31), against Grêmio, in the Brasileirão. Flamengo is working to recover the defender with the decisive duels against Estudiantes in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, on September 18 and 25.
Mengão still intends to get rid of three athletes by the beginning of September, when the signing period closes around the world.

After the negotiation of Matheus Gonçalves with Al-Ahli , from Saudi Arabia, Flamengo must promote new changes in its squad in this transfer window. According to journalist Joanna de Assis, from SporTV, at least four other players are close to leaving Gávea . The information was revealed on the program Tá On, this Wednesday (27).
The names most likely to leave are Victor Hugo, Lorran , Juninho, and Michael, all of whom have no place in Filipe Luís's squad. Victor Hugo has received inquiries from Santos, but talks have not progressed in recent weeks. Lorran is very close to being traded to Pisa, a club in Italy's Serie B.
The Middle East also appears to be a likely market for some of the club's players. Qarabag, from Azerbaijan, has already initiated contacts to try to sign Juninho . Meanwhile, Michael continues to be a recurring target for Arab clubs, where he rose to prominence while playing for Al-Hilal, in Saudi Arabia.
Flamengo has completed the sale of Matheus Gonçalves to Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli for €8 million (R$50 million). The midfielder had been playing for the U-20 team after losing his place under coach Filipe Luís and was a starter in the U-20 team's Intercontinental Cup triumph.
This wasn't the first offer Flamengo had received for the player, but it was the most advantageous. Before Al-Ahli, Cruzeiro and CSKA Moscow (Russia) had shown interest and made official offers for the player.
