Market17 Aug 2026

Joaquín Freitas turns Dinamo Tbilisi down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Flamengo

Diego Reyes and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Camargo out for 15 days

The medical room confirms 15 days on the sidelines for Camargo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Vitão

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Giorgian De Arrascaeta gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Giorgian De Arrascaeta is on it.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Wesley Oliveira: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Looking ahead17 Aug 2026

A test against the best for Flamengo

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Cruzeiro.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The form table has caught Everton Cebolinha

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Market17 Aug 2026

The Pedro talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Flamengo know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Nobody could get near Samuel Lino

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Vintage Danilo — 7.85

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.85, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market10 Aug 2026

Flamengo turn down Haras El Hodoud for Joaquín Freitas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Giorgian De Arrascaeta stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Flamengo agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match8 Aug 2026

Flamengo make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Flamengo have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Flamengo

Jorginho was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match4 Aug 2026

Flamengo find a way past Palmeiras

Palmeiras made Flamengo work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Wesley Santos joins the Flamengo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Wesley Santos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Fábio Neves steps up from the Flamengo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fábio Neves has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match1 Aug 2026

Luiz Araújo leads the rout of Sport Recife

3‑0, and Luiz Araújo took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Flamengo tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market3 Aug 2026

Flamengo turn down Pacos de Ferreira for Wallace Yan

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Pedro signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pedro commits to Flamengo for another 4 years.

Market3 Aug 2026

Jorginho raises the bar for Flamengo

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Flamengo heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jorginho in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Flamengo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

One of those days for Pedro

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.50, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Samuel Lino was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.33. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Luiz Araújo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.31. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Danilo stands down from international duty

“75 caps is more than I ever expected, and it is time somebody else had them.” At 35 he is finished with his country and nowhere near finished with Flamengo.
