Match19 May 2029

No end in sight to Flamengo's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Flamengo has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad21 May 2029

Saúl 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.

Match19 May 2029

Bragantino take the points off Flamengo

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Loan watch21 May 2029

Da Mata counts the days

“I watch every Flamengo game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Capital runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout21 May 2029

Samuel Porto faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Samuel Porto after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad21 May 2029

Vitão has had enough of the noise

The ambition story running backwards, and the one nobody tells: a footballer who wants a smaller ground, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is rarely reported as anything else.

Player ratings21 May 2029

Vitão gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Flamengo lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

The dugout21 May 2029

Vitão knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Vitão trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market21 May 2029

Andrew told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Andrew has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Flamengo.

Matheus Cunha scores twice — 8.29

Two goals and a mark of 8.29 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad27 Nov 2028

Matheus Cunha is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.26 with 23 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market27 Nov 2028

Luiz Gustavo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Flamengo they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match25 Nov 2028

Matheus Cunha sends Flamengo past Avaí

It finished 3‑1, and it was Matheus Cunha’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Flamengo.

The terraces27 Nov 2028

Flamengo supporters have found a favourite in Lorran

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Lorran has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings27 Nov 2028

Luis Suárez in the eights

A performance of 8.29 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Loan watch27 Nov 2028

Gabriel Werneck’s loan is measured in nothing happening

10 clean sheets from 29 appearances at Capital. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.

The dugout27 Nov 2028

The manager makes an example of Luiz Araújo

“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.

Squad27 Nov 2028

A falling-out at Flamengo

Igor Lima and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market21 Aug 2028

Carlos Vinícius says no to Alverca

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Carlos Vinícius had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Match19 Aug 2028

Flamengo come up short against Bragantino

Bragantino left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad21 Aug 2028

The decline has begun for Danilo

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 37 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Flamengo is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

Carlos Vinícius gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Samuel Porto left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Words exchanged at Flamengo

Igor Lima 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.

Match15 Aug 2028

Flamengo and Cruzeiro take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout21 Aug 2028

The form table has caught Giorgian De Arrascaeta

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.

Player ratings21 Aug 2028

Luis Suárez was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
