Market

Santa Clara come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Flamengo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Léo Ortiz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Léo Ortiz, and the manager let it.

Match

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.

Market

One of our own: Bruno Peixoto joins the Flamengo first team

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

Market

Mateus Alves steps up from the Flamengo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mateus Alves 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.

Market

Vitor Moreira steps up from the Flamengo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vitor Moreira 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.

Player ratings

Léo Pereira in the eights

A performance of 8.12 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

In brief

  • Looking ahead The neighbours are next for Flamengo
  • Player ratings Danilo stands above it all
  • The dugout Samuel Lino asks for a word with the manager

Player ratings

Vintage Jorginho — 8.05

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.05, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market

Flamengo turn down Tondela for Evertton Araújo

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

Squad

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.

Market

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.

Squad

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.

Match

Flamengo get the job done against Sport Recife

A 1‑0 win over Sport Recife, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

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.

Squad

Joaquín Freitas falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

José Fernandes has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” José Fernandes on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
