What did Abel Ferreira say about Flamengo’s signings?


Palmeiras signed Marlon Freitas, formerly of Botafogo, during this transfer window. For this reason, Abel Ferreira answered a question about the style of reinforcements for the São Paulo team for the 2026 season, comparing them to Flamengo and Cruzeiro.

— Palmeiras doesn’t have just one profile; Palmeiras has a philosophy, which is quite different from teams like Cruzeiro and Flamengo. We compete with the same objective, but with completely different philosophies, he said.

Has Flamengo signed any players this season?

Currently, Flamengo has already signed two players in this transfer window: Vitão and Andrew. The athletes have already reported to Mais Querido and are available to coach Filipe Luís for the preseason with the red and black squad.

Vitão and Andrew, however, are not expected to participate in Flamengo’s next match. That’s because Mais Querido is using the under-20 team in the first matches of the Campeonato Carioca. Therefore, the tendency is that the athletes will get minutes in the Brasileirão.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will take the field against Volta Redonda on Saturday (17th), for the second round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira.
