Cebolinha sends message to Filipe Luís about starting spot at Flamengo | OneFootball

Cebolinha has reached four goal involvements for Flamengo in 2026

Flamengo defeated Vitória 2-1 this Tuesday (10), in a match valid for the third round of the Brasileirão. One of the highlights for Mengão in the match was Everton Cebolinha, who recorded a goal and an assist. Thus, the number 11 sends a message to Filipe Luís in the ‘battle’ for a starting spot.

This is because Cebolinha and Samuel Lino are still competing for the starting position on Flamengo’s left wing. Thus, all signs point to the number 11 having taken a ‘step ahead’ in the fight for the spot. After all, the forward now has four goal involvements in 2026, with three goals and one assist.

How did Cebolinha perform in the Flamengo vs Vitória match?

Coach Filipe Luís started Everton Cebolinha in the match between Flamengo and Vitória. In this way, at 15 minutes into the first half, the number 11 assisted Erick Pulgar, who fired a powerful shot from outside the box.

Then, near the end of the first half, after a long ball from Léo Ortiz, Cebolinha controlled the ball inside Vitória’s six-yard box, left the opposing defender on the ground and shot into the right corner of goalkeeper Gabriel. In other words, the number 11 was involved in both of Flamengo’s goals against the team from Bahia.

What is Cebolinha’s situation at Flamengo?

Cebolinha has a contract with Flamengo until December 2026. Not by chance, coach Filipe Luís has already revealed that he wants Rubro-Negro to renew the contract with the number 11. That’s because, starting in June, the forward can sign a pre-contract with another team without generating any profit for Fla.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Cebolinha available, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (15) to face Botafogo. The state derby will take place at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the quarterfinals of the Carioca.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Botafogo, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
