Flamengo was runner-up in the Supercopa do Brasil and Recopa Sudamericana


The start of the season for Flamengo is far from what the red-black fans expected. Besides being runners-up in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana, Mengão has five losses in 11 games. No wonder, the Torcida Jovem do Fla sent a message demanding the team, Filipe Luís, and director José Boto.

The Torcida Jovem do Flamengo, on behalf of all who love and respect the club, hereby expresses its dissatisfaction and discontent with the current situation of the team. The same fans who support are the same fans who demand. 2025 has already passed and we will not tolerate players leaning on the past, we will not tolerate players behaving with the club. It is unacceptable for a "professional" who earns in a month what many fans will not earn in their entire life, to be unaware of the club's moment and continue thinking they are at Disney. We are the ones who love the club. You are driven by money. We are the ones who risk our lives for Flamengo, we are the ones who spend days on the road hungry and cold! We do this for our love of the club, do not think we owe you anything. Good or bad results are part of football. What we will never tolerate is a weak team, a bunch of millionaires who don't fight for the ball. The least you should have is respect for the fan who sometimes skips paying a bill to support their beloved club. To coach Felipe Luís, a message: do not try to change the essence of the club, do not try to make Flamengo a European club. It is not possible that all these years at the club were not enough for you to learn what Flamengo is, to learn that the fan is sovereign and that, regardless of being organized or not, regardless of going to the stadium or not, they must be respected. You disrespect the fan who, in their right, criticizes on social media, only proving your arrogance and presumption. The fan is not as dumb as you might imagine, they can see that you now treat the club as a laboratory, that there are players who, even without performing, remain your favorites. To the management, a warning: If Mr. José Boto thinks so much about Europe, he should pack his bags and take the first flight out of Rio de Janeiro. The message is given.

Did Flamengo's fans demand from the Flamengo squad?

Yes! Last Saturday (28), during the party of midfielder Evertton Araújo, the president and members of the Torcida Jovem do Flamengo sought to talk to the players. Among the main targets of the fans were Plata and Carrascal. Unsuccessful in the 'negotiation', the fans made it clear they will continue to keep a close watch on the players.

What are Flamengo's numbers in 2026?

The main squad of Flamengo played 11 games in the 2026 season. Thus, the Rubro-Negro has five wins, five losses, and one draw, with a 48.5% success rate. Additionally, Mengão was defeated in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana.

Thus, Flamengo has only one more chance to win a title in the first half of 2026: the Carioca. The Rubro-Negro won the first leg of the semifinal 3-0 against Madureira, and is on track for the grand final.

What is Flamengo's next game?

After another runner-up finish in 2026, Flamengo tries to 'turn the page' and refocus on the Campeonato Carioca. Filipe Luís's team will take the field on Monday (02) to face Madureira at 9 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the second leg of the State Championship semifinal.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Madureira, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
