Vitão's numbers and record in Flamengo's 2026 season

What are Vitão’s numbers for Flamengo?

Center-back Vitão has been getting plenty of opportunities under Leonardo Jardim’s Flamengo. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings some numbers showing how the defender’s start with the Rubro-Negro has gone.

In these first few months at Flamengo, Vitão has alternated between the starting lineup and the bench. However, looking at the team’s results with the No. 44 on the field, the record is quite favorable.

FLAMENGO’S RECORD WITH AND WITHOUT VITÃOWith Vitão:17 matches8 clean sheets (47%)68.6% win rate Without Vitão 20 matches7 clean sheets (35%)60% win rate *Carioca matches are not included, as Flamengo used an alternate squad.

WHAT IS VITÃO’S CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

During Flamengo’s mid-season training period during the World Cup, Vitão took advantage of the gap left by the center-backs in the squad and established himself in the starting team. It is worth noting that during the international tournament, Léo Pereira and Danilo were representing Brazil, while Léo Ortiz was recovering from a muscle injury.

As a result, the defender played in the friendlies held in Algarve, Portugal, as well as in the match against Olimpia (PAR) in Brasília. After the Brasileirão resumed, the No. 44 also started in the rout against Chapecoense and in the draws with São Paulo (Maracanã) and Internacional (Beira-Rio).

HOW DOES VITÃO SEE THIS START AT FLAMENGO?

During Flamengo’s stay in Portugal, Vitão spoke with Coluna do Fla about his start at the club. In one of his answers, the center-back made it clear that there is nothing like it

— It’s different when you play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, it’s definitely a different kind of pressure, but I’m prepared. My entire career has been under pressure, and I try to deal with it in the best way possible. I try to turn that pressure into something positive, into something good. I’m happy and I hope to repay it in the best way possible — he said, before concluding: — The level of training here is extremely high. I try as much as possible to make the most of every minute playing, with the more experienced players, speaking about my position — Danilo, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira — they are all Brazil internationals. Like I said when I arrived here, I want to learn as much as possible from them, keep improving, so that when I get my opportunities, I can seize them in the best way possible — Vitão concluded, in an interview with Coluna do Fla.

WILL VITÃO BE A STARTER IN FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCHES?

With Flamengo eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, Leonardo Jardim gained another week to train the team. As a result, there is now expectation over whether the manager will keep Vitão in the starting lineup for the team’s next commitments of the season.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Vitão available, Flamengo face Vitória next Sunday (09) in the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the details of the match with on-site coverage on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
