Flamengo fans may be witnessing the best version of Samuel Lino. That’s because, on Saturday (30), the No. 16 was involved in all three of Flamengo’s goals against Coritiba. As a result, the winger is closing in on the best statistical season of his career.
In the 2021/22 season, playing for Gil Vicente (POR), Lino scored 14 goals and provided five assists in 38 matches. So far, the forward has found the net six times and set up teammates on nine occasions in 32 games.
See the chart:

Betano, the Brasileirão sponsor, named the No. 16 man of the match against Coritiba. After all, the forward provided one assist and scored two goals in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. With that, Mengo reached 34 points.
Needing five more goal contributions to match his best season, Samuel Lino has been at Flamengo for 11 months, having arrived in July 2025. O Mais Querido paid 22 million euros (R$ 141 million) to Atlético de Madrid (ESP) to sign the player through 2029.
So, Flamengo will take a break from official competitions during the World Cup. However, the rubro-negro squad will travel to Portugal for a mid-season training camp, with three friendlies scheduled for July.
