O Flamengo relacionou seus três últimos reforços para enfrentar o Atlético-MG nesta quinta-feira, às 21h30, no Maracanã, pelo jogo de ida das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil. O atacante Samuel Lino, anunciado ontem, o meia Saúl e o lateral-direito Emerson Royal, oficializados no fim de semana, estão à disposição de Filipe Luís, e ficam no banco de reservas.

O rubro-negro fez mistério para divulgar os relacionados para o jogo de mata-mata, revelando a lista apenas quando o elenco chegou ao estádio. A surpresa é que o trio de novos pode estrear, diante da torcida.

A escalação do Flamengo virá com poucas novidades em relação à que derrotou o próprio Atlético-MG, no último domingo, pelo Brasileirão. Os meias Jorginho e Arrascaeta e o atacante Bruno Henrique dão lugar a Evertton Araújo, Matheus Gonçalves e Luiz Araújo.

Escalação: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira e Viña; Evertton Araújo, Allan e Matheus Gonçalves; Luiz Araújo, Plata e Pedro. Técnico: Filipe Luís.

Além disso, o Flamengo estreará seu novo terceiro uniforme, lançado nesta quinta-feira. A blusa em tons off-white traz o escudo do remo em cor dourada. O calção e os meiões também são da mesma cor da camisa.

Estreando no fogo

Royal chega com o peso de substituir o “cria” do Ninho Wesley, que saiu em alta com a torcida. Com 26 anos, o defensor foi revelado pela Ponte Preta antes de passar pelo Atlético-MG e ir para o Real Betis (Espanha), em 2018. Além do Milan, ele defendeu as camisas do Barcelona — apenas três jogos — e, principalmente, do Tottenham. Foi em sua passagem no futebol inglês que mais foi convocado pelo Brasil — a última vez em 2023.

O rubro-negro pagará nove milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 58 milhões) no total, pelo atleta, após atravessar uma negociação dos italianos com o Besiktas (Turquia).

A rodagem de Emerson dá o tom do jogador que o elenco do Flamengo recebe, e que será concorrente de Guillermo Varela no setor. Nos últimos anos, o torcedor se acostumou a ver Wesley nesta disputa com o uruguaio, com o jovem se destacando pelas características agudas pelo corredor direito, e que também o levaram à seleção.

O novo reforço não foge tanto do estilo de jogo do antecessor, mas apresenta diferenças em campo e promete oferecer mais segurança defensiva e valências físicas. A temporada passada de Emerson Royal, sua única pelo Milan, acabou não engrenando por conta de uma lesão na panturrilha direita. Por isso, não atua em uma partida oficial desde janeiro, e fez apenas 26 jogos em 2024/25, sem participar de gols.

Destaque espanhol

Primeiro reforço do Flamengo nesta janela de transferências, Saúl Ñíguez foi apresentado nesta sexta-feira no Ninho do Urubu. O meia espanhol pertencia ao Atlético de Madrid e rescindiu contrato para assinar até o final de 2028 e atuar pela primeira vez no futebol brasileiro.

Novo camisa 8 do rubro-negro, o jogador de 30 anos destacou que a escolha para se transferir para o rubro-negro foi fácil:

— É uma mudança muito grande, mas quero me adaptar o mais rápido possível ao campeonato (Brasileirão), ao time, ao vestiário, ao Rio de Janeiro. Quero aprender português o quanto antes for possível. É mudanças para mim e, sobretudo, para minha família —afirmou. — Quando o Flamengo te chama, é preciso dizer “sim”, um clube gigante. Foi uma decisão relativamente fácil e muito pensada com minha família.

Ex-companheiro do meia no Atlético de Madrid, Filipe Luís teve um papel importante na contração. Saúl exaltou o treinador, e disse querer ajudar com suas ideias.

— É uma situação rara (ter um ex-companheiro como treinador). Tinha uma relação muito boa com o Filipe, dentro e fora de campo (no Atlético). Estava sempre sentado ao meu lado. Quando jogador, ele já era treinador. Tem ideias muito claras e vontade de ganhar, muito similar a quando atuava. Temos ideias claras, nós dois. Ter uma personalidade como ele vai ajudar muito — comentou.

Sem atuar desde maio, quando estava emprestado ao Sevilla, Saúl irá passar por uma espécie de pré-temporada no Ninho do Urubu. O reforço rubro-negro também comentou sobre seu melhor encaixe em campo, mas sem indicar posição favorita.

— A posição que fui considerado melhor é pelo centro, meio-campo ofensivo, mas posso jogar em várias posições. Às vezes, será favorável a mim, e outras à equipe. Sempre priorizo o time antes do individual — garantiu.

‘Chama o Samu’

Contratação mais recente, apresentado nesta terça-feira, Samuel Lino foi adquirido junto ao Atlético de Madrid por 22 milhões de euros fixos (cerca de R$ 143,6 milhões), mais dois milhões (R$ 13 milhões) em bônus, tornando o atacante de 25 anos o jogador mais caro da história do clube.

Com passagens por Flamengo e Santos nas categorias de base — foi campeão da Copinha de 2018 com o rubro-negro —, Samuel Lino foi revelado pelo São Bernardo-SP, mas se destacou no futebol europeu com as camisas de Gil Vicente (Portugal) e Valencia, antes de ir ao Atlético de Madrid.

Na última temporada, o brasileiro participou de 47 jogos, marcou quatro gols e deu oito assistências, sendo uma peça importante na rotação ofensiva de Diego Simeone. Em 2023/24, ele foi eleito o melhor jogador dos colchoneros.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most dominant team of the decade, and the numbers prove it

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are like the rock stars of Major League Baseball (MLB), two teams with a history so big it's hard to top. Since moving from Brooklyn to LA in 1958, the Dodgers have been a force to reckon with, and now in 2025, they're gearing up for their 23rd World Series (26th pennants)-trailing only the Yankees' whopping 41 appearances, according to MLB.com. That's a pretty cool stat, showing they've been in the game for the long haul, racking up eight World Series wins, with their first coming back in 1955 as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Tonight, they're bringing that old-school vibe into a modern era, hitting their fifth World Series in the last nine years-all during the Wild Card era that kicked off in 1994, per ESPN.

4 Takeaways From the Dodgers’ NLCS Game 4 Win Over the Brewers

Another dominant pitching performance – and a three home run game – by the same superstar no less. That's certainly a way to earn a World Series berth. Behind a Shohei Ohtani performance for the ages, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday with a 5-1 win in Game 4 and are headed back to the World Series. Here are my takeaways:1. Oh My, Ohtani!A year ago, he became the first Major League Baseball player ever to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season. This year, he became the first player ever to hit 50 homers and record 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in a single season. With Shohei Ohtani, history is never far away. Friday night was no exception, as baseball’s unicorn illustrated what is quite possibly the most extraordinary single-game performance of […]

A 95-mph sinker from Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo struck George Springer on his knee in the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 defeat in Game 5 of the ALCS on Friday. Springer suffered a right-knee contusion, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, though Schneider noted that the four-time All-Star's X-rays were negative."George is about as tough as they come," Schneider said.
