Jogadores do Flamengo comemoram gol no Maracanã (Gilvan de Souza/CRF)
Craque Neto, apesar da margem para reviravoltas, vê o Flamengo ocupando o posto de virtual campeão do Brasileirão em 2025. Levando em conta a atual pontuação do Rubro-Negro, o ex-jogador avalia que, apenas vencendo os compromissos no Maracanã, a equipe de Filipe Luís vai desbancar Palmeiras e Cruzeiro. Neste cenário, além da Série A, o clube carioca é visto como favorito para conquistar o troféu da Libertadores.
“Brasileiro, esquece. Não perde mais. Com 43 pontos… não perde o título! Faltam 19 jogos e nove jogos em casa. São 27 pontos. Se ganha todos, quanto que dá com 43? Isso sem contar os jogos que faz fora. Acabou o campeonato! O Flamengo já é campeão. Essa é a minha ideia.”, disse o Craque Neto, no programa “Os Donos da Bola”.
“O Flamengo, na Libertadores, que joga contra o Internacional, dificilmente não chega na final. Ninguém ganha o Campeonato Brasileiro do Flamengo. Vai terminar com sete ou oito pontos na frente do Palmeiras e do Cruzeiro.”, prosseguiu.
Craque Neto exalta trabalho de Filipe Luís
Mantendo um padrão bastante ofensivo, Filipe Luís também vem ajustando os erros defensivos do Flamengo. Segundo o Craque Neto, o comandante do Rubro-Negro tem o potencial de virar uma das referências do futebol mundial e colocar os treinadores brasileiros em evidência fora do Brasil.
“Para mim, é o melhor time e o melhor elenco do futebol brasileiro. Joga o melhor futebol. Olha o saldo de gols do Flamengo: 27! O Flamengo é uma potência, é um absurdo o que vem jogando. É um time que sofre poucos gols.”, afirmou Souza. “Sabe quantos jogos o Flamengo perdeu no Maracanã? Nenhum. Sabe quantos gols tomou? Dois. Não é só o ataque do Flamengo. O Filipe Luís, hoje, é um dos grandes treinadores do futebol brasileiro e vai ser do futebol mundial.”, acrescentou o Craque Neto.
Rebaixamento no Brasileirão
Em relação ao Z-4, houve uma sinalização de que três vagas estão em aberto. Na visão do Craque Neto, o Sport está rebaixado de maneira antecipada e, até o 11º lugar, atualmente com o Atlético-MG, todos os clubes do grupo em questão correm risco de jogar a Série B em 2025.
“Para mim, o Sport já caiu. O Fortaleza é candidatíssimo para cair também. Até o Internacional e o Atlético-MG, com 24 pontos, todos eles correm risco. O Grêmio foi para 23 pontos e passou o Corinthians. É um time que está jogando mal, mas ganhou de 3 a 1 do Atlético-MG. É um resultado que ninguém esperava.”, opinou o Craque Neto, no “Apito Final”.

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has a name and date in mind for his next fight. Volkanovski called out Lerone Murphy after his highlight reel knockout of Aaron Pico at UFC 319. If Volkanovski has his way, the fight will take place this year.Murphy substantially elevated his stock on Saturday. The featherweight contender stopped Pico with a wild spinning back elbow in UFC 319's co-main event.

Steelers’ Cameron Heyward returns to practice after hold-in, remains in search of new contract
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward returned to practice Tuesday, ending a hold-in that spanned nearly two weeks amid his contract negotiations. But according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor, his participation does not signal any steps toward a new deal nor his acceptance of playing on his present contract.Reporters watched Heyward participate in individual practice periods, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after the session that the star lineman also participated in team drills.Heyward has two years remaining on the contract he signed last summer, which also came after he sat out of practice, and he is set to make $14.75 million this year and $14.5 million in 2026. A flurry of high-profile signings this offseason reset the defensive line market, though, and Heyward is already in search of an amended deal to reflect his value in the new landscape. Cam […]
