📋 Neymar v Arrascaeta? Santos and Flamengo reveal official line-ups
Santos and Flamengo face off this Wednesday (16th) at 8 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, for the 14th round of the Brasileirão 2025. While the Rubro-Negro leads the championship with 27 points, the Peixe - with 11 points and in 16th place on the table - fights to stay out of the relegation zone. The match marks Santos' return to the Brasileirão after more than a month, due to the pause for the Club World Cup and because last weekend's derby against Palmeiras was postponed by the CBF. Thus, coach Cléber Xavier decided to field the same team that started the friendly against Desportiva Ferroviária, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Peixe, featuring a goal and an assist from Neymar. As for Flamengo, coming off a 2-0 victory over São Paulo, coach Filipe Luís chose to place Danilo and Varela in the positions of Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro, respectively.📋 Check out Santos' lineup 📋 Check out Flamengo's lineup This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📹 Filipe Luís slams Pedro: ridiculous, it was almost pathetic
Flamengo beat São Paulo 2-0, at the Maracanã, this Saturday (12), and remained isolated at the top of the 2025 Brazilian Championship. But the atmosphere is not good at all around the Urubu's Nest. Advertisement In the press conference after the victory, coach Filipe Luís spoke about leaving Pedro out of the squad for the match against Tricolor Paulista. Normally very calm, the red-black coach raised his tone, spoke of "lack of respect" and that the center-forward had an attitude that "bordered on lamentable". "What happened is that Pedro's attitude this week bordered on the lamentable. It was ridiculous. It's not new that he's been training badly, but this week he broke the principle of training culture. What he did was a lack of respect. This kind of behavior can be contagious and that's why he was left out of the squad. I hope he apologizes to his teammates". Furthermore, Filipe Luís stated that Pedro has been training poorly and is the last in all the data pointed out by the GPS. Advertisement "My eye tells me, but we have GPS data that says Pedro is last in absolutely everything this week. A player who is last in all physical skills, which is intensity, acceleration, and deceleration, cannot perform. They can blame the coach, Arrascaeta, but the blame is his". 😳 What happened? Last Wednesday (9), Pedro alleged "heavy legs" and did not finish the training session. His teammates did not like the attitude and went to complain to Filipe Luís and the Flamengo management. The center-forward defended himself, claiming he was not feeling well and preferred to preserve himself. Advertisement Thursday's (10) training session was normal, but Pedro was informed on Friday (11) that he was cut from the collective activity and would not go to the game against São Paulo. Out of the substitutes' bench, Pedro went to the Maracanã to watch the match at the stadium. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Kompany disciple, anti-Simeone: Club World Cup's top coach
When FC Bayern faces Flamengo on Sunday evening in the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup, it's not just a clash between two big names in world football. It's also the story of a coach who once played at the very highest level himself and now wants to challenge the giants from Munich with his team: Filipe Luís. Advertisement The 38-year-old Brazilian has become the coach of perhaps the most famous club in South America, far from the European football spotlight, and is also a great admirer of the German record champions. 'They are a European colossus,' gushed Luís at the press conference in Miami about Bayern. 'A club that inspires us and gives us ideas to copy.' Those are, without a doubt, big words. But they come from the mouth of a highly talented tactician who has already celebrated remarkable successes with Flamengo. From Fighter to Tactical Thinker As a player, Filipe Luís was best known for his time at Atlético Madrid, where he developed into one of the best left-backs in Europe under Diego Simeone. But as a coach, Luís is forging his own path – and it's clearly different from that of his mentor! Advertisement While Simeone stands for iron discipline, compactness, and defensive stability, Filipe Luís is much more a proponent of bold, possession-oriented football. Under his leadership, Flamengo is attack-minded, strong in combination play, and relies on dominance with the ball: with 60.6 percent possession, no team in the Brazilian Serie A has a higher share of the ball. 📸 David Ramos - 2016 Getty Images He already attracted attention in youth football with titles and attractive performances. With the U17s, he won the Copa Rio, and with the U20s, even the Intercontinental Cup against Olympiakos Piraeus. By then, it was clear: this man is destined for greater things. And he would get his chance soon enough. A Meteoric Rise on the Sidelines Filipe Luís needed only nine games to write himself into Flamengo's history books. In the final of the Copa do Brasil, his team triumphed over Atlético Mineiro. In the league, after a shaky start to the season under his predecessor Tite, he still managed to lead the team to third place. Advertisement Particularly impressive: Luís lost only one of his first 26 games as head coach – the derby against Fluminense. An average of 2.42 points per game is outstanding, even by Brazilian standards. Unlike Simeone, who often wears down his opponents with disciplined defensive football, Luís relies on controlled build-up play, technical superiority, and targeted pressing phases. He wants to have the ball – and, above all, control the game. This has earned him respect in his own country, but also attention from Europe. Should Atlético ever no longer be able to rely on Simeone's services, it is anything but unthinkable that Luís could one day succeed his former coach. And Now: FC Bayern Currently, the left-footer is presenting himself as a coach to a large international audience for the first time. In the new Club World Cup format, the first matches were against Chelsea, LAFC, and Esperánce Tunis – and now against FC Bayern. Advertisement Luís knows the roles are clearly defined: 'They are the favorites.' Still, he makes it clear: 'Anything can happen in a single game.' It's hardly surprising that he is an avowed fan of Vincent Kompany. Both stand for modern, bold football, shaped by a clear playing philosophy. It's no coincidence that the Brazilian praised his coaching colleague for doing an 'excellent' job ahead of their direct encounter. Kompany is a role model for many up-and-coming coaching talents. For all the praise: Filipe Luís has what it takes to soon be not just an admirer, but a real competitor on the European stage. But for now, it's showtime: Flamengo versus Bayern and a coaching duel that we're unlikely to see for the last time. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Flamengo vs Bayern Munich prediction, odds and betting offer
Bayern Munich will be looking to progress through to the quarter-finals but face a Flamengo side who have been impressive in the group stages Bayern Munich face a Flamengo looking to surprise a few as they look to continue their fine form on the Club World Cup stage but the Bundesliga side will be fresh with their manager rotating the squad last time out. Vincent Kompany made sweeping changes to his Bayern Munich line-up, leading to their slip from the top of Group C following a defeat to Benfica on Tuesday. The match was a tale of two halves, not helped by the scorching afternoon sun in North Carolina. Despite the loss, Bayern could have fared better if not for the outstanding performance of Benfica's goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, who thwarted several attempts in the second half. After halftime substitutions saw Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, and Jonathan Tah take to the field, they showcased why Bayern is still considered one of the tournament favourites. These players are expected to be pivotal in their upcoming clash with Flamengo. Jamal Musiala, who sustained a minor injury in their victory over Boca Juniors, might also feature at Hard Rock Stadium as Bayern aims for a quarter-final berth against either Paris Saint-Germain or Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. Flamengo has been equally impressive during the group stage, securing top position in Group D with victories over Esperance and Chelsea before drawing with LAFC. They arrived at the finals on a high note, leading the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A after 11 matches. Under the guidance of Filipe Luís—a coach with a wealth of experience from his title-winning days at Atlético Madrid, Chelsea, and now Flamengo—they are well-prepared for the knockout stages. Filipe Luís also took advantage of their position by resting key players against LAFC, ensuring his squad remains fresh for the challenges ahead.
