The soap opera seems to be reaching its final chapters

0The renewal has not yet been defined, but the quick meeting between Flamengo and Bruno Henrique's representatives brought optimism to both parties. Dénis Ricardo and his partner Wellington Paulo had a meeting of around 30 minutes with Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel before the game against Cruzeiro.
The main advance was in the issue of contract time. Flamengo already admits offering a three-year contract, the period desired by Bruno and his staff. In this sense, according to information from journalist Venêcasagrande, Dénis Ricardo is on his way to Rio de Janeiro to talk this time in person with the attacker.
It seems that the announcement of the renewal of the contract is just a matter of time and could occur as early as this Friday. However, Bruno Henrique has other interesting offers, and strong harassment from Palmeiras, who signaled the possibility of a four-year contract and more gloves.
It is worth remembering, that even under harassment, the interest of the Staff and the player is the continuation of the Rio de Janeiro club, where he has played for 5 seasons. Bruno Henrique is an idol of the fans and has never expressed a desire to leave Flamengo to play for another club, especially in Brazil.
To say the yes that the red and black fans are waiting for, Bruno Henrique wants a bond of three years in duration, which would represent the last contract of his professional career.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Bruno Henrique takes the lead in Flamengo's attack after injuries to teammates
|
0With several casualties in the offensive sector, Bruno Henrique, 33 years old, will be the main name in Flamengo's attack in the next matches. The striker, who stands out for his long-standing partnership with Arrascaeta, believes that this harmony will be fundamental for the team to maintain its good performance in the competitions it competes in, such as the Brazilian Championship, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
"We are the players at the front. Arrascaeta is a classic midfielder, who knows how to create plays and finish. Being close to him increases the chances of scoring and assisting. With his quality and the more than six years we have played together, we understand each other just by looking at each other", stated Bruno Henrique in an interview with ESPN.
Flamengo will no longer have Pedro and Everton Cebolinha until the end of the season. Furthermore, Michael and Luiz Araújo are only expected to return to the pitch in the final stretch of 2024. Gabigol, who also faces physical problems, has been used less frequently. With this series of absences, the leading role falls to Bruno Henrique, who has the mission of leading the red and black attack at a decisive moment of the season.
To make up the offensive sector, Mais Querido also has newcomers Gonzalo Plata and Carlinhos, as well as young promises from the club's youth categories. Despite the losses, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique's experience and quality will be enough to keep the team competitive in competitions.
