Carlos Alcaraz, new addition to Flamengo, revealed in an interview with FLATV that he spoke with Alexsandro before making the decision to sign with the Rio club. According to Alcaraz, the conversation with the former Flamengo player was decisive in his choice. Alexsandro, who has a history in Brazilian football, would have emphasized the club's greatness, describing Flamengo as the biggest in Brazil. This statement reinforces the strong image that Flamengo has on the national and international scene, in addition to highlighting the influence that former players can have on the decision of new athletes to join the club.
Alcaraz mentioned that the conversation with Alexsandro was a kind of validation of everything he already knew about Flamengo. For the player, Alexsandro's words worked as an additional incentive, making him feel even more confident in his choice. "He told me we were going to biggest club in Brazil",said Alcaraz, showing that the decision to come to Flamengo was aligned with his ambition to play for a prominent team.
Flamengo's choice for Alcaraz is also seen as strategic. The player arrives with the responsibility of adding quality to the Red and Black midfield, a position that requires dynamism and vision of the game, characteristics that Alcaraz possesses. The confidence that the club places in its new reinforcement is reflected in the signed contract and in the expectations of both the board and the fans.
Alcaraz's arrival was not an impulsive decision. The player already had prior knowledge about Flamengo, but the conversation with Alexsandro was the final point that sealed his decision. This type of contact between players and former players is common in football, but it is not always publicized in such a direct way. In Alcaraz's case, transparency regarding this exchange of information highlights the importance of positive references for an athlete's career.
