The Premier League, traditionally known for its quality and competitiveness, reaffirms its prestige by being the league with the largest number of players called up for the Copa América 2024. With 44 athletes distributed across 11 of the 16 participating teams, the English championship demonstrates its strong influence on world football.
In addition to the Premier League, other leagues also stand out in the composition of the teams. MLS, from the United States, appears in second place with 40 players, followed by Liga MX, from Mexico, with 35 athletes. The Brasileirão occupies fourth place, contributing 32 players to the tournament. This is significant data that highlights the role of Brazilian football on the international stage, even though it is behind the previously mentioned leagues.

Bolivia, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru and Venezuela are the countries without representatives from the English league in their squads. In contrast, Argentina and Brazil lead as the teams with the most players from the Premier League, underlining the influence of these two countries in the English championship.

Flamengo is the Brazilian club with the largest number of players called up, with five athletes: Varela, Viña, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta (Uruguay) and Pulgar (Chile). Other clubs also contribute significantly, such as São Paulo, with four players called up, being the 12th most represented team in the competition.

The drama involving Gabigol and Flamengo escalated even further this Saturday (29), when the striker was removed from the list of players listed for the match against Cruzeiro. The removal generated a furious reaction from Claudemir Almeida, uncle of Gabigol, who used his social networks to criticize coach Tite and the club's board of directors.

He insinuated that Tite's arrival at the club was a breaking point in Gabigol's trajectory at Flamengo, suggesting a possible old disagreement between the coach and the attacker.
A LEVEL OF CHARGE
"The truth is that when Tite arrived at Flamengo , the end of a beautiful story at Flamengo was decreed", wrote Claudemir. He acknowledged that the player is not at his best, but argued that the only way to recover his performance is to play. "Is he in a bad phase? Yes. But he only scores goals again by playing. Gabriel, his story, his name is forever at Flamengo. That's not a director, he's not a president, he's not a fucking coach who's going to erase ", he declared.
Claudemir ended the message with a tone of encouragement, demonstrating faith in Gabigol's return to the field and in the recovery of his good performance. "Up, Gabriel. Faith in God, who will soon be doing what he loves most: playing football", he concluded. Claudemir's reaction reflects the frustration of Gabigol's family and fans, who see the striker facing a delicate moment in his career at Flamengo. Since Tite's arrival, the relationship between the coach and the player appears to have deteriorated, fueling rumors about an old feud between the two.

In the first penalty I was a little bit hasty compared to the way I normally take it, I took a lot away from the goalkeeper. In the second, with a a little more calm, I managed to do the way I can and always do. Happy with the goal and assist, but the most important thing is the team's victory", he said.
