Mauro also welcomed Boto's initiative, emphasizing that the red-and-black coach should be held accountable internally: " When Boto was hired, he came with this more technical profile, as a sporting director . So, these conversations are natural and important. It's up to him to question the coach's strategies and decisions," he explained.
The journalist took the opportunity to analyze Filipe Luís's work so far and made a direct criticism of Flamengo 's lack of variation in play under his command: " The team has been monotactic — it always plays the same way , without many tactical variations."
Finally, Mauro emphasized that pressure is part of the maturation process for a coach still at the beginning of his career: "Only established coaches, like Guardiola, Klopp, or Simeone, achieve a degree of complete autonomy . Until then, pressure is natural."

His performance has been crucial in campaigns such as the Brazilian Championship, where the club leads with defensive solidity.
Ortiz's release clause is another factor that reinforces Flamengo's firm position. Valued at €80 million (approximately R$514 million) , the amount is far above the offers received so far for the player, who is important to Filipe Luís.
