With the same determination and grit that have marked their campaign so far, Sesc RJ Flamengo reaches the quarterfinals of the Superliga to face Osasco in a decisive series. In an extremely balanced tournament, the team recognizes the challenges, but trusts in the work developed to seek classification.
Libero Laís , who stands out in the competition's passing statistics and is second with the most efficient pass in the Superliga, highlighted the group's commitment and the mentality needed to face this new phase of the competition.
— Sesc RJ Flamengo is a very hard-working team. We continue to work hard, seeking victories and the best performance on the court. It has been a very tough and balanced Superliga, with several teams taking turns in the top positions, showing the reality of greater uniformity among the teams. Now, it is as if everything has been reset and a new championship begins. We have at least two very difficult games against Osasco, an opponent that needs no introduction, but we really want these victories and we are going after them — he stated.
Laís reinforces that individual success is a consequence of collective effort and the daily demands of the work led by coach Bernardinho.
— I don't think there's any secret other than hard work. Bernardo is always demanding our best, our 110%, and that keeps us constantly improving. I'm happy with the stats, of course, but our focus is always on the team, especially in my position. If we have good volume and an efficient backcourt, we make the setter and attackers' work easier. That's the mission: to seek speed, precision in passing and efficiency in defense so that the team can play even better — he analyzed.
In addition to the intensity of training, studying the match is also a determining factor in Sesc RJ Flamengo's preparation. Laís highlighted the importance of reading the game and mapping out the opponent's plays to have strategic positioning on the court.
— We tend to watch a lot of videos of our opponents. There is this tactical aspect that is studied a lot. We try to map out the plays, with the best positioning for passing, receiving, blocking... Volleyball is like a game of chess, it requires a lot of study of all positions — he explained.
An admirer of Fabi, one of the greatest liberos in the history of Brazilian volleyball and an icon of Sesc RJ Flamengo, Laís continues to build her own path, with a lot of sweat and training. Alongside her teammates, she is preparing for another great challenge and promises to give everything on the court to beat Osasco and continue fighting for the Superliga title.
Sesc RJ Flamengo will face Osasco São Cristóvão Saúde this Saturday (29), at 9 pm, at Ginásio José Liberatti, in Osasco, for the first game of the Superliga quarterfinals. The series will be played in the best of three matches , with the second match scheduled for April 2, at Maracanãzinho, in Rio de Janeiro. If necessary, the third game will take place on April 11, again in Osasco. The matches will be broadcast live on the SporTV2 channel and on the VBTV platform.

Sesc Flamengo continues to restructure, with new players arriving and leaving. As such, Mais Querido has signed Simone Lee, a 28-year-old American who played last season for Megabox Vallefoglia-ITA.
WHO IS SIMONE LEE?
Simone Lee 's signing has been rumored for some time. The athlete is 1.88m tall and also has a German volleyball background, enjoying the peak of her career last season. She was voted the best attacker in the 2023/24 Turkish Championship.
Throughout her career, Simone has won two German Championships, one Italian Championship, one German Cup and one Nations League for the United States. She was discovered by Pennsylvania State University and went to Europe in the 2017/18 season.
SIMONE'S HUSBAND CAN STRENGTHEN THE FLABASQUETE
According to information from the "Garrafão Rubro-Negro" portal, Simone's husband, German winger Lukas Wank , may join Flabasquete. Lukas will come to accompany his wife, but will need to find a new club after leaving Germany.
Last season, Lukas played for the Wurzburg Baskets, playing in 13 games and averaging 2.3 points, 0.6 assists and 1.3 rebounds. Previously, he played for Oldenburg, Skyliners Frankfurt, Lowen Braunschweig, Niners Chemnitz, RheinStars Köln and Science City Jena.

Bap reveals Flamengo's financial situation left by Landim's management - check it out
The president of Mais Querido opened up about the moment the club was in after the departure of the former management at the beginning of the year

Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over as president of Flamengo in January, after winning the red-black elections at the end of 2024. Thus, the leader of Mais Querido gave a quick interview to the press present in the United States and exposed the financial reality that the club found after the end of Rodolfo Landim's management.
Flamengo had money for two days, so Flamengo had a good economic situation, but a bad financial situation", highlighted Bap.
He continued: "If Flamengo were a company earning R$1.5 billion per year, it would have to have around R$300, R$400 million in cash. That's how you run a company. No one runs a large company with less than 3, 4 months of cash in hand. Like that guy who has furniture, furnishings, but no money in the bank. He had no liquidity," revealed Bap.
INCREASE IN DEBT IN 2024
It is worth remembering that Flamengo released the annual report with the audited financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year. The balance sheet even showed record revenue of R$1.3 billion, but also indicated a 581% increase in net operating debt, which went from R$48 million to R$327 million, and a deficit of R$734 thousand.
SOLUTIONS TO SAVE MONEY
Finding itself in a delicate financial situation, Flamengo 's focus at the beginning of the year was to increase its cash flow. Thus, with the non-renewal of David Luiz and Gabigol's contracts, the Rubro-Negro made room in the monthly payroll. In addition, the Rubro-Negro agreed to sell Fabrício Bruno to Cruzeiro for R$44 million.
FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE
So, while Bap continues trying to recover Flamengo financially, the red-black squad focuses on the next commitment in the Club World Cup. Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), for the match against Los Angeles FC.
