The call-ups for the Copa América resulted in the absence of five Flamengo players, who have been missing since June 13th. Last Thursday (20), Flamengo managed to overcome yet another challenge and, despite the lack of several important athletes, beat Bahia 2-1 in a match valid for the tenth round of the Brazilian Championship.
At the end of the game, Flamengo's football director, Bruno Spindel, commented on the club's situation at this stage of the season. Spindel highlighted the strength of the squad, but highlighted the difficulties faced on a daily basis to compensate for absences. He also confirmed that several players are making sacrifices to keep Flamengo competitive.
“It is clear that we are facing a very difficult time, with five high-level players called up to the national teams. As Professor Tite and Professor Cleber mentioned, the most important thing that gives us the most pride is the strength of the group.", he said before adding.
"We have a very strong squad, with all the players committed, many playing outside their usual positions, some taking on roles they rarely played in their careers, and the results are being positive. What we are most proud of is the teamwork, involving the coaching staff, staff and players, all performing the functions determined by the coach and the committee,” said Spindel.", he concluded.
ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES
In addition to the call-ups, Flamengo has been dealing with a series of injuries that further complicate the situation. “With five athletes called up to the national teams – we have 11 games of the year without these players – this worsens the problem. of injuries. Against Athletico-PR, in addition to the five in the teams, we had five injured, and Bruno Henrique was unable to take the field.", said Spindel.
I spoke to the doctor at halftime, and he told me that he had already administered all possible medications since the night before. He was visibly pale on the bench, playing at sacrifice. Allan also accelerated his recovery to play, and other players have sacrificed themselves in different ways. Léo Ortiz played as a midfielder, Léo Pereira offered to play on the wing. Everyone is focused on the common goal of making Flamengo perform as well as possible and win the next game,” explained the manager.
