Even though we are still competing for Campeonato Carioca, the Flamengo is already keeping an eye on the Brasileirão and is worried about the possible absences it will suffer throughout the competition. running points. To try to contain the imminent series of embezzlements during the Copa América, Mais Querido joined 12 other clubs in asking the CBF to halt the championship. However, the entity refused, generating outrage from Bruno Spindel, the club's executive director.
"We do not understand the CBF's stance in relation to the Brazilian Championship, of treating it as the least important competition. The way in which the CBF does the calendar, it positions the Brazilian Championship as the least important product of all. The state championships, the Libertadores, Recopa, Supercopa, Copa do Brasil... They all have their games outside the national team competitions, and the CBF placed nine rounds of the Brazilian Championship within the World Cup. America", said Spindel, after Flamengo was champion of the Guanabara Cup last Saturday (02).
"The only competition that is affected. Competition, I think, the most competitive in the world and which brings more financial resources to all teams. We don't quite understand the reason for this protection of the calendar for the Copa do Brasil and treating the Brazilian Championship in an insignificant way", concluded Bruno Spindel.
The Copa América will be played between June 20th and July 14th, in the United States. Therefore, the period encompasses nine rounds of the Brazilian Championship, counting the games before and after the competition. Mais Querido will suffer in these matches with around 8 to 9 absences, with representatives in Uruguay, Chile and the Brazilian team.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT MATCHWith the refusal of the CBF , what remains for Flamengo is to take advantage of each match in which the players are available. Thus, the Mais Querido squad will reappear at CT Ninho do Urubu on the afternoon of this Monday (4), to begin preparations for the classic against Fluminense, on Saturday (9), valid for Carioca semi-final.

Former Vasco player André Balada had a successful career in football, with achievements such as the Copa do Brasil and games with the Brazilian team, as well as time in Europe. However, the former striker revealed that he only had one dream left to fulfill: playing for Flamengo.
In an interview with journalist Igor Rodrigues, André preferred to remain secretive, but said that he did not play for his favorite team and that Mais Querido is still alive in the current Libertadores. However, his father ended the suspense by saying that Flamengo is the club that has had the former striker's heart since his childhood.
"(What was missing from his career?) He missed winning a Brazilian championship. ( Wasn't there a club missing?) My father is a Basque fan (laughs), I played for his club. (Did he play for yours?) Yeah... No. (Can you tell me which team you love?) When I can, I go and watch my team's games. (Is he at Libertadores?) Yes, he's at Libertadores", said André, who saw the mystery go 'down the drain' because of his father.
“His dream was to play for Flamengo. We spent a month negotiating with Flamengo, it almost worked”, said Lenílson Marins, André Balada’s father. The aforementioned dialogue took place in 2011. The player played for Bordeux (FRA), and would be loaned to Mais Querido and even embarked from France to Brazil. However, on a stopover in Germany, his phone rang and the businessman informed him that he had signed a deal with Atlético-MG at the last minute.

It is a definitive transfer and we hope it can be completed by tomorrow”, confirmed Bruno Spindel, before entering Galeão International Airport. The director also said again that Mais Querido could sell other players in this transfer window.
"Other possible departures (could happen), but I can't comment. There are some markets that closed on the 30th, others on the 2, but there are others that close on the 16th, the 13th. These are questions that we are evaluating, what proposal we can come up with, always with total focus on the sporting side, so that we can have the most qualified and strongest squad possible. group is very strong to face the three competitions”, concluded Spindel.
Because it is not being used as much by Tite, the Flamengo decided to release Igor Jesus to Estrela Amadora. Mais Querido will receive 2 million euros (R$ 12.4 million) for 50% of the midfielder's rights. Thus, Rubro-Negro will keep the other 50%. Spindel, the expectation is that the sale will be completed by this Sunday (1).
