Flamengo was eliminated this Thursday (10) from the Libertadores after losing 3-1 to Olimpia (PAR). After the match, coach Jorge Sampaoli's permanence was put in check, but Rubro Negro's board ruled out the coach's dismissal.


The backstage confusion and physical trainer Pablo Fernandez's aggression towards Pedro exposed the coach's relationship problems and your allies with the player and part of the squad. Even knowing the previous problems, Rodolfo Landim chose Sampaoli and he intends to keep it until the end of 2024.


Although there is an atmosphere of distancing in relation to the cast and a performance that is below expectations, the board maintains the position to keep Sampaoli at the head of the team.


Flamengo's sports management sector understands that the low period cannot be attributed only to the coach, and highlights the decrease in collective performance, in addition to the passive posture observed in key players of the squad.

Reporter Eric Faria, linked to Globo, brought to light information about the lack of conviction of Flamengo players in relation to Sampaoli's approach. According to the journalist, the method used by the Argentine coach does not adequately align with the characteristics of the team.

JORGINHO IS DOUBTFUL IN THE MIDFIELD


In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.


Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.

With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
