Multi-champion with Flamengo, full-back Rafinha participated in Podcast 10 e Faixa, by Diego Ribas, and spoke about his departure from Mais Querido. The player revealed that the proposal he received from Olympiacos was worth "five years of Rubro-Negro", but that it was one of the decisions of his life.
“I don't regret it (having left). I could have stayed at Flamengo a little longer. I was 35 years old, an athlete's career lasts 10, 15 years, the longer you can make your portfolio (money), great, then we'll live for 50 years. They called me on a Wednesday, I remember, they said they wanted to hire me. I said “now is not the time, I just got back from Germany, I’m living like a king here, we were champions, the team is in shape, I can’t, I don’t want to”. They asked how much I would pay and I said a ridiculous number. At the weekend, the president of Olympiacos called me and said he would deposit half of the contract in advance", said Rafinha, before continuing.
IRRECUSABLE PROPOSAL
Rafinha still highlights that he didn't want to leaving Mais Querido, but that Olympiacos' offer was very high and that he could not refuse, as it was rare for a full-back to receive a salary equal to that of a striker. He also says that it was a difficult decision to leave the club.
“At the same time I wanted to go, because for my life and career it was a lot, receiving an offer for that amount, a full-back is not the same as a striker . I had a good salary, but that amount was about five years at Flamengo. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life. The president deposited the money before I signed the contract. My family cried a lot, everyone was disappointed, I had just returned. But you think about everything, due to the financial situation, I couldn't not go, four bacuris (children), seven brothers, 50 family members, uncle, aunt, two IPVA's per month, I had to get the card.”PASSAGE TO FLAMENGO
Rafinha arrived at Flamengo in July 2019. With the sacred mantle, the full-back won the 2019 and 2020 Brasileirão, a Guanabara Cup (2020), a Super Cup (2020 ) and a Carioca (2020). The player was one of the fundamental pieces of the team led by Jorge Jesusu.

After Flamengo's victory over São Paulo this Saturday (12), coach Filipe Luís spoke out about Pedro's actions in the club's daily life. The Mais Querido coach highlighted that the number 9 had unacceptable behavior. Therefore, the athlete's representatives will seek proposals for the player to leave Rubro-Negro.
" We're going to make an offer to Flamengo and try to find a way out ," a representative for Pedro told journalist Venê Casagrande. The response came after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who explained the reason for the player's departure.
FILIPE LUÍS DETONATES PEDRO'S ATTITUDES
Pedro was not included by Filipe Luís for the match against São Paulo this Saturday (12). Thus, the coach explained, in a press conference, that the player had unacceptable behavior. In addition, the coach stated that the number 9 should apologize and that he has been training below expectations.
"Pedro's behavior and attitude during the week was deplorable, bordering on ridiculous. Pedro has his personal issues with the club's board, but he's been training poorly for a while now. This week, however, he broke a clear principle we have as a coaching staff and players: training culture ," the coach emphasized before adding:
"For me, what he did was disrespectful, his behavior in training. I didn't hesitate for a moment to leave him out of this game, as this behavior can be contagious. I hope he recovers, apologizes to his teammates and goes back to being Pedro. It's not just a lack of respect for his teammates, it's also for himself, " said Filipe Luís .
PEDRO IN THE SEASON
Pedro returned from a serious injury a few months ago. Since then, the center forward has appeared in 17 matches for Flamengo. He has scored five goals and provided three assists for his teammates.

Roma is watching Wesley, who is still being watched by other clubs and may be leaving Flamengo. The number 43 confirmed during halftime of the match against São Paulo that there is a chance he will leave the club soon.
Wesley talks about a possible departure from Flamengo: "This is a matter for Flamengo's board and my agents ."
WESLEY'S CURRENT SITUATION
Wesley's contract with Flamengo runs until December 2028. Flamengo is demanding €30 million (R$195 million) to sell the young full-back. The player has also made clear his desire to play for a European club.
Therefore, Wesley is one of Roma's (ITA) priorities. This is because the Italian team hired coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was at Atalanta (ITA). The coach had even considered signing the full-back while he was still at the previous team, but negotiations failed.
ABOUT THAT...
Thus, while Wesley does not receive an official offer, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.

This Saturday (12), Flamengo beat São Paulo by 2-0, in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. However, throughout the match, Mais Querido suffered two important losses: Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas. Thus, Rubro-Negro updated the situation of the athletes.

In addition, the club took the opportunity to talk about the situation of Alex Sandro, who will undergo tests this Sunday (13).
AYRTON LUCAS' SITUATION
Left-back Ayrton Lucas suffered direct trauma to his left leg during the second half of the 2-0 victory over São Paulo, resulting in a blunt force trauma of approximately 8 cm. The player received local anesthesia in the locker room, where Flamengo doctor, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, cleaned and initially examined the wound. After confirming the bone exposure, a dressing was applied and the player was then sent for an x-ray, which ruled out a fracture in the region. Ayrton was taken to Barra D'Or Hospital, where he will undergo surgery. The player will remain hospitalized for at least 48 hours for antibiotics and infection prevention .
ALEX SANDRO
"The player felt pain in the posterior muscle of his left thigh in the first half of Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo. He will undergo an MRI scan on Sunday (13) ," Flamengo said in a statement issued to the press.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
Thus, with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas being doubtful, it is likely that Filipe Luís will once again field Varela at left-back for Flamengo . Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
