Striker Paolo Guerrero was one of the most talked-about signings in Flamengo's restructuring. However, according to former player Héctor Canteros, who currently plays for Sacachispas (ARG), the Peruvian was "scared" when he saw the structure of the Ninho do Urubu Training Center at the time and even expressed a desire to leave the club.
In an interview with ESPN, Canteros revealed that Guerrero had come from Corinthians, then considered a benchmark for infrastructure, and found himself at a Flamengo club in full transition. " As soon as he arrived at the training center, he wanted to leave immediately. Everyone talked to him about staying. Director Rodrigo Caetano and I spoke to him ," he recounted.
At that time, Flamengo was still moving into its new training center, and many areas were under construction. According to Canteros, the environment was "rooted" compared to Corinthians, but today the club enjoys a different reality, with a hotel and complete facilities for its athletes. " When I get together with Paolo, we laugh a lot about this story. Flamengo is on a different level today ," concluded the Argentine.
Despite a turbulent start, Guerrero adapted to the club and became a key player between 2015 and 2018. In total, the striker played 115 matches, scored 43 goals, and provided 13 assists for Flamengo . His biggest title was the 2017 Campeonato Carioca, before leaving Flamengo the following year.
