On the "ESPN" program, Dorival Júnior, former Flamengo coach from June to November 2022, recently recalled his time at Clube da Gávea during an interview. Now at São Paulo, the coach shared some insights into his management at the red and black team, including a memorable moment with the player Pedro, who was fundamental in his scheme while he was here at the club.

During the interview, Dorival revealed that he had had a frank conversation with Pedro, in which he expressed his concern for the player. He emphasized that a player of Pedro's caliber should not be going through a period of below-expected performance. The coach also pointed out that part of the situation was due to the carelessness shown by the athlete, who seemed to not be trying hard enough. Dorival Júnior recalled that he conveyed his confidence in Pedro and encouraged the player to prepare better, highlighting that the team depended on his potential.

It is important to mention that Pedro played a fundamental role in Dorival's successful campaign Junior at Flamengo. The team won the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores da América titles during his time as coach. However, surprisingly, Flamengo's board chose not to renew the contract with the coach.


While the player Pedro remained at the Rio club, maintaining his relevance as one of the team's main athletes. Currently, Pedro is part of the Flamengo squad, but now under the command of Tite, the renowned coach of the Brazilian national team. Taking advantage of the FIFA Date break, the player is preparing with the rest of the squad for the team's next challenges.


Dorival Júnior's conversation with Pedro, in which he expressed his confidence in the player's potential, is an example of how coaches play a crucial role not only in tactics and strategy, but also in the development and motivation of their players. This passage demonstrates the importance of the work of coaches in the world of football, influencing the individual and collective performance of players.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".

Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.




INVOLVEMENT OF THE CITY OF RIO

The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.



IMPORTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT FOR FLAMENGO

Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. In search of a good advantage for the second leg, coach Tite will have to deal with several important absences in the red and black squad.

Peñarol coach, Diego Aguirre, defined the starting lineup for the match decisive. With no important absences, the Uruguayan team takes to the field with: Aguerre; Léo Coelho, Javier Méndez, Guzmán Rodríguez; Pedro Milans, Eduardo Darías, Damián García, Javier Cabrera, Léo Fernández, Maximiliano Olivera; and Maximiliano Silvera.


Aguirre will have almost his entire squad at his disposal. The only player out of the match is Damian Suarez, who has not yet had his name regularized after his recent arrival at the Uruguayan club. However, Suarez's absence is not a concern, as the coach has a complete squad for the clash against Mengão. b>


On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.

The Brazilian team takes the field this Tuesday (10), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Paraguay, at the Defensores del Chaco stadium, in a game valid for the 8th round of the Qualifiers. For the duel, coach Dorival Júnior will promote the entry of Endrick in place of Luiz Henrique. As a result, Rodrygo, who started the match against Ecuador centrally, will be moved to the right side.

In a press conference this Monday, the national team coach commented on the changes in the offensive sector and recalled that Pedro would be a perfect piece for the Brazilian attack.


“A reference man with mobility for me is ideal. Pedro has that and a lot of it. We've been thinking about Pedro's name since the first call-up and he knows it. He is a player who is perfect for the moment. I was very sorry for the injury he had. We lost a very important option, but the main thing is Pedro's feeling of being human. After that, it would be very important for the moment we are living in and would complete what we are designing”, said Dorival, before going deeper into Rodrygo.


“From Rodrygo, the last thing I want is for him to be reference, because it does not have this characteristic. The mobility he has at Real, the intelligence, the infiltration, is everything I want him to do in the Seleção and be able to execute movements without the need to fulfill a type of role. So he can use the best he has, as he had been playing with Vini and Bellingham up front, helping to rebuild his team. They have freedom in the middle forward, that's what we proposed when we placed the two closer. With Endrick, he opens up a little more to be positional with freedom of movement.”

Danilo cites Pedro as an example in his speech

Team captain, the right-back Danilo spoke to his teammates in the dressing room before the victory over Ecuador. The Juventus player recalled Pedro's injury and the time the striker will be absent.

“We just need each one of us to believe in what we have to do. Need some extra motivation? Pedro was here the day before yesterday, he was going to be a starter, (he's going to be) out for seven or eight months. What's our problem? From today onwards, every game is an objective, respecting those who made history with this shirt, respecting those who work from sunrise to sunset and, even so, at 10 pm they will watch the national team play", encouraged the captain.
