Flamengo changed management< /a>. With the arrival of BAP as President, many names are arriving and others leaving the club. In this sense, there is a major reformulation in all departments. Last Tuesday, the physiologist Tadashi Hara made his departure from Rubro-Negro official on his Instagram account.


"With a feeling of accomplishment, I end my cycle at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. There were years of dedication and passion for this shirt, where I had the honor of celebrating great titles. and lifting trophies alongside an exceptional team. Wearing this mantle was an honor and a unique experience. I lived unforgettable moments and made lifelong friends. red-black will remain forever in my heart", he published.


In an exclusive interview with journalist Diego Alarcon, from Gazeta do Urubu, Tadashi Hara spoke about his dismissal from Flamengo. The now former red-black physiologist said that his resignation is linked to the arrival of José Luiz Runco, new head of Fla's medical department.


"The dismissal was due to the arrival of Runco. He changed everyone without even having the chance to show what was being done, I didn't even see the rumors about the change of everyone in the department", said Tadashi.

Furthermore, Tadashi Hara was asked about the criticism that the medical department in general had been suffering lately, especially in the recovery of important players. The physiologist was emphatic:


"If you look at each injury and each player's history, there is an explanation. There were players who could have problems or any type of disorder, so it was not possible to say if this or that player plays, they will suffer an injury. That's why we had clinical data, which are moderate, mild or high for each athlete, through data. physical, physiotherapeutic, biochemical and complaints, so they are an accumulation of factors. The club and the technical committee decided to spare the athlete or not. >, said Tadashi, who continued...

It is impossible for a player to play 73 games in a year. Therefore, I believe that the Flamengo DM who was there used all the apparatus in this regard, which is used all over the world. Of course, the resentment of the fans is high, and some important players who suffered injuries weighed heavily in the criticism, such as PEdro, Vina, Cebolinha, Michael who had returned from Saudi. Now, if you look at the percentage of availability during the year, we had 90% of players available, which is a global standard. The problem was the serious injuries", he concluded.

New era with Runco

After the departure of the head of the medical department Márcio Tannure, the new director José Luiz Runco is recommending professionals he trusts to everyone Flamengo's health sectors. The cast will perform again this Wednesday (8), at CT Ninho do Urubu.
