Coach Jorge Sampaoli's assistant told the press why Pedro stayed on the bench throughout the game in which Flamengo was eliminated from the Libertadores. Mais Querido lost 3-1 to Olimpia (PAR) in the second game of the round of 16 final of the Libertadores and Cristian Roberto said that the technical commission group is "very sorry with the result".


Sampaoli's assistant began his speech in defense, saying that it would not be appropriate for him to share what was discussed so that Mengão's number 9 was left out of the match. However, he recognizes that the technical team, behind the scenes of the cast, entered the match with "a lot of illusion".


Flamengo arrived in Asuncion for the match this Thursday (10) with an advantage. The first game ended in favor of the red-black: 1 to 0. The team only needed a draw to secure a place in the quarterfinals of the championship. This did not happen and errors in the midfield, defense and general strategy facilitated the passage of Olimpia, which ran over Flamengo.


Cristian Roberto did not blame anyone specifically for the decisions taken: "it is a group decision". He pointed out how they tried to "do the best for the team", and recalled how each of the players participating in the game undergoes a deep analysis by the entire technical team: "we always say everything during and before the game".

Flamengo's top scorer this season, Pedro, was one of those who did not enter the field, which raised questions and irritation on the part of the fans. It is important to remember the recent events involving Pedro and the club's coaching staff. The striker was attacked on the 29th of last month by physical trainer Pablo Fernández, Sampaoli's right-hand man. After that, the professional was fired and the player is a little away from the media. In addition, rumors circulate that coach Jorge Sampaoli would have chosen not to talk to Pedro about the matter.

Current coach of the Honduras National Team , Reinaldo Rueda was remembered by Rodrigo Caetano, former director of Flamengo. The coach had a stint at Mais Querido and caused outrage among fans in 2018 , when he made a "soap opera" about his permanence.


In an interview with "Charla Podcast", Rodrigo Caetano was asked about what actually happened in the renewal negotiations between Flamengo and Reinaldo Rueda , where Chile entered the fight to hire the coach. Thus, the former red-black director explained that he demanded a position from the coach on the case.




Rodrigo talks about the behind-the-scenes of the renewal with Rueda: "There was a situation where they said he was going to take over Chile. I held him accountable."


He continued: "I demanded and said ' Look, we need to have a definition if this is going to happen '. He, obviously, denied it until the end", said the current Cbf director.

RUEDA WAS SHAKEN BY HIS RUNNER-UPS IN 2017

According to Rodrigo Caetano, the former Flamengo coach called him to communicate his desire to meet with the club - a meeting in which he communicated his dismissal and the payment of his fine by the Chilean national team was resolved. According to the director, the coach was shaken by the runner-up positions in 2017.

"I think that those two consecutive runner-up positions, in the Copa do Brasil for Cruzeiro and in the Sul-Americana for Independiente, made him a little wary about the continuity and the level of tolerance he would have for the following year ," revealed Rodrigo.

FLAMENGO AFTER WHEEL

After Rueda's departure, Flamengo was unable to win any titles at that time. However, the following year, in 2019, the Mais Querido won the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship after the arrival of a new board and Jorge Jesus.
