Flamengo may have a new homegrown player for the second half of the season. Midfielder Victor Hugo, who was discovered by the club itself, is close to finishing his loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey , and his return to the squad is being evaluated internally . The one who welcomes this return is coach Filipe Luís, who knows the player well since the days when he was still playing as a full-back and spent time with the youngster in the red-and-black dressing room.
HALF-TERM GAINED SPACE IN 2023 AND CAN COME BACK WITH STRENGTH
Victor Hugo had an important run of form with Jorge Sampaoli in 2023, when he established himself as an option in midfield and even started in several games. The move to European football was aimed at expanding his experience, but the Turkish team Goztepe has already signaled that they will not exercise the purchase option, paving the way for his return to Mais Querido. Internally, the athlete's name has already begun to be discussed as a useful piece for the second half of the year.
FILIPE LUÍS CLOSELY FOLLOWS AND APPROVES THE YOUNG MAN'S STYLE
Filipe Luís has been following Victor Hugo's development even from a distance. According to Bolavip Brasil , the coach already praised the youngster when he was still a player and maintains the same opinion now in his role as manager. For Filipe, the midfielder has characteristics that can add value to the current squad, especially in the midfield dynamics, an area in which Flamengo seeks to maintain a high level of intensity.
The current situation in the Brazilian Championship demands attention. After drawing with Vasco , the club saw Palmeiras open up a two-point lead in the table. Despite this, the red-and-black coach has tried to remain calm and is already working with a different formation for the upcoming matches. Changes are being tested in training, including new additions to the defense and midfield.
The team's schedule remains busy. The delegation is already in Quito to face LDU in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. The coaching staff changed their plans and decided to arrive in Ecuador earlier to minimize the effects of the altitude. For CRF, a draw will avoid complications in the continental tournament, but victory is the main objective.
