FLAMENGO DIVERSIFIES INVESTMENTS IN PLAYERS: AN APPROACH FROM BRUNO SPINDEL

Investing in talent goes beyond stratospheric figures and continental borders

Bruno Spindel, the club's director of football, has demonstrated a diverse approach in building his squad. In an exclusive interview, Spindel highlighted that the club's policy is not tied to exorbitant values or European geography. For Flamengo, looking at the continent itself is a solid strategy. Signing South American players is a practice that has proven to be effective. Names like Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique, both from South America, reinforce the view that talent knows no borders.

Flamengo's foray into North American Major League Soccer (MLS) highlights its search for talent in different parts of the globe. Luiz Araújo, a name that gained prominence in MLS, is a concrete example of this global perspective. The Rio club understands that the quality of the player is not limited only to traditional European leagues.

Contrary to the logic that associates big clubs with big numbers, Flamengo also invests in low-cost players. A notable example is the acquisition of Fabricio Bruno, a player who, even with a more modest investment, contributed to the team's success. Spindel highlights that the club is not guided solely by market values, but rather by the effective contribution that each player can offer.

Flamengo's football director is emphatic in stating that the club has no bias in your choices. Hiring policy is not shaped by external influences, such as pressure from businesspeople. “Flamengo does the planning and goes after the players that interest Flamengo and whoever the manager is,” says Spindel. This approach highlights the club's independence in decision-making, ensuring that choices align with Flamengo's goals and values.

Bruno Spindel's report highlights a holistic approach in building Flamengo's squad. Investing in players of different profiles, origins and costs is a strategy that aims to strengthen the team in a comprehensive way. The search for talent goes beyond European borders, demonstrating that Flamengo is attentive to the global football scene. With an independent stance from external influences, the club reinforces its commitment to excellence and building a solid team for the challenges that arise.
