With the arrival of José Boto as football director at Flamengo, many areas of the club underwent major restructuring, with the scouting department being one of them. Thus, the red-black director hired Ukrainian Andrii Fedchenkov to be manager of the sector, who detailed the new work model in the area.




These are very important details that we had to do...


" We are getting closer to being satisfied every day. I can't say that we found anything bad, but we had to improve many things, implement others. For example, we created a database on a platform, we created the model for the concrete and detailed player report. These are very important details that we had to do. One of the last steps is hiring the two professionals ," he said, in an interview with 'ge'.

SMALL GROUP FOR SCOUT AREA


In total, only five professionals work in the scouting area at Flamengo . Thus, Andrii explained that the choice of a smaller group aims to speed up the exchange of information.

" For us, the flow of information is important. It should be easy and fast. In the world of football, you can't waste a lot of time communicating, so we want it to flow very quickly. That's why the team is shorter. We can communicate with the scouts every day without wasting time ," he said.

PLAYER ANALYSIS

It is worth noting that the signings made by Flamengo at the beginning of the current season did not come from the new scouting department, since José Boto took over the Rubro-Negro with the transfer window already open. Thus, Andrii Fedchenkov explained that all the study of the players is based on Filipe Luís's style of play, that is, the search is for athletes who have the characteristics that the coach requires.

Filipe is very clear about what he wants...

" It was one of the first things we agreed on. It's what we call the player profile. In other words, what are the fundamental characteristics of the position and the secondary ones. It's very easy to work with Filipe . He has a well-defined style of play, he knows what he wants from the player in each position, " said Andrii Fedchenkov, before adding:

" Sometimes you have coaches who are asking for a perfect player, who doesn't exist. Who has all the skills in the world. It doesn't work like that. Filipe is very clear about what he wants . We have a document and for each position we have the skills, the metrics, the necessary characteristics ."

ABOUT THAT...

While the scouting department works to find players who fit Filipe Luís's style of play, the red-black coach is preparing the team for the next game of the season. Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (10), in a match against Bahia, for the Brasileirão.

This Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) , Mengão visits Internacional at Beira-Rio for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship Series A. Flamengo arrives at the clash with 40 points in 17 games , occupying the leadership of the competition.


Cruzeiro, with 37 points from 19 matches, is the only team that can get closer in the standings this round . Internacional, meanwhile, has 24 points and sits in 11th place before kick-off. This is a crucial matchup for both teams.


PROBABLE LINEUP


According to the week's training sessions, Flamengo 's likely lineup is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.

EMERSON ROYAL IS OUT


Coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes to the lineup, as has been common during his tenure. Emerson Royal sprained his left ankle during last Wednesday's game (13) at Maracanã and is unable to play. Varela will be the replacement at right-back and is expected to take over the position.

EXPECTATION OF RETURN

Another point of concern is De La Cruz's situation. The midfielder has been sidelined since July due to left knee pain , but he's expected to be included on the bench, having traveled south with the Mais Querido team.
