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.

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
PISA RETURNS TO ITALIAN SERIES A AFTER 34 YEARS
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA CLUBS
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
NO SPACE IN THE CAST
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
PASSING TURKEY
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
