Carioca Champion with Mais Querido, the foreigner highlighted a factor that differentiates the sport in the country
|
Absolute titleholder with Tite, Varela has been experiencing a unique moment since arriving at Flamengo, in mid-2022. After all, for the first time the Uruguayan had a run in the team. On the other hand, the intense pace of games is considered a problem for the full-back, who pointed out the heavy calendar of Brazilian and South American football as an obstacle for teams to perform at 100% in all matches.
"In Brazil, the sequence of games is much more difficult, too. It's very difficult to have to play every three days, to be traveling, we get very tired. Now we went to Colombia, also Bolivia, games at altitude… This makes it very difficult the player's physicality and it is very difficult for us to always be at 100% (conditions). This point makes football here sometimes more difficult than in Europe", said Varela, in an interview with 'ESPN'.
< Varela arrived at Flamengo in mid-2022, but made just six appearances, being the third option for Dorival Júnior's team, behind Rodinei and Matheuzinho. Last year, he ended the Brasileirão as a starter, already under the command of Tite, ending the season with 21 games. This year, absolutely with the coach from Rio Grande do Sul, he has already entered the field 13 times and scored the first goal with Manto Sagrado, in Carioca's debut, against Audax.Revealed in categories As a youth player at Peñarol (URU), Varela completed his training in Europe, when he played for Manchester United's (ING) under-21 team and played for Real Madrid Castilla (ESP). Subsequently, the full-back spent time in Germany and Denmark, until arriving at Dinamo Moscow (RUS), where he played two seasons before signing with Flamengo. Therefore, after much of his career on the Old Continent, the athlete is well aware of the difference in 'load' in relation to Brazil.
After winning the Rio title on Sunday (07), Varela and his teammates Flamengo won't have much time to rest. After all, Rubro-Negro enters the field this Wednesday (10), against Palestino (CHI), in the second round of Group E of the Copa Libertadores de América.
Like Rubro-negro, Martial suffered from injuries in 2023/24

Flamengo's number 22 shone against Alvinegro in the state in 2024
|
The attacker Carlinhos should be Flamengo's starter in the classic against Botafogo this Sunday (18), in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The number 22 must take over the space left by Pedro and Gabigol. Playing against the Rio rival brings back good memories for the player. In this year's Carioca he scored two goals against Botafogo.
At the time, Carlinhos was wearing the Nova Iguaçu number 9 shirt. The match was held in February, at the Engenhão stadium, in the sixth round of the tournament. Botafogo led 2-0, but Carlinhos led his team's reaction by scoring two goals. In the end, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
The game against Botafogo will be Carlinhos' fourth as a starter with the Rubro-Negro shirt. He was part of Tite's lineup against Palmeiras, Atlético-MG and São Paulo. Against the Minas Gerais club, number 22 scored the second goal of the game.
Without Pedro, Gabigol and Everton Cebolinha, Mengão's number 22 should gain a sequence in Tite's starting team . In addition to the match against Botafogo, he should be selected in the starting eleven against Bolívar, on Thursday (22), in the return game of the round of 16.
As Pedro and Gabigol only return in September , Carlinhos should also play against: Bragantino (25); in the first game of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil (27, 28 or 29); and Corinthians (01/09).
Striker projects season titlesSigned by Mais Querido after being second top scorer in the Campeonato Carioca, striker Carlinhos projected to win all the titles that Flamengo has to compete for this season. The projection was made during 'Carona com Smigol', a FLATV program.
In the conversation, he said that “this energy of ours, this vibration of ours in each training session and each game, everyone donating to the maximum, so nothing is better than finishing as champions of the Brazilian Championship, we will achieve that, God willing. Let's look for all possible titles.”
