Journalist blasts the CBF and predicts Flamengo's future in the season without Pedro

The cast of Flamengo completed the third day of preparation for the game against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. This Saturday's activities (07) were led by coach Tite, who chose not to define starting or reserve teams during collective training. The strategy adopted was to use the session for tests and observations, aiming to adjust the team and analyze the options available for the next appointment.

The coach, whose characteristic is detailed work, took the opportunity to do several tactical variations and evaluate the performance of players in different positions. With the tight schedule, Tite has been looking for alternatives to keep the squad competitive amid the various competitions that the club competes in. The decision not to form defined teams indicates that he is looking for solutions for possible changes to the team, whether due to physical issues, suspensions or injuries.

FLAMENGO SUFFERS WITH INJURIES

Another relevant point of this training was the chance to observe the athletes' behavior on the field without the pressure of a previously established structure. Tite, known for his thorough analysis and focus on collective behavior, believes this approach offers a clearer view of how players may react in different game situations. Thus, the absence of a clear separation between starters and reserves allowed for a more flexible dynamic, allowing everyone the chance to show their value under more balanced conditions.

These tests are especially important, considering that the< a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/bastidores-pegando-fogo-antigos-members-do-conselho-podem-atuar-novamente-pelo-flamengo?" target="_blank"> Flamengo has faced injury problems throughout the season. The club's medical department is working intensely to recover essential players for the squad, and the technical committee knows that it will be necessary to have the entire group available to remain competitive in the final stages of the Copa do Brasil and the Brazilian Championship.

< With the game against Bahia approaching, the observations made in training should directly influence Tite's choices for the match. The coach is attentive to the physical conditions of the players, as the sequence of games requires an effective rotation to avoid excessive wear and tear on the main names in the squad. So, even without defining a starting team in training, Flamengo can already be expected to enter the field with some strategic changes.

Flamengo returns to the pitch for the Copa Libertadores on September 19th, when they face Peñarol (URU) in the quarter-finals of the competition. One of the team's reinforcements in the last transfer window, Argentine midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, did not hide his anxiety to wear the club's shirt in the continental tournament.

With spells at Racing, where he also competed in the Libertadores , Alcaraz celebrated the opportunity to play for Flamengo in the competition. "I've already played in the Libertadores with Racing, but now I'll be able to play for Flamengo. I'm very happy and looking forward to playing in this decisive phase", said the player, who will be available to coach Tite for the clash against Peñarol.

Alcaraz arrives at the team with the mission of strengthening the midfield, which already has names like Gerson, De La Cruz, Erick Pulgar and Arrascaeta, expanding Tite's options for the decisive games of the tournament.

While preparing for the Libertadores, Alcaraz faces some difficulties in the national calendar . After being sent off in the 2-1 defeat against Corinthians, the Argentine is suspended from the classic against Vasco, valid for the Brazilian Championship. Furthermore, he cannot play in the Copa do Brasil match against Bahia, as he is not registered at this stage of the competition.

BEHIND THE SCENES ON FIRE

The role of CEO at Flamengo is a position that involves the responsibility of directly managing the club's operations and administration. With this choice, Dunshee seeks to combine Landim's experience with the desire to implement new ideas in charge of Flamengo, if he wins the elections. By accepting the invitation, Landim demonstrates that he is committed to continuing his work, even if in a role other than the presidency.

During the period in which he was in charge of Flamengo as president, Landim was responsible for achievements important, both on and off the field. Under his management, the club was successful in several competitions and achieved significant financial stability, in addition to making strategic investments that strengthened the club's squad and infrastructure.
