Coluna do Fla, one of the main sports outlets in the country, brought to light the main reason that motivates the athlete to leave Mais Querido.

Rodrigo Caio made the decision not to renew his contract with Flamengo due to his criticism of the lack of transparency from the club in relation to the disclosure of its physical conditions.

In the current season, Rodrigo Caio participated in just nine games, which represents just 14% of the matches in the Flamengo so far in 2023. Of these nine games, seven took place under the command of coach Vítor Pereira, during matches valid for the Campeonato Carioca and Libertadores. With Jorge Sampaoli, there were only two games, the last of which was against Internacional, on April 23, for the Brazilian Championship.


Since then, the defender has remained on the bench, without being used by anyone. of Flamengo coaches. Given this scenario, Rodrigo Caio envisions his departure from the club and the search for new opportunities in Brazilian football. However, it is important to highlight that, despite his limited participation on the field, Rodrigo Caio remains at Flamengo's disposal. Mais Querido's next challenge is scheduled for Wednesday, November 1st, against Santos, in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash will take place at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, starting at 8pm (Brasília time).


The situation involving Rodrigo Caio and Flamengo remains a topic of heated discussion among fans, leading many to wonder about the defender's future and his role at the club. The decision not to renew the player's contract adds another chapter to the history of Brazilian football, reinforcing the importance of transparency and effective communication between clubs, their athletes and passionate fans.

In an interview with the channel “Faaaala, Craque !”, on YouTube, the former player highlighted how satisfying it is for a professional athlete to wear a shirt with such a historic number. Faced with comments about the absence of a player wearing Mengão's number 10, Zico declared his opinion:


“He really doesn't have the number 10. But I will never ask to remove the number, I am against that. If you took Pelé away, for example, you wouldn't be able to play, have the satisfaction of playing. I'm not worried about that. Football is not basketball”, said Galinho.


Gabigol lost Flamengo's number 10 shirt after controversy

“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that, after a meeting with the vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, and other directors of the department, the athlete Gabriel Barbosa was fined and informed by the director that he will no longer wear the red-black number 10 shirt in competitions where the number may be changed. ”

Gabigol “inherited” the number after the retirement of Diego Ribas, at the end of 2022. The striker wore the legendary shirt in 72 matches, being a starter in 47 of them. During this period, he scored 22 goals, provided four assists and won the 2024 Campeonato Carioca. After the incident, Gabriel started to wear the number 99 shirt at Flamengo.
