Since 2019, under Landim's leadership, Flamengo has invested more than R$1 billion in reinforcements
|
With the end of his last term in sight, Flamengo president Rodolfo Landim, in an interview with the Ge portal, highlighted Giorgian De Arrascaeta as the most significant signing of his management. Landim emphasized personal responsibility in choosing the Uruguayan, which he considered risky, but essential for strengthening the squad.
Since 2019, under Landim's leadership, Flamengo has invested more than R$1 billion in reinforcements, seeking not only to improve immediate performance, but also to ensure the club's long-term competitiveness. At the start of the 2019 season alone, R$191 million were spent on new players, marking an aggressive phase of acquisitions.
"In terms of players, there are several. It's very difficult. Who was the most important player What did we have in 2019? Football is a team sport. If I were to tell you who was my chosen one, the one I did the most to be able to sign, it was Arrascaeta. I had seen Arrascaeta take us out of two championships and there was one. There was a huge desire to bring him in. But those eight signings were hugely successful. They were great. Critics consider that the greatest player of 2019 was Gabigol. Pablo Marí and Rodrigo Caio played was absurd. Everton Ribeiro was not a signing, but he had an exceptional performance. But the one I was most involved in signing was Arrascaeta. president has the right to have it and, if it goes wrong, it's my fault. I wanted to hire him because I believed in his football for a long time."
On reflection Regarding the various signings made, Landim highlighted not only Arrascaeta, but also other players who played important roles, such as Bruno Henrique and Gabriel Barbosa. However, he highlighted: "Football is a team sport. It's difficult to point out the most important thing. However, Arrascaeta was my personal bet and, if it failed, the responsibility would be entirely mine. I always believed in his talent."
In addition to Arrascaeta, Landim commented on the signing of Nicolás De La Cruz, also Uruguayan, whose negotiation involved a payment operation to facing a fine of 15 million euros. According to Landim, this was one of the most financially challenging transactions, highlighting the club's effort to maintain an assertive hiring strategy.

Club seeks internal solutions for attack
|
After suffering a serious injury to his left knee, Flamengo striker Pedro is out of the 2024 season and only should return to the pitch in 2025. With the absence of number 9, Flamengo's board decided not to make major investments in the transfer market and opted to look for solutions within the squad itself. The main name chosen to replace Pedro is Gabigol, the club's idol, despite being in a less prestigious phase.
Even though he is experiencing a moment of lesser protagonism, Gabigol is seen as the main option to take the place of Pedro. Pedro. With decisive goals in the 2019, 2021 and 2022 Libertadores finals, Gabigol is still a reference for the red and black attack. The curious thing is that all the goals scored by Flamengo in the last three finals of the continental tournament went to number 99, consolidating his historical importance at the club.
Despite this, the striker lost space in the current season under coach Tite's command. So far, Gabigol has started just three matches, scoring four goals and one assist. However, he appeared in 21 games, which indicates his constant presence in the coach's options.
In addition to Gabigol, Flamengo has Bruno Henrique, who has already played as a center forward, and Carlinhos, a young promise from the base, as alternatives to make up for Pedro's absence. The club's bet is not to do "financial madness", focusing on making the most of the players who are already part of the squad.
Without Pedro, Flamengo returns to the field on September 12th to face Bahia, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Rubro-Negro has the advantage of the first clash, having won 1-0 at Arena Fonte Nova. Now, the team only needs a draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semi-finals.
