Flamengo ended the 2024 season by winning the Copa do Brasil, under the command of Filipe Luís . However, despite the title, some players faced criticism from the fans due to their performance below expectations. Among the targets of criticism was midfielder Allan , who received a vote of confidence from the red-black board to focus on the club's new phase.


According to information from journalist André Rizek, from SporTV, Mais Querido's directors met with Allan to emphasize the need to forget the past and keep full attention on the present and the future. During the conversation, the club emphasized that the midfielder should not feel pressured by the amount invested in the signing and that the confidence in him remains.


Let's start over, it's from here on out..."


— There is an internal effort with Allan to tell him: “Forget the past. What happened is happened. Let’s start over , it’s from here on out. Forget how much you cost. We trust you.” However, he has not yet been able to give the expected answer. Internally, they are trying to make him justify the reason why the club paid the termination fee to Atlético-MG — Rizek said on SporTV.

INVESTMENT IN ALLAN
The midfielder was announced by Flamengo on July 2, 2023, at the request of then coach Jorge Sampaoli. To complete the transfer with Atlético-MG, the board paid 8.2 million euros (around R$43.1 million at the exchange rate at the time). The expectation was that Allan would maintain the high level of performance he had shown at the Minas Gerais club.
FANS' EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER'S FUTURE AT THE CLUB


With an irregular start at Flamengo , Allan was the target of criticism from the Rubro-Negra Nation, even having his name questioned at the end of last season. Now, with a new coaching staff and support from the board, the player has the opportunity to regain prestige and justify the trust placed in him by the club.
