ANOTHER INJURED, FLAMENGO? TITE EXPOSES THE PROBLEM THAT LEAD HIM TO TAKE DE LA CRUZ OUT OF THE MATCH AGAINST AMAZONAS

Flamengo begins a new stage in its fan membership program. The new Nação will be officially launched on April 10th, integrating a broader set of relationships with fans. The project, which took three months to develop, includes new technologies and partnerships with leading companies in their segments, focusing on the experience, safety and loyalty of the red-black public.

The club's proposal is to transform the fan club into a complete ecosystem that goes beyond the simple sale of tickets. The main objectives include expanding communication channels, improving customer service and offering benefits that are more in line with the fan profile. This restructuring is anchored in technological solutions and personalized engagement strategies.

The new Nação has the participation of companies recognized in the market, such as FENG, responsible for co-managing the program; Futebol Card, which modernized the ticket platform; and Cogny, specialized in integrating technology and strategy in the sports sector.

End to End will handle digital content, while Bepass will work with facial recognition to speed up access to games. Alterego and Pagar.me complete the team with customer service and payment solutions, respectively.

PROGRAM MODERNIZATION

Flamengo 's investment in these partnerships is a fundamental part of its proposal for the continuous evolution of its relationship with fans. The focus is on personalizing the experience, operational excellence and creating a more efficient user journey. The expectation is to strengthen the fans' sense of belonging , making Nação more present in the red-black fans' daily lives.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FANS

The relaunch of the member-fan membership takes place in a decisive week for Flamengo , which faces Central Córdoba, this Wednesday (09), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the second round of the group stage of the Libertadores.

Even though the season is still in its early stages , coach Filipe Luís has already had to deal with repeated absences from Flamengo 's squad. Still in the process of consolidating his position as team leader, the coach has been working hard to find solutions, even in the face of important absences. This stance caught the attention of journalist Gian Oddi , who praised the coach's search for tactical alternatives and game patterns that do not depend on specific players.

“It’s about starting to find, and Filipe Luís is certainly thinking about this, the patterns, for when you don’t have certain players ,” said Oddi, in a recent analysis.

KNOW HOW TO PLAY WITHOUT RASCAETA

The commentator used the number 10, Arrascaeta , as the main example. According to him, the Uruguayan's presence on the field completely changes the team's dynamics . However, with recurring physical problems, the midfielder is not always available, and therefore, Flamengo needs to be prepared to play without him.

Of course it will change depending on the opponent , right? Who you're going to play against, how the opponent plays, but having a pattern to play without Arrascaeta is important for Flamengo , because I think Flamengo has to know how to protect this player . He's so different, he has such great ability and, at the same time, he has almost chronic problems there , from a physical point of view ", he highlighted.

ARRASCAETA CAN BE USED LIKE DYBALA

To deal with this situation, Gian Oddi suggested a similar approach to the one adopted by Roma with Dybala . The Argentine, also prone to injuries, was only used in selected games by the Italian club as a way of preserving his performance throughout the season.

“As someone who follows Roma a lot, I think that maybe Flamengo should do with Arrascaeta what Roma did with Dybala, saying: ‘Man, here’s the thing, you’re not going to play every game , you’re going to play certain games’. But then, you have to be clear about what you’re going to do when you don’t have Arrascaeta . Is someone going to play exactly in the role he plays or are you suddenly going to change the team, you’re going to have a team with different characteristics,” questioned Oddi.

Finally, the journalist highlighted that this type of decision-making will be natural as the coach matures. “I think that as time goes by, Filipe Luís will become more ready and more prepared to make decisions,” the journalist added.

After the 2-1 victory over Vitória in the Brazilian Championship , Flamengo turns the key to the Copa Libertadores. The duel against Central Córdoba, this Wednesday (9), at Maracanã, will be valid for the second round of the group stage. Agustín Rossi, the red-and-black goalkeeper, predicts a high-intensity clash against the Argentines, who are making their debut in the international competition.

In an interview after the match in Salvador, Rossi showed respect for his next opponent and assessed the scenario of the match. “It’s a Libertadores match. A match with a lot of competition, like the one in Venezuela. They’re going to run a lot. The Córdoba players made their debut in the Libertadores this year and will come to play against Flamengo at Maracanã, which will be very important for them ,” said the goalkeeper, highlighting the opponent’s commitment.

We're going to play at home, with our people..."

The Mais Querido's number 1 highlighted the importance of playing alongside the fans and sees the atmosphere at Maracanã as a decisive factor. " We're going to play at home, with our people, with our fans . And that should help us a lot in the match", said Rossi, who believes that the support from the stands can boost the team towards the three points.

CENTRAL CÓRDOBA SAVES HOLDERS

Central Córdoba, led by Omar de Felippe, took to the field with 11 substitutes against Unión de Santa Fé last Sunday. The decision to rest the starters shows the Argentine team's total focus on Wednesday's clash, in a game that marks a historic moment for the club in the Libertadores.

ROSSI ASKS FOR TOTAL FOCUS ON THE LIBERTADORES

Despite the victory in the Brasileirão, Rossi was emphatic in stating that the international challenge should receive special attention. “Wednesday's game will be even more important than today's victory ”, concluded the goalkeeper. Flamengo will be looking to maintain its good form and add three more points in front of the fans at Maracanã.
