Rodrigo Tostes, countered the official note released by Flamengo about the partnership between the clubs. In a direct and blunt statement, Tostes classified the red-black statement as "fake news" and questioned the transparency of the mentioned project. In Flamengo's note, the Rio club had detailed its intention to establish a collaboration with Leixões, a smaller Portuguese club, with a focus on sharing strategies and strengthening international relations.

The proposal was that Flamengo would offer support and exchange of knowledge for the development of both clubs. However, Tostes claimed that the content of the note did not reflect reality and that there was no concrete information about the project. According to Tostes, Flamengo did not present clear details about what was actually being proposed. “The project will become clear when they present something, right? We don't know anything. Unfortunately, we are in a world of narratives”, stated the Leixões representative. For him, Flamengo did not offer sufficient evidence to justify the partnership and left out important aspects of the agreement.

The disagreement between the parties comes at a time when the relationship between international and Brazilian clubs has been increasingly common. Partnerships such as the proposal between Flamengo < /a>and Leixões are seen as a way to expand the presence and impact of clubs outside their countries of origin. However, for these agreements to be effective and beneficial, transparency and fulfillment of promises are essential.

Flamengo has had a very clear weak point for some time. The team coached by Tite has been suffering from aerial plays, whether through set pieces or rolling, since the beginning of the Brazilian Championship. In a survey by 'GE', until the 22nd round of the Brasileirão, the red and black team was in fourth place among the teams that conceded the most goals from high crosses.

This lower performance was accentuated after the last two matches of the More Honey. In the duels against Botafogo and Bolívar, two goals in very similar plays occurred against the goal defended by goalkeeper Rossi. Against the black and white team, a cross from the back of full-back Ayrton Lucas found Mateo Ponte free to head the ball. In Bolivia, in the same play, Bruno Sávio was the one who scored for the home team.

“Man, we are aware that we need to improve in this regard, we conceded a very similar goal against Botafogo, it's adjustment issue. It's complicated because you come to play here, and the move itself, we end up kind of complaining about a questionable move against Nico (De la Cruz). And then the guy dominates a ball, comes from the opposite foot and plays it on the second stick. The guys also work on this, and there is also the altitude at which the ball travels. So it’s about being calm, patient, the most important thing of all is qualifying so we can have peace of mind to work”, declared Fabrício Bruno as he left the Hernando Siles stadium, in Bolivia.

Goalkeeper Rossi was asked about the goals in the Libertadores post-game press conference. The archer defended his teammate Ayrton Lucas and stated that Flamengo has its flaws, but that its rivals do too, and that goals conceded are not always red-and-black failures, but that there are merits from the opponent.

“ We have a team in front of us that knows the weaknesses we have. Not only do we have weaknesses, but the other team does too. And it's not that he suffers on the backs of the full-backs due to weaknesses, the rival also plays, analyzes, is intelligent and has a high level. Today we play the Libertadores, which is the most important competition in America. We know that we conceded a goal behind our backs against Botafogo the other day, today too, but it's not possible with four or five players to cover 60 meters. It's very difficult. Today (Thursday) the ball is also faster (at altitude). And we were one player down because at that moment Nico (De la Cruz) had fallen in the area, he said it was a penalty. So I think it's not a thing about weaknesses or suffering, it's a thing about improving and continuing to improve”, pointed out the Argentine.

Despite the weaknesses, Flamengo is the only team in the G-4 of the Brasileirão that remains alive in three competitions and has a chance of becoming champion in all of them. The red-black team is now focusing its efforts on the match this Sunday (25th) at 8pm (Brasília time) against Red Bull Bragantino. The game will be at Maracanã and could mark the debut of attacker Michael by the red-black, who is related to the duel. Coach Tite recovers after atrial fibrillation and will not be on the edge of the field. Matheus Bacchi, the coach's son, is the one who will be in charge of the technical committee.
