Former player Nunes, idol of Flamengo and scorer of two of the three goals that guaranteed the club's victory in the 1981 World Cup, highlighted the importance of knowing how to manage the affection received from fans. In a recent interview with GE, he addressed the need to separate personal and professional life, especially for public figures.
Nunes was emphatic in stating that he does not take advantage of positive or negative moments to criticize professional colleagues . When commenting on a player who recently posed with a Corinthians shirt, Nunes was direct: "It's up to the board to talk and see what's best. I'll evaluate him as a professional player: I think he's an excellent center forward, on the field he makes a difference, moved the Flamengo fans."
A STRONG POSITIONING OF AN IDOL
For the red-black idol, the An athlete's training goes beyond skills on the field. "The training of men, training of professionals, training of athletes is fundamental, it is important that it serves as an example. I don't want to criticize anyone, but we, public figures, have to know how to manage our profession, our private lives and know how to manage the affection that you receive it from people who adore you, who love you."
Nunes highlighted the need for discipline and respect in a player's career. "This is fundamental, it's the board that has to judge, it's the people who manage the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, there are people above who have to decide who is better. I'm not going to criticize anyone, but we have to have discipline, respect, especially with the profession you perform."
He also mentioned that, upon becoming a public person, the player is subject to different situations and needs to be very careful with your actions. "As a player, an excellent player. And they understand each other. You have to have command," concluded Nunes.

Former Mengão coach presented demands considered unfeasible by the Santos board, including major reinforcements, and the club is now turning its attention

Santos has decided to end negotiations to hire Jorge Sampaoli as its new coach . Despite being the favorite to replace Cléber Xavier, who was fired after the 6-0 thrashing by Vasco, Santos failed to meet the Argentine's demands.
The main obstacle was the list of reinforcements requested by the coach, which even included a starter from Sevilla, Spain. The board argued that current financial conditions would not allow for such a large investment , making the deal unfeasible.
In addition to seeking high-profile signings, Sampaoli reportedly also requested the release of youngsters Robinho Jr. and Gabriel Bontempo, recently integrated into the squad and well-regarded by fans. The coach's stance widened the gap between his ideas and the board's planning.
Negotiations made progress on salary points and even on the appointment of reinforcements , but no consensus was reached. The Argentine coach, who had a turbulent time with the Mais Querido in 2023, ended up being discarded by the Santos leadership.
While in charge of Flamengo in 2023, Sampaoli finished runner-up in the Copa do Brasil, but suffered significant burnout after an early elimination from the Copa Libertadores against Paraguayan club Olimpia. Recent history also weighed on internal assessments.
After winning the first leg at Maracanã, Mais Querido will play for a draw against Colorado to confirm their qualification for the Copa Libertadores.
