The atmosphere at the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo became tense this week with the absence of the vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, on the red-black delegation's trip to Bolivia. While president Rodolfo Landim, together with Diogo Lemos and Bruno Spindel, embarked for the third game of the Libertadores, Braz chose not to accompany the team.
THE "MEIO " FLAMENGO'S FIELD IS NOT ADJUSTED
Braz's decision not to travel to Bolivia took many fans by surprise, as his presence on Flamengo is considered essential for monitoring and support the team. However, according to internal sources at the club, Braz has been dealing with some personal issues that prevented him from making the trip.
To try to alleviate the situation, president Rodolfo Landim invited Cacau Cotta, director of external relations at Flamengo, for the trip to Bolivia. Landim seeks, with this measure, to mediate the situation between Braz and Cotta, aiming for rapprochement and the resolution of internal conflicts that have been affecting the club's environment.

Flamengo will no longer make signings in 2024, this is what Marcos Braz guarantees. After qualifying for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, this Thursday (12), the vice-president of red-black football gave an interview in the mixed zone of Maracanã and confirmed that the club considered hiring a new striker after Pedro's injury. But the board's final decision is to trust the attackers who are in the squad.
“We believe in the end. There were four hired at the beginning of the year, four now. We raised the hypothesis of bringing in a striker, but we understood, talking to everyone, that it was bringing someone to actually solve it”, began Braz after Flamengo 1 x 0 Bahia.
The manager recalled that Gabigol and Bruno Henrique has already been very decisive with the Sacred Mantle and has all the capacity to take over the top scorer spot. Camisa 27, in fact, was the author of the assist for the winning goal this Thursday.
“Whoever we have here has solved our problem many times, like Gabigol, Bruno 9, as he did today. Flamengo has already closed the window. Let's go with what we have until the end, recovering players. Gabigol returned today.”.
Some attackers were offered after Pedro suffered a serious injury while serving the national team. The name that gained the most traction within Flamengo was that of Frenchman Anthony Martial, formerly of Manchester United, but the deal did not move forward. Now, Marcos Braz confirms that Mengão is no longer on the market.
Flamengo signed this season: De La Cruz, Viña, Léo Ortiz, Carlinhos, Michael, Alex Sandro, Carlos Alcaraz and Gonzalo Plata. Reinforcements that together cost R$298.2 million to the club's coffers.
“It happens in football. Gabriel solved our problems several times and resolved them well. I'm not casting, but there's Bruno Henrique himself, Carlinhos. We are comfortable (with these attackers) for the competitions”, added Braz.
Marcos Braz admits Gabigol's departure from FlamengoGabigol was the main theme of the football vice interview. Asked once again about a possible contract renewal, Braz finally acknowledged that the trend is for Camisa 99 to leave at the end of the season.
“There may be a chance of contract renewal. It’s not impossible, but, unfortunately, it’s unlikely today”, concluded Marcos Braz.
