326 Million! Flamengo has a new management model to overcome the "crisis" at the club - Understand
Journalist also says that Mengão did not deserve to win in his Brasileirão debut

The game against Atlético-GO was a great Uruguayan goal, but from Nico de la Cruz. Arrascaeta had another lackluster performance, at least in the opinion of journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira. The star failed to produce in the difficult 2-1 victory, away from home, last Sunday (14).
For Mauro Cezar, it wasn't Arrascaeta's first bad game, who has been putting up poor performances in recent matches for Flamengo. The journalist's criticism during Posse de Bola, at Uol, was heavy.
“Arrascaeta's poor performance must also be noted. There are games he is playing very badly. But really bad. The acting was terrible, a deplorable thing. Even with the advantage at the end of the game of 11 against ten”, says Mauro.
In addition, Mauro Cezar also criticized Tite's moves and weighed his hand when talking about Flamengo's performance at Serra Dourada. The commentator believes that the coach will make changes after a long sequence using the starters.
“At the end of the game, he puts on Carlinhos and takes off the defender. The defense becomes a big mess. Total disorganization. Flamengo played a very bad game. He didn't deserve to win, regardless of the refereeing. I imagine him making changes for Wednesday, against São Paulo. He will not criticize the team at the press conference. But he must make some changes”, he comments.
Flamengo's next game, against São Paulo, is at MaracanãThe game that Mauro says could have Tite's changes, it is against São Paulo, in the first which takes place at Maracanã in Brasileirão 2024. For the second round, Mais Querido tries to reach six points. The game takes place on Wednesday (17), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
Tite has some options for changes. Léo Ortiz has now arrived and only played one game. In other words, without wear and tear, being able to spare one of the defenders for another of the same level. Varela could return to right-back, as he was left out of the last match due to fever.
Gerson is also an option, as he returned after fully recovering from kidney surgery. Lorran has been well evaluated and is also an option. But possible changes will still be observed by Tite and it is still too early to provide a probable lineup, as the team is still training for the event.

Football vice Marcos Braz confirms that he will talk to Mengão coach

With the final stretch of the 2024 season approaching, Flamengo faces an important challenge after the injury to Pedro, who suffered a ruptured ligament in his left knee. The club's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, stated in an interview with "Fla TV" that he will discuss with coach Tite and his committee the possibility of seeking a new reinforcement to make up for the striker's absence.
The Flamengo see you next time Tuesday (stipulated deadline) to regularize any player who may play for the team this season. However, the options available are limited, as only athletes without a contract can be signed outside the transfer window. Braz highlighted the difficulties in finding suitable names on the market.
"The window is practically over, and the restrictions are enormous in making a signing at this time. After the window closes, it is only possible to sign players who were already without a contract before closing. This greatly reduces the options", explained the manager.
Despite speculation about possible hiring, Marcos Braz highlighted that The red and black squad already has alternatives for the position. Flamengo has, in addition to Gabigol, who must take responsibility in the attack, other players who can perform the role, such as Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique, who can also be improvised as a center forward.
"We have three players who can play in this position. Gabigol has always solved our problems, we have Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique, who can play the role of 9. We will analyze calmly until Tuesday and decide what is best for Flamengo", concluded Braz.
The council finds its hands tied in negotiations

Pedro's injury was a hard blow for the team, not only because of the impact on performance on the field, but also because of what it means behind the scenes. With a deep and talented cast, Flamengo tends to maintain its competitive level even with absences, thanks to a full bench. However, Pedro's departure raises the question of how the club will fill this gap.
Rumors about possible international reinforcements began to circulate quickly, with names like Memphis Depay, Martial and Mariano Díaz gaining prominence in the press. However, Flamengo's board is taking a cautious approach. According to information from UOL, two main factors are guiding the club's strategy: the performance of the players already available and the budget situation.
Firstly, Flamengo is evaluating the ability of its current players to cover Pedro's absence. Among the possible replacements, Gabigol, Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos are mentioned as viable options. These players have a history of good performance and familiarity with the style of play Flamengo, which could facilitate adaptation and minimize the impact of Pedro's injury.
In addition, the club's financial situation is a crucial point in the decision. With more than R$329 million invested in recent signings, Flamengo has already committed a significant part of its budget. This amount is just a little below the R$360.9 million spent in 2019, when President Rodolfo Landim made large investments. The high financial burden of previous signings implies a more restrictive management of available resources.
Flamengo's board also faces difficulties in relation to the sale of players, which further impacts the budget. Negotiations for transfers of Wesley and Fabrício Bruno did not progress as expected, resulting in a lower than desired performance in player sales. This limits the club's ability to invest in new reinforcements, especially in a competitive market.
