Flamengo continues to strengthen and increase the number of stars in the squad, this makes rivals complain about the disparity of Rubro Negro in football. Coach Jorge Sampaoli, when making the substitutions, has a wide option. That's what happened in the game against Grêmio. This has made rivals distort the situation.
Many speak erroneously of financial fair play in Brazil, which would only favor Flamengo even more, as it would prevent other indebted clubs from reinforcing themselves. Many opponents use the justification that it is not possible to compete that way. However, if Mais Querido has a good and stable financial condition, it was because he knew how to get out of the bad situation, giving up super teams and paying off his debts. Commentator Paulo Massini, from Band Sports commented on the fact and asked Mais Querido's rivals to do the same to try to reach the same level as the club.
“'Ah, no! Gotta do something! How can Pedro, Allan, Cebolinha enter’. How can it not? Let's stop being little kids. Flamengo is where it is because it deserved it. Flamengo did the job it had to do. Do you understand?”
“The others charge their clubs. Don't keep your little finger in your mouth, 'that's not enough, right? You can't compete with these guys'. Like this? Let's wake up there, do as much as possible within your club to compete with Flamengo. Because it's from there for more. It won't get better for those behind, it will only get worse. If you don't have excellence in your work, that gap will only grow”, he comments.
Massini still praised the Mais Querido, saying that if Rubro Negro does it, it's because he can and that he reached a level that allows him to dare.
“How does it decrease or come close? With excellence. In what way? Each will seek their model. In recent years, Palmeiras has done this since 2015, and Atlético MG with one exception. You can't keep crying, if you don't think about punishing those who do the work that has to be done. That can't happen. Flamengo deserves to be where it is. He has money because he worked right. Hire because you can hire. Send the player away and pay termination because he can do it. Others have to think of ways to do the same”, he concludes.
