Flamengo bid farewell to the Libertadores this Thursday night (10), Olimpia (PAR) was superior to the Rubro Negra team and managed to come back indoors at the Defensores Del Chaco stadium. After the elimination of Mais Querido, the journalist Pedro Ivo released the verb and pointed out the main culprit of the problems of the Rio team.
For him, the Football Department of the club is the main responsible for everything that has happened.
“Everything at Flamengo becomes a subject to camouflage the club's biggest problem, which is the lack of command. On the eve of a game, Rodolfo Landim needs to go to the training center to understand what is happening. Flamengo professionalized all its departments, except football. They're always looking for a villain, and the main culprit is there, curled up…, but when it's time to present a contract, everyone shows up and even goes to pick it up at the airport”, he said, in an 'ESPN' program.
“ Then everyone becomes a villain. Sampaoli becomes a villain, Gabigol becomes a villain, David Luiz becomes a villain... They also talk about vacation issues. But the vacation was long because the football vice president (Marcos Braz) doesn't have the courage to clash with the squad. They are always looking for a new fact to camouflage Flamengo's biggest problem. And Flamengo's biggest problem is the club's football department”, he concluded.
Flamengo accumulates many setbacks in the current season, in addition to being eliminated in the Copa Libertadores, Rubro Negro failed to win another four titles: Mundial, Supercopa, Recopa and Campeonato Carioca at the beginning of the year. Now there are only two titles to be played, Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão.
After a sequence of games since the Club World Cup, the Mengão squad will finally have consecutive days to rest due to the national team games.

"By the time he left, we were already suffering, struggling to play. Not because of his departure per se, but because of the context of the game , where we were trying more to defend the result than maintain momentum. We ended up suffering even more," concluded Filipe Luís.
