O Clube de Regatas do Flamengo recently announced that is implementing a broad restructuring of its youth categories. The objective is to further consolidate the club's tradition as one of the greatest creators of talent in Brazilian football, maintaining the legacy of the Rubro-Negro DNA.


PHILOSOPHY AND GAME STANDARDIZATION


One ​​of the main goals of this reformulation is to bring the structure of the youth categories closer to the working model of professional football. The club seeks to ensure vertical integration, which allows for greater uniformity in the development of athletes from the initial categories to the transition to the main squad.


To make this plan viable, the CRF is also implementing modern practices, inspired by the best clubs in the world. The idea is to optimize internal processes, improve technical functions and ensure that the youth squads are aligned with the standards of excellence that guide the club.

FOCUS ON TALENT TRAINING


Historically recognized for revealing great names for national and international football, Mengão wishes to further strengthen this characteristic. With this reformulation, greater efficiency in the training of athletes is expected, promoting opportunities for young promises to be able to shine at a high level.

Another relevant point of this initiative is the adoption of modern management and performance monitoring methods. These tools will help identify talent and closely monitor players' progress, always aiming for constant improvement. Integration between the base and professional team is one of the club's main concerns. This connection seeks to ensure that young athletes understand the culture of Mais Querido from an early age, including technical, tactical and behavioral principles that characterize the CRF.

Palmeiras has made progress in talks to sign Carlos Miguel, currently on his way out of Nottingham Forest, but the deal may take longer than expected. The reason is that the leaked negotiations changed the course of the latest negotiations , causing discomfort between the parties.


The situation is gaining momentum with the possibility of other clubs entering the competition. According to information from GoalBR, Flamengo and Bahia are evaluating the signing . In the case of the Rio de Janeiro club, the board has already expressed interest and is analyzing the feasibility of submitting a formal offer.


CARLOS MIGUEL IS SOUGHT AFTER IN THE MARKET


Standing at 6'4" and a standout performer in his respective competitions, former Corinthians player Carlos Miguel has become one of the most sought-after targets on the market . His profile appeals to clubs looking to bolster their defense with security and experience.

FLAMENGO LOOKS FOR ANOTHER OPTION


Enjoying a strong run in the Brasileirão and advancing in the Libertadores, Flamengo is already making moves behind the scenes to strengthen its squad. The board has prioritized the arrival of a new goalkeeper , especially given the confirmed departure of Matheus Cunha. The goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and will leave the club free of charge at the end of the season.

Despite their confidence in Rossi, Flamengo's board knows they need at least one more high-level goalkeeper on the roster. This time, the team wants to tap the transfer market to replace the Argentine , who has made some mistakes in recent games.

Since the victory over Fluminense on July 20, Flamengo's defense has faced a challenge in the absence of Danilo. The defender has missed six consecutive games, including the Copa do Brasil round of 16, but is showing significant progress in his recovery and is expected to return to training with the squad later this week.


Despite the progress, his participation against Internacional, this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the Libertadores , is ruled out. The technical committee opts for caution, aiming to avoid the risk of new injury.


RETURN IS EXPECTED IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP


The internal expectation is that Danilo will be available for the match against Colorado, valid for the Brazilian Championship, next Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm, at Beira-Rio. If the return is confirmed, the defender's presence will bring more stability to the defensive system and allow strategic rest for Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, who have been playing without rest since his injury.

Without Danilo, the central defender duo has started all six recent games , amassing 540 minutes of unsubstituted play. Their teammate's return is seen as crucial to relieving the strain and offering coach Filipe Luís new options.


FLAMENGO FACED AN INTENSE SEQUENCE

During the period without the defender, Flamengo faced crucial challenges. In addition to the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, which ended in elimination, the team played four Brasileirão matches, winning three and drawing one.
