PEDRO IS ISOLATED IN THE BRAZILIAN ARTILLERY AFTER SCORING IN THE DUEL BETWEEN FLAMENGO X AMAZONAS

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.

The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN THE ELECTIONS

During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term. 

Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.

Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.

In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.

FLAMENGO HAS "WORRIES" AT THE MOMENT

The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement. 

In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.

The cast of Flamengo completed the third day of preparation for the game against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. This Saturday's activities (07) were led by coach Tite, who chose not to define starting or reserve teams during collective training. The strategy adopted was to use the session for tests and observations, aiming to adjust the team and analyze the options available for the next appointment.

The coach, whose characteristic is detailed work, took the opportunity to do several tactical variations and evaluate the performance of players in different positions. With the tight schedule, Tite has been looking for alternatives to keep the squad competitive amid the various competitions that the club competes in. The decision not to form defined teams indicates that he is looking for solutions for possible changes to the team, whether due to physical issues, suspensions or injuries.

FLAMENGO SUFFERS WITH INJURIES

Another relevant point of this training was the chance to observe the athletes' behavior on the field without the pressure of a previously established structure. Tite, known for his thorough analysis and focus on collective behavior, believes this approach offers a clearer view of how players may react in different game situations. Thus, the absence of a clear separation between starters and reserves allowed for a more flexible dynamic, allowing everyone the chance to show their value under more balanced conditions.

These tests are especially important, considering that the< a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/bastidores-pegando-fogo-antigos-members-do-conselho-podem-atuar-novamente-pelo-flamengo?" target="_blank"> Flamengo has faced injury problems throughout the season. The club's medical department is working intensely to recover essential players for the squad, and the technical committee knows that it will be necessary to have the entire group available to remain competitive in the final stages of the Copa do Brasil and the Brazilian Championship.

< With the game against Bahia approaching, the observations made in training should directly influence Tite's choices for the match. The coach is attentive to the physical conditions of the players, as the sequence of games requires an effective rotation to avoid excessive wear and tear on the main names in the squad. So, even without defining a starting team in training, Flamengo can already be expected to enter the field with some strategic changes.
