Petkovic has already left his opinion on what he believes Mais Querido should do to achieve more achievements this year. When asked about his expectations for Flamengo's 2024, during an interview with Metrópoles, Pet was content to say: "Don't repeat the mistakes of 2023", apparently little concerned or impressed with the fact that some reinforcements - and even a new coach - have joined the squad.

"At least he started the year without repeating the mistake: he didn't send the coach away. The first mistake he didn't repeat. He kept Tite. Now, with some changes. Some players leave, others come, which could be It's important, at least that's the intention, especially De la Cruz, but it needs a period of adaptation. You also need to have other players", he added, referring to the 'surprise' dismissal of coach Dorival Júnior before the start of the season. 2023.


This decision, as Pet pointed out, ended up being terrible for the team, which then changed coaches twice more in one year. Vítor Pereira and Sampaoli were huge disappointments, until Tite arrived in October. The former Brazilian team has already agreed with the plans of the red and black board, with the condition that he would be a fundamental player for the year 2024.


"So, I don't think Flamengo will allow itself to luxury of repeating last year's mistakes", concluded the star, an eternal fan idol.

2023: DISAPPOINTING YEAR

The year 2023 was very complex for Flamengo and the Rubro-Negro Nation. If everyone had high expectations, due to the team having won the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil in the previous season (2022), everything started to go down the drain when the athletes were unable to win any of the competitions at the beginning of the year (Recopa Sul-Americana, Brazilian Super Cup, Guanabara Cup and Carioca Championship).

This pattern, unfortunately, was repeated throughout the year, with an early elimination, in the round of 16, in the Libertadores, and runner-up in the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro. There were eight chances and eight defeats in one season, a number never seen before in the team's history.

Flamengo remains in the hiring market. After agreeing on Michael's return, the red-and-black team is now focusing its efforts on signing two full-backs, one right and one left, and a midfielder. For the midfield, the name of the moment in the corridors of Gávea is that of Argentine Carlos Alcaraz, which for former athlete Mancuso is the wrong move.

Mancuso, who played for Flamengo in the 90s, gave an interview to the channel 'Paparazzo Rubro-Negro'. The Argentine said that, despite Alcaraz being a great player, Flamengo needs a midfielder with different characteristics, treating as a priority a reserve for Arrascaeta, comparing the Southampton youngster to another Uruguayan in the Flamengo squad.


“If Flamengo has the wallet, pocket, money, go to the market and hire three or four bombs. You don't need to go to Europe and sign a player for 20 million, 25 million, you have to sign well. They were talking about Alcaraz, it's good, but it's box to box. Same characteristics as De La Cruz. We made the same mistake again.”


Box to Box is an expression in English for the player who goes from one large area to another, the one who attacks and defends with a similar quality. At Mengão, two players are the ones who most present these characteristics, De La Cruz himself and captain Gerson, who has been playing more advanced in the last matches with coach Tite.

Flamengo even agreed to negotiate with Southampton as forwarded for 18 million euros (R$ 108 million) and tried to convince Alcaraz to return to South America, but the English club asked that a young man like Victor Hugo or Iago be included or that the red-black team would increase the offer for 25 million (R$ 150 million) and the business crashed.
