Rodrigo Caio is hanging on by a thread! The defender who was very important for the team during the historic year of 2019, now sees his cycle at Flamengo over. However, he is trying to turn things around to attract new proposals. The defender suffered from several injuries during his time at Mais Querido and had difficulty returning to good football.
This season, Rodrigo Caio was little used and was on the bench, constantly being the last option among the defenders. The athlete understands that the cycle with the Rio club has ended, according to the newspaper O Globo, but he seeks to show, at the end of the season, that he can still play at a high level.
While on the one hand the The athlete has no offers from other clubs to play next season, Flamengo representatives also did not approach him with any renewal offer. The defender's intention is to gain opportunities with Tite to, perhaps, attract new proposals.
The coach does not seem opposed to this, but has not yet decided to use him. However, last Sunday (22), after the 1-0 victory over Vasco, he brought his physical trainer, Fábio Mahseredjian, to the Press Conference, who spoke about the defender's condition.
''We arrived here approximately 15 days ago, almost 20. Rodrigo has been training very well. Very good. He is fully recovered, which is why he was on the bench. He's ready to play, he's been training, he does everything other athletes do,'' said Mahseredjian
''He's really an athlete, he's not a football player, he's an athlete. of football. Deserving of playing. Tite will decide the time, but he certainly makes us happy with his commitment and his health - said the physical trainer.'', he concluded.
With all that said, Tite still made a joke, implying that he would have to test the star's abilities: "You saw that the pressure is not just on you. Now he also put pressure on me to climb." With laughter throughout the room, Fábio even gave the rejoinder, adding more fuel to the fire: "If it were me, I would already add it, but it's up to you to decide."
Rodrigo Caio's contract with the team ends in December 2023.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.
This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.
The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.
Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.
Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.
A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.
The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.

At the end of the 2023 season, Flamengo did not reach a renewal agreement with Rodrigo Caio, thus ending the cycle of a successful player within the club. During his time at Mengo, the "Sheriff" lifted the 2019 and 2022 Libertadores cups, the 2019 and 2020 Brazilian Cups, the 2022 Copa do Brasil, and the 2020 Recopa Sul-Americana, in addition to two Brazilian Super Cups (2020 and 2021 ) and three Cariocas (2019, 2020 and 2021).
In June, Grêmio announced the signing of the 30-year-old defender, with Rodrigo Caio reuniting with Renato Gaúcho, who led Flamengo for a large part of the 2021 season. The defender signed a productivity contract with Grêmio until December 2024, but his little use raises doubts about a possible renewal.
So far, Rodrigo Caio has been listed in just seven Brasileirão games for Grêmio, without being a starter in any of them. His only opportunity on the field was against Palmeiras, in the 14th round, where he came on in the 28th minute of the second half, acting improvised in place of Cristaldo.
A little hope for an extension of the link with Grêmio is due to the fact that Renato Gaúcho rotates the defense, but only uses Geromel, Kannemann, Rodrigo Ely and the young Gustavo Martins. This has further limited Rodrigo Caio's chances of establishing himself in the Tricolor Gaúcho starting lineup.
Perhaps a new opportunity will arise for the defender in the Grêmio game this Sunday (14), against Operário, in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. The match will take place at 11 am (Brasília time), at the Centenário Stadium, and could be a chance for Rodrigo Caio to show his value and seek more space in the Grêmio squad.
