After going through a period of restructuring and debt settlement, Flamengo is in its best financial and sporting moment. Rubro Negro has been winning titles since 2019, but it wasn’t always like that. Still in 2013, for example, the club was starting to rebuild the financial side. For this, he had to give up great players and high salaries. Former striker Alecsandro arrived at Mais Querido in 2014 and saw a bit of the restructuring.

In an interview with the Jovem Pan Esportes channel, the former player told how his time at Rubro – Negro was, in addition to remembering that former president Bandeira de Mello promised the players that the club’s situation would change, that whoever stayed would see this happen from the inside out. He also commented that if he played in the current team with Arrascaeta, Everton Ribeiro, he would be marked in history.

“At Flamengo I get into a very difficult situation. Moment of restructuring, low salary. Weak team. Weak I say looking today. In terms of a technical level, it was weak. Reformulation, difficulties, we changed inside a container. An interesting thing is that President Bandeira said that we were going to see Flamengo grow. People really saw it. I didn't see much why I left afterwards”, he says.


“If I played with Arrascaeta, Everton Ribeiro… Forget it. I take this difficult situation. I also arrive from Vasco, less than three years ago. I arrive with Hernane Brocador, the crowd's idol. I ended up on the wrong path”, he concludes.

Check out Alecsandro's interview:


At Flamengo without Arrascaeta, Alecsandro scored 32 goals. The squad had Márcio Araújo, Lucas Mugni and Canteros in midfield.

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 CLUB HAS ANOTHER LOSS 

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.

DE LA CRUZ X ARRASCAETA: DO THEY BOTH WORK ON THE SAME TEAM? CHECK OUT THE POSSIBILITIES

Nicolás de la Cruz is the newest member of Flamengo's squad. The Uruguayan player is already preparing to present himself to coach Tite on January 8th, together with his teammates, on the day he 'returns from vacation'. The Red-Negra Nation is in euphoria with the prospect of seeing the former River Plate (ARG) with the Sacred Mantle, but his arrival could disrupt the life of one of the fans' idols.

One of the One thing the Flameguista should note is that, even though the reality where Arrascaeta and De La Cruz are on the same team is incredible, it could result in some complications for the Fla idol. The two occupy the position of midfielders, which makes it difficult to design with both at the coach's disposal.


Since arriving at Mengão, Tite has applied a positional attack at Flamengo, just as he did for the Brazilian team between 2018 and 2022. The formation he chooses to use for this is 3-2-5. In this way, a full-back acts as a "third defender" when passing the ball, opening the field with two fast wingers and dribblers.


De La Cruz may even be good playing on both sides, but he is not known Due to his speed, unlike Everton Ribeiro and Luiz Araújo, he could not 'replace' them.

The other option would be to use Nicolás as a 'playmaker'. During his career, the coach has already used socks as a winger. One of the most successful examples is perhaps Jadson, at Corinthians, in 2015. In these cases, he would let the star work more freely, placing the 'runner' to act in the middle.


Another option would be to place it in the steering wheel position. Gerson and Pulgar already do this job, when Arrascaeta is also on the field, but even Thiago Maia has already had the opportunity to do the job, and could compete for the spot. In this formation, De La Cruz would be more of an articulator than a finisher. At times, the player would have the freedom to invade the area, but the priority would be to help the ball out, as the current duo of midfielders does.

This formation, however, is unlikely. Therefore, the person most at risk is Arrascaeta himself. The two share more characteristics, which would lead to a dispute for the attacking position within the squad. Tite would hardly be able to place the River player in any position other than that of the fans' idol.
