Technical manager of the Brazilian National Team since 2022, Juan, a former player trained in the youth ranks of Flamengo, gave an interview to the SporTV channel and detailed his work behind the scenes at the Brazilian Football Confederation. The former defender, who is now a member of the CBF committee, works directly in the process of structuring data and observing athletes, providing support to the future commander of the national team.
According to Juan, the preparation involves extensive work on performance analysis and database updates. "Here in Brazil, we go to the stadiums. In Europe, we do it via video," explained the director. The goal is to provide the new coach with as much information as possible, optimizing the decision-making process regarding call-ups and tactical strategies . It is worth remembering that, as the national team is without a coach, the former Flamengo player should be responsible for sending the list of 50 names for the team's next match.
The CBF is keeping its focus on big names in international football to lead the national team. Carlo Ancelotti remains the main target , but Jorge Jesus, currently at Al-Hilal and with a notable stint at Flamengo , is seen as a viable alternative. The Portuguese player remains on the radar of CBF president Ednaldo Rodrigues, despite some resistance from figures linked to the national team, such as Neymar's father.
Another name being considered is Abel Ferreira, the current coach of Palmeiras. However, the task of removing him from the São Paulo club is considered complex . Despite his good work leading the green and white team, the Portuguese coach remains focused on the current project, which makes his release unlikely in the short term, according to sources close to the entity.
Before taking on the role at the CBF, Juan already played the same role in Flamengo 's football department. Since his retirement in 2019, the former defender has been working directly in sports management. The knowledge acquired on and off the field now contributes to the technical planning of the National Team, which seeks to regain its leading role on the world stage.

Flamengo will have almost full strength in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores , this Wednesday (20), against Internacional, at the Beira-Rio Stadium. The only confirmed absence is midfielder Erick Pulgar, who remains in the medical department and is not fit to play.
Pulgar had been an important player in Mais Querido 's midfield, but he won't be available. Other than that, all the other players are available to the coaching staff, which guarantees good lineup options and changes throughout the match.
The expectation is that Filipe Luís will send the following formation onto the field: Agustín Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique (Pedro).
Coach Roher Machado's international squad should have: Rochet; Aguirre, Vitão, Juninho and Bernabei; Thiago Maia, Alan Rodríguez, Alan Patrick, Bruno Tabata (Carbonero) and Wesley; Ricardo Mathias.
CONMEBOL announced that Uruguayan referee Esteban Ostojich will officiate. He is one of the most experienced referees in the organization, having already been involved in decisive Libertadores matches , and will officiate another important duel in South American football.

CONMEBOL announced this week that Uruguayan referee Esteban Ostojich will officiate the match between Flamengo and Internacional , the second leg of the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 , at Beira-Rio Stadium. He is considered one of the most experienced referees in South America and has already been involved in important decisions in the organization's tournaments.
In this edition of the tournament, Ostojich has already officiated in seven matches, being selected in key matches . The referee is frequently chosen for Brazilian club matches, reinforcing his position of trust within CONMEBOL.
Ostojich has refereed four matches involving Flamengo , with a balanced record: two wins, one draw, and one loss. In 2021, he was present for the 3-2 victory over LDU. The following year, he oversaw Corinthians' 1-0 triumph. In 2023, he officiated the 1-1 draw against Ñublense, and in 2024, he refereed the defeat to Palestino, which was marked by refereeing controversy.
Internacional has also been led by the Uruguayan in decisive moments. The most recent example came in the 2023 Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, when the Rio Grande do Sul team defeated Bolívar 2-0 at Beira-Rio . This positive record boosts Colorado's confidence for the decisive clash against Mengão.
For the duel, the expectation is that coach Filipe Luís will maintain the following starting lineup: Agustín Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique (Pedro).
