Flamengo presented, on the afternoon of this Thursday (5), left-back Alex Sandro, at Ninho do Urubu. With a long history in European football, the player was hired to reinforce the team after Matías Viña's injury. Alex Sandro expressed his satisfaction in joining the team and expressed great expectation of being able to play for the club soon.
In addition to the player's presentation, the press conference was attended by the executive director of football, Bruno Spindel, who responded about the possibility of new signings to reinforce the red and black squad.
Marcos Braz, Flamengo's vice-president of football, also commented on the search for a new striker. According to him, the club was approached by several intermediaries, but there has still been no progress in any negotiations. "We received calls from around 300 people offering athletes. We are analyzing some options, but any decision will be taken calmly and only if we deem it necessary", declared Braz.
Another topic discussed was Flamengo's strategy in relation to the competitions it is competing in. Spindel reinforced that the club does not intend to prioritize any competition, despite the tight schedule and recent injuries.
"The issue of serious injuries, like those to Viña and Cebolinha, raised an alarm about the impact of the calendar on our players. We had many athletes called up for the Copa América, which contributed to the wear and tear on the squad. Our focus is to fight for all the titles we compete for, without prioritizing any competition", highlighted the director.
In addition to Alex Sandro, Flamengo reinforced its squad with names like Carlos Alcaraz, Gonzalo Plata and Michael. According to Spindel, these signings were made to maintain the team's competitiveness on all fronts. Carioca and now we're going to fight for the titles we still have ahead of us. We want to be alive in all competitions and, who knows, fight for the World Cup at the end of the year", he concluded.
