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.




RESPONSIBILITY IN HIRING

< When asked about the budget for a possible new signing, Spindel highlighted the club's financial responsibility. “We have three more center forwards available to Tite. Flamengo is always attentive to the market. As soon as the news about Pedro's injury came out, we received countless calls from agents offering players. However, the issue of financial resources is something that we treat with great caution and conservatism", he stated.


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.


FOCUS ON ALL COMPETITIONS< /b>

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.


NEW REINFORCEMENTS IN THE CAST< /p>

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.

Flamengo ended the 2024 season by winning the Copa do Brasil, under the command of Filipe Luís . However, despite the title, some players faced criticism from the fans due to their performance below expectations. Among the targets of criticism was midfielder Allan , who received a vote of confidence from the red-black board to focus on the club's new phase.


According to information from journalist André Rizek, from SporTV, Mais Querido's directors met with Allan to emphasize the need to forget the past and keep full attention on the present and the future. During the conversation, the club emphasized that the midfielder should not feel pressured by the amount invested in the signing and that the confidence in him remains.


Let's start over, it's from here on out..."


— There is an internal effort with Allan to tell him: “Forget the past. What happened is happened. Let’s start over , it’s from here on out. Forget how much you cost. We trust you.” However, he has not yet been able to give the expected answer. Internally, they are trying to make him justify the reason why the club paid the termination fee to Atlético-MG — Rizek said on SporTV.

INVESTMENT IN ALLAN
The midfielder was announced by Flamengo on July 2, 2023, at the request of then coach Jorge Sampaoli. To complete the transfer with Atlético-MG, the board paid 8.2 million euros (around R$43.1 million at the exchange rate at the time). The expectation was that Allan would maintain the high level of performance he had shown at the Minas Gerais club.
FANS' EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER'S FUTURE AT THE CLUB


With an irregular start at Flamengo , Allan was the target of criticism from the Rubro-Negra Nation, even having his name questioned at the end of last season. Now, with a new coaching staff and support from the board, the player has the opportunity to regain prestige and justify the trust placed in him by the club.
