The competition for a place in the starting team is fierce, but the confidence in the talents at the base is evident. Management is determined to provide the necessary support for these young talents to reach their full potential.

The return of Matheus Gonçalves and Thiaguinho to Flamengo also adds depth to the squad, allowing coach Tite to have more tactical options and strategies to face next season's competitions, including the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores.

The pre-season will be crucial for the integration of players back into the group and for them to become familiar with the philosophy of Flamengo game under Tite's command. The expectation is that healthy competition for positions in the team will contribute to raising the level of performance of the team as a whole.

Flamengo fans are also looking forward to seeing Matheus Gonçalves and Thiaguinho back at Maracanã, representing the club at heart. The support of the fans can be a determining factor for the success of these young athletes and for the team's overall performance in the season.
