Charly Alcaraz, one of Flamengo's most recent additions, arrives at the club with enthusiasm and a clear vision of how he can contribute to the team. The Argentine midfielder, who already has international experience and knowledge of some of his new teammates, is ready to add value to the red and black squad.
Alcaraz expressed his preference for playing in more advanced positions on the field, highlighting his familiarity with the playing style of Nicolás De La Cruz, a player he knows well from the times when they both played in Argentina. According to Alcaraz, this proximity to De La Cruz can facilitate adaptation and integration within the team, as he already has a good understanding of how the Uruguayan moves on the field. This can be a positive point in the construction of plays and mutual understanding within the four lines, something that can be explored by the coach.
In addition to De La Cruz, Alcaraz also mentioned his prior knowledge of Agustín Rossi, the Flamengo goalkeeper, whom he faced on several occasions during his time in Argentine football. This knowledge, according to Alcaraz, can be a differentiator in terms of understanding and synergy, especially in communication on the field, which is crucial to the success of any team.
Another player mentioned by Alcaraz was Alex Sandro, left-back who currently plays for Juventus. Alcaraz revealed that he had a close relationship with Alex Sandro during his time at Juventus, where the full-back helped him significantly in his adaptation to European football. He reported that, before his transfer to Flamengo, he spoke to Alex Sandro, who gave him positive feedback about the club, describing it as "the biggest in Brazil".
