Wesley, young right-back from Flamengo, has been looking for alternatives to improve his performance and gain space in the team. To achieve this, he adopted a more professional and judicious approach off the field. He hired a private physiotherapist and a personal performance analyst, with the aim of correcting his deficiencies and improving his qualities on the field. These measures are part of an effort to enhance their physical and technical development, in line with the demands of the high level of competitions in which Flamengo participates.
According to the GE, the hiring of the private physiotherapist reflects the concern of Wesley in maintaining his physical shape and avoiding injuries, something that could be crucial to establishing himself in the squad. The measure aims not only at prevention, but also at accelerated recovery in the event of any problems, allowing the athlete to be available and in ideal conditions to play in matches. This personal care demonstrates the player's determination to maximize his potential and always be available to the coach.
THE LATERAL HAS HIS PLANNING
In addition to the physiotherapist, the player also brought a performance analyst to his team. This professional is responsible for studying Wesley's performances, identifying points for improvement and highlighting his main virtues on the field. Detailed analysis of plays, positioning and behavior during games helps Wesley have a clearer understanding of his tactical and technical roles. This type of specialized support has become common among high-level players, and Wesley seems determined to use all available tools to improve.
Another important point in the full-back's preparation is the mentoring he has received from Guilherme Siqueira, former left-back who had a distinguished career in European football. Siqueira's experience has been valuable for Wesley, which has been guided on tactical and technical issues. Mentoring includes practical advice on positioning, reading the game and making decisions on the field. This guidance is an important differentiator for Wesley, as Siqueira's experience in major leagues can be a crucial factor in the development of a young player looking to establish himself at a high-level club like Flamengo.

Vitória is preparing for a challenging clash in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The Bahian team faces Flamengo this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Despite the two teams' different moments in the table, striker Osvaldo showed confidence in seeking a good result in Rio de Janeiro.
"We're going to Maracanã and trying to play a great game. We haven't lost at Maracanã in a few games, so I think we can build on that to put in a great performance. Flamengo is a tough opponent; they're the best team in our football world , and they've been achieving great results," the striker declared, before adding:
"But on the field, it's 11 against 11, especially against Vitória, who have a history of playing great games and surprising in several matches. I think we have what it takes to get there and get a great result . We know how difficult the game will be," Osvaldo concluded.
Flamengo takes the field to defend its sole lead in the Brasileirão , with 43 points. Filipe Luís's team is enjoying an excellent run of form , having gone six games unbeaten in the competition.
In addition to a solid run in the national championship, the Rio de Janeiro team secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores last week by eliminating Internacional. Prior to that, they had already beaten the same opponent 3-1 at Beira-Rio, cementing their good run.
Athletes are one card away from suspension and may miss the team's next game against Grêmio in the next round of the Brazilian Championship.

Flamengo's upcoming match against Vitória raises alarm bells for Filipe Luís. Three players on the squad are suspended and risk suspension for the next match against Grêmio if they receive another yellow card this round.
Among those suspended, two are regular starters in defense: Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz. Both have two yellow cards and, if cautioned again, will be out for the remainder of the competition.
The red-and-black coach may have a difficult time building a defense. Danilo, recently recovered, emerges as an immediate alternative if one of the starting center-backs is penalized . However, if both receive cards against Vitória, Filipe Luís may resort to a player from the youth academy to form the defense alongside Danilo.
In addition to the defense, defensive midfielder Allan is also suspended, but the situation is less of a concern for the coaching staff . With Erick Pulgar injured, Allan had been gaining minutes, but lost his place after the emergence of Saúl, who is expected to continue as a starter alongside Jorginho. Even if Allan receives his third yellow card, the Jorginho-Saúl duo is likely to be kept for the match against Grêmio.
Flamengo, the sole leader of the Brazilian Championship with 43 points, is enjoying a positive run. The team is six games unbeaten in Série A and secured its place in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores last week by eliminating Internacional. Prior to that, they defeated the same opponent 3-1 at Beira-Rio Stadium, reinforcing their positive momentum under Filipe Luís.
The duel for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship will be this Monday (25), at 9 pm, with a Minas Gerais refereeing team commanding the match at Maracanã
