The red-black idol sees the power of Tite's squad, but still believes that some new reinforcements can help the team
|
Flamengo finds itself at a decisive moment and full of expectations for the 2024 season, starting its journey in the Copa Libertadores this Tuesday (02), facing Millonarios (COL) in Bogotá, at the El Campín stadium. This clash marks the beginning of a series of challenges that the team will face in the South American competition, where they will also face Bolívar (BOL) and Palestino (CHI) in Group E.
In addition to focusing on the Libertadores and the second game in the final of the Rio championship, Flamengo has its eyes focused on the future, specifically on the 2025 Club World Cup. Zico, the club's biggest idol, expressed his vision for this preparation, highlighting Flamengo's current strength and credibility in the transfer market.
He suggests that the club should aim high, stating: “Flamengo is very strong at the moment and has a lot of credibility in the (transfer) market. , enough, in my opinion, to go out and try to sign one of the biggest names in world football, especially knowing that he will be in this tournament.” Zico emphasizes the importance of adding a “big name” to the squad, believing that this can significantly improve Flamengo's chances against European teams.
With its classification for Club World Cup 2025 already guaranteed, thanks to winning the Libertadores 2022, Flamengo faces the challenge of preparing for a tournament that promises to be highly competitive, with a new format of 32 teams divided into eight groups . The presence of a world-class player in the squad is seen by Zico as an important differentiator for Flamengo's success in this competition.
In this period of expectation and planning, Zico's words resonate with a sense of optimism and ambition. He concludes his vision for Flamengo's future with the following reflection: “As it already has a strong squad, it would be good to go after a big name, someone who is a level above. The more you strengthen the team, the better the results will be. Therefore, it makes sense to focus all efforts on strengthening the team enough to be able to face a European team.” This focus on strengthening the squad reflects Flamengo's desire to not only compete, but stand out on the international stage, especially as the 2025 Club World Cup approaches.
Flamengo's debut in the Libertadores against Millonarios is not only the start of their campaign in the competition, but also a test of the club's greater ambitions. The match, scheduled to start at 7pm (Brasília time), will be an important moment for Flamengo to demonstrate that it has the best squad in South America.

The Mais Querido idol spoke about the athletes' partnership on the field with the return of number 10
|
Created by Flamengo, Vinícius Júnior is considered one of the best players in the world playing on the left. Another who has also made a name for himself playing for this side is Neymar, who is at Al-Hilal (SAU) and is close to returning to the field after a serious injury. Therefore, the return of number 10 could become a "headache" for Dorival Jr in the Brazilian team. Asked if the two wingers can play together, Zico gave his opinion.
"I don't like comparing players. They are athletes with different characteristics. Neymar has already said what he came for, Vini Jr too, they are spectacular The moment is more favorable to Vinicius, because of the team he plays for, because of Real Madrid's achievements, but he needs to have the same performance for the national team as he has at the club", said Zico, in an interview with the '365 Scores' portal.
"Neymar has already shown this in the national team, unfortunately he had injury problems. In 2018 he had good matches. They are two players who can help a lot. Neymar with the experience, Vini with the skill and speed. Dorival hopes that Neymar will recover well so that he can help our Brazilian team", added Zico.
In addition to preparing For some changes in the Brazilian team, Vini Jr is also having to adapt to the new developments at Real Madrid. That's because the Merengues signed Mbappé. For Zico, the striker can only add to the former Flamengo's football.
"Vini Jr and Rodrygo are among the two best in world football. I hope that success at Real Madrid can be achieved with the Seleção. Mbappé's arrival has everything to improve their quality even further. He is also a spectacular player", said Galinho.
So, after receiving praise from Zico, Vini Jr continues to prepare along with the rest of the Brazilian squad. The striker enters the field this Friday (6), at 10pm, in a game against Ecuador, in Curitiba, for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
