Part 3/8:
A pressing concern raised during the discussion was Flamengo’s apparent inability to compete seriously for the title in recent years. The club has drifted further away from the championship race, currently trailing behind Palmeiras by ten points. A significant point made was the lack of urgency and commitment from the management to the Brazilian league, as they continuously prioritized cup competitions instead. The analysis pointed out that this trend can be traced back since 2020, with Flamengo surrendering its title ambitions for a series of miscalculations and tactical errors.
