Part 2/8:
In a recent interview segment on Jovem Pan, Boto articulated the primary area of concern is the center-back position. With only three defenders presently listed in the squad—Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Cleiton—the reliance on these players has become untenable, particularly in view of Bruno's exit to Cruzeiro, a move prompted by his reduced playing time and a mutual desire for a change in scenery. Additionally, the departure of veteran David Luiz has accentuated the need for experienced defensive options.
