Part 6/8:
Flamengo’s management is under scrutiny as they seemingly prioritize high-profile signings and immediate gratification over nurturing homegrown talent. Specific mentions of bringing in seasoned players, such as Danilo, have raised eyebrows due to the associated costs and questionable return on investment. The consensus is that investing in older players may not be beneficial if they aren’t likely to make significant contributions to the team’s core.
Despite claims that Boto intended to put more focus on youth from his first interview, the trajectory suggests a neglect in this area. By not integrating young players into the strategic vision of the club, the management is risking not only the immediate success of the team but also its long-term viability.
