Part 5/8:
The value of young players extends beyond simple metrics and contract figures. A player’s integration into a team, especially one as dynamic as Flamengo, requires time and tactical nurturing. The assumption that Alcaraz would not thrive under the current management fails to acknowledge potential player adaptation. Coaches and directors need flexibility in their strategies and an understanding of their players' strengths.
Much debate exists in terms of whether it’s viable for a club, especially one with the stature of Flamengo, to not only adapt to the coach's philosophy but also to evolve the philosophy according to available players. This experimentation is crucial, particularly in cases of young talents like Alcaraz who deserve a chance to make an impactful development.
