    100% amazingly enough. He is pretty good, but I'm always skeptical of any of our youth players. But he deserves the hype from his youth performances. Zé Ricardo just said he's going to be brought up to the professional squad for the Brasileirão. I hope he's handled properly.

    Saw some videos. Some pretty good plays some show he is obviously 16. He is a bit lanky.

    You'd think Ze Ricardo is the second coming of Tite with the way the media talks about him. This is exactly why I'm critical of him -- he's overhyped by the media and some of the fanbase.





    This Carioca win honestly didn't feel like a real win because of how FERJ screwed the format. We didn't win the Taca Guanabara or Rio. yet we won the finals. In any other year, we wouldn't be playing the final. I don't see the point of having a Taca Guanabara or Rio if it's virtually meaningless.

    The format was trash this year , damn near need a bachelors degree to figure it out especially if you are following other state championships. I give ze a ton of credit tho , one of my main complaints with flamengo managers in the past was lack of evolution from January to the end of the states. Ze has done that and with a pretty deep roster he knows his best 11 which is something that was Always a huge issue. And when he fools around with the lineup , x cap in Maracanã it actually makes sense and works. The standard is set so low I don't blame people for over hyping him.

    And the format sucks but beating flu over two legs is something to feel good about. They were one of the better teams I've seen during the states, insanely explosive.

    Yeah, Flu is legit. But we caught some breaks. In the first game, Renato Chaves served us up on a platter. And the second goal yesterday came off taking advantage of Flu's desperation. We also didn't see the best Flu over the course of both legs. They were pretty sloppy IMO compared to previous performances and they were missing Scarpa probably more than we miss Diego.

    Vitinho is balling in Russia with 6 goals and assist since the start of this year, yet Fla went and spent big on a Colombian poor man's Cirino.

    With the money from Vinicius Jr. should cover part of Alves transfer fee.

    Destroyed the youth divisions at a younger age than the limit. I'm also skeptical of the hype. It's the right move to capitalize now and get our money given or history of developing failures. But my dream would have been to get Neymar type of return on the field rather than the money. Who knows if that happens in the next 10-15 years lol.

    Did I see flamengo fans booing because Vinicius jr wasn't put into the game ?? Pathetic if that was the reason why.

    People are finally questioning Zé. I felt like I was the only one standing up talking about how he's overrated. People are complaining about what's been happening since last year. The only difference is it's been compounded by an elimination and mediocre results. If there was a top of the line guy out there, I'd go grab him.

    I agree but I'd fear who they'd bring in. Dorival is out there tho lol but I doubt flamengo fans have forgotten that first stint.

    If we lose to Sport, that does it for me. I'd be all for Dorival, but like you said, I doubt there are many Dorival fans like me in the fan base.

    Everton Ribeiro is official. Rhodolfo is very close and Geuvanio may be coming.

    Who wants to try to pump me up about these signings because I'm skeptical?

    How many players do you guys need ? At times it's easy to forget people like conca and Ederson are still on the roster.

    We saw conca bitching yesterday , Everton ribeiro probably isn't even better than Conca if we really break it down. And you guys got volantes for days and a pretty deep squad , I'm not seeing the constant need to buy players.
