Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is proud to be world champion, a title coveted by many but achieved by few. On the road to Tokyo, we need to take some important steps, and each player has contributed in some way. In Nunes's case, by finding the net. There's no disregarding his history and his importance in winning the title. With that said, let's look back at last week's events.

First of all, it's important to clarify that, contrary to what was reported in the press, the former player was not at the George Helal Training Center (Ninho do Urubu) during the week of September 02nd to 06th. As everyone knows, he showed up at the training center on January 04th of this year, which makes it strange that the incident was only reported now, eight months later. At the time, he was, in fact, not allowed in. It wasn't disrespectful, but rather an act of maintaining order, the rules, and precepts established when the new management took over. Nunes admitted to the president that he hadn't even been to Vargem Grande and the surrounding area after that date, when he was still participating in club activities through the fan membership program.

The CT access policy stipulates that only people connected to the Football Department may enter the premises. Others can request permission in advance from the board, which did not happen in Nunes's case. It's important to emphasize that this measure aims to grant athletes privacy so they can focus solely on training and preparing for matches. Previously, everyone entered CT GEORGE HELAL - Ninho do Urubu: agents, salespeople, advisors, friends, and others. There was no control, not even on the eve of matches, creating an environment that hindered the players' preparation at such a crucial moment. The new management does not compromise discipline and good organization, always with respect, dignity, and transparency. 

Once again, the board regrets what was published in the media and reiterates its admiration and support for good journalism, in the correct and impartial investigation and dissemination of facts.
