Bet on the base of the Brazilian champion squad
Despite thinking about reinforcements, Flamengo trusts the group that remains in Gávea for the second half of the year.

If Flamengo fans analyze, player by player, the group that won the Brazilian championship in 2009 compared to the one currently playing at Gávea, they'll see that the differences are few. Fundamental, it's true, like Adriano's departure, for example, but still, few. Therefore, despite considering reinforcements, the red-and-blacks are banking on the backbone of last year's team to repeat their success in 2010.
A core team comprised of Bruno, Leo Moura, David, Ronaldo Angelim, Juan, Toró, Willians, Kleberson, and Petkovic, for example. Nine players are from the team that took the field against Grêmio in the final round of the 2009 Brasileirão, when the team defeated the Gauchos 2-1 and won their sixth consecutive championship. Only the attack has no remaining players.
"We have a base, with Bruno, Leo, Angelim, Juan, Maldonado, Willians, myself... what's missing is the attack. We lost the attack from last year. Imperador, Emerson, Zé Roberto... If we can sign the three or four players we need, we'll be able to fight for the top of the table again," analyzed Serbian Petkovic.
For the supporter, Flamengo's squad has quality, but some replacement parts will be important to compete in the Brazilian Championship, which has already proven to be a tough competition that favors teams with homogeneous groups.
"We need a few more players to have a strong squad, because the championship is long. We need replacements. We've only played seven games and we still have a lot to do," he added.
