All this professionalization that we see in Brazilian football began with the example of Flamengo's management, going back to the past in 2010-2011 Vanderlei Luxemburgo decided to take training to "Ninho do Urubu", a training center that would be a training place for young players from club, this place was practically just a piece of land, with precarious accommodation, which is how the idea of having a high-level training center began.
As Flamengo already owned the land, they only had to invest in infrastructure, this made a HUGE difference in attracting good players, as they would now have a European-class training center at their disposal. There where it all began, soon after Bandeira de Melo was elected president and the rest became history...
In short, it all starts from the inside out.
Yes, you are right and if most of the Brazilian team can do the same thing then there is big possibility that the Brazilian competition can really develop for the better because the competition can definitely be more competitive and of course it won't just be dominated by one or two team.
That way, more team will have the opportunity to win the competition and this will of course increase the investment funds that will come in.
However, on average, team do not dare to take steps with the risks involved because for change they need money that must be spent from the start of the improvement process.
I believe that several teams have undergone some changes and I would include Flamengo on that list.
Flamengo is an excellent team, but it is still far from its potential, I see that it is slowly improving (talking about Brasileirao). At the end of the championship of the last year, he had several opportunities to go to 1st place, but that didn't happen and Palmeiras took advantage of the chance and became champions last year.
I also agree, I have no doubt that Palmeiras is the favorite to be champion of the Brasileirao in 2024, but I would include other teams such as Flamengo, which year after year has been improving its performance in the Brasileirao, the other teams are Gremio and Atlético-MG .
Of course, there are other teams that could surprise this year, I would dare to say, Bragantino, and even Internacional, but to have the answer to that, only the future can show us.
But so far there are only few of my team and there are no more than 5 team so it can be said that the Brazilian football competition will indeed be far behind the competitions of European countries, it requires many things for change, one of which is resources which are the most influential support.
I also believe that they have the potential to win this competition, but I want to see later whether there is much better competition than last season or not.
What is clear is that I definitely want there to be big surprise this season even though I have made Palmeiras the most favorite team.
