Do you have your favorite @rdluffy? Even though I'm a Flamengo fan, I still don't have much faith in the team for the beginning of the year. There have been many changes in the club's management and I still can't tell if this will affect the team's performance... even the doctor was fired, after 23 years at the club... they hired the legendary José Luiz Runco to lead... many, many changes...
I'm very doubtful this time, even the odds are pretty even, reflecting the current situation
As you said yourself, Flamengo are going to change a lot, and they probably won't be ready yet
But... there's always a but...
If coach Artur Jorge and Luiz Henrique leave, it will be two big losses for the Botafogo team, and could leave the situation equal or even disadvantageous
We saw what happened in 2023 when Botafogo changed coach and lost a championship that was practically won
If Botafogo want to maintain their level and even have a good Club World Cup, they should keep their coach and Luiz Henrique, who was practically the best, or top 3 players who helped the team win titles
