– It’s not true (which is out of my plans). No one or mentioned Victor Hugo’s name to me. I played with him, I like him, it’s a sock who doesn’t lose the ball. He was the holder of Flamengo with Sampaoli, lost space in 2024 and chose to leave. I give an opinion on the casting of the cast, but it is not mine (decision). If tomorrow the Boto wants to bring Haaland, he can bring not talking to me. They can listen to me, but the cast assembly is always from the board. In the case of Victor Hugo, it is not true (which is out of the plans). Of course there will be reinforcements, players who will come to help, others who are not having space will leave, this is the football cycle. The important thing is that we have a well -compensated cast in all positions.
