"We need to be more solid at the back, and Alex's experience is essential for that," said the coach after the last match. Since joining Flamengo, Alex Sandro has proven to be a leader in defense, helping to organize the backline with his experience in major competitions.

He has played in various European leagues and brings valuable knowledge to the red-and-black squad. In the match against Internacional, for instance, Alex demonstrated his worth with precise tackles and good positioning. His ability to read the game is an asset Flamengo needs to compete for titles this season.

his skill in building from the back and contributing to attack adds an extra dimension to Flamengo's playing style. Fans react to every well-executed play by Alex, and he, aware of this, has been giving his all on the pitch.
