Amid the celebration of Flamengo’s Rio de Janeiro state title, Varela praised the way the team managed to adapt even in the midst of a change in management. He acknowledged that he is used to challenging moments.

“Flamengo is madness”

“Flamengo is madness, the things that happen at the club surprise me a little. In 2022 I went through something similar. One thing I’ve learned here is that you have to be prepared for anything,” he said to Premiere channel.

The Uruguayan also gave his opinion on the measure imposed by Leonardo Jardim. The coach required the players to stay in camp before the final of the Campeonato Carioca, which the Rubro-Negro won after beating Fluminense on penalties.

“We weren’t used to staying in camp, but the idea wasn’t optional. We adapted, we’re prepared, and for example Leonardo Jardim didn’t want to change much. It was a tough week. This week he’s going to show his ideas,” he said.
