Official reveals player's 'outburst' after Flamengo exit | OneFootball

What did Eduardo Freeland say about his conversation with Athletico-PR goalkeeper Santos?

Current Athletico-PR goalkeeper Santos also had a spell at Flamengo on his résumé. Given that, Eduardo Freeland, the former football director of the Paraná club, revealed behind-the-scenes details of a conversation he had with the player, who recalled his time at Mengo.

— I had a very good conversation with Santos as soon as I arrived at Athletico-PR. I had a long talk with him. And one of the things he confided in me, summarizing what he told me, was this: Flamengo is f*cking tough, working and being a player at Flamengo is not easy —, he stressed, before concluding:

— And he was a champion at Flamengo. The impression I got of Santos is that he has a great command and understanding of Athletico-PR, which I don’t know if he managed to develop over time at Flamengo —, Eduardo Freeland concluded in an interview with ‘Charla Podcast’.

HOW WAS SANTOS’ SPELL AT FLAMENGO?

Santos joined Flamengo in 2022. In his very first year, the goalkeeper won the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores. In 2023, however, the keeper started to face criticism for some performances and lost his place. As a result, in the 2024 season, the player moved to Fortaleza and returned to Athletico-PR in 2025.
