Indiscipline and pressure from Esquerdinha's staff motivated sale to England "Esquerdinha had that opportunity last year in the Libertadores, he ended up failing. Then he stayed there for a while out of the team, even to preserve the athlete. Okay, he didn't have another chance. This year he starts competing, being part of the group that started the Carioca Championship. And at first he is out, he becomes Rafael Monteiro's backup, when the expectation was the opposite. That he would be a starter. If I'm not mistaken, before or after the second game (of the season), Esquerdinha even made a post on social media. Kind of complaining that he was being Rafael Monteiro's backup. This is no longer bad internally at the club. And then when the groups came together, in the pre-season, group 1 and group 2, that is, the main group took the reins from then on, including the coaching staff of the first team. Then there was the joining of groups of players who would not be part of the first team at first. Those who are from Xerém, would return to Xerém, the overage players would be negotiated and loaned like João Neto, for example, who was announced yesterday by Portimonense, from Portugal, that he is no longer old enough to vote in the U-20. Another thing, we will not have a Brazilian championship for aspirants (under-23). The CBF will not hold the edition of the tournament. You have to negotiate this or the guy will stay leaning there. Esquerdinha is 18 years old, that is, he is old enough to return to Xerém and play at the base.
"What did Fluminense do? She informed him that he would return to Xerém. Because at first I would no longer train with the main group. Behold, Esquerdinha refused to return to Xerém. He did not accept to return to Xerém. And just like his staff, he said he wouldn't go back there. And there were at least two or three activities missing, three training sessions, at least. In other words, he committed an obviously serious act of indiscipline. Fluminense, obviously, took action to resolve the situation. And the player's staff said, if he doesn't play professionally, he'll play somewhere else. Because for Xerém, he will not return. And then, the information that we found out from the Jornada team. Me, Cauã Tinoco and Gabriel Amaral. Cauã arrived with this information, I confirmed it, I'm adding others. Yesterday we, finally, Cauã brought me some news, we ran after it to confirm and to find out. And then, the businessmen put Fluminense on the wall. They even threatened to make a legal maneuver to remove Esquerdinha from Fluminense.
"In view of this and other disciplinary problems that Esquerdinha had already presented, the player's staff arrived with this proposal from Queens Park Rangers that Gabriel Amaral then determined the values: 600 thousand euros for 60% of the player. Fluminense took 40% of Esquerdinha and received about 3.5 million reais to make this negotiation. If he works out there, Fluminense has 40% in a future sale. The club understands that it has to make this decision because there would be no other solution - concluded Lessa.
Fluminense has sold left-back João Henrique, better known as Esquerdinha, aged 18, to Queen Park Rangers (QPR), in England. Clubs are already exchanging documents to seal the agreement this Thursday.
Got to think of the lettering on shirt sales...........
A bit more form the site:
One of the academy's great recent promises, the player has already received some professional opportunities at the club, even though he is still very young. His debut took place in May 2023, in a 1-0 defeat to The Strongest-BOL, in a match valid for the Libertadores.
The tendency was for Esquerdinha to gradually gain space. Last season they had a good run, participating in five consecutive matches. However, he returned to the under-20s and played for the under-23s at the end of 2024. At the beginning of the Carioca Championship, he played for just 23 minutes in the duels played by the "alternative team".
Fluminense currently has two options for left-back. With the departure of Marcelo, at the end of last season, and Diogo Barbosa, who transferred to Fortaleza in this transfer window, Gabriel Fuentes and Renê — recently hired — are the names in the position.
No contest, as it would be Cook and JCS. The next problem would be who makes the bench? Would you need all 3 on the bench of Edwards, Morrison and Fox? I would say Fox has to be one as cover for left back and left sided centre half.
Have to say, I don't understand the sub we keep doing with Ashby coming on for Smyth. Maybe if Smyth was on a yellow and he was getting close to a second, but its a head scratcher for me.
Great win. Fantastic goal to win it, so pleased for Saito. Lloyd changed the game for us when he came on. Their centre backs got bullied. Just hope we don't go overboard with expectations on getting into the top 6. Lets get to 50 points as soon as we can and see where we can go from there.
