Last Sunday's (22) 4-1 defeat to Botafogo in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship sparked a warning for the continuation of Flamengo's season. In addition to the elastic score, the result brought another negative mark for the Gávea sides.
This was the first time since the Brasileirão switched to the points format so quickly that the red and black team lost both matches of the competition to their rival from General Severiano. From 2003, the year of the change in the format of the dispute, to now, Flamengo has always had at least a draw or a victory against Botafogo. The information is from the portal 'Coluna do Fla'.
In the first round, Flamengo was defeated at Maracanã 2-0 by black and white, with goals from Luiz Henrique and Jefferson Savarino. Last Sunday, the red and black team suffered a 4-1 defeat, with goals from Mateo Ponte, Igor Jesus and Matheus Martins (2). Bruno Henrique scored the only one in favor of Maís Querido. Coincidentally, in the two matches against Botafogo, Arrascaeta left the field injured.
The Flamengo coach also did not escape breaking a taboo. According to journalist Rodrigo Coutinho, this was the first time since September 2013 that a team led by Tite conceded four goals in the same match. At the time, the coach was in charge of Corinthians in the 4-0 defeat to Portuguesa, who were relegated that year.
Flamengo now turns the key and focuses its efforts on the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores against Bolívar, at an altitude of 3640m in La Paz. The red and black team won 2-0 at Maracanã and could lose by up to a goal difference to guarantee classification< /p>

The fans, aware of the difficulty, do not let up and reinforce the idea that support off the field is essential for success on it.

The Flamengo, one of the biggest clubs in Brazilian football, is experiencing a moment of turbulence. The recent defeat to Peñarol, in the middle of Maracanã, by 1-0, during the first game of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, increased even more pressure on coach Tite, who had already been the target of criticism due to his poor performance. expected from the team throughout the season. With club elections scheduled for the end of the year and Tite's contract approaching the end, the coach's renewal is considered unlikely. In this scenario, Luís Castro emerges as one of the main candidates to take over Flamengo's technical command, according to details released behind the scenes.
The match against Peñarol, held last Thursday (19), was a reflection of the difficulties faced by Flamengo this season. The team performed poorly on the field, with few clear chances to score and unable to impose their game against an opponent who knew how to defend themselves well. The substitutions made by Tite throughout the match did not bring the expected impact, and Flamengo ended up being defeated at home, frustrating their fans.
The fans' dissatisfaction was evident during the game, with boos directed at the team at several moments. This behavior was not well received by everyone in the squad, especially goalkeeper Rossi. In an interview after the game, the athlete vented, stating that, during the match, the support of the fans is essential, and that booing only increases the pressure on the players at a crucial moment.
With the defeat for Peñarol, the pressure on Tite increased significantly. Since his arrival at Flamengo, the coach has been facing difficulties implementing his playing style and obtaining consistent results. The team fluctuated in important competitions and was unable to maintain the level of performance expected by a club of Flamengo's size and tradition.
