The hiring of coach Tite was made official by Flamengo last Monday (9) and the coach has already arrived warning of the main objective which is direct classification for the Libertadores 2024. However, there is still hope of being able to dream of the Brazilian Championship title.
There are only 12 rounds left and Flamengo has 44 points and is 11 behind leader Botafogo. Champion for the last time in the competition in 2015, with Corinthians, Tite will have a complicated and difficult mission in this final stretch if the search is also for the competition title.
According to ESPN.com, Tite's last 12 commitments for the Corinthians last time they competed in the Brasileirão with eight wins, three draws and one defeat, gaining 27 points out of 36 games played, which represented a 75% success rate.
It is worth remembering that Corinthians were already leaders of the championship, however, the coach made the team have a successful campaign in the final stretch of 2015. Flamengo is at a disadvantage in the table, only in 5th place with just 44 points.
If Tite repeats the performance he had at Corinthians in 2015, with the Flamengo team, he will finish the competition with 71 points. It is possible to be champion, however, it will be necessary to do the math and hope for a sudden and unlikely fall for Botafogo.
Therefore, for Flamengo to finish the Brasileirão ahead of Botafogo, the Alvinegra team could only score 15 more points out of 36 disputed, reaching 70 points, without tiebreaker criteria, which would make the rival team have a 41.6% advantage in the final stretch.
However, the mission is much more complicated than it seems, if you analyze the retrospective of the leaders of 2015, Tite's last year competing in the Brazilian Championship until the end, from the 26th round to the 38th. Only on two occasions did the team that was at the top at the current stage of the competition lose the cup. Therefore, the new commander of Mais Querido will have a difficult but not impossible mission.

Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
