Match ended with zero goals, but with a lot of criticism of referee Rodrigo Pereira
|
Criticized for tearing up the game between Palmeiras and Flamengoand being quite punitive, referee Rodrigo Jose Pereira (FIFA-PE) did not record in the summary the spit that Tite claims to have suffered from the local fans at Allianz Parque . The document, in fact, did not record any unusual occurrence.
Images did not show the moment of the spitting, but it was a topic addressed by Tite in his post-game press conference. The Flamengo coach seemed very uncomfortable with the situation, which he called “a big deal”.
“My activity as a coach is quite exposed. I have to put up with insults during the game, but spitting is very ugly. I had to clear my head. We think that anything can be done in football, but we have to think about the example we are setting. It was full of children in the place where the spitting came from”, accused Tite.
In addition, red-negro commander remembered his past at the club to demand respect. He also mentioned Cesar Sampaio, who was also a historic midfielder for Palmeiras.
“I was here and helped save Palmeiras from relegation. Cesar Sampaio has a huge story here. Today he is on the other side, but he must be respected.”
Ao Throughout the 90 minutes, referee Rodrigo Pereira committed an incredible 37 fouls (14 from Flamengo and 23 from Palmeiras), in addition to handing out 11 yellow cards (five to Mais Querido and six to alviverde). Most of them were normal game contacts. The Pernambuco native also demonstrated a lack of discretion in several moves.
Bad refereeing was also cited by Tite. The coach demanded: “the refereeing had to be at a better level”. It is worth remembering that he was booked and, according to the summary of the duel between Flamengo and Palmeiras, for “disapproving with words or gestures the decisions of the referee”.
Despite the accusation of spitting by Tite, the duel There were no major controversies.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
