0Flamengo drew 1-1 with Cuiabá on Saturday night (6), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the unexpected result, Rubro-Negro secured the lead in the competition until the end of the round. After the game, coach Tite analyzed the team's performance.
Flamengo was behind on the scoreboard, but pressed throughout the game, managing to equalize with a goal from Pedro. However, the team was unable to break through Cuiabá's defensive block to turn the match around. A highlight of the second half was the replacement of Werton and Lorran with Carlinhos and Matheus Gonçalves, something that Tite explained after the game.
Coach Tite highlighted the performance of goalkeeper Walter, from Cuiabá, as fundamental to the draw. “Walter had a great game, I think there were 11 shots on goal. In a volume created, with a series of adversities, I will not talk about the calendar, I have already said it and I do not want to be repetitive. We had the search until the final moment. The game presented itself, we tried to use two pivots, we replaced the boys to create the alternatives we needed and here is the support for the boys, Lorran and Werton”, analyzed Tite.
GAME STRATEGY
Tite sought greater coordination in midfield, using Gerson and Lorran as play creators. “I wanted to work on the projection. I looked for an articulating player to give more volume. As I have Lorran together with Gerson, who are two articulators, they look for each other, the idea was to have them. Then, we put together a strategy to pierce their middle and lower block (Cuiabá). We had to make the movement in the last third”, he explained.
Tite also highlighted the difficulties faced due to the tight schedule, which hampered the team's preparation. “It’s difficult not to talk about the calendar issue. We analyze the opponent and there is no way to train for this game. You put it on video and try to make sure things arrive on time. It was the third game in a row in less than 72 hours. We weren't able to maintain the regularity to put ourselves in front of the goal, to have a cleaner finish. We have to recognize that, on the other side, Walter was on a bright day”, added the coach.
With the draw, Flamengo reached 31 points, maintaining the isolated lead of the Brasileirão. Next Thursday (10), the team returns to Maracanã to face Fortaleza, at 8pm. Cuiabá, in turn, reached 14 points and occupies 15th place in the table.
Striker refused Flamengo's renewal proposal and future remains uncertain
|
0The future of Gabriel Barbosa, Gabigol, continues to be the subject of speculation after the player refused a renewal proposal with Flamengo. In addition to the interest already expressed by Palmeiras, Cruzeiro and Corinthians, Bahia now also appears as a possible destination for the center forward.
However, Bahia does not intend to pay financial compensation to Flamengo to count on Gabigol. Tricolor da Boa Terra's plan is to wait for the striker's contract with Flamengo to end, which ends in December. The information comes from Gabriel Reis, from the Paparazzo Rubro-Negro channel.
Gabigol has been cut from Flamengo's matches after refusing a proposal that included a 50% salary increase for another year of his contract. The length of the new contract, however, did not please the player, who had received promises of longer contracts, initially for five years and then for three.
Gabriel Barbosa felt devalued with the renewal proposal for just one year. The player's agent has already publicly stated that he is open to conversations with clubs interested in his client.
To transfer to another club during the season, an athlete can only have played in seven matches in the Brasileirão for a given team. For this reason, Flamengo's board has chosen not to take Gabigol to the games, thus avoiding complications in a possible transfer.
