The club loses two important players
|
0After the defeat of Flamengo beat Corinthians 2-1 at Neo Química Arena, players Gerson and Pedro presented themselves to the Brazilian team for the sequence of international commitments. The defeat left Rubro-Negro in a delicate position in the Brazilian Championship, intensifying criticism about the team's performance and squad management.
Gerson, who played throughout the match against Corinthians, showed a performance below expectations. The midfielder, known for his ability to control the pace of the game and give dynamics to the central sector, had difficulty imposing his style in a match where Flamengo were outperformed on several occasions. Gerson's presence in the Brazilian team is seen as an opportunity for the player to regain his confidence and show the football that made him stand out on the national and international scene.
Pedro, in turn, has faced a period of instability at the club. The striker, who is often praised for his finishing ability, was unable to capitalize on the chances he created during the match against Corinthians, but scored from the penalty spot after an injury ruled him out after 15 days. This efficiency has been a point of discussion among fans and analysts, who expect more from the number 9 in decisive moments.
The call-up to the Brazilian National Team comes at a crucial moment, where Pedro can find in the national team an environment to resume his best form and contribute effectively in the upcoming competitions.
The defeat to Corinthians exposed weaknesses in the Flamengo, which has found it difficult to maintain a consistent standard of play. The fluctuation in the team's performance has generated pressure on the coach and the squad, with fans expecting a quick response in terms of results and attitude on the field. The fact that Gerson and Pedro are now involved with the Brazilian team puts additional pressure on Flamengo, who will have to look for alternatives to make up for their absences and try to recover in the championship.
Flamengo's historic idol revealed surprise to Tite indicating that Carlinhos is ahead of Gabigol in the hierarchy of the red and black squad
|
0Pedro's injury seems to reveal the real extent of the loss of space in Flamengo's team under coach Tite. Bruno Henrique has been chosen so far for the role of center forward and, against Vasco, this Sunday (15), the coach opted for Carlinhos as a substitute. A situation that idol Maestro Júnior sees as an attempt to send a message to Gabriel, who entered the classic with five minutes to go.
“It was strange, really. Even because of his CV and everything he has done, independent of Carlinhos. But I think he would automatically be the man to step into that role. Whether it was more fixed or like he has done, leaving the area more. Some message was given, but Tite didn't comment at all...", Júnior said on the program 'Seleção SporTV'.
Tite was asked about the decision at the press conference and, just as Júnior said, he didn't comment much about it. the case. The stance that the coach adopts in some questions during the press conferences, and the Gabigol topic is probably the main one. He limited himself to saying that the option was based on “training and games”, in addition to highlighting Carlinhos’ decisive moments this season. Indicating that Camisa 22 is ahead.
The red-black coach's assistant and son, Matheus Bachi, assured that it was a tactical decision. This is because they assessed that the team needed a player who could take advantage of the crosses that were being created.
But the justifications were not enough to convince André Rizek. Continuing the debate with Maestro Júnior, the journalist stated that he doesn't see how Gabigol can be useful in Tite's Flamengo if he is behind Carlinhos in the hierarchy.
“He loses Pedro and opts for Bruno Henrique. But then Bruno leaves the game and the person who enters is not Gabigol, but Carlinhos. And so, if Gabigol doesn't beat Carlinhos at this moment, I can't see him being useful. A melancholic end for one of the greatest players in Flamengo's history.”
Bruno Henrique as center forward exposes Gabigol at the end of the lineThere was a current that stated that Tite could opt for Carlinhos instead of Gabigol to maintain as much as possible the characteristics that the team had with Pedro. This is because, despite technical differences, both are taller center forwards, who compete for the aerial ball and can pivot at the edge of the area. However, the choice of Bruno Henrique has already forced a change of system.
The red-black team no longer has a regular center forward. This is because, although good at playing from the top, Bruno does not usually act as a reference to hold the ball in attack. Which forces Flamengo to play with a more mobile attack, with position changes with Luiz Araújo, Gerson and now Gonzalo Plata. In addition to having reduced shots and touched the ball more in the last two games.
Tite, therefore, is already willing to change the way he plays and adapt to the team without Pedro in charge of the attack. But he has not yet shown that he is considering the possibility of testing the team with Gabigol in the starting 11.
