Arrascaeta sends a message after Flamengo's defeat to Peñarol: "Nothing like one day after another. Until the end”

Flamengo has not had a good run in the competitions it competes in and fans have lost patience with Tite. Thus, Anderson Macula, president of the organized fans Raça Rubro-Negra, demanded the dismissal of the coach and asked Filipe Luís to be hired as coach of the professional squad.

"Bitter Friday. A coach who doesn't has respect for the fans, who don't know what they're doing. With such a qualified squad, they can't get the team to play. Tite is so stupid that he can't see Léo Ortiz as a starter in Flamengo's midfield. the player who delivers the most in this squad. He starts the game with two midfielders, coming off an injury, with no rhythm in the game. Anyone on the edge of the field would opt for one or the other. Flamengo didn't have a midfielder. ", he said, before finishing:

"Léo Ortiz was his last option. to hire Filipe Luís. A very talented guy, who has the respect of the fans. Send Tite away and bring Gabigol to the squad. We have a game next week, which is the game of Flamengo's life", he concluded.

In addition to asking for Filipe Luís to be hired, Macula also demands that the Red and Black board of directors. According to the fan, Mais Querido's situation is in the hands of Marcos Braz and Rodolfo Landim.

"There's no point in coming to tell a story. . This creates a positive and light atmosphere to seek classification in Uruguay. So it's in the hands of Marcos Braz and Rodolfo Landim. Send Tite away, bring Filipe Luís in, take over as coach of the professional squad. We've already done it with Jayme and Andrade, so don't tell me it's premature. And take quick and effective action to save Flamengo's year", he concluded.

Even though many fans are calling for the departure of Tite, the coach will remain in his position. This is because the Red and Black board does not intend to fire him for now, as his contract ends on December 31st.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.

This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.

The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.

Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

After the recent defeat, the players of Flamengo demonstrated a speech of confidence and focus on recovery for the next challenges. Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta, the team's midfielder, emphasized the need to leave the negative result behind and direct all efforts towards the second leg. For him, Flamengo is fully capable of reversing the score, even after a performance below expectations.

Arrascaeta highlighted the impact of the goal conceded at the beginning of the match. According to him, the team lost emotional control when dealing with the disadvantage, which compromised performance throughout the match. “They scored a quick goal, we got out of control, we didn't know how to play with the disadvantage. But I'm convinced that we're going there to win the game”, said the player. The midfielder also highlighted the merit of the opponent in knowing how to manage the advantage obtained from the beginning of the game.

Next from Arrascaeta, midfielder Gerson also spoke about the situation of Flamengo. The player adopted a similar tone to his colleague, reinforcing that the team still has a chance of reversing the situation and seeking to qualify for the next phase. He highlighted the importance of a quick recovery, both physical and mental, so that the squad is prepared to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship, and then turn its attention to the decisive game in the Libertadores.

This positive mentality is essential for Flamengo, which is experiencing pressure on several fronts. In the Brazilian Championship, the team seeks to remain among the leaders, while in the Libertadores, it faces the need to overcome an adverse score to continue in the continental competition. Gerson highlighted that the key to recovery lies in mental strength and the ability to react quickly after an unfavorable result. According to him, it is essential that the team maintains focus and confidence, even in the face of difficulties.

The defeat, although painful, does not seem to have completely shaken the group's morale. Both Arrascaeta and Gerson demonstrate confidence in the team's ability to turn the situation around, as long as adjustments are made so that the mistakes made in the last game are not repeated. To achieve this, Flamengo will have to work on several areas, from tactical preparation to emotional control during the match.
