"It's going to be a pocket show, something I've never done, but the fact that I'm here at Rock in Rio is already big news for me. I've never seen it, I've never stepped foot on Rock in Rio. I'm coming as a guest to do this little presentation", said Xuxa before completing.

"I'm a little nervous because it's going to be after Katy Perry. Can you imagine, after. by Katy Perry, man, like that, because, you know, everyone is there watching Katy Perry and now they're going to see Xuxa... 'Oh, damn!'. , stay close so I can see, because I don't know what's going to happen'. I'm nervous, anxious, but happy at the same time", she said in an interview with the portal Quem.

Guys, you who don't know her, or those of you who know, those of you who are fans of Cyndi Lauper, continue to be, because she is an incredible person. She asked me, 'What song are you going to sing?' I showed it, and she listened, gave her opinion. She talked about my hair… I was so happy! She is very cute, tiny.

Another decisive factor in Tite's assessment is Gabigol. The coach highlighted that the attacker has been dealing with recurring physical problems, which hampers his preparation and participation in games. Injuries not only prevent a player from maintaining a streak, they also affect their confidence and ability to perform at a high level. Without being 100% physically, the tendency is for the player to avoid greater efforts, which, in practice, compromises his performance.

Tite was clear in stating that caution is needed when using an athlete who is not in good health. full conditions. Forcing Gabigol's return before he is fully recovered could worsen his physical condition, further compromising his season and the team's planning. Gabigol's absence has a significant impact on the Flamengo team, both due to the technical quality he brings to the attack and his leadership on the field.


TITE HAS A COMPREHENSIVE MENTALITY < /p>

However, Tite highlighted that the athlete's health and well-being are priorities, and that forcing his presence without the appropriate conditions would be harmful not only for the player, but for the team as a whole. Even with Gabigol's absence, Flamengocontinues to look for alternatives in the squad to maintain a good performance in competitions.

The responsibility for maintaining a competitive level falls on other players, and coach Tite has used this opportunity to test new formations and strategies, aiming to minimize the impacts of the lack of one of the country's main attackers.< /p>
