Therefore, Tite has been looking for alternatives to make up for absences. Furthermore, the red-black group is closed. After the victory against Atlético-MG, the coach made a special request to the squad.


"Congratulations. What we are doing as a group is very big. You all know that. And here is a request: take care of yourselves in food and rest. Every match is very tough. Nobody guarantees a greater or lesser degree of ease than we had. Football is not like that. , declared Tite, in Flamengo's dressing room after the victory over Atlético-MG.


During the Copa América period, Rubro-Negro achieved five wins, one draw and one defeat. Thus, Mais Querido have demonstrated the strength of the group and have remained at the top of the competition. So far, Rubro-Negro is the leader of the Brasileirão, with 30 points, three more than second place.


FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATION

After beating Atlético-MG , Flamengo turned its attention to the next clash. The Mais Querido squad returns to Ninho do Urubu this Friday (5) to continue preparing for the clash against Cuiabá, this Saturday (6).

After the defeat to Santos last Wednesday (16), coach Filipe Luís stated that the situation involving striker Pedro was resolved internally . However, the red-black commander did not confirm whether the number 9 will be related to the classic against Fluminense, on Sunday (20). The decision will depend on the player's performance in training .


Pedro , in fact, will be evaluated during the upcoming activities at Ninho do Urubu. If he performs well and maintains his composure with the rest of the group , he could be considered for the match, valid for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship.


In an attempt to regain space in the squad, Pedro gathered the group last Monday (14) for a conversation behind closed doors. The striker explained himself about the recent episodes and shared with his colleagues how he felt about the public criticism made by Filipe Luís.


The coach, in turn, had already stated after the match against São Paulo that Pedro's absence was due to the player's performance in training. Filipe criticized the number 9's performance in training and made it clear: " When he trains at the same level as his teammates, he will be called up again ."

UNDERSTAND THE CASE


It all started on July 9th, when Pedro claimed to have "heavy legs" and left training early . This behavior caused discomfort among his teammates, who contacted the coaching staff and management, asking for action.

The next day, Pedro participated normally in the training session, but was cut from the collective training session on the 11th and was left out of the squad for the match against São Paulo. Even so, he attended the Maracanã to watch the match from the stands.

NEXT APPOINTMENT

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (20/07), at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Fluminense in the 15th round of the Brasileirão . The classic will be broadcast exclusively by Premiere, via pay-per-view.
