BEHIND THE SCENES: GERSON CHARGES FLAMENGO PLAYERS BEFORE THE GAME AGAINST ATLÉTICO-GO

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.

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>

Coach Tite explained the absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, in the latest squads and games for Flamengo. According to the coach, the striker faces a series of physical problems that have compromised his performance on the field since his arrival at the club. Furthermore, recurring injuries and the lack of continuity at a high intensity level have been determining factors in the player not being available in important matches.

Gabigol, who has become a fundamental player at Flamengo in recent years, has been suffering from a loss of rhythm in the game and, consequently, a drop in performance. According to Tite, the attacker is not in ideal conditions to compete at the highest level, which justifies his absence from the most recent squads.

The main point raised for Tite to justify Gabigol's absence is the player's physical condition. He mentioned that the striker has not been able to maintain regularity in terms of intensity during training and matches. This directly affects the athlete's performance, who is no longer able to perform in the same way as before. For Tite, the lack of continuity at a high level of performance is one of the biggest concerns.

This scenario calls into question the ability of Gabigolin contributing effectively to the team, since Flamengo has a tight schedule, with important games both in national and international competitions. Tite was direct in pointing out that, at the moment, the player does not have the appropriate physical conditions to face this pace of play.

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.

The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.

During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term. 

Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.

Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
