Sometimes the guys call him 'Joker'. Sometimes, it is very difficult to perform two or three functions on the field", said Tite, praising the number 8 of Mais Querido after a draw with Cuiabá.
TEAM HIGHLIGHTUs In recent games Gerson has been one of the best players for Tite's Flamengo. Furthermore, Mais Querido's number 8 is an example off the field for the younger players and they have strengthened their leadership of the group.

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Cuiabá on Saturday night (6), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Despite the unexpected result, Rubro-Negro secured the lead in the competition until the end of the round. After the game, coach Tite analyzed the team's performance.
Flamengo was behind on the scoreboard, but pressed throughout the game, managing to equalize with a goal from Pedro. However, the team was unable to break through Cuiabá's defensive block to turn the match around. A highlight of the second half was the replacement of Werton and Lorran with Carlinhos and Matheus Gonçalves, something that Tite explained after the game.
Coach Tite highlighted the performance of goalkeeper Walter, from Cuiabá, as fundamental to the draw. “Walter had a great game, I think there were 11 shots on goal. In a volume created, with a series of adversities, I will not talk about the calendar, I have already said it and I do not want to be repetitive. We had the search until the final moment. The game presented itself, we tried to use two pivots, we replaced the boys to create the alternatives we needed and here is the support for the boys, Lorran and Werton”, analyzed Tite.
GAME STRATEGY
Tite sought greater coordination in midfield, using Gerson and Lorran as play creators. “I wanted to work on the projection. I looked for an articulating player to give more volume. As I have Lorran together with Gerson, who are two articulators, they look for each other, the idea was to have them. Then, we put together a strategy to pierce their middle and lower block (Cuiabá). We had to make the movement in the last third”, he explained.
Tite also highlighted the difficulties faced due to the tight schedule, which hampered the team's preparation. “It’s difficult not to talk about the calendar issue. We analyze the opponent and there is no way to train for this game. You put it on video and try to make sure things arrive on time. It was the third game in a row in less than 72 hours. We weren't able to maintain the regularity to put ourselves in front of the goal, to have a cleaner finish. We have to recognize that, on the other side, Walter was on a bright day”, added the coach.
With the draw, Flamengo reached 31 points, maintaining the isolated lead of the Brasileirão. Next Thursday (10), the team returns to Maracanã to face Fortaleza, at 8pm. Cuiabá, in turn, reached 14 points and occupies 15th place in the table.
The club gave up its place in the championship that starts this month and will take advantage of players and staff in the under-20s

Current Brazilian under-17 runner-up in the women's category, Flamengo decided two weeks ago to close the category on the eve of the 2024 championship, which begins at the end of July. The club gave up its place, and Bahia was invited to replace Rubro-Negro.
The information about the end of the activity was released by ESPN and confirmed by ge. Although the 2024 budget already includes the category, Flamengo internally treats the closure as a "strategic issue" due to the lack of championships and to expand the social projects where the club attracted talent. But it did not issue any official statement until the publication of this article.
Flamengo was the only one of the big clubs in Rio de Janeiro that maintained a female under-17 category since 2019. Fluminense and Vasco had it on a seasonal basis for a given competition (they competed in the Carioca Under-17 in 2022, but never in the Brazilian Championship). Botafogo does not work with youth women.
Despite the closure of the category, ge found that there were few layoffs. Flamengo decided to take advantage of almost the entire squad and committee by expanding the under-20s. The technical professionals took on other roles, and the younger girls started training at the same time, but in a different field.
Since 2019, the CBF has had two women's base categories. In the first three years they were under-16 and under-18, but from 2022 they became under-17 and under-20. To encourage the development of women's football in South America, Conmebol determines that clubs competing in its men's tournaments are required to have an adult women's team and an under-20 team, but not other lower categories.
