Coveted! Another European team dreams of signing Wesley

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.

On Friday afternoon (23), Flamengo officially presented Michael at a press conference at Ninho do Urubu. After the attacker's presentation, Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel explained to journalists Atalanta's negotiation for Wesley. The vice-president of red-black football highlighted that the club did not lose the negotiation for the sale of the athlete.

"Flamengo did not lose this negotiation. Now I'm going to talk about the sporting match. I'm going to talk about the player. He was criticized so much in relation to Atalanta comes, a team from England comes, a team from France comes and everyone sees Wesley as a good player, the only people who don't think so are the people here in relation to Brazil. The professionals there want the player, and the amateurs here. no? 16 million euros (R$96 million) for 90% of Wesley's economic rights. The deal would be around 20 million euros with targets to be achieved (R$ 120 million). 

With the cancellation of his transfer to Europe, Wesley seemed quite dissatisfied, as everything was arranged for the full-back to say goodbye to Mais Querido. Now, the young man is waiting for a new proposal from other clubs to try to play in European football.

Without transferring to European football, Wesley ended up getting injured and will be out of Flamengo's next game. Mais Querido returns to the field next Sunday (25th), at 8pm, at Maracanã.
