The Flamengo faces a complicated situation for the match against Bolívar in the Copa Libertadores, with six confirmed absences. Wesley, the most recent to join the list, was cut due to physical problems. The situation is worsened by the absence of key players such as Everton Cebolinha and Viña, both out of action for the remainder of the 2024 season. Pedro, Arrascaeta and Gabigol, all with thigh muscle injuries, are only expected to return to the field from September.
Wesley's injury occurred after training, when the player felt pain in his right thigh. Flamengo's medical department chose to spare him to avoid a worsening of the situation, considering the history of muscle injuries that the team has been facing. The absence of Wesley, who had been an important player on the right flank, represents yet another challenge for the coach, who will have to look for alternatives within the squad to form the defense.
Everton Cebolinha and Viña were already confirmed as casualties until the end of the year, both suffering lserious injuries that require long recovery periods. Everton Cebolinha, with a ruptured knee ligament, underwent surgery and has an estimated recovery period of nine months, which takes him out of competitions in 2024. Viña suffered a fractured ankle during training and will not return to action. this season.
Forwards Pedro, Arrascaeta and Gabigol, the team's offensive pillars, suffered similar injuries, with muscle strains in their thighs. These injuries, although not as serious as those to Everton Cebolinha and Viña, require time to recover, and the players should only be able to return to the pitch in September. The simultaneous absence of these three players directly affects Flamengo's attacking power, which has proven to be dependent on their performances.
These injuries place Flamengo in a delicate situation, especially in a decisive phase of the Libertadores. The team will have to rely on the strength of the squad and the coach's ability to restructure the team to maintain competitiveness. The challenge of facing Bolívar without six important players will require not only an adjusted tactical strategy, but also a collective effort from the available athletes.

Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans.

Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, said the coach.
AND NOW GO?The answer reflects Tite's experience in dealing with the pressure that comes with commanding big teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs like Corinthians , Grêmio and the Brazilian team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
