0On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).
In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.
With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.
In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.

In addition to highlighting that he is against Gareca's substitutions, the former Flamengo player was emphatic that say that the Chile team should not have changed coaches. It's worth remembering that the Chilean federation fired Eduardo Berizzo in November 2023.
“I'm speechless, it hurts me a lot (losing at home to Bolivia). It doesn't make sense to lose like that, having players […] I don't understand some decision-making. He is respected because he is the coach, but I don't understand the approach. It's difficult to talk now […] I would never have changed Eduardo Berizzo. The press is disgusting, the only thing it does is ruin the team”, commented the midfielder who played for Flamengo.
