Flamengo has not been able to present good football for some time and doubts about Tite's work have already begun to emerge. For journalist and commentator Gian Oddi, the criticism took a long time to appear, and there is an "unusual generosity" towards the commander.


For the commentator, if it were another coach in Tite's place, without making a star cast surrender, the position of coach would already be in danger and even vacant a long time ago. The journalist still uses Vanderlei Luxemburgo as a comparison to describe the situation.


“We are in the ninth month of this year, Tite started his work last year, and I keep imagining if Vanderlei Luxemburgo was the coach of Flamengo, how much he would get beaten. So I think there is a generosity with Tite that is absolutely unusual”, analyzed Gian Oddi.


GIAN HIGHLIGHTS THAT TITE'S WORK AT FLAMENGO MUST BE CLOSED


Tite will complete one year leading Flamengo, but he continues to experience moments of uncertainty. Even though Rubro-Negro is alive in the three competitions it competes in, the coach is unable to extract better football from the squad, and even with the absences, Gian Oddi says that the coach has to show urgent service.

“ Enough, I'm not saying that Tite should be fired. But you need to look at Flamengo's squad, and I know that the discount has to exist, just look at who is outside Flamengo's team at the moment. But he has a lot of allowance to work with, and of course, he had a lot of problems, but Flamengo goes there and signs the full-back who played with the Juventus shirt for the last ten years. So, we're talking about guys at a very high level”, commented Oddi following criticism from the fans about the football presented.

FLAMENGO'S PERFORMANCE WITH TITE

Since Tite arrived at Mais Querido, in October 2023, he led Rubro-Negro in 67 games, with 40 wins, 12 draws and 15 defeats. In total, 106 goals were scored and 48 conceded.

The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.


According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.


UNITED IN PROBLEMS


The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.

FLAMENGO'S PARTICIPATION


Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.

FOCUS ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
