0Coach Tite, from Flamengo, confirmed that Gabigol, one of the club's recent idols, now occupies third place in the team's attack. The decision sparked discussions among fans and experts, but, according to the coach, the choice was based on technical criteria and recent performance. During a press conference, Tite was asked about the change in the attack hierarchy and explained the reasons that led him to prefer other players in front of Gabigol. “Training, games, specifically.
Carlinhos decisive against Bolívar. Carlinhos decisive against Atlético Mineiro, with a goal. Decisive against Vitória. That's why the option was made", said the coach, highlighting Carlinhos' recent performances as a key factor in his decision.
This change in command of the attack reflects Tite's management style, which values performance and meritocracy. Since arriving at Flamengo, the coach has adopted a discourse that no one has a guaranteed place in the team, regardless of name or history. This can be clearly seen in this decision, in which a player like Gabigol, who was once crucial. in Flamengo's recent titles, he loses space to a colleague who is going through a good phase.
FLAMENGO HAS ITS OWN
Carlinhos, the new holder of the position, has shown himself to be decisive in important matches , as Tite highlighted. Against Bolívar, Atlético Mineiro and Vitória, he played a fundamental role in the success of Flamengo, whether with goals or participation in important plays. These factors were enough to guarantee the coach's preference in placing him as the main option in attack.
Gabigol's situation, on the other hand, seems to reflect a phase of adaptation to the new command. Although he is a renowned player and beloved by the fans, his current phase has not been as brilliant as that of other periods of his career. In training and games, according to Tite, Gabigol has not been able to stand out to the point of regaining his starting position.
