On Sunday, the 5th, Flamengo won a victory over Fortaleza, and what caught our attention was a peculiar episode that occurred during the match. Pedro, the team's striker, faced a problem in one of the fingers on his right hand while he was on the field. However, what stood out after his substitution was the warm greeting he received from coach Tite, who shook the number 9's hand tightly, even in the face of the player's obvious pain. This moment had a strong impact on social media after the game.
During the match, while Flamengo led 1-0, 38 minutes into the second half, Tite made the decision to replace Pedro. During the game, it became clear that the player had to interrupt his actions several times to move his injured finger. However, the coach's gesture in greeting him surprised everyone. Tite's firm grip on Pedro's hand made it clear that the action caused discomfort to the player.
On social media, reactions were quick to emerge. Some fans commented on the episode with humor and irony. "Once again attacked by the coaching staff," said a fan, making reference to the previous incident involving Pedro and the club's former fitness coach, Pablo Fernández, which occurred in July. Another red-and-black fan joked, saying: "He was lazy, he just gave his injured hand to shake." Laughter and funny comments also flooded social media, showing how diverse the reactions were.
As for Pedro's performance on the field, he played for 83 minutes in the match that ended in Flamengo's 2-0 victory about Fortaleza. The goal scored by the center forward came in the last moments of the first half, taking advantage of an assist from Filipe Luís. Soon after Pedro's substitution, Luiz Araújo scored the second goal, ending the confrontation that took place at Arena Castelão, in Fortaleza. It is worth noting that shirt 9 found the net for the second consecutive time, as he had already scored against Santos in the previous match, held on Wednesday, the 1st.
This unique episode during the game demonstrates how football often provides moments of surprise and humor, even in adverse situations. Pedro's reaction to greeting coach Tite, despite his obvious pain, sparked a debate on social media, showing how fans find creative ways to express their support and sense of humor in relation to events on the field. Pedro's performance, who scored a decisive goal in the match, was yet another demonstration of his importance to the team and his ability to overcome challenges, both physical and emotional, for the team's benefit.

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”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national 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.

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. 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. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
