Pedro, Flamengo striker, suffered a serious injury during a match for the Brazilian national team, specifically a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee. This type of injury is one of the most serious for high-performance athletes and, in Pedro's case, will require surgery, in addition to a long recovery period. The attacker will be sidelined for an estimated period of between 9 and 12 months, which represents a significant loss for both Flamengo regarding selection.

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the main structures of the knee, responsible for stabilizing the joint and preventing the tibia moves excessively in relation to the femur. When a rupture occurs, there is a serious compromise in the mobility and stability of the knee, which prevents the player from continuing to play without medical intervention.


WHAT IS THE ATTACKER INJURY LIKE?

ACL tears are common in sports that involve sudden movements, such as quick changes of direction, jumps and landings, typical in football. In the case of Pedro, it is possible that the movement performed during the match overloaded the knee, resulting in rupture of the ligament. After the injury was suspected during the game, Pedro underwent a series of tests, including an MRI, which confirmed the complete rupture of the ACL. Immediate diagnosis is crucial to ensure that appropriate treatment is initiated as soon as possible, minimizing future complications.

Treatment for this type of injury involves, in almost all cases, reconstructive surgery. This procedure consists of replacing the torn ligament with a graft, which can be taken from another part of the patient's body or from a donor. The choice of graft type depends on factors such as the extent of the lesion and the surgeon's preferences.

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.

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.
