0Flamengo has already lost 18 points in the Brazilian Championship due to set pieces. The team suffered from this again in the draw against Palmeiras, at Maracanã, a result that cost them a return to the top of the competition after Botafogo's defeat in the round. Tite preaches "focus and work" to improve the team in this regard.
Goals with set pieces at Brasileirãodefined four defeats and three draws. The team lost 12 points when it was defeated by Botafogo, Juventude (both goals), Fortaleza and São Paulo. In addition to six more when they came out on equal terms with Palmeiras, Bragantino and Athletico-PR.
Fla conceded 27 goals in 2024. Fourteen of them from corners, fouls, penalties or throw-ins. There have been three goals conceded in this way in the last three games. In the Brazilian Championship, this represented a defeat for São Paulo and a draw with Palmeiras. In the Copa do Brasil, against Alviverde, this almost cost them qualification for the quarterfinals.
The biggest problem this year is the corners. There were eight goals against (São Paulo, Fortaleza, Juventude, Grêmio, Palestino, Bragantino and Botafogo). Two came from penalties (Atlético-MG and Athletico-PR), three from free kicks (Criciúma, Juventude and Palmeiras) and one from a throw-in played in the area (Vasco).
The extra points would make a total difference for Flamengo. Only in direct confrontations against Botafogo and Palmeiras were four points wasted. Flamengo once again lost the chance to take the lead in the Brazilian Championship. The team fell to third, with 41 points and one game in hand. Leader Botafogo has 43 and Fortaleza, in second, has 42.
Tite was asked twice about the subject during the press conference. In the first, he stated that it was not an aerial ball, but a rebound. In the second, he was short on how to resolve it.
"The goal comes from a rebound ball, a return ball, not a header from a set piece. We have the same rate of goals conceded as the average championship, because the opponents also have quality. It was a rebound."
