Flamengo won the Guanabara Cup last Saturday (2), after beating Madureira 3-0, at Maracanã. Thus, for commentator Renato Rodrigues, from ESPN, Tite did a great job with the team and managed to change the mentality of the red and black fans. If before he was considered a backbencher by the fans, today he is praised for the team's defensive phase.
“The big change in Flamengo's path is the red and black team getting to know Tite. Many red and black people had a certain rejection of Tite. The thing about being a gaucho, the talk about being a backwater, and whoever says that in 2024 doesn't watch football. It's even a cultural issue at the club. Flamengo is a club that, more than just winning, means keeping the ball and a team that has always imposed itself technically. And they are discovering that defending is important. When you don't concede a goal, you also don't lose games. Flamengo doesn't concede a goal”, said Renato during 'Sportcenter', before completing:
“When you manage to provide defensive support to a squad that is so superior, those at the back give you confidence and those at the front risk more. . With the quality he has, the chances will appear. So, I think this is the way. Obviously I want to see Flamengo at a higher level of confrontation, but the path is very optimistic.”
TITE ERA
So, it seems that the "Tite era" is just beginning no Flamengo< /a>. Remembering that the coach arrived at Mais Querido in October 2023, in the final stretch of the Brasileirão. After the Guanabara Cup title, the coach has 23 games for Rubro Negro. There were 16 wins, four defeats and three draws, completing a 74% success rate.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT MATCH
With the Carioca semi-finals defined, the Mais Querido returns to training this Monday (4) to begin preparing for the match against Fluminense. Remembering that the Rubro Negro players had Sunday (3) off, after beating Madureira and winning the Guanabara Cup undefeated.

Santos has decided to host the match against Flamengo on July 16, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro. The São Paulo club even negotiated the sale of the home stadium to Brasília in order to raise funds, but the proposal was rejected.
There was a possibility that the match would be moved to Mané Garrincha. The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the predominantly red-and-black crowd in Brasília to raise a large amount of money. The amounts offered to Santos were not revealed. The likely "reversal" of home advantage, however, was one of the reasons for the São Paulo team's refusal.
It is worth remembering that this same company has a debt of R$587,354.00 with Flamengo for not passing on the entire amount agreed upon for the Botafogo-PB x Flamengo match, for the Copa do Brasil, which was transferred to Maranhão. The club decided to take the company to court.
Santos wanted to play the match against Flamengo at Morumbis, São Paulo's stadium. However, they were unable to obtain permission from the police , as Palmeiras is playing at Allianz Parque on the same date and the security forces prohibit games of big teams in the city on the same day. Without Morumbis, Brasília became plan B, but it was discarded by the board, which decided to keep the home stadium at Vila Belmiro.
The red-black squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning and will have four days off . The return is scheduled for Saturday (5), when Filipe Luís will lead the first activity focused on the return of the national calendar after the Club World Cup.
The first match will be against São Paulo, on July 12th, at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Santos x Flamengo will be Mengão's second game after returning from the USA . For the black and white team from the coast, however, it will be the first match after the break. This is because the game against Palmeiras, scheduled for the 12th, has been postponed due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup.
Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his case.

Flamengo will face São Paulo on the 12th, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the São Paulo team will be one player short. This is because midfielder Matheus Alves is close to being sold to CSKA, and will travel to Russia in the early hours of Friday. The sale will only be announced by Tricolor after medical exams and the signing of a contract.
The final details of the transfer were resolved in the last few days, and CSKA then issued tickets for Matheus Alves to travel to Russia. São Paulo already did not have the midfielder, who has not even trained at CT da Barra Funda.
Matheus Alves, 20, has become a target for CSKA in recent months. The Russians even had a video call with the midfielder before formalizing the offer to São Paulo. Since last month, however, Tricolor has been discussing the sale with the European club.
The amount will be close to 6 million euros (R$37.9 million) for 100% of the player's economic rights, 90% of which are tied to São Paulo. In recent months, Tricolor had warned the player's agents that it expected a minimum offer of 10 million euros (around R$63.2 million), but the Russian club presented an offer with a lower value.
Due to its financial and cash flow problems, São Paulo decided to proceed with the transfer even though it was below what was expected. Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his sale at home, with his family.
The 26-year-old Argentine is currently playing in Russian football, where he has a contract until the 2027 season. The player plays centrally or on the wings.

The Club World Cup has come to an end for Flamengo, but the season is still going strong. In this sense, José Boto and the red-black management are keeping an eye on the transfer market , especially on a striker. Therefore, a possible target could emerge from Russia.
The "Rubronews Tv" portal obtained the information and, according to them, confirmation from a Flamengo director that the club made an inquiry to the Argentine striker from Dynamo Moscow, Ezequiel Barco. The 26-year-old athlete has a contract with the Russian club until 2027.
It is worth remembering that Barco's name has been circulating at Flamengo since before the Club World Cup , but the talks did not progress, as the values presented initially are far from an evolution from a survey to negotiation.
The manager also confirms that there is no agreement, as reported in some portals, in fact there is not even an initial conversation , but he also confirms that the athlete is considered “interesting” and does not rule out a formal proposal.
Esequiel Barco is valued at R$102 million by Spartak Moscow, a figure that Flamengo , as reported, does not want to pay at this time. Despite this, according to the Russian media, the striker is positive about a transfer to Flamengo.
