Flamengo's early elimination from the Libertadores generated harsh criticism from the red-and-black idol Júnior, in the edition of the Seleção SporTV program this past Friday (27). According to the commentator, the elimination was a reflection of the club's entire campaign.
Júnior also cited the wrong choices. Remembering that in the Libertadores debut, Tite chose to play with the mixed team against Millonarios and drew with the rival team. In other words, he prioritized the second leg of Carioca's final against Nova Iguaçu.
“The elimination took place in the first game at Maracanã. Yesterday we even had a little something to take advantage of, but in the first game practically nothing was taken advantage of. It was a mirror of the entire campaign that was made, wrong choices, the fact that you decide the second away from home is always complicated in a competition like the Libertadores”, said Júnior.
Even before being eliminated from the Libertadores, Tite was already being pressured by the fans. With the elimination, charges increased. However, the red-black board evaluates the coach's work and rules out a dismissal before the clash against Athletico-PR.
The tendency is for Tite to also lead Mais Querido in the decisive clash of the Copa do Brasil , against Corinthians. If the work progresses and the coach achieves good results, the commander can survive in command of Rubro-Negro.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT CONFRONTATIONThus, Seeking to improve his numbers in charge of Flamengo, Tite finalizes the red-black team's preparation this Saturday (28). Mais Querido returns to the field this Sunday (29), when they face Athletico-PR, in the Brasileirão, at 8pm.

This Thursday (26), Flamengo and Peñarol (URU) will face each other in the second leg of the quarterfinals Copa Libertadores final. The match, which will be held at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, will decide who will advance to the semi-finals and will face Botafogo, who secured their qualification by beating São Paulo the night before. The duel could mark the first classic between Mais Querido and the black and white team at this stage of the continental tournament.
While awaiting the outcome of the match between Fla and Peñarol, Botafogo defender Alexander Barboza expressed excitement about the possibility of facing CRF in the semifinals. After Botafogo's classification in a dramatic game decided on penalties, Barboza commented on the next opponent, highlighting the pleasure of participating in great classics.
"I really enjoy playing in classics, but my whole family is from Uruguay, so I'm equally divided between the two teams", said the defender, without naming a favorite for this Thursday's clash. If Flamengo wins the place, this will be the first Rio classic played in a Libertadores semi-final, representing a milestone in the history of the competition for both teams.
Despite the expectation of a possible historic semi-final, Mengão must first guarantee their classification against Peñarol. To advance directly, the Rio team needs to beat their Uruguayan opponent by at least two goals. In case of a tie on the aggregate score, the decision will be on penalties. The match promises to be challenging for Rubro-Negro, who will play away from home and face pressure from the Uruguayan fans.
The Red-Black fans are confident in another good performance from their team, which they seek to overcome Peñarol and get closer to another Libertadores final. If it advances, the Flamengo will face Botafogo in an unprecedented clash that would go down in the history of Brazilian football.
