This Monday (09), the signing of Tite at Flamengo was announced, which raised a wave of hope. Public opinion seems to be very hopeful about the participation of the former Brazilian team coach in Mais Querido, even if it is only in the Brasileirão.
For commentator Sérgio Xavier Filho, the arrival of the coach at Mengão could be a big difference in the team's performance in the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo, according to him, can fight for the title again, which is the team's last chance to win this season in 2023.
However, it must be considered that the work is big. In fifth place, Flamengo has 44 points in the tournament, while the leader, Botafogo, has 55 points. Between the two are Palmeiras (4th place), Grêmio (3rd place) and Bragantino (2nd place), with the difference between Fla and the vice-leader being just two points.
However, Fogão has an important disadvantage: the lack of a coach. Like Flamengo, Alvinegro recently fired its coach, but has not yet found a replacement. Furthermore, the team went through a series of defeats before beating Fluminense in the last round.
"I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Flamengo going after Botafogo in the Brasileirão. I know that 11 points in 12 rounds is a lot. But the big news for Botafogo is an absence: the withdrawal of Bruno Lage Flamengo has something new, it has a new factor (Tite)", explained Sérgio Xavier Filho, during the program 'Seleção SporTV'.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
