Tite has Flamengo's squad ready to face Vasco this Sunday (02), in the seventh round of the Brasileirão. The big news is Fabrício Bruno back in the starting lineup, forming a defensive duo with David Luiz. For the rest, the coach maintains the basis for the classic.Probable Flamengo lineup: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Viña; Allan, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta; Gerson, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro.
Flamengo finished its preparation last Saturday. Therefore, Tite commanded physical, technical and tactical activities at Ninho do Urubu. The coach was unable to count on two players: defender Léo Pereira and left-back Ayrton Lucas. Thus, the injured duo are missing for the game later.
DOUBTS RESOLVED IN THE FLAMENGO SCHEDULEWithout Léo Pereira and with the return of Fabrício Bruno, who refused the offer from West Ham (ING), the doubt in Flamengo's lineup was in the defensive sector. Tite used Léo Ortiz in training on Friday (31), but ended the preparation with David Luiz alongside the number 15. This way, the defender will start against Vasco. On the left flank, Viña takes over from Ayrton Lucas.
Allan or Erick Pulgar was the other doubt in Flamengo's lineup in midfield. With the Chilean midfielder recovered and available, the former Atlético-MG player saw his place under threat. However, Tite kept number 21 among the starters throughout the preparation for the classic. Therefore, number 5 starts the match on the bench.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.

This Sunday (15), midfielder Philippe Coutinho may have the chance to meet Flamengo, wearing the Vasco da Gama shirt, after a long wait of 14 years. Expectations are high, as the player passed the physical test carried out on Saturday and should be among the reserves in the classic. Although Coutinho has built a distinguished international career, he has still not managed to beat Rubro-Negro in professional matches.
To date, Coutinho has faced Flamengo on two occasions, both in 2010. In the first, in a match valid for the Carioca Championship, Vasco was defeated 1-0. The second meeting took place in the semi-final of the Taça Rio that year, again with Carioca. Vasco was eliminated after losing 2-1, in a game played at Maracanã. Coutinho was on the field for 61 minutes, but was unable to help his team avoid elimination.
This duel Sunday has symbolic weight for Coutinho. In addition to being an opportunity to break the streak of victories against the rival, it is also a moment of affirmation in his return to Brazilian football, after spells at clubs such as Inter Milan, Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. At 32 years old, the midfielder is looking to rediscover the good football that made him famous on the international stage and can use the classic as a turning point in his current phase.
Coutinho is a player recognized for his technical ability and vision game, characteristics that made him stand out among European clubs. However, since returning to Brazilian football, he has not yet reached the level of performance expected. The season has been one of ups and downs, with some injuries and difficulties in adapting. Despite this, it remains one of Vasco's main bets for the continuation of the Brazilian Championship.
The match between Vasco and Flamengo is one of the most anticipated classics in Brazilian football. The "Classic of Millions", as it is known, always brings a great emotional charge and expectation. Vasco, in a season of reconstruction and fighting against relegation, sees Coutinho's return as hope for better performance and recovery in the championship. Flamengo, which is going through a more stable phase, enters the field with the mission of maintaining its recent superiority in the confrontation.
