Fluminense fans are still celebrating the Copa Conmebol Libertadores title, but the Tricolor team is starting to prepare for the Club World Cup even though there is more than a month to go. With the classic against Flamengo ahead, Fernando Diniz indicated that he will not give the players rest.
At the press conference, the coach said that there is still a lot at stake, even though Flu has already achieved the main objective of the year. The idea is to put those who are physically fit in the matches with the intention of keeping the players at a good pace and holding back those who are more worn out. This was the case of Cano, Felipe Melo and Marcelo, who did not travel to Porto Alegre.
"We have to be committed to football, both in training and in games. When the player was a child, he wanted to arrive to Beira-Rio and play against Inter. Then he arrives here and doesn't feel like playing, I think the child they were would be amazed and would feel a certain sadness. We have the privilege of being a player. It's not easy, for the release of energy it had. But we have the privilege of playing for Fluminense, competing in the Brazilian Championship and having a great opponent like Inter", declared the coach.
"We have to take this championship extremely seriously . There are a lot of things worth it. Not only for Fluminense, but for ethical principles. There are a lot of people fighting to not fall, for the Libertadores, Sul-Americana and the title. We have to give ourselves body and soul whenever we can. It wasn't a match brilliant and not one of Fluminense's best. But the team had intensity, fighting spirit, knew how to compete and played a good game, in my opinion", concluded Diniz.
Fluminense debuts in the Club World Cup in on December 18th against the winner of Al Ahly (Egypt) and Al-Ittihad (Saudi Arabia) or Auckland City (Oceania) in the semi-final. The final and third place match will be on the 22nd.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
