The team had an impeccable campaign, without suffering defeats in any set throughout the competition. In the final, we also had the presence of beach volleyball athletes, Pietra Jukoski and Giulia Gávio, daughters of Olympic champions Paulão and Giovane, in the crowd.
Fluminense opened the scoring with a point from Paracatu, but the team sent it out, then, and equalized for the rivals. After the first rally of the game, Roni sent an ace to the red and black team. Bernadinho made the first technical stop and asked for a reaction to the opponents' "drops". Back on the court, another rally, this time, with a perfect finish from Brie, and a point for Flamengo. The tricolor team started with some mistakes due to a lack of chemistry in the game, but Elina didn't let it go easy and sent two balls in a row into the opponent's court, scoring two points for the tricolor and stealing the lead of the match at 14/10. Flamengo got on the scoreboard, and opened the lead with a ball from Uzelac. In a last 30-second rally, Roni closed the set at 25/23.
In the second set, Flamengo opened scoring with two aces from Juciely and Brie King. The team opened up a six-point lead, highlighted by the three blocks that reinforced the score. Roni faced Paracatu's block, which ended up scoring for Fluminense. Brie King sent a free one to Flu, but on the return, Valquíria didn't hesitate and sent the opponent to the ground. Pietra entered for the tricolor and already scored, sending a strong attack on the red-black court. With a double block from Flamengo, followed by an attack from Helena, the team approached set point. Paracatu did well in blocking and the team closed the gap, but with many service errors, Flamengo ended up closing the set after an electrifying rally.
The set began with a significant reaction from Guilherme Schmitz's team, who took advantage of Flamengo's blocking and serving errors, and ended up opening 6/3. If Sabrina reduced the advantage on one side, Uzelac scored on the other. With a point from Michele and the ball out of Uzelac, Rubro-Negro pulled over. Then there was a touch at the net by Brie King and a tricolor point. The Flemish blockade increased the advantage to four points and maintained the lead until the end. With the Brie King and Sabrina double, Flamengo closed the game and took the champion title for the fourth consecutive time.
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.
The coach has his bias organized on the club’s current situation
