Those who have a long relationship with coach Tite say that there is no reason to worry about the relationship with striker Gabigol at Flamengo. On the first day of training at the club, the matter was not even mentioned, as the general perception was that it was a minor incident. The news of the supposed tension between Tite and Gabigol took fans by surprise, as the pair worked together on the Brazilian national team with good results. There is speculation that a possible disagreement between the two could affect the striker's performance at Flamengo, one of the main players of the Rio team.As determined by UOL Esporte, sources close to the coach claim that any disagreement between them was resolved behind the scenes and that the focus is now on the team's performance in the Brazilian Championship and Copa Libertadores. Tite himself, in a recent interview, minimized the speculation, emphasizing that Gabigol is a talented and important player for the team. Flamengo's directors also demonstrated confidence in Tite and Gabigol's ability to overcome any disagreements, ensuring that the club's stability will not be harmed. The club's president, in an official statement, highlighted the importance of maintaining internal harmony.

It is important to highlight that, in the world of football, disagreements between coaches and players are not uncommon. Sometimes these tensions can even be productive, as long as they are resolved in a mature and professional manner. In the case of Tite and Gabigol, everything indicates that the situation is being treated in this way. Gabigol, in turn, preferred not to comment publicly on the matter, focusing on his preparation for the next games. His dedication to training and games is one of the reasons why Flamengo and its fans are confident in his ability to overcome this possible disagreement with Tite.

The fans, who follow the team with great passion, are eager to see the duo Tite and Gabigol working in tune.
