After another defeat for Flamengoin the Libertadores, there was a flood of criticism of Tite. In addition to the fans, the press has also criticized the team led by the coach. In fact, on the morning of this Wednesday (8), the cast was received under protest upon arrival in Rio.
As such, journalist Eric Faria was also unhappy with Rubro-Negrobefore Palestino and harshly criticized the team and used social media to express his dissatisfaction. For Eric, the team's performance was similar to that of someone who gathered a group before the game at the last minute, as if a team had been formed.
“Flamengo looks like a group that got together halfway Hour before the match, each one said where they would like to play. Team spaced out, no approach, no worked plays. Poor performance so far”, writes Eric Faria on his X, former Twitter.
LITTLE FOOTBALL FOR MANY EXPECTATIONS
Soon afterwards, Eric said he doesn’t like the way the team ends matches, with several players acting outside their original positions. For him, the football presented by the team is very little compared to what is expected.
“Flamengo ended with Fabrício Bruno and Léo Pereira in attack, with Varela and Ayrton Lucas doing the rest. Did you notice? The team took a dangerous shot in the first half and had two with BH and one with Luiz Araújo in the second. Too poor football for a millionaire squad”, he concludes.
FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN LIBERTADORES
With the defeat, Flamengo no longer depends on itself to qualify for the next phase of the competition. Now, Mais Querido will have to hope that Millonarios beats Bolívar this Wednesday (8), so that Rubro-Negro can dream of second place. Next Wednesday (15), Rubro-Negro will face Bolívar, at Maracanã.

Flamengo released this Sunday morning (31) the list of players related to the duel against Grêmio , valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The main absence is midfielder Jorginho , who had been in doubt throughout the week after feeling muscle discomfort.
Despite participating in a separate training session on Saturday, the player felt pain again during Sunday morning's training session and was rested by the coaching staff. See the list of players involved in the Brazilian Championship match.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from an injury . At left back, Filipe Luís will have Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña, both available for the match. Juninho, however, remains out of the club's plans and was not included in the list. The board is working to determine new destinations for the players.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Rede Globo , on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.
In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.
With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.
