The defeat against Grêmio was a turning point with three goals conceded in less than half the game. Still, the coach did not choose to put the defender on the field
|
0On Wednesday night (25), Flamengo lost to Grêmio 3-2. At the end of the first half, Rubro-Negro had a 1-0 lead and, in less than 45 minutes, they took three goals. It is not new that the team has problems in defense and it is something that Tite has already said that he is looking for solutions, in an attempt to find that player who can perform well in the role of defender.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo Caio continues to warm up the bench. The defensive athlete was one of the coach's options for the clash. Fabrício Bruno and David Luiz were not available and Léo Pereira and Pablo entered as starters. The only defender left was the veteran who, when a change occurred, was not called upon.
In the 84th minute of the ball rolling, when Tricolor had just scored their second goal, putting the score at 2-1, Pablo and Arrascaeta left. Luiz Araújo (attack) and Matheuzinho (lateral) took their places, leaving the defense more open, which confused the fans and commentators.
During a press conference, after the match, a reporter asked the former Brazilian team the following question: "His physical trainer spoke about Rodrigo Caio's condition. Today, I had the feeling that Matheuzinho , at the end of the game, he was closing in as a defender, kind of improvised. I wanted to know about Pablo's replacement with Matheuzinho, and not with Rodrigo Caio, who is the player in that position."
Tite responded like this: "Pablo's substitution was an offensive change, not Matheuzinho's, for Thiago Maia to have an articulating player retreated, allowing others to advance forward..." The coach's strategy, however, did not work and two minutes later André Henrique scored the Gauchos' third goal.
This weekend, Tite's physical trainer, Fábio Mahseredjian, participated in interviews after the game against Vasco. The professional spoke about Rodrigo Caio, with great enthusiasm, regardless of his injury history: ''We arrived here approximately 15 days ago, almost 20. Rodrigo has been training very well. Very good. He is fully recovered, which is why he was on the bench. He is ready to play, he has been training, he does everything that other athletes do. He's really an athlete, he's not a football player, he's a football athlete. Deserving of playing. Tite will decide the time, but he certainly makes us happy with his commitment and his health - said the physical trainer.'', he concluded.
