Former player Fábio Luciano, who was a defender and captain of Flamengo, brought his analysis of Tite's attitudes , highlighting a possible contradiction between discourse and practice. The coach often states that the club is competing on all fronts, without giving priority to a specific competition. However, Fábio notes that, in practice, the Brazilian Championship has been left aside.
A clear example was the match against Grêmio, where Tite chose not to take the main players, leaving 12 athletes in the Rio de Janeiro to train with Matheus Bachi, his son and assistant coach. For Fábio, there is an inconsistency, because, despite the discourse of equality between competitions, the Brazilian Championship remains in the background.
“Tite makes a statement that Flamengo would compete in all competitions. Who knows the responsibility, that this is what Flamengo is, he made this statement a week ago. And then a week ago, you said that you understood, that you had to be strong in all the competitions, and a week later you left the starters in Rio de Janeiro, sending a team of boys. So I think the message... I understand, but I don't accept it, because it was Flamengo, the message had to be different”, stated Fábio Luciano, before completing:
“As an institution, it wasn't a good message. Flamengo could have a different move than keeping the players in Rio de Janeiro, leaving them training with another professional. But it is a private issue”, defined the commentator.
The former captain criticizes this decision, considering that leaving most of the squad at Ninho do Urubu was an inappropriate choice. In his view, Tite should have taken the entire group to the South, even though he agrees with the lineup of a mixed, but more competitive, team. Fábio also comments that the logistics of traveling from Rio Grande do Sul to Montevideo would be simple, and the ideal would be for the entire squad to be working directly with the coach.
“The players could be together at that moment, they could make a decision in Porto Alegre. It could make the team a little stronger, understand who is capable of playing or not, and give value to the Brazilian Championship. Porto Alegre is on Montevideo's side, everyone goes, Flamengo goes strong, then gets there and decides who will play or no, and make a plan already in Porto Alegre, thinking about the game in Uruguay”, concluded the defender.

Thiago Ribeiro, Gabigol's former teammate from Santos, spoke about the striker's current situation at Flamengo and his apparently difficult relationship with Tite. The former player expressed confidence that Gabi will turn things around and took the opportunity to send a hint to the red and black coach.
For Thiago Ribeiro, what Gabigol needs is trust, something that must be given by Tite. Only with this support, shirt 99 will be able to show his best football again.
“I believe that one of the most important things in football is confidence, the player has to have confidence, and the game sequence … So I believe that for him to resume his football, it requires confidence, and that goes through the coach. I'm not there on a daily basis, anyone who is there on a daily basis knows, but the board, the coach, has to give confidence to the player”, said the attacker.
With Pedro's injury, Gabigol became the third option in the squad, but it seems he doesn't have Tite's confidence to be the player who will solve the problems from Flamengo. This scenario, according to speculation, created a certain tension between the attacker and the coach, especially after Gabi was not included in the game against Peñarol.
Thiago Ribeiro believes that the best thing to do in a situation like this , especially at a time when Flamengo needs Gabigol most, it's up to Tite to "embrace" the player, demonstrate his confidence and guarantee the striker's place in the team.
“No one unlearns how to play football. And when the player is at that stage of delivering nowhere near what he usually delivers, at that stage the coach must arrive and say: I'm putting you to play, I believe in you, I'm counting on you”, added Thiago.
Despite the complicated moment, the expectation is that Gabigol will participate in the return match against Peñarol, not just as an option on the bench, but starting as a starter.
