Spain's victory in the Euros this Sunday (14) had a special connection with Flamengo. Antonio Gómez, former physical trainer at Rubro-Negro, was part of the Spanish delegation that won the competition.
Antonio Gómez worked at Flamengo in 2022, alongside Portuguese coach Paulo Sousa. Although the work of the technical team did not result in titles, the physical preparation under Gómez's leadership was always highly praised. His professionalism and dedication left a positive mark on the Rio club.
In January 2023, Gómez joined the Spanish national team, initially working with the youth teams. In June of the same year, he was invited by the Spanish federation to join the main technical committee, in charge of physical preparation for the League of Nations.
This is his second achievement of Antonio Gómez with the Spanish national team. In addition to the European Championship, he also contributed to the Nations League victory last year. These victories highlight the competence of the physical trainer and his importance in Spain's technical team.
Gómez's trajectory, from his time at Flamengo to his achievements with the national team Spanish, is an example of professionalism and success in football. His role in the team's physical preparation was crucial to the triumphs achieved, demonstrating his value and expertise in the area.

The night after the 1-0 defeat to Peñarol, coach Tite was faced with a barrage of criticism from Flamengo fans. The result did not please many, and the pressure increased considerably on the coach. In a press conference, Tite addressed these reactions calmly, highlighting that criticism is a natural reflection of the fans' passion for the club, especially in moments of frustration with the results on the field.
The coach's statements did not deny the gravity of the situation, but he opted for an optimistic approach. Tite believes that, with work and a good performance in the second leg, Flamengo can turn things around and regain the fans' confidence.
Flamengo took to the field against Peñarolin an important match, with great expectations of a good result. However, the 1-0 home defeat was a blow to the fans and put more pressure on the squad and coaching staff. Flamengo, one of the most successful clubs and with the biggest fans in Brazil, tends to deal with the constant expectation of victories and good performance. When these objectives are not achieved, reactions are quick to emerge.
The defeat left the team in a delicate situation in the competition, which makes the second leg even more decisive. The need for a positive result in the second match against Peñarol is not only to advance in the competition, but also to calm the spirits of a fan base that is increasingly demanding.

In the last round of the Libertadores group stage, Flamengo, now under the command of coach Tite, saw its long undefeated streak as home team come to an end. The 1-0 defeat marked the end of a run of 28 matches without losing at home in the competition. The negative result was a shock for the fans, mainly because it occurred at a crucial moment in the season and because of the expectations surrounding the team led by a renowned coach like Tite.
The last time Flamengo had been defeated at Maracanã by the Libertadores was in April 2019, when Peñarol beat the red-black team by the same score of 1-0. The current setback, therefore, brought back memories of that game, creating a feeling of déjà vu among fans . It is worth remembering that, at that time, Flamengo was in a moment of transition and seeking to consolidate itself as one of the powers of South American football.
With the arrival of Tite at the helm of Flamengo, the expectation was that the team would gain tactical consistency and competitiveness in important tournaments, such as the Libertadores itself. Tite, who has a respected CV, mainly for his work in the Brazilian national team, was hired with the mission of making Flamengo become dominant again both on the national and international scene.
The defeat at home, however , served as a cold water for part of the fans who expected a quiet victory. Their unbeaten record at home was seen as one of Flamengo's trump cards in continental competition, a guarantee of strength within their domains. By losing this status, the team will now need to deal with the pressure and doubts that arise from this result.
