The former Flamengo full-back, Rafinha, does not have good memories with the current coach of Mais Querido. While wearing the Bayern Munich (ALE) shirt, the player expected a call-up from Tite to the Brazilian team, mainly for the World Cup. According to the São Paulo athlete, the coach did not give opportunities in sequence with Amarelinha.
“In 2017, Tite called me. In the meantime, he told me that he watched the pre-season at Bayern, saw my games and He said he was going to call me up. So, he rekindled his desire to play for the national team. I told him I was happy with the call, because he remembered me. But I made it clear that I would like a follow-up, as I had been called up previously and had no follow-up" , said Rafinha, about dialogue with Tite, in an interview on 'SporTV'.
"Because I was playing in Europe, I had the quality to be part of it. I told him: 'if you call me up, I would like you to give me opportunities , so I can show if I have what it takes'. So, he said he would think about it. Then, Daniel Alves broke his leg. He called me up for a friendly during the 2017 holidays, against Argentina and Australia. With Argentina, I played five minutes. In Australia, I played the whole time. Afterwards, he didn't call me up again", added Rafinha.
Rafinha says that the last straw was when Tite showered him with praise, but he preferred to call up other athletes in position. Thus, the multiple champion with Rubro Negro was left out of the 2018 World Cup. It is worth remembering that he was still playing for Bayern Munich (ALE).
"So, I was angry. He called me up during the holidays, I I had asked for a sequel and I didn't get it. I was frustrated, because he always said in an interview: “Rafinha does a great job at Bayern” and I don't know what. My Bayern teammates didn't understand why I wasn't called. I wasn't called for the World Cup, I respect Danilo and Fagner, who were called up, but I could have helped", concluded Rafinha.
Tite and Rafinha now find themselves in opposite situations, the full-back represents São Paulo , after leaving Rubro Negro in 2020, and has already decided that he will retire at the end of 2024, while the coach leads the Flamengo team and is just at the beginning of a long journey.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.
This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.
The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.
Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.
Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.
A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.
The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.

Flamengo only drew 1-1 with Vasco, last Sunday (15). Mais Querido came to dominate a good part of the match, but due to defensive errors, Cruzmaltino scored the goal that tied the score. The first was from Léo Pereira, but on the counterattack, Fabrício Bruno and Evrtton Araújo also did not miss. After the goal, there was an argument between Tite and the red and black number 4.
At the beginning of the play, Léo Pereira is in attack, where he makes a good move on the left wing. However, the defender falls and loses the ball. Vasco's goal had a ball sent from right to left, where the defender should have been, leaving the side free for the smooth cross to reach Coutinho.
Soon after Vasco's goal, Tite argued with Léo Pereira, signaling an error by the defender in the attack. The defender did not like the reprimand, and appears to respond to the coach effusively, until he turns his back and swings his arm behind him.
