Forward Marinho, formerly of Santos and Flamengo, participated in the podcast "Denílson Show", and recalled his time at Rubro Negro. In his presentation in January 2022, the player did not hide his excitement at wearing the Sacred Mantle, as it is his father's favorite team. Now at Fortaleza, Marinho did not hide his satisfaction at having played for the "Biggest club in Brazil", as he himself defined it.
"My father said that, before he left, he wanted to see me in the Flamengo shirt. For more that Marinho couldn't be the guy I expected from me, I managed to win at the club. I managed to be champion, I scored in the Libertadores semi-final. I played in the Copa do Brasil. I participated too", said Marinho, in an interview with the podcast ' Denílson Show'.
"I don't get frustrated with that 'I'm only important if I had played…' thing. I know it contributed to the minutes I was on the field. That's valuable to me. I managed to play at the biggest club in the world. Brazil, I managed to become champion, I scored goals and provided assists. I didn't deliver what I expected, but I won titles and it was what I dreamed of", added Marinho.
PRESSURE FOR GOOD PERFORMANCESMarinho arrived at Mais Querido with the pressure of having been the "King of America" in 2020, for Santos. In the team from Baixada Santos, the striker stood out for beautiful goals, individual plays and a lot of speed. However, at Flamengo, the success was not the same, and the player spent most of his time on the bench.
“I created expectations for playing for Santos and wanting to take Marinho do Santos to the Flamengo. The expectation was mine. I said: 'I have to be Marinho do Santos'. But cycles end. When I left Santos it was supposed to close, Marinho do Flamengo would have to be someone else. I always scored goals and prepared my play to score the goals. I created very high expectations and I was wrong about that", concluded Marinho.
DIGREEMENT WITH JORGE SAMPAOLI AND CONSEQUENTLY GOODBYEIn May of this year, Marinho had a disagreement with coach Jorge Sampaoli and ended up being removed from the squad. Training alone, the attacker waited for an offer to leave Mais Querido. Therefore, the player went to Fortaleza.
With that, Marinho left Flamengo with 60 games, six goals and nine assists. Furthermore, the player was champion of the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. The memorable moment he mentioned was precisely in the continental competition, when he scored against Vélez Sarsfield (ARG), in the second leg of the semi-final, at Maracanã.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
