The story of Flamengo generates different types of emotions in fans and former club employees when they remember their moments at Ninho do Urubu. This time, Joel Santana, former coach of Rubro Negro, was the one who was moved when visiting the Museu do Mais Querido. Furthermore, the former coach also said that he is proud to be part of history.
"Joy, gratitude, a club that I have been to several times, I get emotional, it's normal. I was part of this history, I left a little piece of my life here. This gives me great pride, not only the club, the fans, the people who celebrate and live for Flamengo. This is a very big force here, it's not just a club, it's a Nation. May it continue to present Flamengo's history from rowing to where we are here, in football, basketball. This is very strong, it's very big", said Joel Santana, in an interview with 'FlaTV'.
JOEL'S DRAWBOARD AT THE MUSEUMOne of Joel Santana's objects at the Museum Flamengo is the drawing board. This is because, during the period he was at Rubro Negro, it became common to see the coach using this work tool. Afterwards, the coach characterized himself due to the instrument he took to the bench.
"Everyone used the clipboard, but they were embarrassed. Now everyone uses a pad, a little piece of paper. The clipboard was the following: no one can play with 80, 90 thousand people and remember everything, so we wrote what we wanted to say. We had, at most, 8 to 10 minutes in the locker room; we have to explain why we are saying what we are saying. That's why that people called me Papa Joel, because I was detail-oriented. It was part of my history. It's here, I left it at the Flamengo Museum so that people can see the drawing board", concluded Joel Santana about the old object of work .
JOEL SANTANA'S PASSAGE AT FLAMENGOJoel Santana had several spells at Mais Querido. In this way, the coach was on the sidelines for Rubro Negro on 199 occasions. With this, he has 114 wins, 45 draws and 40 defeats. In total, he scored 65%.

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.

This past Sunday (21), former Flamengo coach, Jorge Sampaoli, used his social networks to apologize after his controversial statement in the French magazine "SoFoot" about French striker Ousmane Dembélé. In a post in his stories, the Argentinian stated that it was never his intention to refer to autism, apologized and agreed that it is necessary to be careful with his words.
Jorge Sampaoli's controversial statement was after the former coach red- black person being invited to analyze the European Championship. The Argentine criticized Dembélé's individualism and said that the French striker plays "like an autistic person."
"When he goes after (the marker), the other players become spectators who only watch how the play will end. They know he plays like an autistic person: he starts and finishes the play alone. He doesn't have the ability to make a teammate shine, he just knows how to make himself shine," said Jorge Sampaoli.
SAMPAOLI WAS STRONGLY CRITICIZED AFTER STATEMENTSSoon after his statement was published by the French magazine, Sampaoli received a storm of criticism. The Argentine's speech had repercussions across Europe, but the coach didn't take long to recognize his mistake and apologize in an official note.
SAMPAOLI'S PASS BY FLAMENGOJorge Sampaoli was fired from Flamengo at the end of September. The coach stayed at Rubro-Negro for just over six months, but did not convince the fans, who had a hard time with the coach in charge of Mais Querido. The Argentine was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, and was runner-up in the Copa do Brasil to São Paulo.
