0This Thursday (19), Flamengo beat Cruzeiro 2-0, at Mineirão, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. With the result, Mais Querido entered the G4 and continues to pursue the objective of qualifying for the Libertadores.
In his debut in charge of Flamengo, Tite went through some difficult moments in the first stage. But with great tactical reading, the coach managed to adjust the team during the game and managed to reach his goals with Ayrton Lucas and Pedro.
During the press conference, Tite spoke about the challenge of taking on the Flamengo at this point in the season. The coach assured that this is challenging and will require a lot of progress in his work.
“Speaking directly, it would be much more comfortable to take over Flamengo at the beginning of the championship, but coming here at this moment is something challenging. This will require a gradual evolution of the work”, said Tite.
The next commitment of the coach and the Flamengo squad is nothing more, nothing less than the classic against Vasco da Gama. The match will take place next Sunday, at Maracanã. In this sense, the red and black team can push Cruzmaltino even further into the relegation zone.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
