FLAMENGO BLINDA TITE IN THE FACE OF CRITICISM AND KEEP CONFIDENCE IN THE COACH

Flamengo's attention is divided between two important commitments: the next game against Amazonas and the decisive match for the Copa Libertadores against Millonarios. The Rio club needs to guarantee classification in the group stage without depending on results from third parties, especially Palestino. Meanwhile, the Colombian team faces a series of injury problems that could favor Flamengo in the decisive clash.

Millionarios' absences for the game against Flamengo became a greater concern for coach Alberto Gamero after the new injuries suffered by Jhoan Hernández and Stiven Vega last Sunday (19). Hernández left the field in the 66th minute and Vega in the 82nd minute, both during the match against Bucaramanga, which resulted in a 1-0 defeat.

These injuries are added to those of Cataño, Leo Castro and Giordana, making a total of five important players out of action. Gamero commented on the situation of his players, indicating that Giordana is the closest to returning, although there is still no confirmation. Leo Castro there is still no news, Cataño is recovering from surgery, Vega needs to undergo an MRI after twisting his right knee, and Hernández suffered a bruise on the sole of his left foot.

"Who seems to be close to me? to return is (Santiago) Giordana, who started doing field work. I have no news about Leo Castro (Daniel) Cataño had surgery sprained his right knee and will have an MRI to see how bad it was. a bruise on the sole of the left foot, on the plantar fascia. They probably won't play on Wednesday or Saturday. It hurts a lot," said Gamero.

Flamengo is taking significant steps to complete the construction of its own stadium. The club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, recently met with federal deputy Pedro Paulo to discuss and try to speed up the behind-the-scenes procedures of this important project.

In a crucial phase of the negotiations, Flamengo's board has sought support politician to overcome bureaucratic challenges and advance the planning of the new stadium. The meeting with deputy Pedro Paulo reflects the club's strategy of engaging influential figures in the political scene to ensure that the project moves quickly through government corridors.

The construction of its own stadium has been an old dream of the red and black fans and the club's management, which currently plays its games mainly at Maracanã, a historic stadium, but which does not belong to Flamengo. Having your own home represents not only autonomy and identity for the club, but also the possibility of increasing its revenue, without the need to share profits with the Maracanã administration.

Details about the exact location of the new stadium are still pending. in the definition phase, but several areas in Rio de Janeiro have been considered. Choosing the land is one of the most complex stages of the process, involving analyzes of technical feasibility, accessibility, environmental impact and, of course, the support of the local community.

The renowned sports commentator Mauro Cezar Pereira, in his participation in the program "Posse de Bola" on UOL Esporte, launched harsh criticisms of the Flamengo team coach, Tite. According to Cezar, the coach has not demonstrated the necessary skill to adapt the game system to the characteristics of the Rio club's players, preferring to bring athletes to fit into his pre-established tactical scheme. FLAMENGO THE CAST IS "ENGAGED" WITH TITE

For the commentator, it is imperative that Tite stops insisting on this approach and starts taking advantage of the potential of the players already in the squad do Flamengo, adjusting the game system according to your individual skills. Cezar highlighted that this tactical rigidity can have negative consequences, citing the example of the World Cup, where Tite tried to implement his style of play with the player Vinícius and was unsuccessful.

"The issue is simple: he (Tite) has to use the potential of the players and adapt the system to these players", stated Mauro Cezar during the program. "He already did this in the World Cup with Vinícius and got it wrong, he sometimes insists on the same mistake", he added.

These criticisms come at a crucial moment for Flamengo , which seeks to remain in the fight for the main titles of the season. With a base of talented players and a robust squad, many expect the Rio team to achieve impressive results under Tite's command. However, recent performances have left something to be desired, which has raised questions about the coach's ability to get the best out of his players.
