Flamengo plays the last game of its journey this Thursday with absences caused by the Copa América. Against Fortaleza, at 8pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, Tite's team can finish the round consolidated in the lead of the Brazilian Championship and reap good results for the season. The match marks the end of a challenging period for the red and black team, who had to deal with several important absences in their squad.
There will be nine matches with absences. Flamengo was the team most affected by the calendar with games taking place during the Copa América. Fla had five casualties, with Erick Pulgar returning after the group stage, as he was eliminated with Chile. Arrascaeta, Varela, De la Cruz and Viña remain with the Uruguay team, still competing in the competition. Even with so many absences, Flamengo managed to maintain a good performance.
Fla has five wins, one draw and one defeat in the period. The 16 points from 24 played were essential for the team to take the lead. This is one of the legacies of the most complicated period of the season. The ability to maintain competitiveness even without some of its main stars shows the depth and resilience of the squad led by Tite.
Another advantage is the strength of the group. Several players went to the field in sacrifice, especially because Fla also suffered from injuries, in addition to playing improvised in some situations. The group bought the technical committee's ideas to make the period work and this has been celebrated at Ninho do Urubu. The unity and commitment of the players stood out as a crucial factor in overcoming the difficulties.
Leadership was also consolidated. Gerson, David Luiz and Pedro became technical references and within the locker room. They already had an active voice on a daily basis, but the period consolidates them as important names in the team. The role of these leaders was essential in maintaining the team's morale and cohesion during the most challenging moments.
"Forgotten" became an option. Wesley and Léo Ortiz were the players who played little and stood out the most in these weeks. The first can fight for a place with Varela, while the second, without a place in defense, can compete for a position in midfield. Another who played improvised was Léo Pereira, who became a reserve among the defenders, but did well as a left-back. These adaptations enriched the team and gave Tite new tactical options.
Young people gain confidence. Lorran was the one who gained the most minutes and, despite the lack of regularity, was praised by Tite. The coach understands that he still needs maturity, but the boy could appear as an important player in the game until the end of 2024. Others like Victor Hugo, Everton Araújo and even Matheus Gonçalves gained some minutes. These young talents had the opportunity to develop and contribute to the first team.
Pedro establishes himself as an idol. The striker was booed at the beginning of the year and just under five months later there is a flag in the stands and music in his honor. Decisive and fundamental for Flamengo in the last few games, he has established himself among the club's main names. The time of problems with Gabigol also helped in this sense. Flamengo could end the period with 70.37% success rate if they win today, something that many people would not think of. In the seven Brasileirão games before the national team competition, the success rate was 66.66%.
The club turns on the alert

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.
The club goes to the market

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
