The draw in the classic between Flamengoand Vasco was particularly frustrating for Tite, who hoped to leave with the three points. Despite recognizing the team's good performance on the field, the final result was not what was desired, generating frustration not only for him, but also among the fans, who had high expectations for the match.

Coach Tite, from Flamengo, confirmed that Gabigol, one of the club's recent idols, now occupies third place in the team's attack. The decision sparked discussions among fans and experts, but, according to the coach, the choice was based on technical criteria and recent performance. During a press conference, Tite was asked about the change in the attack hierarchy and explained the reasons that led him to prefer other players in front of Gabigol. “Training, games, specifically.

Carlinhos decisive against Bolívar. Carlinhos decisive against Atlético Mineiro, with a goal. Decisive against Vitória. That's why the option was made", said the coach, highlighting Carlinhos' recent performances as a key factor in his decision.

This change in command of the attack reflects Tite's management style, which values ​​performance and meritocracy. Since arriving at Flamengo, the coach has adopted a discourse that no one has a guaranteed place in the team, regardless of name or history. This can be clearly seen in this decision, in which a player like Gabigol, who was once crucial. in Flamengo's recent titles, he loses space to a colleague who is going through a good phase.

Although he is a renowned player and beloved by the fans, his current phase has not been as brilliant as that of other periods of his career. In training and games, according to Tite, Gabigol has not been able to stand out to the point of regaining his starting position.

Matheus Gonçalves, Flamengo's young promise, clearly demonstrated his preference to continue at the Rio club, despite proposals received from other teams both in Brazil and abroad. In a statement to UOL, the athlete highlighted his emotional bond with Rubro-Negro, a club he has defended since he was 12 years old. For him, the Flamengo is the ideal place to continue developing his career and where he believes he can have more opportunities for growth.

This choice reflects the strong bond that Gonçalves has with the team and his vision that he can gain more space in the main team. In a market where young talents often seek international transfers in search of greater visibility and financial return, the midfielder chooses to remain at the club he considers his favorite team. This emotional connection, combined with confidence in his potential, reinforces the player's desire to consolidate his position in the red and black squad.

FLAMENGO HAS A DECISION POINT

With outstanding passages in the youth categories, Matheus Gonçalves attracted the attention of the public and experts due to his talent and performance on the field. However, the decision to remain at Flamengocan be seen as a strategic step, both for his career and for the club itself, which seeks to maintain its young values ​​in the squad.
