FLAMENGO IS THE SELECTION! EX CORINTHIANS SAYS TITE'S EXPERIENCE IN THE BRAZILIAN TEAM WILL HELP HIM UNDERSTAND MENGÃO

The coach would already be prepared to deal with players like those from Mais Querido as he is used to working with 'heavyweight' and 'star' athletes

Former Corinthians player, Alex Meschini, said on a SporTV program that Tite's experience with the Brazilian team will be fundamental in being able to coach Flamengo, since both squads have big and important players. Dealing with this type of athlete is different, according to him.

Firstly, the commentator had been asked if he believed that the coach's 'marriage' with Rubro-Negro would 'match', that is, connect and work, to which he replied that there was a chance. The reasons are related not only to Tite's personality, but also to his experience and approach to work.

In addition to having stars, the Brazilian team is the focus of pressure for a coach. There is a lot of weight on the shoulders of the person responsible for leading this team, which is also the reality at Flamengo, which has the biggest fans in Brazil supporting it. Tite could be the key coach to know how to deal with this responsibility.

However, this 'power' that he held for six years while commanding the national team did not go to his head, in Alex's opinion, and only helped him. "He's a very simple guy. He's a very humble guy, very 'equal to equal,' he said, explaining the 'human' character he has during his work. 


"He calls himself he'll put you [in the game] and he'll tell you if he's going to take you out [of the game]. So he, practically, creates a type of human culture", explained the commentator, also talking about examples of professionals who are moved by the work he has done and by the emotional connection he creates with others: "that's the weight he has , because of human beings (...) these guys don't win for nothing."

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 DEARLY 

The 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.

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.
