Fans' expectations are renewed with each match, as Flamengo under Tite's command continues to consolidate itself as a cohesive and competitive team. The coach, known for his tactical discipline and ability to form solid teams, has left his mark on Rubro-Negro, bringing a new identity to the club. One of the most notable aspects of this evolution is the consolidation of a solid and reliable defense.


A SOLID AND RELIABLE DEFENSE


Under Tite's guidance, Flamengo adopted a stance defensive more organized, with players demonstrating greater tactical understanding and commitment to their roles. The result has been a significant reduction in the number of goals conceded, which has been key to the team's recent successes. In addition to the defense, the Flamengo midfield also underwent positive transformations. Tite has worked to balance the players' characteristics, seeking harmony between play creation and defensive protection.


This translates into a compacted midfield, in which players move in a coordinated manner, both in the defensive and offensive phases. Although the main focus of Tite whether in the defensive organization or control of the midfield, Flamengo's attack has also shown its efficiency. Even in games in which the team is unable to score, the presence of talented players such as Cebolinha and others ensures that Rubro-Negro always poses danger to the opponent.

Technical quality combined with tactical discipline has been the key to ensure that Flamengo achieves positive results, even in difficult matches. In high-level football, victory is not always accompanied by a spectacle of goals. However, Tite's Flamengo has demonstrated that it is possible to delight fans not only with an overwhelming offensive game, but also with a solid, intelligent and efficient performance.


The goal scored by Cebolinha yesterday is a perfect example of this: a work of art built on the tactical discipline and individual quality of the players. Fans are excited about what's to come, confident that the team is on the right path to winning important titles. With a solid defense, a balanced midfield and an efficient attack, Rubro-Negro promises to do well in 2024, leaving its mark not only for the number of goals scored, but also for the quality of the game presented.

Flamengo is expected to field: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Allan (Saúl) and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Bruno Henrique (Pedro) and Gonzalo Plata (Luiz Araújo) . The team is banking on the Uruguayan's return to provide greater attacking creativity and control the pace of the away game.

The likely starting lineup for Internacional under coach Roger Machado should be: Rochet; Aguirre, Vitão, Juninho and Bernabei; Thiago Maia, Alan Rodríguez, Wesley, Alan Patrick and Carbonero (Tabata); Ricardo Mathias.
