Tite found himself without weapons during the game

The Flamengohas shown important fluctuations throughout the season, and the recent game reflects these ups and downs well. Under Tite's command, the team even played good football at different moments of the match. However, when compromising individual errors occur, it becomes difficult to sustain a positive result, no matter how good the collective performance. The decisive mistakes of Matheus Cunha and Carlinhos were decisive for the defeat.
Matheus Cunha, in the opponent's second goal, made a mistake that can be described as unacceptable at a professional level. A goalkeeper's failure is always more evident, as he is the last man between the ball and the net. A mistake like his, at that crucial moment, destabilized the team that, until then, had maintained good control of the match. The error was the type of mistake that, in high-level competitions, is severely punished.
Already Carlinhos , with his immature stance, he was responsible for a failure that only worsens Flamengo's situation. Being "juvenile" in a move means acting hastily or recklessly, something that players with less experience are more likely to do. However, in a team like Flamengo, the expectation is that all players, regardless of age or experience, maintain a high level of concentration. Carlinhos' lack of maturity was costly.
It should be noted that, despite individual errors, the team had good moments during the game. Under Tite's leadership, the team demonstrated that it has the quality to compete at a high level, but just having lapses in good football is not enough. Consistency is essential, and serious individual failures can undermine the entire collective effort. The pressure now falls on Tite, who will have to work quickly to adjust these flaws and ensure that Flamengo maintains its trajectory in search of titles.

The 3-2 defeat to Grêmio this Sunday (22) was not the only bad news for Flamengo. Striker Carlinhos was sent off in the 13th minute of the second half, marking the club's second red card in Brasileirão 2024; the first was by Carlos Alcaraz, in his debut against Corinthians. Interestingly, Flamengo is the club that received the least punishments in the competition.
Up until the 27th round, Rubro-Negro had accumulated 48 cards, 46 of which were yellow and only two were red. Next, Bahia, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Vasco appear in the top-5. On the other hand, the clubs most punished are Atlético-GO, Juventude, Vitória, Corinthians and Criciúma.

p>Carlinhos move
Carlinhos was sent off after a move in which he hit Grêmio defender Kannemann in the face. The expulsion sparked outrage among Flamengo fans, as the referee had his back turned to the play and did not consult the VAR.
Embezzlement in the next roundWith the expulsion, Carlinhos will be left out of Flamengo's next match, which will face Athletico-PR at Maracanã, on Sunday (29), at 8 pm (Brasília time). Bruno Henrique and Gabigol are among the options for the center forward position, remembering that Pedro is out for the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. Flamengo x Peñarol
However, Carlinhos is available to Tite for the clash against Peñarol (URU), for the return of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores, which will take place on Thursday (26), at 7pm (Brasília time), in Uruguay. After the 1-0 defeat in the first game, Flamengo needs to win by two or more goals to qualify directly. A victory by just one goal will lead to penalties.
The goalkeeper did not perform well for Mais Querido's goal

Tite chose to use different goalkeepers in specific tournaments, an approach that aims, among other factors, to keep players fresh and motivated. In the current scenario, the change of goalkeepers mainly involves Matheus Cunha, who has gained space in the Brasileirão, and Agustín Rossi, who many believe to be the ideal name to compete in knockout competitions, such as the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.
Matheus Cunha, young goalkeeper of Flamengo, was a commitment from the club and has shown consistency in the competitions it has played in so far. However, even with good performances, there are those who believe that the pressure of more intense tournaments, such as the Libertadores and the final stretch of the Copa do Brasil, may be too high for a player still in the maturing phase.
TITE'S CHOICE FOR THE WORLD CUPS
Tite's option to keep him as a starter in the Brazilian Championship makes sense when considering the profile of the competition. The Brasileirão, as it is a straight points tournament, allows more opportunities for recovery after specific errors. Thus, Matheus Cunha has the chance to gain more experience in an environment that, although challenging, offers a greater margin for error compared to knockout tournaments.
On the other hand, Agustín Rossi is seen as a better choice safe for knockout competitions. The goalkeeper Argentine has experience in high-pressure games, mainly due to his performances at his former club, Boca Juniors, where he was involved in decisive Libertadores clashes. Rossi has already demonstrated security under the goalposts, being a better-rounded goalkeeper and accustomed to the tension of games that require high performance and few errors.
Tite's choice to put Rossi in to compete in the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores seems strategic, as these tournaments require a goalkeeper profile with the ability to decide in key moments, where a mistake could cost the team elimination.
