The Flamengo suffered a tough defeat on Sunday night, losing 4-1 to Botafogo at Nilton Santos. It was the first victory under the command of Tite, who praised his rival in the press conference after the match, but stated that Rubro-Negro "can't concede four goals".

- Congratulations to Botafogo for the great The game he played maintained a very regular level in the first and second half, always at a high level. Football has to know how to look at the other side and recognize it, even with all the pain of defeat. Flamengo cannot lose 4-1, cannot concede four goals, we are aware of that. But at the same time it is important to consider important factors.


Asked about the choice of Victor Hugo instead of Arrascaeta when the Uruguayan was injured at the start of the game, even though he had Lorran in the squad, Tite preferred not to explain:


- When he gets into specific situations he is very punctual, it's not my profile. When the team loses, it loses in its context, it loses as a whole. If Victor Hugo had started well, with good results, the question would be the opposite. Our entire team didn't have it, and especially when it was in the second half that the team began to fall apart in physical terms. It was falling, falling, falling, and we looked and noticed it. And Botafogo's intensity remained because it has quality, verticality, and a team with physical structure and an extra day of recovery.

With the result in the classic, Flamengo remains with 41 points, five points behind less than the leader Botafogo, with 46. Rubro-negro now needs to turn the key to the Libertadores da América. This is because there is a decisive game at altitude against Bolívar, for a place in the quarter-finals.


In the first match, Tite's men won at Maracanã 2-0 and have an advantage of losing by up to one goal of difference to pass. As for the Brasileirão, Fla will only return to the field next Sunday, at 4pm, against Bragantino, at Maracanã.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.

Players who have these characteristics... apart from his header. When the game is designed, sometimes this adaptation is necessary. The game will demand it, and the field will speak.

- In the previous answer I answered your question, the field speaks and it doesn't have it, it doesn't have it. There is adaptation to the players who are from the sector - said the coach, who added:
