In the victory of Flamengoabout Bahia, Matheus Bachi, Tite's technical assistant, highlighted the resumption of the style of play that the team had been trying to consolidate since the arrival of the new technical committee. In a direct and blunt speech, Bachi highlighted the return of a more aggressive and intense posture, both with and without the ball.
"This is the face of our team", stated Bachi, reinforcing that the performance seen on the field reflects the identity that the team seeks to consolidate. Flamengo, under Tite's command, had been wavering in some matches, but against Bahia, the team presented a standard of play more in line with what the coaching staff expects. This "face" mentioned by Bachi is linked to an imposing stance, of making the opponent suffer to keep up with the Flamengo rhythm.
However, Bachi also stressed that when the Flamengois without the ball, the behavior must be equally intense and aggressive. "When we don't have the ball, we attack the guys," he commented. This reflects the idea of high marking, putting pressure on the opponent in their defense, with the aim of recovering the ball as quickly as possible and maintaining control of the actions.
This approach is common in teams who seek modern and offensive football. The idea is that, even without possession, the team maintains a proactive stance, suffocating the opponent and reducing their space to create plays. This aggressive marking is not just a matter of physical effort, but also of tactical organization, something that Tite and his coaching staff are trying to implement at Flamengo.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

This Monday (16), rumors emerged involving Bahia's interest in signing Gabigol, striker from Mais Querido. According to the channel Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Tricolor de Aço would have entered the dispute for Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengojust until December this year. In addition to Bahia, clubs such as Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Santos would also be keeping an eye on the player.
Despite the speculation, the Bahia board was quick to deny any ongoing negotiations to count on the shirt 99 from Mengão. According to the club's leadership, there is no intention of repeating an operation similar to that carried out with Everton Ribeiro.
As soon as news of the supposed interest began to circulate, Bahia tried to clarify the situation. In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season. The information of possible interest, therefore, was directly denied by Tricolor's directors.
Even so, the attacker remains one of the most targeted names in the transfer market for 2025, as he is in the final stretch of contract with Flamengoand you can now sign a pre-contract with any other team.
With Bahia's denial, Corinthians remains the main favorite to sign Gabigol from next year. The possibility of the red-black striker wearing the Timão shirt gains strength, especially after coach Tite appointed Gabigol as the third option for Mengão's attacking command, behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
