After the 1-1 draw between Flamengo e Vasco, Tite took more than an hour to attend the post-game press conference, leaving journalists and fans curious about the reason for the wait. When finally starting the press conference, Flamengo's coach explained that the delay was a consequence of a need to process the result and balance his emotions.


According to Tite, the red-black team's performance during the classic was positive, but the score it didn't reflect what he expected from the game. "My delay was precisely to assimilate the team's great performance, but the lack of results", stated the coach. He highlighted that he was visibly uncomfortable with the draw, which led him to seek calm before talking to the press: "I was upset, that's why it took me so long to come. I have to balance myself to talk to you."

This is not the first time that Tite admits to needing time to control his emotions after matches that do not bring the expected result. The coach, known for his meticulousness, tends to be thoughtful in his statements, avoiding making hasty analyzes right after games, when emotions are still running high.

The draw in the classic between Flamengoand Vasco was particularly frustrating for Tite, who hoped to leave with the three points. Despite recognizing the team's good performance on the field, the final result was not what was desired, generating frustration not only for him, but also among the fans, who had high expectations for the match.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (17), after a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. After the final whistle, striker Cristiane spoke out and made harsh criticisms of the refereeing.


Flamengo's Cristiane, after elimination from the Copa do Brasil: "It was biased refereeing"


"Everyone saw today's match , no need to even talk about it. The refereeing was biased, and it also went wrong in São Paulo's favor. But when the refereeing ends up deciding the match, it gets complicated . I don't know the choices made for a game as big as this, Flamengo vs. São Paulo," the player declared.


She continued: " Unfortunately, today had a big impact on us . We've made significant progress compared to the beginning of the year, that's clear. But when the refereeing has a direct impact, it gets difficult," Cristiane concluded.

HOW WAS THE GAME?


The first half of the derby was evenly matched. São Paulo started better, but after 20 minutes, Flamengo began to control possession. Even so, neither team managed to score before halftime . In the second half, the São Paulo team came back with more intensity and capitalized on a defensive lapse. Duda Serrana appeared unmarked to score the winning goal and secure the tricolor's place in the semifinals.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT CHALLENGE

After being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the Meninas da Gávea return to the field this Saturday (20), for their debut in the Campeonato Carioca, against Búzios, at 3 pm (Brasília time). Flamengo is the current state champion and holds the hegemony in women's football in Rio , with eight titles won so far.

Facundo Colidio's name has been circulating among Flamengo fans again this week. The Argentine striker, who was once on Flamengo's radar for a 2024 deal, took the field in the Libertadores clash between River Plate and Palmeiras, but had a low-key performance and became the target of ridicule from Brazilian fans .


FRUSTRATED NEGOTIATION IN 2024


At the time, Flamengo opened talks to sign the 25-year-old center forward, but were stymied by River Plate's high asking price and the player's own desire to remain in Buenos Aires. The Argentine club agreed to renew his contract until 2031, responding to a request from coach Marcelo Gallardo, who considered Colidio an important player in the squad.


By 2024, the striker had scored seven goals in 25 matches. Without an agreement, Flamengo reorganized its attacking plans, while Colidio remained at Monumental de Núñez . This season, he has scored nine times in 30 appearances.

RED-BLACK FANS REACT


After the match against Palmeiras, many Flamengo fans took to social media to mock the player. One wrote: "And this Colidio guy? He's incredibly stubborn about not wanting to negotiate with Flamengo ... At most, he's fighting for a spot on the bench with Cebolinha."

Another was even more acidic: " This Colidio has every appearance of a Santos player from the last decade ." A third summed it up: "This Colidio is horrible." The general tone was one of relief that the deal hadn't gone through in the past.

FLAMENGO VIA COLIDIO AS PEDRO'S SUBSTITUTE

The interest in Colidio arose at a time of internal instability at Flamengo. Pedro had lost ground to Filipe Luís, and some of the board considered negotiating him for around €15 million . In this context, Colidio emerged as an option to fill the center-forward role, a debate that sparked disagreements between CEO José Boto and president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP).
