Last Thursday (11), the Flamengo faced Fortaleza at Maracanã in the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship and was defeated 2-1. The Rio team, which was coming off an exhausting sequence of games, will now have a longer period of rest before return to the fields. Flamengo entered the field with the aim of adding three points to climb the Brasileirão leaderboard. However, the team led by coach Tite encountered difficulties against a Fortaleza that was well placed defensively and efficient in attack.
Right at the start of the game, Fortaleza opened the scoring with a goal from Yago Pikachu, taking advantage of a failure in the red-black defense. Flamengo even tried to react, but found it difficult to break through the opposing defense. In the second half, the Rio team managed to draw with a goal from Pedro, who scored again.
A BUCKET OF ICE IN THE CAMPAIGN
When it seemed like the Flamengo would turn the tide, Fortaleza surprised again and scored the second goal guaranteeing the victory for the visiting team. The defeat left Flamengo fans frustrated, as the team was on a positive run and was looking to establish itself in the G-4. After the match, coach Tite highlighted the need for adjustments in the team and highlighted that the rest period will be essential to correct mistakes and recover injured players. "We had a difficult game, but now it's time to work and correct our mistakes. Let's use this time to improve and come back stronger", said the coach at a press conference.
With more time to rest and train , Flamengo only returns to the field on July 20th, when they face Criciúma at the Mané Garrincha stadium. The game is seen as an opportunity for the team to recover in the competition and get back on the winning track.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.

The Flamengo continues to show its strength on the field when it faces Vasco, one of its biggest rivals in Rio football. In the last ten games between the two teams, Rubro-Negro has been impressively dominant, with eight wins, one draw and just one defeat. This retrospective reflects the most favorable phase of Flamengo, which has been standing out on the national and international scene in recent years.
While Flamengo accumulated important achievements, such as national and international titles, Vasco went through a phase of ups and downs, including drops to Series B, which may help explain the imbalance in the recent results of the classics. In the Rio classics, the rivalry between Flamengo and Vasco is one of the most intense in Brazilian football, and Flamengo's recent performance further solidifies its hegemony, at least with regard to direct confrontations with Cruzmaltino. Even with Vasco's tradition and rich history in football, the current numbers show Flamengo's clear superiority.
In addition to the achievements on the field , the club has invested in solid financial management and a high-level structure, which also contributes to maintaining good results. These factors are directly reflected in the classics against Vasco, where Flamengo comes in as favorites, something that wasn't always like this.
