Fluminense became champion of the Libertadores this Saturday (04), at Maracanã, by beating Boca Juniors (ARG) 2-1. Compared to Flamengo's season in 2022, it is interesting to note that the rival won the continental title with a revenue three times lower than Mais Querido.
With the victory of the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo reached the impressive mark of R$ 1 billion in revenue and ended the year 2022 with an amount of R$1,151 billion. On the other hand, Fluminense, which triumphed in the continental competition this year, recorded much more modest revenue, totaling just R$347 million. This figure represents only around a third of Rubro-Negro's revenue from the previous season.
For the 2023 season, Fluminense established a revenue projection of R$365.6 million, but expects to receive a slightly higher value due to winning the Libertadores. However, even so, the club will not come close to Flamengo's revenue. This is because Mais Querido surpassed the R$1 billion mark in revenue in September, suggesting that the expectation is that it will repeat the feat achieved in 2022. The information is from the Coluna do Fla website.
Despite the titles lost this season, Flamengo still maintains a clear objective for 2023: to guarantee a place in the 2024 Libertadores. Currently, Rubro-Negro occupies sixth place in the Brazilian Championship table, totaling 50 points. Therefore, the club needs a sequence of victories to guarantee its participation in the continental competition.
To return to the path of victories, Flamengo will face Fortaleza this Sunday (05), in a match valid for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash will take place at 4pm (Brasília time) at Arena Castelão, in Ceará. This game is extremely important for Flamengo's aspirations of securing their place in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
