This Wednesday (25), Flamengo played against Grêmio, losing 3-2, coming from behind. The attacking scheme that Tite opted for in this match was made up of Pedro, Arrascaeta, Gerson and Everton. Both Bruno Henrique and Gabigol started the match on the bench, only being called up in the second half.

However, unlike number 27, Gabriel has already been facing the bench with some regularity. This was the seventh game in a row in which the number 10 started from outside the field, which is his personal record. Since arriving at the team in 2019, he had never spent so many games in a row without starting.


The last match in which Gabriel Barbosa started for Fla was in the first game of the Copa do Brasil final, against São Paulo, on September 17th, when the team was still under the command of Sampaoli. Gabigol was a reserve in Goiás X Flamengo (20/09) and in the national championship decision.

When interim coach Mário Jorge took over the team, after the Argentinian's dismissal, he maintained this standard for two matches, as did Tite.


Pedro is the one who is benefiting most from this new 'phase' of Gabigol. The striker didn't have many chances to show his talent throughout the year, even though he was Mais Querido's top scorer this season, but now he is the coach's first option. But why?

The coach is giving space for the two to show their talents on the field, but seems to rely more on Pedro for his tactical scheme, considering that he intends to reformulate the team's defensive system .


Since arriving at Mengão, Tite has made it clear that he will not give up Flamengo's defensive balance, despite the talent in the midfield. Therefore, he has no problem keeping the duo in games, prioritizing the youngest, who has a more backwards style of play. The coach already has some experience with the striker, having collaborated with him at the World Cup in Qatar last year.

However, one should not imagine that Tite has left Gabriel aside. He actually has a plan for the star: play vertically. In fact, all the personalized and specific physical work that the ex-Brazilian team's team has done with the number 10 is with this focus.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.

This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.


THE CLUB HAS ANOTHER LOSS 

The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.

Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.

Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.

A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>

However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.

The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.
