Flamengo's elimination in the quarter-finals of Libertadores 2024, after the 0-0 draw with Peñarol in Uruguay, provoked harsh criticism from fans and the sports press. Among the most incisive comments, narrator Galvão Bueno used his social networks to question the tactical inefficiency of the team led by Tite and the lack of rehearsed plays to overcome the opposing defense.

"Who expected a more offensive Peñarol? at home they were completely mistaken. Flamengo, once again, showed that they have renowned players, but no planned play that disarms the defense of a well-positioned defense", said Galvão, referring to the red-black team's performance during the match.< /p>



PLAYERS' INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE WAS QUESTIONED

In addition to criticizing the lack of tactical variations, the veteran narrator of 74 years also highlighted the absence of great chances created by the CRF. "After Tite's press conference, in which he stated that 'a goal would come in Montevideo', I expected some rehearsed play, but Flamengo limited themselves to crosses in the area, hitting the opponent's defense."

Regarding the players, Galvão highlighted the lackluster performance of Gabigol, who came on in the second half, but was unable to make a difference. "Gabigol came in. Did anyone see him touch the ball? Nothing was done so he could participate in the game and try something."



ARRASCAETA AND DE LA CRUZ ALSO RECEIVED CRITICISM

The sports narrator also made direct criticisms of two of the main names in the red and black squad: Arrascaeta and De la Cruz. "I'm still waiting for the two: Arrascaeta and De la Cruz. They should have commanded the midfield, creating opportunities with Gerson. Arrascaeta doesn't even remotely resemble the player who was considered the best active in South American football. And De la Cruz looks like he left his football at Monumental de Núñez, in River Plate."

Unable to overcome the necessary challenges, Flamengo said goodbye to the Libertadores da América 2024 last Thursday (26 ), after being eliminated by Peñarol (URU). Coach Tite now faces a difficult time ahead of the team. Despite both internal and external pressure, there is no expectation that the coach will leave Rubro-Negro for now.

However, even without Tite's immediate departure, president Rodolfo Landim fears that Rodrigo's campaign will Dunshee could be compromised if Flamengo ends the season without winning a major title. Given this, the red and black directors began to consider dismissing the coach.


With the electoral scenario and the elimination in the Libertadores, Tite's name began to be questioned behind the scenes at the club for the first time. However, according to information from ESPN, the board does not intend to fire the coach before the Copa do Brasil dispute.


Chaotic Scenario

In addition to the elimination in the Libertadores , Flamengo is still competing in two important competitions in 2024: the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil. Next Sunday (29), the team will face Athletico-PR at Maracanã, in the 28th round of the Brasileirão.


If the team led by Tite suffers a defeat in this game, the coach's situation will become even more delicate . However, the Flamengo board does not plan to make any decisions before the first clash of the Copa do Brasil semi-finals, against Corinthians .

Thus, the expectation is that Tite will remain in charge until the decision of the Copa do Brasil, which will begin next Wednesday (02), when Rubro-Negro will host Corinthians at Maracanã. The return game is scheduled for October 17th, at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.
