Tite, current coach of Flamengo, recently responded to criticism about the team's playing style, which has been the target of questions from the press and fans. In the midst of the final stretch of the season, the pressure on the coach is increasing, and expectations surrounding Flamengo's results are high. However, Tite made a point of explaining his approach and the strategy he is implementing in the team, reinforcing that there is a logic behind his decisions on the field.
During a press conference, the coach stated that the The focus of his work is on maintaining control of the game and using the right moments to attack the opponent. He said that when the team “plays a little to one side, a little to the other”, it does not mean that there is no intention of attacking. On the contrary, this movement aims to wear down the opponent so that, at a later time, they can make a more effective attack. For Tite, this strategy is crucial, especially in high-intensity matches, in which it is necessary to balance defense and attack to avoid gaps. This type of approach is part of a broader playing philosophy, which Tite had already adopted at other times in his career, including his time with the Brazilian national team. The coach is known for being meticulous in his tactical schemes, always seeking to make the best use of the players available in the squad. At Flamengo, this has been no different. The team, full of talented players, requires rigorous control so that each athlete can perform efficiently and within a well-defined system. The criticism that Tite has received revolves around what many consider to be a Too pragmatic playing style, with little boldness and offensiveness. Part of the fans and the sports press argue that Flamengo , with the squad they have, they should propose the game more, be more incisive in offensive actions and less withdrawn at certain moments. This argument is especially fueled by the expectations surrounding a team with renowned players, such as Gabigol, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique, who are seen as fundamental pieces for a more offensive style. However, Tite refutes this view . He highlighted that the modern game demands more than just attacking football and that a balance between attack and defense is essential for success in high-level competitions. According to him, Flamengo cannot simply "attack for the sake of attacking", without taking into account the defensive solidity and the physical exhaustion that each match imposes. This type of more calculated approach is, for Tite, a way of preserving the team during the 90 minutes and, at the same time, ensuring that the team is always in a favorable position to achieve victory.
