His story illustrates a journey of resilience and recovery.

Hugo Souza arrived at Flamengo in 2017, coming from Brazilian youth football. With a promising career ahead of him, he quickly made a name for himself in the club's lower divisions and was promoted to the main squad. However, his time with the main team was marked by ups and downs, with moments of highlight mixed with failures that generated criticism from fans and the press.

A TURN TO THE TOP IN PORTUGAL AND BRAZIL 

Souza's relationship with the fans Flamengo became particularly difficult in 2020, when he had opportunities as a starter at critical moments. The goalkeeper faced moments of intense pressure, especially after some mistakes in important matches. Criticism came not only from experts and the media, but also from a significant part of the red and black fans, who did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction. The pressure on Souza was exacerbated by an environment in which mistakes are magnified and successes are often minimized.

The scenario that Hugo Souza found at Flamengo was challenging. The fans, known for their fervor and demand, were relentless in their criticism, which had a significant impact on the goalkeeper's confidence.

The decision of Tite sparing the cast entirely raises some questions. On the one hand, it preserves players for more important commitments and minimizes the risk of injuries at a time when physical exhaustion can be a serious problem. On the other hand, placing an alternative team in a Brazilian Championship match, which is still in dispute, can be seen as risky, as a defeat or even a draw could have consequences on the table.

In addition , the choice of David Luiz and Cleiton in defense and Allan and Everton Araújo in midfield suggests that Tite trusts in the depth of his squad. He seems to believe that, even with the changes, the team will be able to compete at a high level. This also gives reserve players a chance to show their value, which could be crucial for the squad's dynamics in the coming weeks.


FLAMENGO HAS ITS TOUGH TIME

Another relevant point of this strategy is the issue of integration. A team that doesn't usually play together may have difficulty adapting to the demands of a high-level match, especially against opponents who are playing for real and with their starting team. The lack of rhythm among players can be a challenge to be faced, but it is also an opportunity for these athletes to gain experience and adapt more quickly to the demands of elite football.

Tite, known for being A meticulous strategist, he must have considered these factors when choosing to rotate the squad at this point in the championship. The choices reflect a balance between the physical preservation of the main players and the need to keep the team competitive throughout the season. The expectation is that this decision, even if bold, will not compromise the team's performance in the championship.

This Sunday's clash will be an important test of the depth of the squad and the ability of reserve players to take on responsibilities at crucial moments. Cleiton, for example, will have the chance to show that he can be a reliable option for the defense in the future, and Allan and Everton Araújo will have the task of controlling the midfield and dictating the pace of the game.

This Sunday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, the coach Tite made a decision that caught attention: he will spare the entire starting team for the clash. With the tight schedule and sequence of games, the coach chose to preserve his main athletes for future commitments, focusing on keeping the squad in good physical condition and avoiding injuries. This rotation strategy, common in long competitions, reflects the need to keep the squad fresh and competitive in the decisive phases of the season.

In defense, Tite will bet on a formation with David Luiz, who brings experience to the sector, forming a duo with young Cleiton, one of the squad's promises. Cleiton will have a great opportunity to show his service and gain confidence playing alongside a veteran with experience with the Brazilian national team and prominent clubs in Europe. The choice of David Luiz for this match, even with the team being spared, demonstrates the importance of having leadership on the field to guide and organize the defense.
