FLAMENGO IDOL, ADRIANO IMPERADOR SENDS A MESSAGE TO GABIGOL

Fired this Monday morning, Tite< /a> failed to implement the expected performance at Flamengo since his arrival. Furthermore, the strong pressure from the fans would have influenced both the board and the coach himself. According to Lédio Carmona, the coach "felt" the weight of this situation. He appeared visibly dejected in the post-game press conference, and, even after the victory that kept the team in the G4 of the Brasileirão, the atmosphere of dismissal was already noticeable.

“He is emotionally fragile, I think he was unable to mobilize emotionally , in soul terms, the players. If you look at Flamengo's goal celebration, it will look like a goal at 15 in the first half, players celebrated in an almost cold way. And the information we have is that the locker room after the game is a very cold locker room”, analyzed Lédio.

Lédio Carmona highlighted that, in addition to the elimination in the Libertadores, the main reason for Tite has been underperforming, especially in recent months. The absence of Pedro, an essential player for the coach's scheme, left the team vulnerable, further exposing the team's flaws.

“He couldn't make the team play well, he couldn't find solutions, he couldn't It improved the players' mental side. And this brought reflections from the board in terms of this, on his emotional side, on the team's soul”, added Lédio.

Now, with Filipe Luís taking charge until the end of the year, the expectation is that there will be no there is only a change of name in the technical area, but also a change in the team's tactics and posture on the field. Filipe, who has a good relationship with the players, is betting on a more modern game proposal to try to save Flamengo's season.

Filipe Luís will take command of Flamengo's main team with the support of three technical assistants: Ivan Palanco, Márcio Torres and Daniel Alegria. In addition to them, physical trainer Diogo Linhares will also be part of the technical committee. Ivan, Márcio and Diogo had already worked with Filipe in the under-20s, while Daniel was with him in the under-17s.

Spanish Ivan Palanco, 44, graduated from Barcelona and was hired in January at the request of former left-back Filipe Luís. From Tite's technical committee, Flamengo opted to keep technical assistant Vinicius Bergantin, who had recently been hired from Ferroviária, as well as performance analyst Bruno Baquete, who worked with the former coach of Mais Querido in the Brazilian National Team.

Filipe Luís, 39 years old, already has the B and A licenses from the CBF Academy, which enable him to sign national match summaries. However, he still does not have the Conmebol PRO License, required for international competitions since 2020.
