The decision of Tite to spare the squad 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 prove themselves, which could be crucial to the squad's dynamics in the coming weeks.
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.
