Jean Lucas ex-Flamengo declares respect for the club but is focused on Bahia

In the victory of Flamengoabout Bahia, Matheus Bachi, Tite's technical assistant, highlighted the resumption of the style of play that the team had been trying to consolidate since the arrival of the new technical committee. In a direct and blunt speech, Bachi highlighted the return of a more aggressive and intense posture, both with and without the ball.

"This is the face of our team", stated Bachi, reinforcing that the performance seen on the field reflects the identity that the team seeks to consolidate. Flamengo, under Tite's command, had been wavering in some matches, but against Bahia, the team presented a standard of play more in line with what the coaching staff expects. This "face" mentioned by Bachi is linked to an imposing stance, of making the opponent suffer to keep up with the Flamengo rhythm.

FLAMENGO RECOVERS ITS DNA 

< The technical assistant highlighted that, when the team is in possession of the ball, the objective is to make the opponent chase and wear themselves out in an attempt to regain possession. "Whoever comes here has to suffer chasing us," said Bachi, making it clear that Flamengo's intention is to dominate the game, maintain possession, and dictate the pace of the match. This control with the ball is one of the pillars of the style of play that the team is looking to improve under the new management.

However, Bachi also stressed that when the Flamengois without the ball, the behavior must be equally intense and aggressive. "When we don't have the ball, we attack the guys," he commented. This reflects the idea of ​​high marking, putting pressure on the opponent in their defense, with the aim of recovering the ball as quickly as possible and maintaining control of the actions.

This approach is common in teams who seek modern and offensive football. The idea is that, even without possession, the team maintains a proactive stance, suffocating the opponent and reducing their space to create plays. This aggressive marking is not just a matter of physical effort, but also of tactical organization, something that Tite and his coaching staff are trying to implement at Flamengo.
