Real Madrid players criticize new FIFA World Cup; Flamengo is among the participants

Pedro's injury seems to reveal the real extent of the loss of space in Flamengo's team under coach Tite. Bruno Henrique has been chosen so far for the role of center forward and, against Vasco, this Sunday (15), the coach opted for Carlinhos as a substitute. A situation that idol Maestro Júnior sees as an attempt to send a message to Gabriel, who entered the classic with five minutes to go.

“It was strange, really. Even because of his CV and everything he has done, independent of Carlinhos. But I think he would automatically be the man to step into that role. Whether it was more fixed or like he has done, leaving the area more. Some message was given, but Tite didn't comment at all...", Júnior said on the program 'Seleção SporTV'.

Tite was asked about the decision at the press conference and, just as Júnior said, he didn't comment much about it. the case. The stance that the coach adopts in some questions during the press conferences, and the Gabigol topic is probably the main one. He limited himself to saying that the option was based on “training and games”, in addition to highlighting Carlinhos’ decisive moments this season. Indicating that Camisa 22 is ahead.

The red-black coach's assistant and son, Matheus Bachi, assured that it was a tactical decision. This is because they assessed that the team needed a player who could take advantage of the crosses that were being created.

But the justifications were not enough to convince André Rizek. Continuing the debate with Maestro Júnior, the journalist stated that he doesn't see how Gabigol can be useful in Tite's Flamengo if he is behind Carlinhos in the hierarchy.

“He loses Pedro and opts for Bruno Henrique. But then Bruno leaves the game and the person who enters is not Gabigol, but Carlinhos. And so, if Gabigol doesn't beat Carlinhos at this moment, I can't see him being useful. A melancholic end for one of the greatest players in Flamengo's history.”

There was a current that stated that Tite could opt for Carlinhos instead of Gabigol to maintain as much as possible the characteristics that the team had with Pedro. This is because, despite technical differences, both are taller center forwards, who compete for the aerial ball and can pivot at the edge of the area. However, the choice of Bruno Henrique has already forced a change of system.

The red-black team no longer has a regular center forward. This is because, although good at playing from the top, Bruno does not usually act as a reference to hold the ball in attack. Which forces Flamengo to play with a more mobile attack, with position changes with Luiz Araújo, Gerson and now Gonzalo Plata. In addition to having reduced shots and touched the ball more in the last two games.

Tite, therefore, is already willing to change the way he plays and adapt to the team without Pedro in charge of the attack. But he has not yet shown that he is considering the possibility of testing the team with Gabigol in the starting 11.

International's 3 x 0 victory over Cuiabá, on Monday night (16), in Beira-Rio, ended the 26th round of the Brasileirão. With the result, the team from Rio Grande do Sul reached 38 points, in 8th position, and moved closer to the top squad.

The midfielder Reinier was loaned by Real Madrid to Granada, in Spain. The Merengue club had negotiations to loan him to Norwich, in England, but the boards were unable to reach a consensus on a purchase option clause. According to 'GE', Flamengo, Bahia and Fortaleza got in touch to find out the athlete's conditions, however, the Spanish ruled out a return to Brazil.

Norwich preferred the player to continue his career. In negotiating with Real Madrid, the English wanted a fixed price to buy the player already included in the contract, while Madrid only accepted the condition if the English team, which is in the Championship, the second English division, gained access to the Premier League. .

With this, the player's path was clear for a deal with Granada, who were relegated from La Liga last season. Tenerife also contacted the player's staff to find out the conditions, however, Reinier chose the Andalusian team. The club plans to return to the Spanish first division this season and is counting on the midfielder to help with the challenge.

Since leaving Flamengo to Real Madrid, Reinier never established himself at the club in the Spanish capital. After a few matches for the B team, the player was loaned to Borussia Dortmund, in Germany, but he also did not perform as expected. The midfielder toured Spain and Italy and returned to the Merengue club in July for pre-season. Coach Carlo Ancelotti had not been using the young man and offered advice after the match against Valladolid in the Spanish Championship.

“For football players, I recommend looking for a team where they can show their qualities. Simply,” said Ancelotti. In a recent interview with 'GE', Reinier said that he had matured in his last seasons in Europe and that he hoped to have a chance to prove his worth at Real Madrid. Now, the player has another chance to rediscover the football that took him to the Old Continent and manage to regain the status he had when leaving Mais Querido.
