Last Wednesday (16), at Maracanã, Flamengo secured its place in the final of the Copa do Brasil by beating Grêmio by 1 to 0. After the confrontation, Fabrício Bruno made a statement about the current state of Rubro -Black this season and if the team can still dream of winning the national tournament of consecutive points.
- Within our reality, I need to be honest. It's no use coming here and creating expectations for the fans that don't correspond to reality. We are a long way from the championship leader, who is performing incredibly, the difference is huge. What we are closer to is the title of the Copa do Brasil, which involves just two games. Therefore, we must prepare, but we must not neglect the Brasileirão. Now, we have a month to disconnect from the Copa do Brasil and focus again on the Brasileirão, which is extremely important for us.
After the victory over Grêmio last Wednesday (16), Flamengo opens up another opportunity to win a title this season. Since the beginning of 2023, the club has already reached three finals, but has yet to lift the trophy.
The Copa do Brasil final will be against São Paulo, led by Dorival Júnior, the same coach who took the title to Flamengo in 2022. The decision will take place on September 17th and 24th, both on a Sunday. The order of field men will still be drawn by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
As for the Brasileirão, Mais Querido faces Coritiba for the return of the competition. In third place, Flamengo needs to add points again after two games without winning, the team travels to the south next Saturday afternoon.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
