Coach Tite, from Flamengo, became the target of scathing criticism after his team's 2-1 defeat against Bolívar. The criticism came in an incisive and direct tone from a renowned sports journalist, who spared no words to express his dissatisfaction with the coach's decisions.
"Congratulations, Tite! Congratulations, Tite! You are a genius! If it depends on the press that drools over your egg, you are a genius!", began the journalist, demonstrating irony in relation to the favorable treatment that Tite receives from some sectors of the media. The main point of criticism was the strategy of sparing players in games considered most important. "The coach who spares the team in the 2 main games of the season! He wins 3-0 against Nova Iguaçu and doesn't spare the team in the return game!", highlighted the journalist, pointing out the inconsistency in Tite's choices.
GENERAL DETONATION ON TITE'S ACCOUNT
The journalist highlighted the disparity between the coach's stance in different confrontations. "Anyone can win the Campeonato Carioca with this Flamengo team! But they save against Palmeiras, Flamengo's biggest rival in Brazil! Nobody understands!", he emphasized, highlighting the perplexity at Tite's decisions.
In addition, the journalist brought up past criticisms of the coach, referring to previous episodes, such as World Cups. "I don't see the press criticizing Tite, including at the World Cups, when he was embarrassed! Coward! He knew he could lose at altitude!", he declared, pointing out an alleged lack of self-criticism on the coach's part.
< For the journalist, Tite's attitude towards Flamengo demonstrates a mistaken stance regarding the size and importance of the club. "It's a shame for a coach who arrives at Flamengo and thinks he's on a small team! It's not to save money against Palmeiras, it's not to save money against Bolívar!", he concluded, expressing his indignation at the coach's choices.

Mirassol will make just one change to the starting lineup to face Flamengo this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leão defends a three-month unbeaten run in the match, while Mengão seeks to remain in the lead.
After serving a suspension in the victory over Vasco, left-back Reinaldo returns to the team, taking Felipe Jonatan's place . Leão's top scorer in the Brasileirão, the number 6 has seven goals in the competition and is the team's official penalty taker.
Mirassol's likely lineup is : Walter; Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes and Reinaldo; Neto Moura, Danielzinho and Gabriel; Negueba, Edson Carioca and Chico da Costa.
The main absence will be coach Rafael Guanaes , suspended for a third yellow card . Without the manager, assistant Ivan Baitello will be on the sidelines for the club's debut at Maracanã. Guanaes' team hasn't been defeated since May 5th, when they lost to Red Bull Bragantino.
In the medical department, defender Da Silva is out, although he didn't play for the team in 2024—his last appearance was for the B team last season. On the other hand, defender Luiz Otávio, a regular starter in 2024, left the medical department but hasn't yet played this year due to successive injuries.
Leão is in 5th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points, and is looking to score points to remain in the G6. If they beat Flamengo this Saturday and Bahia stumbles against Fluminense, Mirassol will finish the round in the G4 , those who qualify directly for the group stage of the Libertadores.

Flamengo ended, this Friday (8), at Ninho do Urubu, the preparation for the duel against Mirassol , scheduled for this Saturday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match is valid for the last round of the first round of the Brazilian Championship .
Coach Filipe Luís should send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Royal, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Allan, Evertton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo (Plata), Pedro (Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
Coach Filipe Luís will be without Jorginho, suspended for his third yellow card. However, he will have important reinforcements . Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique, who were on training due to pain and fatigue, trained normally in recent days and are available again. The former competes for a spot with Plata, while the latter can play as a false nine.
Another return is Michael, who has recovered from a left ankle injury but is expected to start on the bench. Midfielder Carrascal, the latest addition to the squad, could also make his debut, likely coming on in the second half .
For Jorginho's spot, Allan and Evertton Araújo are expected to form the defensive midfield duo . Varela, who previously played as a makeshift midfielder under Filipe Luís, is a potential outsider. Pulgar, De la Cruz, and Danilo remain in the injury department.
Flamengo, the leader of the Brasileirão with 37 points, has the same number of points as second-place Cruzeiro , but has played a game less. Mirassol, meanwhile, is the surprise package: it sits in fifth place with 28 points, just one point behind Bahia, which rounds out the top four.

Eliminated from the Copa do Brasil last Wednesday (6), after losing on penalties to Atlético-MG in Belo Horizonte, Flamengo was once again the target of criticism. Among them, that of former coach Joel Santana, who questioned Filipe Luís's decisions in command of the team.
Joel Santana on Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "Football is a serious thing, it's not a joke"
"Football is a serious matter, it's not a joke. Flamengo played around in the first game at Maracanã . They gave the guys hope, and look what happened. Atlético isn't stupid," said Joel in a video posted on YouTube this Friday (8). The former manager also demanded more attention from the red-black coach:
"I don't know what's going through Flamengo 's coach's head. Competition is competition, and it's a résumé. It doesn't work in the Libertadores and the Brasileirão; we'll see what happens . The fans are already irritated by the fluctuations and changes being made. Pay attention: I worked at Flamengo four or five times, and it wasn't for nothing. Football doesn't tolerate insults," he concluded.
Flamengo beat Atlético-MG 1-0 in Belo Horizonte, but lost on penalties and fell in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil . Some of the criticism from the fans focused on Filipe Luís' lack of tactical variations.
The red-black team returns to the field this Saturday (9), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Mirassol at Maracanã , for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast exclusively by Premiere (pay-per-view) for all of Brazil.
