0Tite's arrival at Flamengo as coach was marked by a gesture of humility that caught attention. On his first day at Ninho do Urubu, he took time to visit the training center and talk to all the employees, from the kitchen to the warehouse.
A source reported that Tite spoke to more people in one day than the previous coach had done for months. His humble and accessible approach to all employees stood out positively.
In addition to introducing himself to employees, Tite gave an interview to Fla TV, in which he highlighted his initial goals at the club. He expressed the importance of guaranteeing classification in the 2024 Copa Libertadores and also mentioned the Brazilian Championship title as a dream, although he is aware of the challenges that Flamengo will face.
His arrival at the club comes after a troubled spell by Jorge Sampaoli, during which the atmosphere at Ninho do Urubu became tense. Flamengo's board of directors looked for a coach capable of uniting the club, in addition to his technical skills.
Tite is seen as a professional who has interpersonal skills to lead the process of rapprochement between all sectors of the club, promoting an environment of greater harmony.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Bruno Henrique takes the lead in Flamengo's attack after injuries to teammates
|
0With several casualties in the offensive sector, Bruno Henrique, 33 years old, will be the main name in Flamengo's attack in the next matches. The striker, who stands out for his long-standing partnership with Arrascaeta, believes that this harmony will be fundamental for the team to maintain its good performance in the competitions it competes in, such as the Brazilian Championship, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
"We are the players at the front. Arrascaeta is a classic midfielder, who knows how to create plays and finish. Being close to him increases the chances of scoring and assisting. With his quality and the more than six years we have played together, we understand each other just by looking at each other", stated Bruno Henrique in an interview with ESPN.
Flamengo will no longer have Pedro and Everton Cebolinha until the end of the season. Furthermore, Michael and Luiz Araújo are only expected to return to the pitch in the final stretch of 2024. Gabigol, who also faces physical problems, has been used less frequently. With this series of absences, the leading role falls to Bruno Henrique, who has the mission of leading the red and black attack at a decisive moment of the season.
To make up the offensive sector, Mais Querido also has newcomers Gonzalo Plata and Carlinhos, as well as young promises from the club's youth categories. Despite the losses, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique's experience and quality will be enough to keep the team competitive in competitions.
