The debate over squad management and the strategy of sparing players remains heated among Flamengo fans
|
0The defeat of Flamengo to Bolívar, 2-1, in La Paz, in the Copa Libertadores, continues to generate heated discussions among red and black fans. The main point of debate focuses on coach Tite's choices, who chose to leave out important players such as Leo Pereira, Arrascaeta and Pedro during the match in Bolivia.
Tite justified his decision with the need to spare these athletes due to physical exhaustion. However, before and after the game, many fans mentioned Jorge Jesus again, remembering that the Portuguese coach, Libertadores and Brasileirão champion with the club in 2019, also preserved players. This statement, however, displeased the club's directors, who endeavored to gather data to prove that Jorge Jesus also used the savings strategy.
During a press conference held at Ninho do Urubu, after the presentation of striker Carlinhos, Flamengo's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, made a direct statement on the subject: "Jorge Jesus didn't like to save, but he saved. You don't say that."
In addition, Braz and the football director Bruno Spindel provided more details about an internal survey carried out by the club on the topic. Braz stated: "These are numbers, they are not assumptions. I'm not saying that he didn't repeat the team, but if you analyze from Wednesday to Sunday, always the next game against the previous one, I believe that he practically didn't repeat any team .
On average, he made three to four changes per match. Against Grêmio, before the Libertadores final, he made nine changes and left the players in Rio preparing for the final as well. he made between three and four changes, Renato Gaúcho did too.
