After the 1-1 draw between Flamengo e Vasco, Tite took more than an hour to attend the post-game press conference, leaving journalists and fans curious about the reason for the wait. When finally starting the press conference, Flamengo's coach explained that the delay was a consequence of a need to process the result and balance his emotions.
