Flamengo's start to the season was worse than all fans could imagine, Rubro Negro lost all title disputes under coach Vitor Pereira and failed to win in the first matches of the Libertadores group stage. Shortly after the dismissal of the Portuguese, the Mais Querido board hired Argentine Jorge Sampaoli, who continued the former coach's legacy, losing everything he competed for.
In an interview with the Uruguayan portal "100% deporte", the midfielder and idol of Flamengo, Arrascaeta, commented on Flamengo's 2023 season and said that the year was frustrating because the squad had the ambition of being finalists in the Libertadores and did not achieve that feat.
“The year was frustrating, because we had the ambition to be Libertadores finalists and play the final with our fans. Unfortunately we didn't make it. We have achieved very important things in recent years, but we are required to play better. Flamengo demands better results every year”, highlighted the number 14.
After the embarrassment left by Vitor Pereira and Jorge Sampaoli, the Rubro Negro board decided that it would not look for another foreign coach and chose to look the Brazilian market, there he found Tite who ended up accepting the challenge of taking on a team that would only have the Brasileirão to compete in. Arrascaeta also commented on this.
"We know it's difficult, we have 10 games to go and we are nine points behind Botafogo. Yesterday was a special classic for Tite's debut. This victory brought more confidence to the team and we managed to show a different face. Tite is spectacular and has a fantastic commission. He did great work at Corinthians and the Brazilian team. We can have advantages, because he knows a lot. Now we are keeping an eye on Grêmio. I think Suárez is suspended and It's a relief, he always complicates things for us”, concluded the Uruguayan.
Therefore, with Arrascaeta at his disposal, coach Tite leads the last training session at CT Ninho do Urubu before the squad travels to Porto Happy on the night of this Tuesday (22). Rubro Negro will face Grêmio this Wednesday (25), at 9:30 pm, at the Gaucho team's Arena.
The club has its main problems stipulated

The decision of Tite sparing the cast entirely raises some questions. On the one hand, it preserves players for more important commitments and minimizes the risk of injuries at a time when physical exhaustion can be a serious problem. On the other hand, placing an alternative team in a Brazilian Championship match, which is still in dispute, can be seen as risky, as a defeat or even a draw could have consequences on the table.
In addition , the choice of David Luiz and Cleiton in defense and Allan and Everton Araújo in midfield suggests that Tite trusts in the depth of his squad. He seems to believe that, even with the changes, the team will be able to compete at a high level. This also gives reserve players a chance to show their value, which could be crucial for the squad's dynamics in the coming weeks.
Another relevant point of this strategy is the issue of integration. A team that doesn't usually play together may have difficulty adapting to the demands of a high-level match, especially against opponents who are playing for real and with their starting team. The lack of rhythm among players can be a challenge to be faced, but it is also an opportunity for these athletes to gain experience and adapt more quickly to the demands of elite football.
Tite, known for being A meticulous strategist, he must have considered these factors when choosing to rotate the squad at this point in the championship. The choices reflect a balance between the physical preservation of the main players and the need to keep the team competitive throughout the season. The expectation is that this decision, even if bold, will not compromise the team's performance in the championship.
This Sunday's clash will be an important test of the depth of the squad and the ability of reserve players to take on responsibilities at crucial moments. Cleiton, for example, will have the chance to show that he can be a reliable option for the defense in the future, and Allan and Everton Araújo will have the task of controlling the midfield and dictating the pace of the game.

This Sunday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, the coach Tite made a decision that caught attention: he will spare the entire starting team for the clash. With the tight schedule and sequence of games, the coach chose to preserve his main athletes for future commitments, focusing on keeping the squad in good physical condition and avoiding injuries. This rotation strategy, common in long competitions, reflects the need to keep the squad fresh and competitive in the decisive phases of the season.
In defense, Tite will bet on a formation with David Luiz, who brings experience to the sector, forming a duo with young Cleiton, one of the squad's promises. Cleiton will have a great opportunity to show his service and gain confidence playing alongside a veteran with experience with the Brazilian national team and prominent clubs in Europe. The choice of David Luiz for this match, even with the team being spared, demonstrates the importance of having leadership on the field to guide and organize the defense.
