This last Sunday (25), Michael made his debut for Flamengowith the right to score in the match against Bragantino, at Maracanã. The striker returns more mature and more experienced after spending a few seasons under the command of Jorge Jesus at Al-Hilal. After the game, the athlete was asked about the difference between the manager's training and Tite's.
However, Michael preferred to praise the current coach. Even though he is out of training, while Matheus Bachi leads the team, Tite is already receiving a lot of praise from the attacker. The number 30 was grateful to be able to work with big names, but he prefers to focus on the learning he wants to have with the Brazilian.
“He's a winning guy, wherever he's been, he's won. He didn't coach the national team for nothing. Nobody gets there by chance. There's a lot of work. His work is great. They are two great coaches who have always worked on great teams and won. Now I'm here. I want to learn more from him. I want to understand his playing style more. Learn more tactically, technically. Whatever I can learn”, begins Michael, before adding:
“In this life, we learn every day. I learn from you, you from me. I may be better than you in one area. As an athlete, for example. But you as a journalist are much better. I may be better at running, but you can talk better. That's life, we learn every day. I'm very happy to be able to work with great coaches. I want to learn more and more and do my best for the club”, he adds.
MICHAEL'S NUMBERS ON HIS REDEBUT
According to information from the statistics portal SofaScore, Michael had great numbers in its re-debut for Flamengo. This is because the attacker scored a goal, had three shots (two on goal), a decisive pass, 3/10 duels won, three cuts, a tackle, an interception and two fouls suffered.
