The Flamengo suffered another setback in the Brazilian Championship. Last Sunday (1), Mais Querido was defeated by Corinthians 2-1 in Itaquera. With this, it was expected that coach Tite would explain the result in São Paulo and the red-black team's low-competitive stance. However, with the presence of physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian, the focus of the questions turned to the numerous injured players on the Rio team.
The situation was seen by the journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira as precisely an attempt to take the spotlight over the poor performance and focus only on the players who are out after a heavy sequence of games in August. On Uol's Posse de Bola program, Mauro Cezar classified the red-and-black press office as “astute” for managing to change the focus.
“Congratulations to Flamengo's press office, which was very astute . He took Fábio Mahseredjian to talk about a subject he needed for a long time at a press conference about injuries and the physical part and he made it clear that they will continue to happen, that was my understanding of what he said, precisely on the day that Flamengo made a inexcusable match”, said the journalist.
In Mauro Cezar's view, coach Tite had to give explanations about the team's stance after the defeat with performance below expectations, he criticized the coach's choices during the match and the team's attitude on the field.
“The questions focused on the coach, and little on Flamengo's ridiculous performance that Tite had to explain and didn't explain, he kept talking about the calendar and other matters. He was wasting time when he had to explain this team behavior. But the team, even having opted for a more offensive stance in the second half, didn't attack, didn't create anything. After conceding a goal, Flamengo didn't pose any danger”, he concluded.
Mais Querido's next match will only be on September 12th, a Thursday, against Bahia, in the return game of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, at Maracanã. Flamengo won the first match 1-0 at Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova and has the advantage for the duel.

“Yes, we observed and there were adjustments , Yes. No one hides behind responsibility, the team was excellent in terms of dead balls and aerial balls. Yes, there was an adjustment”, admitted the coach after being asked. Flamengo won 78% of high-flying duels in their own area, according to statistics aggregator SofaScore.
Next, Tite was asked whether Flamengo's defensive posture against Bahia was seeking to resist, in the context of a knockout match. The coach did not agree that the red-and-black entered the field with the sole purpose of defending himself because, according to the coach, this would bring the team closer to defeat.
“If you want to defend yourself, you are closer of losing. Our proposal is to play in the same way, with three pressures wherever the ball is. Otherwise you will lose. I'm not going to make the team cower. It can be (defensive) in a game circumstance. In the second half we were better, we got possession, we managed to score more, we were at the mercy of the second goal. The team that needs the score needs to open up and give it space”, he concluded.
The technical committee is now preparing its team for the game in a place where it has experienced a lot of joy. Flamengo visits Corinthians this Sunday (1 ) at 4:00 pm, at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo. It will be the first time that the 63-year-old gaucho leads a team in Itaquera as a visitor. Tite was Timão's coach on three occasions, in 2004/05, from 2010 to 2013 and from 2015 to 2016, and is considered one of the greatest in the club's history, having been champion of the Libertadores, World Cup and two-time Brazilian champion with the Parque team.
