Mauro Cezar, renowned sports commentator, shed light on the strategy of Tite, the Brazilian national team coach, to rescue the performance of the player Gabriel. In recent games, Gabriel has faced a difficult phase, leaving many fans and observers wondering how he can return to his best football. The challenge presented to Tite is, essentially, to motivate Gabriel to rediscover his form and confidence on the field.

At the heart of this mission is the need for Gabriel to recognize his bad phase. The player has demonstrated, in his rare recent interviews, a lack of self-criticism. This means he doesn't seem to fully understand the extent of his underperformance. Tite, in this sense, has the task of convincing him to be restless and to recognize the need to improve.

Tite's task is even more challenging due to the high cost of Gabriel's transfer and the fundamental role that he plays on the team. When a player of his magnitude is not at his best, it affects not only the team, but also the image of the national team. The coach must, first of all, establish a constructive dialogue with Gabriel. He needs to show the player that the confidence of the team and fans is not lost, but that it is essential that he returns to playing his best football.

In addition, Tite must work on the technical and tactical part of the game by Gabriel. This involves the coach and his technical team providing clear and specific guidance so that the player can improve his performance on the field. Improving his passing skills, positioning, marking and other crucial skills will be an important step in Gabriel's recovery.

Another fundamental aspect is psychological support. Tite must ensure that Gabriel has access to professional support to deal with the pressure and expectations that surround his career. This is vital for the player to regain confidence in themselves and their game. It is important that Tite involves the entire team in this recovery process. Group cohesion is essential to any player's success, and Gabriel needs to feel the support of his teammates. This can be achieved through joint training, video analysis sessions and open communication within the locker room.

The media plays a fundamental role in this scenario. Tite can work with the national team's press office to manage expectations surrounding Gabriel. This helps relieve external pressure and allows the player to focus on their recovery. Finally, patience is key. Gabriel's recovery will not happen overnight, and it is important that Tite and the team are willing to give the player the necessary time to regain his best football.

In short, the mission of Tite to recover Gabriel is a challenging task, which involves technical, tactical, psychological and social issues. However, if the coach and the player work together with determination and focus, it is possible that Gabriel will regain his form and shine again on the field, adequately representing the investment made in his signing and the expectations of Brazilian fans.

Flamengo e Pyramids se enfrentam neste sábado (13), às 14h (de Brasília), no Estádio Al Rayyan, em Doha, no Catar, pela semifinal da Copa Intercontinental. O confronto reúne o campeão da Libertadores e o campeão africano, valendo vaga na grande final do torneio.

Enquanto o time brasileiro busca o bicampeonato mundial, o clube egípcio — fundado há apenas 17 anos — vive o maior momento de sua história. Com forte investimento e elenco competitivo, o Pyramids encara o duelo como uma oportunidade única de alcançar a decisão, o que aumenta o grau de motivação do grupo.

Mesmo tratado como azarão, o time egípcio demonstrou competitividade ao eliminar Auckland City e Al Ahli ao longo da competição. Agora, tenta confirmar essa evolução diante do adversário sul-americano e garantir vaga na final contra o PSG, atual campeão europeu, que já aguarda na decisão.

PROVÁVEL ESCALAÇÃO DO PYRAMIDS

Para o confronto, o técnico Krunoslav Jurčić deve repetir a equipe que superou o Al Ahli nas quartas de final. A provável escalação tem: El Shenawy; Chibi, Galal, Samy e Mohamed Hamdi; Lasheen, Touré, Zalaka, Atef e Hafez; Mayele.

BOM MOMENTO NA TEMPORADA

O Pyramids chega à semifinal contra o Flamengo em boa fase na temporada 2025/26. Somando todas as competições, são 15 vitórias, quatro empates e apenas três derrotas. Vice-líder do Campeonato Egípcio, o time tem 39 gols marcados e 17 sofridos, média próxima de dois gols por partida.

Apesar da derrota recente com equipe reserva, o elenco principal sustenta uma sequência de cinco jogos sem perder, com quatro vitórias e um empate, distribuídos entre a liga nacional e a Champions League Africana. O desempenho reforça a confiança para o duelo decisivo.

DISCURSO CAUTELOSO, MAS CONFIANTE

O tropeço com os reservas não abalou o ambiente interno. Pelo contrário, reforçou o foco do técnico Jurčić na preparação física e mental do grupo, além da atenção à diferença de experiência entre os elencos: “Eles têm isso, o que é importante nesses torneios. Talvez não tenhamos essa parte, pois somos um clube jovem, vivendo essa experiência pela primeira vez. Muito respeito ao Flamengo, mas somos bons. Vocês verão”, afirmou o treinador croata.
