Very close to signing with Flamengo, Tite yesterday watched his likely new team draw with the club that idolizes him. Rubro-Negro's performance against Corinthians showed some positive points and others that may worry the coach when he takes over.
What Fla showed good
Imposition on the field: Fla was not intimidated at Corinthians' home and controlled the actions of the match, even with Fiel's characteristic pressure. Led by interim Mário Jorge, the players dictated the pace: they pressed the ball out, closed the spaces for the opponent and released themselves on the field.
Quality in touch: The Flamenguistas bet on quick passes, triangulations and launch between the lines to break the black and white barrier in front of Cássio. The technical quality of the players helped and Rubro-Negro was much closer to returning to Rio with three points than defeated.
Gerson, Everton Ribeiro and Pedro did well: Coringa was Flamengo's highlight. Very active in all sectors, he multiplied on the field and even scored a great goal. In addition to him, other players who were being challenged had a positive performance. This was the case of Everton Ribeiro, who commanded the midfield and hit the crossbar, and Pedro, pivoting and opening up several spaces for his teammates.
Plenty of options: If the star-studded starting team wasn't enough , the reserve bench is full of renowned players. Gabigol and Arrascaeta were the first to enter during the game, in addition to Luiz Araújo — Cebolinha was not even activated.
The bad side
Loss of possession. Corinthians' few opportunities came from quick counterattacks. The defense had a consistent performance, but the players on the last line made mistakes when passing the ball or creating plays that almost cost Fla dearly.
Improvement in aim: Rubro-Negro took 20 shots, but only seven hit the target. Apart from Gerson's great goal, the visitors came face to face with Cássio twice, once with Ayrton Lucas and once with Bruno Henrique, but were unable to overcome the Corinthians Giant.
Gabigol in low form and Arrasca without rhythm : Two of the team's main players, both had poor performance. The number 10 is going through a bad phase and shows no signs of a reaction, while the Uruguayan is still not 100% after dealing with an injury to his left thigh. Tite will have to recover the duo that has already brought so much joy to the Red and Blacks.
Tite's expectations
Fla lives with the expectation of announcing his ex soon -coach of the national team. Rubro-Negro knew they wouldn't count on him against Corinthians, but he believes the soap opera will have a happy ending. The Tite theme was the focus of the post-game against Corinthians. Interim Mário Jorge was bombarded with questions about the subject, but did not talk about the future.

This Thursday (18), Flamengo begins the dispute of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores against Estudiantes, at Maracanã. On the eve of the confrontation, the president and idol of the Argentine club, Juan Sebastián Verón, spoke about the expectations for the duel against Rubro-Negro.
During an institutional event in La Plata, Verón highlighted the financial difference between the teams , with Mengão being the team with the highest market value among the tournament participants, but recalled Estudiantes ' tradition of overcoming opponents considered favorites.
Estudiantes' Verón on Flamengo in the Libertadores: "Yes, the challenge is difficult"
"Obviously, we know the power of our opponent, but we also know that we've been through similar situations against important teams, and that the club, given its history, has risen to the occasion. We've always kept this in mind: yes, the challenge is difficult, but we can excel and represent the club well , regardless of the result. We've experienced this before, and we continue to do so," the director stated.
In the early 1990s, Verón began his career at Estudiantes and played in the 2-0 victory over Flamengo in the 1994 Supercopa Libertadores . In addition to his former club, the former midfielder also shone for major teams such as Boca Juniors, Lazio, Manchester United and Inter Milan . In 2007, he returned to Estudiantes and was a key player in their 2009 Copa Libertadores victory.
Verón retired in 2014, but returned to the field three years later as a player-president . His last official match came in 2017, against Botafogo, also in the Copa Libertadores, during the group stage.
