Flamengo needs to reverse the 1x0 suffered at Maracanã

Flamengo disappointed its fans last Thursday night. That's because they lost to Peñarol, in a packed Maracanã by 1x0 and now they need to reverse the result there in Uruguay, next week, to pass the Libertadores semifinals. In this sense, journalist Renato Maurício Prado, detonated who, for him, is largely to blame for the red and black phase.
For RMP, Tite is largely responsible for a millionaire Flamengo, not being able to play good football and for this reason, he declared in his column that the coach should be fired before the return game.
RMP's column follows in full:
"It won't happen, as it didn't happen with Jorge Sampaoli, after the defeat in the first game of the Copa do Brasil final, also at Maracanã, against Dorival Júnior's São Paulo. And, most likely, as it was that time, Flamengo will lose their place - last year, they lost the title.
Rodolfo Landim, he's not in the business. , belittled the achievements of Jorge Jesus, who won the Brasileiro and the Libertadores in the same season (something unheard of in the era of straight points). of a corpse, who continues to know absolutely nothing about the world of football.
Because of this ignorance and the unshakable alliance with Marcos Braz, he is heading towards the second consecutive season without significant titles and towards defeat in the Flamengo elections, at the end of the year. When the ball doesn't go in, forget it: the situation doesn't win. And there is no stadium capable of reversing such a downward trend, already detected by the polls.
Even for Flamengo. traditional Fla-Nelinha group (the one that loves to rub shoulders with coaches and managers) is finding it difficult to defend Professor Adenor's work. The shallow argument that he was still alive after three competitions is becoming a trap. By the way the carriage is going, he will soon be dead in all three. So, what will they say?
The fact is that, with almost a year of work at the head of the most expensive squad on the continent, Tite was unable to put together a solid team, one that conveys confidence and gives pleasure to his team. fans. Watching Flamengo's games, for the red and black, became an exercise in masochism.
In the defeat to Peñarol, it was no different. Yes, it's true that some of their most talented players had subpar individual performances (notably De La Cruz, who gave the impression that he wasn't ready to return to the field yet).
But what Was it Tite's tactical plan, if there was one? Diego Aguirre washed it down with fried porridge. Believing that the return game, at the Campeón del Siglo, will be different (as Tite predicted, in the post-game interview) is almost like believing in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Headless Mule.
The Flamengo has not won a Libertadores match away from home since the thrashing of Velez in 2022. Under the command of Dorival Júnior. Who was sent away, despite having won the main competition on the continent and, as a bonus, the Copa do Brasil.
After almost six years in charge of the most popular club in Brazil, Rodolfo Landim continues to ask "who is it the ball"?"

This Thursday, Flamengo was defeated 1-0 by Peñarol, from Uruguay, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, at Maracanã. The Rio team, which was unable to impose its game rhythm, now needs to look for a turnaround in the second leg to move forward in the competition.
After the negative result, the red and black fans showed dissatisfaction and booed the team. team, with coach Tite being one of the main targets of criticism. The coach commented on the fans' discontent and projected what needs to be done in the next match.
In an interview after the game, Tite acknowledged the impact of the criticism, but highlighted that he understands the passion of the fans. “Of course it hurts on the human side, but with experience, I understand that when you work well, the fans' reactions are compatible with the love for the club. I have a lot of respect for that. The fans have the right to criticize or boo, and work can reverse this. Now, we need to turn this into a good performance there in Uruguay, win and seek qualification”, stated the coach.
Tite also spoke about the pressure to achieve: “The fan's feeling is legitimate. I feel that too. In football, you win over fans with important titles. If you don't win, the criticism will come. And that’s how you build a story in a club of this size”, added the CRF coach.
With the 1-0 defeat at home, Mengão needs to beat Peñarol by two goals in the return game, which takes place next Thursday (26), at 7pm ( Brasília time), at the Campeón Del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, to advance directly to the Libertadores semi-finals. A simple victory takes the decision to penalties.
However, the challenge is great. Mais Querido has not won away from home in the Libertadores since the victorious 2022 campaign. Since then, it has accumulated five defeats and three draws in matches away from home. Reversing this statistic will be essential to continue in the search for the continental title.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo faced Peñarol in the first duel valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. On a night below expectations at Maracanã, the Brazilian team ended up defeated by a score of 1-0, leaving the fans worried about the team's apathetic performance.
For the match, coach Tite made some changes in the starting team, the most talked about being the departure of Léo Ortiz, who had been playing an important role in the defense. The choice to start with Erick Pulgar in midfield generated criticism, as the Chilean had a lackluster performance, making it difficult for Mais Querido to control the game.
When asked about the change between Ortiz and Pulgar, Tite made a point of defending the Chilean midfielder. “Pulgar is a national team player, he was performing well. Léo was playing in a position that he doesn't like so much. The intention was to maintain the team structure. We cannot draw conclusions from an isolated game”, stated the coach, justifying the tactical choice.
Despite the explanation, CRF had a performance that was far from ideal and, at no point, managed to seriously threaten Peñarol. The Uruguayan team controlled the pace of the match, not allowing Rubro-Negro to create clear scoring chances that could at least guarantee a draw and minimize the impact of the result.
Although the 1-0 defeat is not an irreversible score, Flamengo will need to present a very different stance in the second leg to guarantee the classification for the semi-final of the Copa Libertadores. The next match will be held on September 26th, at the Campeón Del Siglo Stadium, at 7pm (Brasília time). The team needs to win by two goals to advance directly, or at least return the score to take the decision to penalties.
Before thinking about the continental tournament again, Mengão will have an important commitment for the Brazilian Championship. On Sunday (22), the team faces Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be at Arena do Grêmio, at 6:30 pm, and will be crucial to keeping the team in contention for the national title.

Jorge Sampaoli, Argentine coach who recently left Flamengo, has made it clear that his career plans remain focused away from Brazil. Despite inquiries from Brazilian clubs, he does not intend to return to the country for now. The coach, who has a striking and often controversial style, has received proposals from other parts of the world, but maintains his focus on another objective: Europe.
Since leaving Flamengo, Sampaoli has been the target of consultations by clubs in Brazil, who sought to bring the coach into future projects. However, the Argentine rejected all these approaches. In addition to the Brazilian market, he also turned down major offers from Monterrey, one of the main clubs in Mexico, and the Ecuador national team.
These invitations could have been a good opportunity to Sampaolireturn to the international scene, especially in the case of a national team, which normally offers stability and visibility. However, the Argentine appears to be more interested in following another route. He has his sights set on European football, where he hopes to find the kind of challenge that really motivates him at this point in his career.
Sampaoli has made it clear that his biggest goal is to return to work in European football. The coach has already spent time on the old continent, such as at Sevilla, and sees Europe as the ideal setting for the next phase of his career. He believes that European football offers a more competitive environment and in line with his gaming philosophy.
