He responded to criticism from some of the fans who consider Tite to be a "backward" coach.

“For me, yesterday's game was like Tite, not that he only builds defensive teams. The 2015 Corinthians weren't like that, and Paquetá was a midfielder in the national team, so this argument is nonsense and a terrible lack of knowledge. Now, he knows how to build teams this way and yesterday was exactly that”, said the journalist during the Bate Pronto program.
