On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).

In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.


Flamengo may have held the last training session under Tite's command.

With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.

In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.

Lazio, in a last-minute attempt, sought to interfere in negotiations between Carlos Alcaraz and Flamengo. The Italian club tried to persuade the player to change his mind, offering an alternative for his career in Europe. However, Alcaraz remained firm in his decision, convinced that the Flamengo represented the best choice for the next step in his career.

According to information from Mauro Cezar, published in UOL Esporte, the Argentine midfielder was determined to wear the red-black shirt, despite the interest from Lazio. This conviction was decisive for Flamengo to remain confident in negotiations, even with the European onslaught. The choice of Alcaraz reinforces the appeal that Flamengo has in the South American market, being seen by many players as an ideal platform for development and international projection.

FLAMENGO WAS "STRONG" IN THE MARKET

The Rio club had made an initial offer to Southampton, where Alcaraz currently plays. This offer, however, was considered below expectations by the English, who made a counter-offer. Lazio, upon realizing the impasse, tried to take advantage of the situation, but Alcaraz's desire to play for Flamengo ended up weighing more.

Flamengo has shown itself to be an attractive force for young South American talent, offering not only visibility, but also the possibility of competing in high-level competitions and gaining value in the European market. For Alcaraz, Flamengo's sporting project, combined with the possibility of winning titles and standing out in one of the most popular clubs on the continent, were decisive factors in choosing him.
