Rebeca Andrade will receive the first honor from Flamengo for its historic campaign at the Paris Olympics. This Sunday (11), the red-and-black gymnast and greatest Brazilian Olympic medalist in history will feature in the cup match against Palmeiras, at Maracanã, at 4pm, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
In the cup, which will be in gold color, an illustration of Rebeca with a Brazilian flag on her shoulders and a Flamengo flag in the background. She holds two gold medals, one won in Tokyo and the other in Paris, and there are two sentences praising the greatest Brazilian gymnast in history:< b> “Pride of the Nation” and “Brazil's biggest Olympic medalist”.
The item is already successful even before it is sold, in fact. In addition to celebrating the tribute to the athlete, fans expressed their desire to buy the cup. The tendency, therefore, is for many red and black players to acquire it upon arrival at the stadium. Remembering that the cups are sold in stores inside the stadium and on the access ramps to the stands.
Rebeca's path to becoming the greatest Brazilian medalist in history is worthy of a film. A Flamengo athlete since 2011, when she was just 12 years old and already with the talent to attract attention, she underwent three anterior cruciate ligament surgeries on her knee, one of the most complicated for an athlete.
But the The athlete's overcoming, work and talent overcame the difficulties and she left the Paris Olympics with historic results for her career, artistic gymnastics, all Brazilian sport and Flamengo. There were four medals: gold on the floor, silver on the jump and in the individual all-around and bronze for teams.
Bronze for teams, this, in fact, was unprecedented for Brazil and won alongside a trio from Flamengo: Flávia Saraiva , Jade Barbosa and Lorrane Oliveira. Adding to the gold in the vault and the silver in the all-around that she won in Tokyo 2020, she achieved six medals and isolated herself in the national ranking.
It's no surprise that Rebeca Andrade was honored by the club, which certainly isn't goes into the Flamengo x Palmeiras cup. There are expectations of events with the athlete, or at least presence at Maracanã. This is in addition to the organization of fans to also pay tribute to Rebeca and all the red and black gymnasts who stood on the podium in Paris.
A performance that makes it the best edition for Flamengo athletes. There are nine total medals, surpassing the four from Seoul 88 and Atlanta 96. Furthermore, Rebeca and the red-and-blacks were instrumental in the second Olympics with the most medals for Brazil: 20.
< p>The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.
