The coach's recent statement Renato Gaúcho, in a press conference after Grêmio's elimination from the Copa do Brasil, generated repercussions . When asked about the strategy used in the penalty shootout, Renato defended himself by mentioning that even Zico, the eternal red-and-black idol, missed a penalty in a World Cup – against France, in the quarter-finals in 1986.
With irony, the coach asked if he could laugh at the face of the reporter who questioned him about substitution strategies during the match.
“Firstly, the team was not as good as in other games. Second place, the team was rested. Thirdly, I couldn't take out exhausted players because they were hitters. Then they say ‘They made a mistake’. Zico missed a penalty in the World Cup. They train every day”, said the coach.
Multi-champion with Flamengo and name history in Japanese football, Zico, one of the greatest in the history of Brazilian football, minimized the fact. In an interview, in 2022, with Charla Podcast, Zico commented on the missed penalty in 1986. At the time, he vented about the subject.
“There is no need to be world champion. Everyone wants to win, but on the other side there are also people with the same goal. I did everything I could, but that's football, it's the game. In 86, I didn't want to go because of the knee problem, I had to have surgery, you know. Maybe if I hadn't gone, no one would have said anything about the World Cup. As was the case with the penalty, then it's 'you won nothing, you didn't do anything”.
Flamengo is classified in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo is awaiting the definition of its next opponent, who will be known after the CBF draw, with a date yet to be confirmed. The round of 16 phase ends this Thursday (08), when the other teams that advance will be known. Mengão remains firm in the competition, confident that it can continue its journey towards the title.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club
