0Flamengo's historic idol revealed surprise to Tite indicating that Carlinhos is ahead of Gabigol in the hierarchy of the red and black squad
|
0Pedro's injury seems to reveal the real extent of the loss of space in Flamengo's team under coach Tite. Bruno Henrique has been chosen so far for the role of center forward and, against Vasco, this Sunday (15), the coach opted for Carlinhos as a substitute. A situation that idol Maestro Júnior sees as an attempt to send a message to Gabriel, who entered the classic with five minutes to go.
“It was strange, really. Even because of his CV and everything he has done, independent of Carlinhos. But I think he would automatically be the man to step into that role. Whether it was more fixed or like he has done, leaving the area more. Some message was given, but Tite didn't comment at all...", Júnior said on the program 'Seleção SporTV'.
Tite was asked about the decision at the press conference and, just as Júnior said, he didn't comment much about it. the case. The stance that the coach adopts in some questions during the press conferences, and the Gabigol topic is probably the main one. He limited himself to saying that the option was based on “training and games”, in addition to highlighting Carlinhos’ decisive moments this season. Indicating that Camisa 22 is ahead.
The red-black coach's assistant and son, Matheus Bachi, assured that it was a tactical decision. This is because they assessed that the team needed a player who could take advantage of the crosses that were being created.
But the justifications were not enough to convince André Rizek. Continuing the debate with Maestro Júnior, the journalist stated that he doesn't see how Gabigol can be useful in Tite's Flamengo if he is behind Carlinhos in the hierarchy.
“He loses Pedro and opts for Bruno Henrique. But then Bruno leaves the game and the person who enters is not Gabigol, but Carlinhos. And so, if Gabigol doesn't beat Carlinhos at this moment, I can't see him being useful. A melancholic end for one of the greatest players in Flamengo's history.”
Bruno Henrique as center forward exposes Gabigol at the end of the lineThere was a current that stated that Tite could opt for Carlinhos instead of Gabigol to maintain as much as possible the characteristics that the team had with Pedro. This is because, despite technical differences, both are taller center forwards, who compete for the aerial ball and can pivot at the edge of the area. However, the choice of Bruno Henrique has already forced a change of system.
The red-black team no longer has a regular center forward. This is because, although good at playing from the top, Bruno does not usually act as a reference to hold the ball in attack. Which forces Flamengo to play with a more mobile attack, with position changes with Luiz Araújo, Gerson and now Gonzalo Plata. In addition to having reduced shots and touched the ball more in the last two games.
Tite, therefore, is already willing to change the way he plays and adapt to the team without Pedro in charge of the attack. But he has not yet shown that he is considering the possibility of testing the team with Gabigol in the starting 11.

Erick Pulgar leads the list, with 12 yellow cards, followed closely by Allan and Nico de la Cruz. Gerson, another big name, appears closing the Top 10.
Erick Pulgar tops the ranking with 12 yellow cards, standing out as the most warned player in the squad in 2024. Right behind him, Allan appears with eight cards, followed by Nico de la Cruz, who received six warnings. The Uruguayan, however, is not alone in third place, as Luiz Araújo and Léo Pereira also have six yellow cards each.
Bruno Henrique, one of the pillars of the red and black attack, accumulated four yellow cards and one red, which puts him below David Luiz, who, with five yellow cards, is still behind of the attacker due to BH's red card. Pedro, a center forward who is also in the Top 8 with five yellow cards, is unlikely to remain in the rankings until the end of the season, as he suffered a serious knee injury and is only expected to return to the pitch in 2025.
The young Everton Araújo appears at the end of the list with four yellow cards, tied with Gerson, another name of highlighted that he had an intense season and a lot of contribution to the team. Both conclude the survey of warnings received by Flamengo players to date.
