Flamengo is already preparing for the next match of the season. This is because the red-black team will face Palmeiras on Wednesday (08), in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. In the match, Mais Querido bets on a taboo of more than seven years to beat the alviverde team at Maracanã.
Flamengo maintains the taboo of not losing to Palmeiras at Maracanã for more than seven years, that is, since June 2016. On that occasion, Rubro-Negro lost to the São Paulo team 2-0, in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship. After that, the teams met another six times, all for the national tournament. In this cut, Clube da Gávea won three matches and drew another three.
LAST GAMES BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND PALMEIRAS AT MARACANÃ06/05/2016 – Flamengo 1 x 2 Palmeiras
19/07/2017 – Flamengo 2 x 2 Palmeiras
27/10/2018 – Flamengo 1 x 1 Palmeiras
01/09/2019 – Flamengo 3 x 0 Palmeiras
21/01/2021 – Flamengo 2 x 0 Palmeiras
30/05/2021 – Flamengo 1 x 0 Palmeiras
20/04/2022 – Flamengo 0 x 0 Palmeiras
In addition to not being able to beat Flamengo at Maracanã, Palmeiras hasn't known what it's like to score a goal at the 'Templo Sagrado' since 2018, that is, five years. Therefore, in the last four matches of the interstate classic at the Rio stadium, while the Alviverde team did not score a single goal, Mais Querido scored six times.
Flamengo and Palmeiras meet again on the pitch of Maracanã on Wednesday (08), for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. Despite Mais Querido's positive record, the teams arrive at different times in the championship. This is because the São Paulo team is the runner-up, with the same score as Botafogo, that is, 59. Furthermore, the Alviverde team won the last five games of the national tournament.
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.

The Minister of the STF, Alexandre de Moraes, determined this last Friday (30), the suspension of the social network X in Brazil. Thus, as the last post on the network, Palmeiras made a post provoking Flamengo. In the publication, the São Paulo team recalled Deyverson's goal in the Libertadores final in 2021.
“Is it really going to end now? 🤨 Well... then I'm going to leave a new last post 🤷♂️”, published the profile of the São Paulo club.
In the comments of the publication, Flamengo fans took the opportunity to remember the confrontation between the teams in 2012, when Vagner Love decreed the second relegation of the alviverde team. The striker, revealed by the São Paulo team, entered the history of his formative club as an executioner.
FLAMENGO IN THE SEASONDespite having provoked Flamengo with the 2021 Libertadores final, Palmeiras was eliminated by Rubro-Negro this season. On that occasion, Mais Querido beat the São Paulo team in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil, by a score of 2 to 1. Furthermore, the team from Alviverde was eliminated from the round of 16 of the Libertadores by Botafogo. This way, only Mengo is alive in the three most important competitions.
