Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

After taking charge of Flamengo, Tite, former coach of the Brazilian national team, made it clear that he is quickly adapting to the club's culture. In recent statements, he highlighted Rubro-Negro's striking characteristic: the incessant search for all possible titles. According to the coach, this spirit of intense competition is something that he not only admires, but is also incorporating into his own work philosophy.
Tite, known for his meticulous and results-focused work, revealed that the Transition to Flamengo involves constant learning, especially in relation to the club's winning mentality. "Flamengo has this culture of fighting for every title. There is no focus on just one competition, the goal is to win everything within reach", he explained.
This characteristic is notable in Flamengoin recent years, which has won several important competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. Tite, accustomed to pressure and the need for results, states that this mentality is something he is adopting in his day-to-day life at the club. “I see this culture, and this is what we are doing. Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
The club is looking for a way to be more incisive in attack

Pedro's absence in the attack of Flamengo due to injury forced coach Tite to reevaluate the team's offensive options. With Gabriel, Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos available, the coach needed to adjust his strategy, as these players have very different characteristics from Pedro's. While Pedro is a classic center forward, with presence in the area and precise finishing, the other attackers offer more dynamic alternatives, but with less physical presence in the area.
Gabriel Barbosa, for example, is a movement striker, who stands out for his ability to float between the lines, opening spaces and creating plays, but does not have the same presence in the area that Pedro offers. Bruno Henrique, in turn, is known for his speed and ability to explore the back of the defense, but he is also not the type of player who remains fixed between the opposing defenders. Carlinhos, still in the adaptation phase in the main squad, has a profile more focused on dribbling and speed on the wings, also clashing with Pedro's style of play.
In view of these differences, a solution studied by Tite and his coaching staff has been to bring the midfield players closer to the attack. The idea is to use these athletes to make up for the absence of a fixed center forward, encouraging them to participate more actively in finishing and creating offensive plays. Thus, Flamengo tries to reorganize the team in a way that maintains its characteristic offensiveness, but without depending on a single reference man in the area.
This strategy can be seen as an attempt to redistribute responsibility for goals, taking the focus away from a single player. By encouraging midfielders to risk more shots at goal, the team increases their chances of shooting from outside the box, something that can be useful against well-positioned defenses. Players like Gerson, who have good access to the area and an efficient mid-range shot, can gain protagonism in this new configuration.
Another fundamental point for the success of this reorganization is the role of midfielders and midfielders in building the plays. With the absence of Pedro, who often held defenders and created spaces for his teammates, Flamengo will need more creativity in the midfield to break down the opponent's defensive lines. Everton Ribeiro, known for his vision of the game, and Arrascaeta, who also has a talent for finding decisive passes, will play an even more vital role in creating opportunities for the attack.
