In the early hours of Thursday (6) to Friday (7), Fluminense fans went to Rio de Janeiro Airport to welcome Thiago Silva. The 40-year-old defender was also presented to more than 55 thousand fans at Maracanã, but in his first interview he cited Flamengo as an example.

"All teams see Fluminense as an opponent to be beaten, prepare for such a situation. That's why the start was a little lower, but now I believe it will rise again. When something really big, like the Libertadores, is won, there is a delay to get back on track, to be able to compete in the season. next", said Thiago Silva, in the first press conference on his return to Fluminense.


" If you look at our rival (Flamengo), Tite arrived, who changed a little. It's normal for this to happen. The pre-season wasn't great, there was the World Cup, you lengthen the season, there's less pre-season time, and I believe that Fluminense will rise. Not because I'm arriving. That's how football works. Pressure will always exist, I'm not here to take a stroll. I hope that I can, together with my group, make Fluminense victorious", added the defender.

EXAMPLE FROM FLAMENGO

The defender referred to the 2022 and 2023 seasons of < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/flamengo-almeja-estrutura-de-clubes-europeu-e-visita-o-arsenal-na-inglaterra-entenda-o-caso" target="_blank"> Mais Querido. After winning the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores, Rubro-Negro failed in the seven competitions played the following year. Now, it is trying to return to the path of titles with Tite.

On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).

In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.


Flamengo may have held the last training session under Tite's command.

With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.

In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.
