The final of the Carioca Women's Championship will be this Sunday morning (19), at 10am, between Flamengo and Botafogo. Meninas da Gávea reached the final undefeated and that is one of the motivations for winning the title. In total there were seven wins and one draw throughout the campaign.
In the search for the title, Rubro Negro defender, Thais Regina, evaluated the team's performance in the competition and said that they had a good campaign, however, it will be a game very popular, as well as being a classic. She also said that the team will propose its style of play to win the trophy.
“I believe it will be a very competitive game. In addition to being final, it's a classic so everything is open. We had a great campaign and we have been looking for results game after game, and we will do the same in the final, where we will propose our style of play to win this title”, said Thais Regina.
Thais also highlighted confidence as the crucial factor for the team. That's because Flamengo also won this year's Guanabara Cup. Now, the focus is on the final at Estádio da Gávea. She also said that she is prepared to do her best on the field.
“The fact that we won the Guanabara Cup is certainly an encouragement and increases our confidence. We know the quality the group has and it will be time to give our best. The focus is on the title and I'm prepared to leave everything on the field”, concluded the defender.
REVANCHE?Flamengo and Botafogo will face each other again in the final of the Women's Carioca Championship . This is because the two teams decided the competition last year, and the rival got the better of Meninas da Gávea. Therefore, with six titles, the Rubro Negras are looking for the heptad to touch Vasco, who has a total of eight wins.
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.
