Tite arrived at Flamengo with the mission of preparing the squad for 2024, and one of the notable changes he is proposing involves Matheuzinho, the team's young right-back. The coach has introduced a new role for Matheuzinho, that of "builder full-back", and this has attracted attention. According to information gathered by the Coluna do Fla team, Tite has used Matheuzinho in this new role during Flamengo's training.
The position of "builder full-back" requires the player to occupy more space in the center of the midfield to assist in creating plays. Thus, the talented 23-year-old player now alternates between the traditional wing-back and this new position, which aims to contribute more actively in the construction of the game. In the last two games, the number 34 had the opportunity to play in this role. Matheuzinho's first experiences as a "builder full-back" occurred in the clashes against Grêmio and Santos.
In both matches, the young man came on in the second half, playing this function. Against Grêmio, he replaced Arrascaeta and had his first contact with the position, following the instructions of Tite's technical committee. Matheuzinho spent 45 minutes on the field, tackling this new task. In the game against Santos, history repeated itself. Matheuzinho came on to replace Wesley and, although he spent most of his time as a traditional full-back, in some moments of the 45 minutes on the field, Tite instructed him to act as a "builder full-back".
These experiences demonstrate the The coach's desire to explore the player's skills in different roles. Tite, recognized for his preference for full-backs with the ability to build plays, has been applying his philosophy to the Flamengo squad. This preference was already evident in his time with the Brazilian team, where players like Danilo, from Juventus, and Filipe Luís, currently at Flamengo, played important roles.
Filipe Luís, in particular, brings with him valuable lessons about the role of "builder full-back" due to his experience and knowledge in the position. This tactical change by Matheuzinho reflects the constant search for innovation and improvement in football. Player versatility is a valuable asset for any team, and Tite is exploiting this trait in Matheuzinho, who now has the opportunity to contribute even more to creating plays in midfield, in addition to his traditional role on the wing.
Flamengo, with its rich history and tradition in Brazilian football, continues to evolve and adapt to the demands of the modern game. With Tite at the helm, the club is striving to find new ways to utilize its players' talent and remain competitive on all fronts. This change could be a key element to Flamengo's future success, and fans will certainly be eager to see how Matheuzinho and the team adjust to this new strategy under Tite.

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 coach has his bias organized on the club’s current situation
