Botafogo beat Flamengo 4-1 on Sunday night (18). After the victory, coach Artur Jorge adopted a completely different tone from Tite when talking about the Brazilian football calendar. The coach treated the lack of space between games as a problem of the past and stated that it is part of the committee's job to prepare the athletes.
“It has worried me since April, when I arrived. If I'm not mistaken, I only made two games with a full week of work. This has been the sequence. That's no longer a topic for me. Would I like to have more time to work? Of course. Today we have everyone available, we have two more days to compete again in a highly demanding game. But that's not an excuse or an advantage, I've already had two, four days. I already lost, I already won. That's what we have, we have to prepare the players for that. It's part of our work”, said Artur Jorge.
Like Flamengo, Botafogo also played six matches in the last 20 days. The teams played two Copa do Brasil games, one round of the Libertadores and played three rounds of the Brasileirão between July 30th and August 18th.
FLAMENGO IN THE BRASILEIRÃOFlamengo is in a difficult situation in the Brasileirão. This is because, in the last three games, Rubro-Negro won only one point, two defeats and one draw.
With the defeat to Botafogo, Flamengo fell to fourth place, with 41 points, falling behind Palmeiras, who have the same score, but the São Paulo team has an advantage due to the goal difference.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAMEIn this way, seeking to rebuild the team, Tite begins preparing his players this Monday (19) for the clash against Bolívar. Mais Querido returns to the field on Thursday (22), at 9:30 pm, in La Paz, for the Libertadores.

Carlos Alcaraz, Argentine midfielder from Flamengo, was once again available to Tite after serving a suspension in the last game against Vasco, valid for the Brazilian Championship. Now, he is preparing for the decisive Libertadores clash against Peñarol (URU), where he should be one of the fundamental pieces of the red and black squad.
Since August 30th, when he started training at Ninho do Urubu, Alcaraz has been attracting attention for its performance. His first match for Mengão took place on September 1st, in a game against Corinthians, when the midfielder came on in the second half and had a performance that pleased both the coaching staff and the fans.
ADAPTATION PERIOD
After a period of 17 days of training, Alcaraz is fully adapted to the team's style of play. This time was essential for coach Tite to better understand the player's qualities and potential on the field, preparing him for future important challenges with Mais Querido.
MILLIONAIRE HIRING
Carlos Alcaraz arrived at Flamengoin a negotiation that involved 17.6 million euros (approximately R$108 million), with Flamengo acquiring 80% of its economic rights from Southampton, from England. The midfielder, who is just 21 years old, signed a five-year contract with the Rio club, valid until August 2029.

Experienced coach Joel Santana commented, on his YouTube channel, about Gabigol's situation at Flamengo under Tite's command. Joel believes that Gabi is hurt by his current position in the team, where he is the third reserve in attack, behind even Carlinhos, who was hired at the beginning of the season from modest Nova Iguaçu.
Joel suggested that Tite and Gabigol should have a conversation to resolve possible differences and improve the situation: “Do you think the guy is happy? Our beloved center forward, who gave so much glory, is sad, he is hurt. He sits the two of them down: ‘Let’s just have a chat between the two of us’. There you and Gabi are left. Sit down and talk”, said the 'King of Rio', as he became known for having been champion in the city's four biggest clubs.
Joel Santana is an important figure in Flamengo's history, being the seventh coach with the most games for the club. He had several notable spells, with titles such as the 1986 Carioca Championship, the Conmebol Gold Cup and the 2008 State Championship. In his 200 games in charge, Joel achieved 114 wins, 45 draws and 40 defeats.
Tite's termination fine at Flamengo
If Flamengo decides to terminate Tite's contract, the club would have to pay the amount related to his salary until the end of his contract, which runs until December 2024. With Tite receiving around R$1.8 million per month, the fine would total R$7.2 million. The information was released by the RTI Esporte portal.
However, so far, everything indicates that Tite will remain in charge of Flamengo until the end of the contract.
