During a press conference after the defeat to Botafogo, Tite, coach of Flamengo, avoided answering directly about the choice of Victor Hugo to replace Arrascaeta. The coach preferred to address the issue more broadly, highlighting the team's collective performance as a determining factor for the result. He emphasized that, in specific situations, he does not like to individualize analyses.
Tite explained that the team's performance in the second half was the main reason for defeat, pointing to the physical fall as a crucial factor. According to the technician, Botafogo's intensityremained high, while Flamengo fell apart throughout the match. Asked about Victor Hugo's entry in Arrascaeta's place, the coach avoided it.
“When he takes on specific situations he is very punctual, it is not my profile. When the team loses, it loses in its context, it loses as a whole. If Victor Hugo had started well, with good results, the question would be the opposite. Our entire team didn't have it, and especially when it was in the second half that the team began to fall apart in physical terms. It was falling, falling, falling, and we looked and noticed it. And Botafogo's intensity remained because it has quality, verticality, and a team with physical structure and an extra day of recovery”, said Tite about the choice.
The coach also stated that, if Victor Hugo had done well, the question about his replacement would not have been asked. He highlighted the quality and physical structure of Botafogo, who had an extra day of recovery, as factors that contributed to the opponent's superiority. Tite reinforced that the analysis of the game must be done considering the general context, and not just individual choices.
Tite's statement comes amid a moment of pressure on Flamengo, who are looking to recover their good form in the season. The absence of Arrascaeta, one of the team's main players, is felt by the team, which is still trying to adapt without the Uruguayan's presence on the field. The option for Victor Hugo, a young player in the squad, was an attempt to maintain balance, but it did not bring the expected result.
With Arrascaeta's injury and many absences, Tite will now have the challenge of adjusting the team for upcoming appointments. Flamengo faces Bolívar this Thursday (22) in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The red-and-black team won 2-0 at Maracanã and could lose by up to one goal to qualify.
