On Wednesday night (8), Flamengo was superior to Palmeiras and won a masterful victory over the São Paulo team. Rubro Negro won by a score of 3-0, the match that was valid for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship and entered the fight for the title once and for all.
In a press conference, coach Abel Ferreira took advantage of the opportunity to highlight the performance of the Mais Querido team. In the "outburst", the coach of the São Paulo team defined Rubro Negro's victory as "indisputable" and said that the team led by Tite was much superior in the match.
"Our opponent was much better than Palmeiras. The first 15 minutes were ours, the first opportunity is ours. But in a game of this level, where your opponent plays at home, with their pride hurt, they still haven't won anything this year, they were playing against Palmeiras, and they were better, they were more aggressive, they made fewer mistakes, they played better than Palmeiras and, in my opinion, they are fair winners. The opponent's victory is indisputable. Congratulations to them", he said.
THE FIGHT FOR THE TITLEWith the victory over Palmeiras, Flamengo entered the fight for the Brazilian Championship title once and for all. Rubro Negro is tied with Grêmio in points, both have 56. The team from São Paulo is the runner-up, with 59 points, the same as leader Botafogo. Red Bull Bragantino is right behind, in third, with 58 points.
It is worth remembering that Botafogo and Grêmio face each other this Thursday (9), so it will only depend on the team from Rio Grande do Sul to be able to displace the leader. Flamengo has only a 5.4% chance of being champion of the Brazilian Championship. However, Nação Rubro Negra hopes to win the title at "45 minutes into the second half", as was the case in 2009 and 2020.

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.
