TITE QUOTES FORMER FLAMENGO COACH WHEN ANALYZING THE DRAW WITH PALMEIRAS AND ASKS: "I SHOULD HAVE..."

On Sunday afternoon (21), Flamengo was left with a goalless draw with Palmeiras in a match valid for the third round of the Brasileirão. After the match, Tite analyzed the team's performance. Furthermore, he mentioned the former Rubro Negro coach, Jorge Jesus, asking for a plaque for the coach at Gávea.

"In fact, Jorge Jesus deserves a plaque. He did an extraordinary job (at Flamengo) , and he is the reference. It is even inconceivable for the guy to try to reach this stage, just like Abel here (at Palmeiras) and other examples. So we improved in the sense of balance", said Tite, before analyzing:

"Today we conceded the aerial ball from a header and we adjusted it to a dead ball from a header. The others all seem to have had a shot but it was on goal and all the ball shots were cover shots. We had conceded the goal coverage of the full-back, on the opposite side in an inverted ball. Because the model is what Abel said. He wants that detail of fifteen crosses, fifteen shots, duels, right?", he concluded, in a press conference after. game between Flamengo and Palmeiras.

PASSAGE OF JORGE JESUS ​​AT FLAMENGO
