After Flamengo's victory over Palmeiras, coach Tite held a press conference together with Matheus Bachi, his assistant and son, and doctor Márcio Tannure. The coach clarified some issues that were being debated at the round tables.
At the press conference, Tite commented on the adaptation of the squad after the change of three coaches during the year. He also said that his technical committee tried to take advantage of the positive factors of recent work.
“We changed three methodologies throughout the year. Imagine changing three of your directors or your work team. How difficult does this make coordination? Sometimes one likes volume, another likes intensity, others lower... One likes set pieces with individual marking, the other positional, the other mixed. This all gets into the athlete's head and it's very difficult”, he said before completing:
“We tried to have these FIFA Data so that we could have more time for organization, to even search for information, not so that we could implement something. , but to take advantage of all the good things that Flamengo had and add some details that could enhance its characteristics. This is challenging. But these are our characteristics and please don’t make comparisons. We are not aware (of previous work). This is just the way we believe”, concluded Tite.
THREE COACHES IN 10 MONTHS
The Flamengo board’s planning for the season was not one of the best. This is because, within a 10-month period, Rubro Negro had three coaches directing the professional squad. The first, Vitor Pereira, was chosen to replace Dorival Júnior, champion of the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil in 2022. The Portuguese failed at Mais Querido and was fired in April.
Soon after, Jorge Sampaoli arrived. The Argentine's time at Rubro Negro was turbulent and included many failures. The first was the elimination against Olímpia (PAR) in the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Then he was runner-up in the Copa do Brasil, for Dorival Júnior's São Paulo.
Therefore, Tite is the third to take command of Mais Querido and arrived with the mission of rebuilding the squad and taking - qualify them directly for the Libertadores 2024. The coach's focus is to take Rubro Negro back to its glory days.

The Rio de Janeiro Court ruled on Tuesday (16) that the organized fan group Jovem Fla is banned from attending stadiums for a period of two years. The decision was made by Judge Renato Guarino Martins, responding to an injunction requested by the Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ) after new episodes of violence were recorded in early September.
The Specialized Stadium Policing Battalion (BEPE) released a report describing several incidents involving members of Jovem Fla . Among the incidents were reports of fans jumping train turnstiles , damaging a train station, and walking on the tracks, delaying the train's journey.
The Military Police also reported that members of the organized group were caught surfing on buses in the Cidade de Deus and Niterói regions. Fights were also reported on Avenida Brasil, near São Cristóvão, heading towards Maracanã Stadium.
According to the lawsuit, one of the members urinated on a police armored vehicle and posted on social media that he "wanted to cause trouble." A merchant also reported the theft of two cases of beer and two cases of soda from the stadium's North Sector.
BEPE also reported the assault suffered by Vasco fans in a bar on Rua Alfredo Valadão , in Copacabana. The court also sent a letter to the Public Prosecutor's Office with information about new episodes of violence involving other organized fan groups, such as Fúria, Força Jovem do Vasco and Jovem do Botafogo .

Flamengo will have significant absences in this Thursday's (17) clash, at 9:30 pm, against Estudiantes, at Maracanã, for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . Among the big names that will be left out are midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro and midfielder Pulgar.
Jorginho will miss the match against Argentina due to muscle swelling in his left thigh . Alex Sandro continues to recover from a left calf injury, while Pulgar is in the final stages of treatment after surgery on his right foot and will still require at least two weeks of physical therapy before returning to the squad.
With these absences, the coach will have to assemble a team with alternatives for midfield and left back. The likely starting lineup includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
The absences could influence Flamengo 's game strategy, as they seek to advance to the Copa Libertadores semifinals. The return leg will be next week in La Plata, Argentina, against Estudiantes.
Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela are the main names expected to return to the team after being absent last Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the Brazilian Championship. Both trained normally with the team this Tuesday (16).
