(The difference in performance from the first to the second half was due to) the phases of the game in which the opponent positions themselves. Positioning yourself in the middle, giving us space behind your back to explore. In the second half he came back, then you have the possibility of playing on the side and having players finishing from medium distance or crossing with finishing. Movement and positioning of the opponent”, analyzed Tite.

But the greatness of Flamengo, of its athletes, I wish I was wrong to talk about the calendar. But look what's happening. There are a number of conscientious press people (sic). (Carlos Eduardo) Mansur. Read his chronicle when he talks about the calendar. And there's no point giving me sweet candy when the athletes' union says: "Ah, I thanked Tite because he said so, but the calendar was there and we accepted 66 hours". You don't have to accept it, no. We, as a coach, have to hit, the athlete is going to crush it”, concluded Tite.
