Coach Tite cited the Flamengo version of Vitor Pereira as a parallel to explain what he wants for the current version of the team. He was satisfied with the red and black performance in the 2-0 victory over Fluminense, in the first leg of the Carioca semifinals. "I'll give you some data. Of the last four jobs here at Flamengo, and that's merits, do you know who scored the most goals, as an average? Vitor Pereira, as an average", said the coach.
The coach used this statistic to expand the line of reasoning about the need for a balanced team. The offensive performance with Vitor Pereira was compared to the work of Dorival Júnior, Jorge Sampaoli and Paulo Sousa, in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
When he mentioned VP, Tite meant that just scoring a goal is not enough. In 18 games in which he was on the sidelines for Flamengo, Vitor Pereira led the team to score 36 goals — an average of 2 per game. On the other hand, Vitor Pereira's Fla conceded 24 goals in those same 18 matches and lost four titles (Carioca, Recopa, Mundial and Supercopa do Brasil).
Tite's speech comes at a very good for Flamengo. In the 10 games in which Tite led the main team at Carioca 2024, there were nine wins, 24 goals scored and none conceded. " commented Tite.
The scenario means that Fla's goal difference in the campaign so far is 24 — apart from the two matches with the reserves and under the interim supervision of Mário Jorge. "He (Cléber Xavier) talks about defensive consistency and Matheus (another assistant) talks about scoring goals. That's the balance", added the coach, citing two of his three closest assistants.
Against Fluminense, specifically, the technical committee liked Fla's performance in pressing, but also in closing spaces in the midfield and, when necessary, when closing the marking lines close to the area itself. Offensively, the team created several chances and the feeling is that the 2-0 score was low, such was their dominance over their rival.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. In search of a good advantage for the second leg, coach Tite will have to deal with several important absences in the red and black squad.
Peñarol coach, Diego Aguirre, defined the starting lineup for the match decisive. With no important absences, the Uruguayan team takes to the field with: Aguerre; Léo Coelho, Javier Méndez, Guzmán Rodríguez; Pedro Milans, Eduardo Darías, Damián García, Javier Cabrera, Léo Fernández, Maximiliano Olivera; and Maximiliano Silvera.
Aguirre will have almost his entire squad at his disposal. The only player out of the match is Damian Suarez, who has not yet had his name regularized after his recent arrival at the Uruguayan club. However, Suarez's absence is not a concern, as the coach has a complete squad for the clash against Mengão. b>
On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.
This Thursday's clash is extremely important for the CRF. The Rio team needs a convincing victory to travel more calmly to Uruguay for the second leg, scheduled for September 26th. An impressive score at Maracanã would be essential to guarantee a solid advantage in the tie and ease the pressure for the second game.

There were five wins in nine games and 19 goals scored, the second best attack in the group.
Midfielder Lucas Vieira highlighted the relevance of the result in the first match of the quarterfinals. "Important game. I think it's always good to come away with a victory in the first game, especially at home. And try to make history by winning the Brazilian Under-17 Championship", said Vieira about the decisive classic.
In 2024, Flamengo and Fluminense faced each other only once. The duel took place in the first phase of the Copa Rio, when Mengão beat their rival 3-0 in Xerém. In that match, Douglas Telles scored two goals, while Pablo scored a great free kick from midfield. Now, the teams meet again in the Under-17 Brasileirão, with qualification for the semifinals at stake.
