On Monday afternoon, in the shadow of the intensity of training leading up to the season, Tite, the strategist behind Flamengo's magic, shared his impressions in an exclusive interview with FlaTV, the club's official YouTube channel . However, his outlook was not just limited to performance on the field; he extended the warm welcome he received in Orlando, on foreign soil.
"Yes, in the last game, the affection of the fans is an important thing, we talk about the comparison. The club fan, I'm going to talk about Flamengo , but I also expand... The club fan, he is extremely passionate. The relationship with the Seleção is different. The Seleção is in the most important moments, in the most important classics. The Flamengo fan is all the time, all the time, the moment all this affection. In the last game we also had the opportunity to reciprocate."
Tite's statement is not just a casual observation, but rather a sensitive incursion into the intricate relationship between a team and its fervent followers. The coach, accustomed to big stages, highlights the uniqueness of the uninterrupted support of the red-and-black nation, in contrast to the more intermittent pulse of the national fans in crucial moments.
"The energy is too great for that and a responsibility of this size (points to the sky). Knowing the importance of how many fans are happy when Flamengo is doing well gratifies us. But also an awareness that our work must be carried out with quality, with transparency and with care of the athletes, showing the good side and the bad side that must be corrected, without omitting one thing or another. We try to draw this line."
The responsibility that weighs on the commander's shoulders is not just tactical, but also emotional. Tite recognizes the magnitude of the impact that Flamengo's success has on the lives of its passionate followers. The energy emanating from the fans is fuel and inspiration, but it is also a constant reminder of the need to watch over the game with honesty and sincerity.
In this context, the coach emphasizes the incessant search for a balanced approach, revealing both the glorious achievements and the areas that require improvement. For Tite, the construction process cannot be a smokescreen, but rather a frank exposure of the challenges and triumphs that make up the trajectory of an evolving team.
Thus, while the pre-season in the States United reaches its penultimate act, Tite and Flamengo continue to follow the path of passion, committed not only to victory on the field, but to the perpetuation of the burning flame that is the heart of Flamengo fans.

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 .
