On Tuesday night (2), Flamengo enters the field for the first time in the Copa Libertadores 2024. This will also be Tite's debut in the competition leading the red and black team. The tournament, however, is an old acquaintance of the coach, who has already played in eight editions.
The first round of Mengão will be at the altitude of Colombia, another factor in which the coach already has a lot of experience. Check out the history of the red-and-black commander's debuts in the international competition above sea level below.
First of all, it must be said that Tite has an enviable history of debuts in the Libertadores. The coach never lost in the initial eight rounds he played, having five wins and three draws. In total, the team led by the coach found the net 18 times, while conceding just eight goals.
Libertadores Champion in 2012, Tite started the title campaign in a similar way to the one he will begin in 2024. This is because just like that year, the coach's first match will be away from home. In 2012 he went to Venezuela to face Deportivo Táchira, while in the current edition, they face Millonarios, in Colombia.

2004 – São Caetano 4×2 The Strongest (BOL)
2011 – Corinthians 0x0 Tolima (COL)
2012 – Deportivo Táchira (VEN) 1×1 Corinthians
2013 – San José (BOL) 1×1 Corinthians
2015 – Corinthians 4×0 Once Caldas (COL)
2016 – Cobresal (CHI) 0x1 Corinthians
< b>Flamengo's training
For the debut match in the Copa Libertadores 2024, Flamengo must have changes in the starting lineup. This is because De La Cruz, Fabrício Bruno and Arrascaeta, who were in their respective teams during the FIFA Data, presented muscle fatigue and should be spared. With this, it could be that Léo Ortiz, a defender recently signed by the club, will finally make his debut as a Mais Querido player.
It is worth remembering that Flamengo has three absences already confirmed for the match. The first is Gerson, who is still recovering from kidney surgery. Another in the Medical Department is Wesley, who is treating an adductor injury. Finally, Gabigol is also out, but because he was suspended for two years for attempted anti-doping fraud. The number 10 will still appeal the decision.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.

Despite being signed only in the last transfer window, Saúl Ñíguez has already become one of the most important players in Flamengo's squad . The Spanish midfielder arrived at the club on a free transfer and quickly established himself in the starting lineup.
Spanish newspaper Marca highlighted the athlete's rapid adaptation. " The former Atlético de Madrid player arrived at Flamengo with the mission of becoming an important player and maintaining a prominent role in the starting lineup . His adaptation didn't take long," the publication reported.
According to the publication, Saúl is experiencing "a second youth" in Brazilian football and has already established himself as a key midfielder. Despite only registering one assist in eight games , he has played a more defensive role in Filipe Luís's team.
In the victory over Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , Saúl started alongside Allan in midfield and provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal in the 31st minute of the first half.
Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Saúl Ñíguez should once again be among the starters for the red-black team.
