The game was well criticized by both fans in the networks and in the stadium

Flamengo no longer has 100% success and lost the lead in terms of goals. In a highly contested match at Allianz Parque, the team finished 0-0 against Palmeiras. The lukewarm game with a zero score has a plausible justification for coach Tite, as mentioned in the press conference.
The Flamengo coach did not like the pitch and the refereeing in the duel and also explained that there was a greater role for part of the teams' defenses, rather than the performance of the players responsible for creating attacking plays
"Take part of your question (talking to the reporter) and you've already given the answers. Gramado that provides speed, the refereeing could also be at a better level. It's not because I received a yellow card, there has to be an established criterion for the two teams in the marking process with two different contact models. of creativity. In the few moments when the teams had creativity, there was no conclusion", declared Tite.
With the confrontation against Alviverde from São Paulo over, Tite's Flamengo has the mountain to climb. In this sense, Flamengo will go to the altitude of La Paz to face Bolívar, in the Copa Libertadores da América. The confrontation takes place next Wednesday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
Coach pointed out his reasons for disagreeing with the question

“Flamengo lost to Corinthians 2-1 last Sunday (01), in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship. In the post-game press conference, coach Tite was asked about Fla's poor performance in the second half of the most recent matches. The coach commented on the goals conceded and disagreed that his team performed poorly in the match.
“If they get disorganized, I associate it with the number of opportunities the opponent has in the second half. I don't see a big number. Botafogo did create a lot, because they were vertical. But not today, with all due respect, no”, said Tite.
Tite also highlighted the influence of changes in the team, which can cause changes in performance. “The team, when it comes with a lot of modifications, will sometimes fluctuate,” he commented. Furthermore, the coach recognized that squad rotation can impact the team's consistency on the field. However, he highlighted that this is part of the process, especially when facing quality opponents and having several absences.
The next Mais Querido match will only be on September 12th, a Thursday, against of Bahia, in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil, at Maracanã. Flamengo won the first match 1-0 at Casa de Apostas Arena Fonte Nova and has the advantage for the duel.
