According to Léo José, Tite will begin his journey as coach of Flamengo, taking charge of the Rio team at a challenging time. In his first week of training during FIFA Data, the experienced coach will have to deal with the absence of four important players in his squad. The absences begin in midfield, where Chilean Erick Pulgar, Uruguayan Arrascaeta and Brazilian Gerson are serving their national teams in international commitments. These players will only be available to Tite from October 18th, which limits his tactical options for the initial matches under his command.
In addition to the trio of midfielders, midfielder Allan will also be left out of the initial activities of Tite at Flamengo. The player is recovering from an injury and will not be available to the coach at the beginning of his tenure. Therefore, Tite will have to adjust his formation and strategy considering these significant absences. Tite's arrival at Flamengo generated great expectations among fans, who hope to see his attacking style of play and tactical organization being implemented at the club. However, the coach will have to deal with these absences right away, which represents an additional challenge in adapting to the new environment.
To make up for the absences of Erick Pulgar, Arrascaeta, Gerson and Allan, Tite will have to look for solutions within Flamengo's current squad. Reserve players will have the opportunity to show their value and earn a place in the starting team. This could be a chance for young talent to demonstrate their potential. Another concern for Tite will be the integration of his methods and playing philosophy with the Flamengo squad. Adapting players and coaching staff to a new tactical approach takes time, and the coach will have to be effective in conveying his ideas and implementing his style of play quickly.
The Brazilian football calendar is always challenging, with national and international competitions taking place simultaneously. Tite will have to manage this busy schedule, making strategic choices to preserve his players' physical fitness and maintain the team's performance at a high level. On the other hand, Tite's arrival is also seen as an opportunity for Flamengo to resume its path of success after an unstable period. The Rio club has a talented squad and the hiring of the experienced coach could be the catalyst for a season of achievements.
In addition, Tite will also have to deal with the expectations of the red and black fans, known for their passion and demand. Fans hope to see Flamengo playing flashy football and competing at a high level both on the national and international stage. In short, Tite will face a challenging start as Flamengo's coach, dealing with important absences and the need to quickly adapt to the squad and the club's philosophy. However, his experience and skills as a coach could be the necessary ingredient for Flamengo's success in the upcoming season. The fans eagerly await the first steps of this new journey in charge of the team.

Flamengo's fans continue to impress world football's biggest names . In 2019, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk came face-to-face with the might of the Red-Black Nation at the FIFA Club World Cup final in Qatar. The atmosphere of that match left a lasting impression on the Dutch defender.
Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"
In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.
"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.
After eliminating Al-Hilal in the semifinals, Flamengo faced Liverpool again in a repeat of the 1981 final . However, Jorge Jesus's team failed to break down the English defense and lost in extra time. In the final, Van Dijk experienced one of the greatest moments of his career and was a key player in neutralizing the Flamengo attack. Players like Gabigol struggled against the defender's solidity.
Almost six years after that duel, the Nation is preparing for another big night. Tickets for Flamengo vs Estudiantes, this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals , are already sold out . More than 69 thousand fans will support Filipe Luís' team, which is looking to open up an advantage before the decisive match in La Plata.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.
In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.
Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.
With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.
Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .
Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
