TITE MAINTAINS CRITICISM OF THE CBF DIRECTOR AND REAFFIRMS THAT HE DID NOT FAIL WITH RESPECT TO ANYONE

The subject of renewing Gabigol's link with Flamengocontinues to give something to talk about. Therefore, the Gazeta do Urubu portal sought out more information about the attacker's relationship with Rubro-Negro, through journalist Pablo Raphael, who found out what the number 99's desire for Mais Querido was.

According to some sources, Gabigol wants to remain at Flamengo and still believes that Mais Querido will renew his contract. Furthermore, it is his manager who wants to remove him from Rubro-Negro, as the player has not had space in the team.

Furthermore, Gabigol has a big feud with the Red and Black board, who are not afraid to publicly show their dissatisfaction with the attacker. Rodolfo Landim does not want the player to remain in the long term, as he is not showing high performance. Therefore, a short contract model was suggested, 1 year of contract plus salary adjustment, which left the athlete upset, as he expected a longer contract.

Even though he was no longer "loved" by the board, Gabriel will talk to Mais Querido's directors once again this week, as his managers want the athlete's situation to be defined as quickly as possible.

So, if Flamengo only offered him a 2-year contract , Gabigol would be willing to accept, as the number 99 does not want to leave the club through the back doors. The reason the player was cut from the match against Cruzeiro was in retaliation for the statements made by Júnior Pedroso, his manager.

Coach Tite was still energized by Flamengo's heroic 2-1 victory over Bahia, in the last ball of the game this Thursday (20), at Maracanã. The red-and-black coach made a point of praising the dedication of the group of players, who for the second game in a row managed to improve the game's result. The commander used strong expressions to define Flamengo's athletes.

At the beginning of the press conference, Flamengo's coach said that the team knows that the game is not just 90 minutes long: “Games last almost 100 minutes. Preparation is for decisive moments. What makes me happy is that the performance makes you find victory in such a difficult game, because the victory belongs to the team. This is my greatest joy.”

Next, Tite analyzed the difficulties presented by Bahia, who managed to keep the ball, especially in the first half. The coach once again praised the efforts of Flamengo's players: “The metaphor of fighting is appropriate. The team played a lot in the second half. This attitude radiates from the fans onto the field. And this dedication makes experienced athletes perform roles they are not used to.”

In a One of the strongest moments of the press conference after Flamengo 2×1 Bahia, Tite named two athletes who had to make sacrifices to be on the field. The coach said: “Allan brought forward the return, as we had no options. The right thing was not to have played today. Bruno Henrique couldn't have played in Curitiba. During the break, the doctor said he had nothing more to give him. Then, he left the game.”

To finish, Tite frankly answered a question about the will factor of the athletes on the field. Visibly irritated, the coach made a strong statement: “We have never lacked desire. Lack of will is not an adjective we use in football. Anyone who doesn't have a will is a bad character. It's a bum thing! Who doesn't want to work. What happens is that sometimes the other team is better, or our team is under pressure, out of adjustment. But it’s not a lack of will.”
