Tite minimizes boos and protests from Flamengo fans and highlights: "we had the performance and the result"

Flamengo was eliminated from the Libertadores early. However, what frustrated the fans most was that Tite chose to leave Carlos Alcaraz on the bench and not use him when he needed a positive result against Peñarol in Montevideo.

So, after the victory of Mais Querido this Sunday (29) against Athletico-PR, where the Argentine midfielder started as a starter alongside Erick Pulgar, the player was asked in the mixed zone of Maracanã about the clash against Peñarol and whether he was sad about not being activated. However, Charly highlighted that he was ready, but that the entire cast needed to be closed.

“I knew that if I put myself out there, I would try to do my best, and if I didn't put myself out there, play, I would also support the team. We went into a very difficult match, we all had to be together, everyone moving towards the same side. The truth is that the result was not what we expected, but I am very calm about the commitment I have to the club, to my teammates and to the coaching staff”, says Charly.

After the elimination of the Libertadores, the red and black squad has only two competitions to focus on: Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil. Thus, in the national knockout stage, Mais Querido takes the field next Wednesday (2), against Corinthians.

The first game against the São Paulo team will be played at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm. In this way, Flamengo will try to gain an advantage for the return match, which will be at the Neo Química Arena.

With Flamengo's elimination from the Libertadores, the red and black fans hope that the team will focus its attention on the only competitions left: Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil. Thus, after Mais Querido's victory in the points competition this Sunday (29), Tite guaranteed that Matheus Cunha will be the team's starter in the match against Corinthians.

“I didn't talk about relays. Matheus was the World Cup goalkeeper. The same thing remains, Matheus is the goalkeeper of the World Cup”, guaranteed Tite, in a press conference after Flamengo's victory over Athletico-PR, this Sunday (29), at Maracanã.

Despite Tite guaranteeing the ownership of the young archer, part of the red and black fans are worried about Matheus Cunha. This is because the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil can be decided by penalties and Rossi is an expert in this regard. Thus, some fans asked for the Argentine to remain in Mais Querido's goal.

So, despite the requests from some of the fans , Tite does not intend to change his planning. Remembering that Matheus Cunha was also in the red-black goal when Mais Querido eliminated Palmeiras and Bahia.

Now, the red-black squad shifts focus to the big decision next Wednesday (2) . The match between Flamengo and Corinthians will be valid for the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil. The first game will be held at Maracanã, led by Rubro-Negro, at 9:30 pm.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (29), when they host Athletico-PR at Maracanã. For the match, the red and black fans are preparing a series of protests against the team, the coach and the board.

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, the Mais Querido fans will take banners with messages to Maracanã. Coach Tite and the board are the main targets. Therefore, the Nation prepares posters with the following phrases:

 “Against modern football”, “Very expensive ticket for little football”, “There is no lack of support. What’s missing is football”, “Management is silent. Give back my Flamengo“, “Team of millions, floodplain board”, “Flamengo belongs to the people”, “To play for Mengo, you have to be willing” and, finally, “Lots of media, little football”.

FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE SEASON

Mais Querido was eliminated from the Libertadores last Thursday (26) after failing to reverse the score against Peñarol. Now, Rubro-Negro focuses on the Brasileirão, as it needs to win again in the competition if it wants to get back into the fight for the title. Finally, Flamengo is alive in the Copa do Brasil, and will face Corinthians in the semi-final.

Flamengo and Athletico-PR meet face this Sunday (29), at 8pm, at Maracanã. The clash will be valid for the 28th round of the Brasileirão and around 20 thousand tickets have already been sold. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere.
