Tite, current coach of Flamengo, recently responded to criticism about the team's playing style, which has been the target of questions from the press and fans. In the midst of the final stretch of the season, the pressure on the coach is increasing, and expectations surrounding Flamengo's results are high. However, Tite made a point of explaining his approach and the strategy he is implementing in the team, reinforcing that there is a logic behind his decisions on the field.
During a press conference, the coach stated that the The focus of his work is on maintaining control of the game and using the right moments to attack the opponent. He said that when the team “plays a little to one side, a little to the other”, it does not mean that there is no intention of attacking. On the contrary, this movement aims to wear down the opponent so that, at a later time, they can make a more effective attack. For Tite, this strategy is crucial, especially in high-intensity matches, in which it is necessary to balance defense and attack to avoid gaps. This type of approach is part of a broader playing philosophy, which Tite had already adopted at other times in his career, including his time with the Brazilian national team. The coach is known for being meticulous in his tactical schemes, always seeking to make the best use of the players available in the squad. At Flamengo, this has been no different. The team, full of talented players, requires rigorous control so that each athlete can perform efficiently and within a well-defined system. The criticism that Tite has received revolves around what many consider to be a Too pragmatic playing style, with little boldness and offensiveness. Part of the fans and the sports press argue that Flamengo , with the squad they have, they should propose the game more, be more incisive in offensive actions and less withdrawn at certain moments. This argument is especially fueled by the expectations surrounding a team with renowned players, such as Gabigol, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique, who are seen as fundamental pieces for a more offensive style. However, Tite refutes this view . He highlighted that the modern game demands more than just attacking football and that a balance between attack and defense is essential for success in high-level competitions. According to him, Flamengo cannot simply "attack for the sake of attacking", without taking into account the defensive solidity and the physical exhaustion that each match imposes. This type of more calculated approach is, for Tite, a way of preserving the team during the 90 minutes and, at the same time, ensuring that the team is always in a favorable position to achieve victory.

Tite, current coach of Flamengo, was direct when commenting on the tight calendar of Brazilian football and the idea of sparing players amid the intense sequence of games. In a recent interview, he spared no criticism of the current competition model in the country and made it clear that, contrary to what many suggest, he has no intention of arbitrarily preserving players in decisive moments.
Tite's main criticism revolves around the excess of games throughout the season. The Brazilian calendar is historically tight, with competitions such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Libertadores, and, in years of the World Cup or Copa América, there is still the weight of international team tournaments. This scenario means that clubs, especially the big ones, have to deal with an exorbitant number of matches in a short space of time, which increases the wear and tear on players and, consequently, the risk of injuries.
However, despite this situation, the coach made it clear that it is not in his plans to adopt a strategy of rotating players indiscriminately. "No one spares", said Tite, in response to suggestions that Flamengocould rest its main athletes in some games. He highlighted that sparing athletes without a clear justification, just with the intention of preserving the squad, would be a risky attitude, especially considering the pressure for immediate results in a club of Flamengo's magnitude.
Tite was also emphatic when explaining that, when making decisions about the lineup, he takes into account several factors, including the physical condition of the athletes, the importance of the match and the team's long-term planning. "Am I going to save my job? Put my job at risk?", joked the coach, highlighting that, in a club with pressure and expectations like Flamengo, a bad result can be costly, including a coach's position.
The Brazilian football calendar is one of the most intense in the world. While in many European countries clubs play, on average, between 45 and 50 matches per season, in Brazil this number easily exceeds 70, considering all competitions. Furthermore, long trips between states, climate variations and the difference in the quality of lawns contribute to the wear and tear of athletes.
