O Flamengo played in this last Sunday (1), against Corinthians, with seven absences. This is because injuries have been Mais Querido's biggest nightmare in recent games. After the match, Tite revealed a story involving Arrascaeta and Nico De La Cruz in the confrontation against Botafogo, when the team suffered a 4-1 defeat.

Tite revealed that in the match Nico De La Cruz still felt pain and that he was at his limit. In this way, Arrascaeta committed to helping the team and sacrificed himself in his teammate's place. However, the number 14 was also at his limit, so much so that he was injured.


“I took six players before (the game against Botafogo), and I said: 'three will play in the first half and three the second'. I'm going to pass it on here because the entire management, Bruno (Spindel) knows, Diogo (Lemos) knows, because I tell them what we didn't do, what we're going to do... The guys are demolished, we're going to play with three and we're going to make three substitutions”, begins Tite before completing:


“I planned: half the time for Arrascaeta, half the time for Nico (De La Cruz). It continued and Nico didn't recover, didn't recover, didn't recover. Then Arrascaeta called me and said: ‘let me play longer. I’m fine and I’ll play more’. He got injured eight minutes in,” against the coach.

INJURIES AT FLAMENGO

Two games after Arrascaeta’s injury, Nico De La Cruz was also injured. In this way, the Uruguayans missed out on Mais Querido in the game this past Sunday (1), against Corinthians. Furthermore, Varela, Wesley and David Luiz also left the match feeling pain and will be re-evaluated by Rubro-Negro.

FIFA DATE WILL BE TO RECOVER THE PLAYERS

Now, the Brazilian calendar will have a 10-day break for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Thus, Rubro-Negro will have time to try to recover at least two athletes for the sequence of games in September. Furthermore, Tite will be able to train the team and solve the problems that arose during the last matches.

Pedro's injury seems to reveal the real extent of the loss of space in Flamengo's team under coach Tite. Bruno Henrique has been chosen so far for the role of center forward and, against Vasco, this Sunday (15), the coach opted for Carlinhos as a substitute. A situation that idol Maestro Júnior sees as an attempt to send a message to Gabriel, who entered the classic with five minutes to go.

“It was strange, really. Even because of his CV and everything he has done, independent of Carlinhos. But I think he would automatically be the man to step into that role. Whether it was more fixed or like he has done, leaving the area more. Some message was given, but Tite didn't comment at all...", Júnior said on the program 'Seleção SporTV'.


Tite was asked about the decision at the press conference and, just as Júnior said, he didn't comment much about it. the case. The stance that the coach adopts in some questions during the press conferences, and the Gabigol topic is probably the main one. He limited himself to saying that the option was based on “training and games”, in addition to highlighting Carlinhos’ decisive moments this season. Indicating that Camisa 22 is ahead.


The red-black coach's assistant and son, Matheus Bachi, assured that it was a tactical decision. This is because they assessed that the team needed a player who could take advantage of the crosses that were being created.

But the justifications were not enough to convince André Rizek. Continuing the debate with Maestro Júnior, the journalist stated that he doesn't see how Gabigol can be useful in Tite's Flamengo if he is behind Carlinhos in the hierarchy.


“He loses Pedro and opts for Bruno Henrique. But then Bruno leaves the game and the person who enters is not Gabigol, but Carlinhos. And so, if Gabigol doesn't beat Carlinhos at this moment, I can't see him being useful. A melancholic end for one of the greatest players in Flamengo's history.”

Bruno Henrique as center forward exposes Gabigol at the end of the line

There was a current that stated that Tite could opt for Carlinhos instead of Gabigol to maintain as much as possible the characteristics that the team had with Pedro. This is because, despite technical differences, both are taller center forwards, who compete for the aerial ball and can pivot at the edge of the area. However, the choice of Bruno Henrique has already forced a change of system.

The red-black team no longer has a regular center forward. This is because, although good at playing from the top, Bruno does not usually act as a reference to hold the ball in attack. Which forces Flamengo to play with a more mobile attack, with position changes with Luiz Araújo, Gerson and now Gonzalo Plata. In addition to having reduced shots and touched the ball more in the last two games.

Tite, therefore, is already willing to change the way he plays and adapt to the team without Pedro in charge of the attack. But he has not yet shown that he is considering the possibility of testing the team with Gabigol in the starting 11.
