TITE USES THIS TUESDAY'S TRAINING TO DEFINE FLAMENGO'S HOME TEAM AGAINST BOLIVAR

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.

Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.

Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.

So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.

After the defeat of Flamengoto Bolívar 2-1 in La Paz, coach Tite held a press conference to analyze the red-black team's performance. The coach highlighted some points that, in his view, influenced the negative result.

One of the main aspects mentioned by Tite was the number of excessive changes in the team. He explained that the sequence of games was very long, which made it impossible for some athletes to participate. Furthermore, the coach highlighted that the game in La Paz was extremely exhausting due to the altitude, a factor known to bring additional difficulties to the players. "It's altitude here and you who are here know it", said Tite, referring to the demanding physical condition that players face when playing in high-altitude locations like La Paz.

The match against Bolívar marked yet another challenge for the Flamengoin the Copa Libertadores. Despite the team's efforts, the result was not as expected, and now the team will have to seek recovery in the next rounds of the continental tournament. With the defeat, Flamengo now adds a setback to their Libertadores campaign, but still maintains their chances of advancing in the competition.

Tite and his coaching staff must work to correct mistakes and motivate the players for their next commitments. The red and black fans, who always show great support for the team, will certainly be attentive to Flamengo's next steps in the Libertadores. The expectation is that the team can recover quickly and get back on the path to victory.

Meanwhile, Tite and his team will have to evaluate their performance in the game against Bolívar, identifying positive points to be maintained and aspects to be improved. The coach knows the importance of learning from each match, especially in competitions as competitive as the Libertadores.
