Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-0 and won the Guanabara Cup, Carioca's first round. This is the eighth consecutive game without being leaked. In a press conference, Tite spoke about the team's balance and highlighted the average number of goals per game. And he summed it up: there was supremacy on the part of his team.
"In life, in sport, in everything, people think that balance is easy. But it is very difficult. There are different games within the game. The first half was balanced. But in the second half we had great supremacy and deserved the score. When I talk about balance I'm talking about a team that scored more than two goals per game and is consistent defensively. They're not good because they defend, they're not good because it attacks. It's good because it's balanced. Part of it is consolidation and constant evolution. We look for that", he explained post-game.
He also gave his assessments about the match: "I think that in the first half we managed to maintain high pressure for a very long time. Even when they managed to break the pressure, they couldn't have the depth We managed to control and lower the line. We made sure they didn't create so many situations. They have a habit of doing that. They changed four players, but they added quality players. We knew the problems they could cause. I believe that finding the timing to apply pressure and being able to organize the offensive process made us generate superiority."
When asked about the comparison with Paulistão, Tite recalled the statement and apologized again. The coach analyzed the competition in Carioca and praised Nova Iguaçu.
"I expressed myself badly and got hit hard. Fair enough. When I wanted to say that Carioca was more difficult, it was the moment of the big four in in relation to São Paulo, not in the whole context. I didn't express myself well. But Flamengo has a great potential, Botafogo who was on the verge of the title, Fluminense champion of the Libertadores and Vasco on the rise. And in comparison to the moment of the greats of São Paulo , it's more difficult. But also, some time ago, when Nova Iguaçu started to score a series of points, we did a circle: "Attention, we have to score points, grow in the table because there is a team putting pressure on. Soon some big ones will be left", he concluded.
