As host of the game, Flamengo has maintained an impressive standard: receiving more than 60,000 fans. In the last eight games of this season, the team manages to gather the Nação rubro-negra at Maracanã to watch the spectacle that has been the games.
Fla's last game at the Rio de Janeiro stadium was this weekend, at the Sunday (16), but Fluminense was the home team. However, before that, Mengão played against Athlético-PR for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, where 66,505 people were present. And this wasn't even the largest number of people. In the previous phase of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo faced Fluminense and the classic brought together almost 70 thousand people (69,978). In eight games as the home team, Flamengo had 521,061 fans.
The last match in which this was not the case was more than two months ago. On May 10, Flamengo faced Goiás for the fourth round of the Brasileirão. Mais Querido won the match 2-0 but 'only' 44,948 people were present to watch.
Mengão's next game is also at Maracanã. On Saturday (22) América-MG comes to Rio de Janeiro for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game will be at 4 pm (Brasília time).
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.

Next Monday (5), the Deliberative Council of Flamengo will have a meeting to vote on the creation of a company alongside Fluminense. The idea of Mais Querido is to have a partnership with the Laranjeiras team to manage the Maracanã complex for the next 20 years.
It is worth remembering that the Fluminense partners already approved the partnership last Monday (29 ). In other words, all that remains is Mais Querido approve the creation of the company to have the contract signed with the State of Rio de Janeiro. Voting will be held at 7pm.
FLAMENGO WILL COMMAND A MAJOR PART OF THE COMPANYMais Querido will hold 65% of Fla-Flu Serviços S.A., leaving Fluminense with 35%. The difference respects the rival's ability to fulfill the investments promised in the bidding process. After all, R$ 393 million is planned for works and maintenance of the Maracanã.
Also highlighting that the difference in percentage, therefore, also occurs in profits, such as revenues not related to matches at Maracanã, rental for events, sale of boxes, collection from parking and stadium tour. In the case of duels, the income belongs to the principal, that is, Flamengo or Fluminense.
The new company is a Specific Purpose Company (SPE), with established governance. Each club may nominate three members to the board of directors. Furthermore, Mais Querido will have the right to choose the president of the board of directors and the financial director of Fla-Flu Serviços. Fluminense will be able to choose its commercial director.
