On Wednesday night, in Brasília, Santos achieved a fundamental victory against Flamengo. The game was tense and exciting, with surprising twists and turns. In the end, Joaquim had a memorable moment when he hit a beautiful shot from the midfielder, turning the match in favor of Peixe. With this triumph, Santos increased their advantage over the relegation zone to five points, a relief for the fans who have been following a difficult championship.

After the final whistle, coach Marcelo Fernandes shared his impressions about the match and the importance of victory with reporters. He highlighted the motivational conversation he had with his players in the locker room, emphasizing the need for competitiveness and intensity to obtain positive results. "I spoke in the dressing room. Our team will only achieve results if it has the intensity it is having and competes the way it is competing. If we don't compete with intensity, we won't win. It was like that against Inter. And the mirror for this match was the game against Palmeiras. We knew we were going to face a great team, be put under pressure, but we played well. Every time they showed intensity and desire, we got the result", said the coach.


Fernandes also explained the reasons behind of the substitutions he made during the game, relating them to the wear and tear that some players have faced in recent days. In this particular match, he chose to spare Lucas Lima and Dodô, demonstrating care for the health and physical condition of his team. "We took exams yesterday and today at lunchtime, we got the results at 4pm. We are very worried. We suffered a defeat in Porto Alegre (7-1 against Inter), it was very difficult. Then we faced Coritiba on a wet field and Corinthians with a wet field. The players were very overloaded", explained the coach, highlighting his concern for the health of his athletes.


The coach also shared details about his initial tactical strategy for the game. He mentioned that he asked Tomás Rincon to act as a third defender, while also having the flexibility to switch to a 4-4-2 system, with the ability to move the team according to the needs of the moment. According to Fernandes, his team finished the first half with a better performance than the opponent.

"Our initial intention was to have Rincon as the third defender. I spoke to him in this role, from within, to command there behind. We also had the opportunity to play in a 4-4-2 formation, with Nonato and Jean open on the flanks. We had two defenders left at the back and we were a little disorganized. So, we made a change and turned the first half around in a better situation", explained the coach, demonstrating his ability to adapt during the match.


In short, Santos won a crucial victory in the match against Flamengo, maintaining their fight to move away from the relegation zone. Marcelo Fernandes emphasized the importance of his team's intensity and competitiveness, in addition to sharing his concerns about player wear and tear. The tactical strategy used during the game demonstrates the coach's ability to make strategic decisions in real time to obtain the best results for his team.

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 DEARLY 

The 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.

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.
