Tite’s juice will begin to flow when Flamengo faces the 3,600 meters of La Paz, on the 24th, against Bolivar
Tite’s style is very annoying. In a Libertadores match, at altitude, it was obvious that the coach would give priority to defensive play. The situation did not change even when Flamengo won 1-0, with one more man, an ideal moment to conclude. And the equalizer arrived. Tite’s juice will begin to flow when the team faces the 3,600 meters of La Paz, on the 24th, against Bolivar, an unbearable clash for the coach’s model, which will not reach the end of the competition. I repeat: Tite will fall before the Copa América.
The match starts balanced, but it is Flamengo who has the best opportunities, with Viña and Bruno Henrique. And as usual, he wasted both. Around the 15th minute, the Rio team begins to retreat, betting on counterattacks, which die in the center, due to rotation of fouls on Arrascaeta, or due to the inability of others, and Millonarios begins to take command, insisting on crosses. , even sending Leonardo Castro’s header to the left post. There is no team that can be created with Igor Jesus as a fan.
In the 39th minute Santiago Giordaana shoots from far away and Rossi puts it in the corner. Flamengo, at that moment, was already playing a bad game, and the opponent’s goal was a matter of time, as Rubro-Negro limited himself to rebounding, missing the rare attack attempts. The 0-0 at the end of the first half, given the circumstances, was a good result for the visitors.
Flamengo ahead
At half-time, Tite replaced Igor Jesus with Allan, maintaining his defensive paranoia, and the match resumed at a steady pace, while the Colombian team cooled down during the break. In the 16th minute, the Millonarios rearguard came out badly and Pulgar launched Arrascaeta, who was pushed by Larry Vasquez – sent off for being the last man – with an obvious penalty, which Pedro scored to open the score: 1-0.
The change was significant. One goal lead and 11 against ten. The imagined scenario: the venue looking for a draw, leaving room for Flamengo to finish. The Rio team retreats to attempt a counterattack and Tite puts Luiz Araújo, a tram pulled by a donkey, in Pedro’s place. The Millonarios lost it. There were no alternatives. In the 34th minute, two players who had just come on scored the equaliser. Emerson Rodriguez crossed and Daniel Ruiz concluded: 1 – 1. Shortly afterwards, Tite replaced Varela with Evertton Araújo, who had been at the base for two months, who suddenly occupied the team. Bad lucky.
With the new change in the match, the result became a Chinese affair. But Flamengo, as said last Saturday here in this space, would have problems in Colombia. As will happen in all commitments that go beyond the State Cup.
By the way: this talk about the great Libertadores favorite is the most interesting of the jokes played by the media on the public. Today’s match made that clear.
