Roberto Assaf: Flamengo, what a miserable match…

In the match against Athletico nothing different happened compared to what we have seen during the season: a Fla

Flamengo-Athlético 1 to 0, goal from Gérson, an exception in the face of so much tragedy. Be patient in following a section like this. It’s a regrettable end to the year. By the way, according to projections, the club will not even get a place in the pre-Libertadores. And the submission of the Paraná team?

That’s how it is. Flamengo today completed the first of the last 14 commitments for the 2024 season, which will be marked by the management’s childish stubbornness in keeping the coach who collects embarrassments. The Rossoneri fan is a human being who needs to be urgently and in-depth examined by science. After all, their presence in stadiums is proportional to the number of club failures.

Nelson Rodrigues said that women like to be beaten, which is currently politically incorrect, as it should be. But that’s exactly what the Gavean fanatic does. A general strike, a completely empty Maracanã, as a silent protest for the continuity of Tite and his ministry, could be of great importance in dismissing this group. Yet there were the irrationals, supporting a cause already literally lost.

This Flamengo won’t win anything

Flamengo will no longer win anything in 2024, if the sad character CT continues at the club. Let’s underline it: Flamengo will not win anything. Now all that remains is to wait for the process of the new council that will win the December elections. From which radical changes are expected, including, of course, the hiring of professionals who have affinity with Rubro-Negro to lead the football.

In the match against Athletico, however, nothing very different happened compared to what we saw during the season: a messed up team in all three sectors; A fragile team in defense, confused in the center and not very operational in attack. This against a weak opponent from a technical point of view. And they opted for a defensive game, to avoid – according to the Paraná team – suffering another four-way defeat, as happened last Thursday in Argentina, against Racing.

Victory in the end

In the 61st minute, the coach made three changes and Flamengo continued to drag, demonstrating an incredible lack of creativity, with dozens of passes invariably ending up at the opponents’ feet. Midway through the second half, Tite and the man with the clipboard were talking, and Athletico, today a mediocre and cowardly team, considered the result excellent, taking into account that they rarely went looking for a goal. After half an hour the Rossoneri’s fuel practically ran out and La Cruz, the great disappointment of recent years, entered the field. The most interesting thing at that moment was the almost certainty – only due to a serious injury would there have been a change – that Allan would remain on the bench.

Regulation time had already passed and Wesley headed a cross to Gérson, to the right of Mycael: 1 to 0. But the amazement was once again evident, and there were Tite and his coach, who will leave the club only because it can be seen after the Corinthians massacre in the Copa do Brasil.
