“Tite fired now” after Flamengo’s shameful campaign in the Libertadores

The elimination of Flemish in Libertadores in front of Peñarol was received with harsh criticism by the sports press. The team’s campaign under the command of Tite was widely assessed as disappointing, with emphasis on the results below expectations in a competition where Flamengo, historically, has great ambitions.

Performance below expectations

Flamengo’s campaign in Libertadores was marked by poor results, including defeats to Bolívar, Palestino and Peñarol. These defeats exposed flaws in the team’s tactical planning and execution, which generated great frustration among the fans and intense criticism of Tite’s work. Even with a strong and experienced squad, Flamengo was unable to show consistent football in the tournament.

Lack of reaction in decisive moments

One of the most criticized points was Flamengo’s inability to react in decisive moments, especially after Peñarol’s goal. The team spent 167 minutes trying to reverse the score without success, which reinforced the perception that the team was poorly prepared tactically and emotionally to face adversity.

Tite takes part of the responsibility

After deletion, Tite was asked about his assessment of Flamengo’s performance and acknowledged that he needs time to analyze mistakes. Although he mentioned the need for adjustments, he also highlighted that the team’s reformulation and adaptation to its playing style are still ongoing.

Disgraceful campaign in Libertadores

Sports critics highlighted that Flamengo’s campaign in Libertadores it was, in fact, “shameful”. Even with a group considered weaker in the group stage, Flamengo had difficulty qualifying, being one of the teams with the lowest points in the competition.

Comparison with other competitions

At the national level, Flamengo has shown better results. In the Copa do Brasil, the team managed to eliminate strong opponents, such as Palmeiras and Bahia, reaching the semifinals. In the Brazilian Championship, performance is reasonable, with Flamengo occupying fourth place in the table. However, for a club of Flamengo’s size and ambition, being left out of the fight for the Libertadores title is unacceptable.

Tite’s style didn’t fit Flamengo

The playing style of Tite was also the target of criticism. Many point out that the coach’s tactical philosophy failed to fit with Flamengo’s squad, resulting in a team without the aggressiveness and intensity characteristic of winning teams. The expectation was that, with his experience and winning record, Tite would bring a more dynamic and efficient style of play.

Increasing pressure on the coach

With the early elimination in the Libertadores and only average results in the Brazilian Championship, the pressure on Tite increases. Flamengo fans are known for their demands and, despite the initial support for the coach, the demand for immediate results is increasingly stronger. The coach knows that he will have to deliver consistent results quickly to avoid further strain on the fans.

Cast reshuffle

The criticism also extends to Flamengo’s squad, which, according to experts, needs to undergo a reformulation. Despite having talented and experienced players, the team has not shown cohesion or consistency on the field. The elimination in the Libertadores reinforces the need for changes, both in the squad and in the tactical approach.

Focus on Brasileirão

The next challenge will be against Athletico Paranaense, and the result of this game will be an important thermometer to measure the atmosphere between the fans and the team. Tite will have the mission of rebuilding the team’s morale and adjusting the flaws exposed in the continental competition.

Tite’s future at Flamengo
