Tite takes a stand after Flamengo’s defeat in Coquimbo: “Confidence has fallen, we have to rescue it” | Flamengo

O Flamengo lost to Palestino, a much inferior opponent, and got into trouble in Group E of the Libertadores, in which they are now in third place. The 1-0 defeat this Tuesday, in Coquimbo, was analyzed by Tite as follows:

– There is a little word that is very important in football, and the result allows you to do that, which is a confidence builder. The level we were at at a given time fell because confidence also fell. It has a tactical nature to adjust, the individual, the technical and physical. It’s always a whole context. This aspect of trust makes you flow with things, and we have to rescue that.

Is it just a lack of confidence or is there some tactical problem?

– It’s the whole work, yes. I put some details when there is a question, I bring some details, but it is the whole work, including the tactical part.

How do you intend to manage the time issue, especially with the Bolívar game knocking on the door?

– It is a difficult time that we are going through, we are aware of that. We are aware of the need for results as well. What you have in football is sometimes a very short space between one game and the next to recover. In the same way that in victories there is not enough time to be happy, the ball also gives the opportunity to reverse the process from the next game onwards.

How do you handle this situation?

– It is agreed first with the coach, because he has the greatest responsibility. But it is shared with the entire work group, but the technician is the first. The moment, the work, the tactical part, balancing all these physical situations are up to the coach. It belongs to the individuality, yes, of the athletes, but it belongs first to the coach.

Defenders ahead in the final stretch of the game

– Leaves a defender who is a finishing man up front. It was up to Fabrício to have this freedom to have another pivot, another player in the area.

O Flamengo Are you experiencing a technical problem and the external factors that were previously brought up as justification no longer influence it? Is there external interference or is it a technical problem with the team?

– Tactical and contextual problem, cannot be separated. When you find a single answer to a problem, it is a simplistic situation. It’s from the set. When I spoke of other situations, they were not defined for a situation, also in the work as a whole.

Did Allan’s departure and Gabigol’s entry hurt De la Cruz and the environment?

– It was 4-4-2 with two attackers, the same way we played with Bragantino when Lorran came on. The same design, the same shape. In one case he gave an answer, in the other we could, but it’s part of the game. The 4-4-2 with two midfielders, second striker, two open, same as the game with Bragantino.

– I have expressed this and I will repeat it. First the aspect of respect for the fans. He will be sad, and I have respect. It is up to me, the coaching staff and the athletes to reverse this situation. We have to respect feelings and manifestations. I am aware of this respect.
