Tite is criticized by Zico after Flamengo’s defeat

Technician heard “few good things” from the idol:

The defeat of Flamengo against Bolívar, in La Paz, ended up generating several negative comments behind Tite’s back, who made some choices considered questionable in relation to the starters and even options during the game.

In the same vein as many fans, Zico, former player and idol of Rubro-Negro, criticized the coach especially for not using the five substitutions available in the matchin a game valid for the Libertadores.

During participation in the Redação SporTV program, the star made his disapproval very clear. In the 90 minutes, only strikers Luiz Araújo and Lorran entered the field, as well as midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, that is, 2 changes left.

“So it’s logical that the only thing I didn’t understand is that, in normal games, you and everyone make the five substitutions. But at a moment at this altitude, out of breath, you have to get everyone to play, even the fifth goalkeeper boots”asked Zico.

In the past it was the same “suffering”:

If that wasn’t enough, the former player even recalled that he also had problems when he played at altitudein the 1980s, even pointing out all the differences in the speed of the game and the weight of the ball.

“No matter how good of a condition you can handle it, the guys hit the ball and force you to run. The ball is very light. I went to take a corner there and I crossed the ball to the other side“began.

“You rarely see a goalkeeper take a shot and the ball ends up in the other goal. Yesterday, at the end, Rossi almost wanted to score a goal. The ball, when it touches the ground (gains speed)”added Zico, who also indicated that Bolivian athletes themselves suffer from the altitude:

“Themselves, how many passes did they miss, the Bolívar team, used to playing there? So it’s almost impossible to play a football game in a situation like this“concluded Galinho, as he is nicknamed by the Nation.

Coach permanence is guaranteed:

Even with all this pressure, the Flamengo board has already taken the decision to support the coach 100% and shield him from criticismwhich are starting to get stronger, at least in a large part of the Nation.

This is all possible due to the fact that the planning in the first semester was to win the Campeonato Carioca, goal already achievedin addition to starting well in the Brasileirão, something that is also not leaving something to be desired.

That way, Even though there are those who are asking for a resignation, this possibility was not even thought of behind the scenesas there is great confidence in the current Flamengo coach.

At least until now, Rodolfo Landim understands that Tite has made the best decisionseven if some of them are not working, as was the case last Wednesday (24), in the Libertadores.
