Tite contradicts himself when talking about Flamengo’s lineups and fans criticize: “it doesn’t create anything”

Tite’s Flamengo is very solid

In a game played at an altitude of more than 3,600 meters in La Paz, Flamengo faced Bolívar (BOL) last Wednesday (24) and ended up losing their first game of the current season.

After 20 unbeaten matches and the undisputed state title, Tite’s Rubro-Negro team has been impressively solid. So much so that there were only six goals conceded during the year.

However, despite the good performance and interesting results, the fact that technician is sparing some names has been the subject of criticism. In fact, a statement from the coach at the last press conference caught attention:

“I’ll take one more piece of information: I don’t know if we repeated the lineup this year, so it’s an indication that there are changes,” said the coach. Still, According to a survey carried out by GE, the talk does not correspond to reality.

Tite is criticized at Flamengo

According to the aforementioned research, Flamengo had 17 lineups in 21 matches so far this year, that is, they repeated the formation on a few occasions, but they repeated it.

In fact, due to the good performance in the most important matches so far, fans are already getting used to a base team, which has a backbone and some specific doubts, such as the fight between Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique.

That said, with the tight schedule and a squad full of top-level players, the tendency is for Tite to continue rotating the team and prioritizing the health of the athletes, thinking in the long term.
