In a confrontation marked by controversies involving refereeing, Flamengo and Bragantino faced each other in the fifth round of the Brasileirão, ending with a 1-1 draw. The game, held at Nabi Abi Chedid, in Bragança Paulista, saw Bragantino come out ahead, but Flamengo managed to equalize the score.
Coach Tite, looking for alternatives, made changes to the lineup, opting for a scheme with four midfielders and Bruno Henrique and Pedro at the front. However, after conceding the goal and realizing the team’s ineffectiveness, he reversed the changes, replacing one of the midfielders with Luiz Araújo in the first half.
After the draw, commentator Mauro Cezar Pereira highlighted some aspects that Tite needs to adjust. The main one was De La Cruz’s positioning, suggesting that the player plays further back. Furthermore, he highlighted the importance of not changing Arrascaeta’s position in his absence, proposing alternatives such as Gerson, Lorran or Matheus Gonçalves.
— Tite needs to help himself: 1. From La Cruz to his, further back. 2. Don’t have Arrascaeta? Gerson adds, select Lorran, Matheus Gonçalves, but don’t change the Uruguayan’s positioning. 3. Bruno Henrique with freedom to leave the edge towards the opponent’s area, like today — published Mauro Cezar Pereira.
