Roberto Assaf: ‘The problem with smaller teams is that they think it’s a big deal to avoid defeat to the big ones, even when they can win’
Let’s turn the speech around to make it real. Portuguesa achieved a terrible result when they drew 0-0 with Flamengo, at Arena das Dunas, in Natal. He lost two important points to escape being relegated. The problem with smaller teams is that they think it’s a big deal to avoid losing to the big teams, even when it’s possible to beat them. If Lusa goes in search of victory it could be successful. And that. While the red and black leaders play with the crowds, Fluminense is slowly winning the tri, the Taça Guanabara and the Rio Estadual, perhaps the bi of the Libertadores, depending on the draws and the opponents.
Two questions that don’t want to be silenced. The first: what will Flamengo do in the 2024 season with Tite and his daydreams, trips to the United States, beardless boys at the State Championship, the ball that Lorran received as a gift to play with during the matches, and Vitor Hugo as Arrascaeta’s reserve? The second: what is the planning to be carried out throughout the damned Copa América – from June 20th to July 14th in Uncle Sam’s lands – which will take a handful of players, Brazilians and foreigners, throughout the disputes of the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores, and which could determine Flamengo’s total failure in 2024?
Fantastic at Flamengo, just the fans
The red-and-black base doesn’t have a shot at competing in the State Championship, just to participate in the championship, a task for a small team. What is fantastic about Flamengo today is the fans, who are present everywhere, in Florida or Rio Grande do Norte. These were the two blatant examples today in the land of For All. In the stadium, with more than 25 thousand people, there is the expectation of a goal, whatever it may be, but on the field nothing happens. You can’t twist it. It’s like giving someone a gift with the book “Sexual life after 80 years of age”. All pages are blank. They have already tried to sell an illustrated edition. But it was all a lie and no one bought it. Flamengo’s base, dubbing the professional, who is already quite irritating, is a work of fiction.
And here we go with another MAD double. Flamengo makes an absurd mistake by anticipating the use of young boys in training, some without beards, in the main team, in games worth three points and an important title. Worse, the club manages to convince fans, who in the heat of their passion swallow almost everything, that this procedure is the most correct. Well, in practice, few kids will survive the pressure. Just look at similar behavior in previous years. Rare people shined among professionals. In reality, all of this is highly irresponsible. Flamengo treats the championship as a friendly and a friendly as a championship.
Flamengo is already starting to run the risk of being left out of the four finalists in the State. That’s when Tite really won’t sleep, in the early hours of the morning, as he already confessed.
