Tite Date Begins – 10/09/2023 – Sandro Macedo

Flamengo is contaminated by salvatitis, now renamed flatitis. Like all “itis” diseases (hepatitis, cystitis, otitis, labyrinthitis), it is an inflammation. In the case of flatitis, the fans already live in an inflamed state, but now with doses of anxiety and hope.

However, the most serious symptoms can cause delusion and almost dependence. Corinthians have already been through this epidemic and even wanted to do it again, but they got a reality check and are under the treatment of Doctor Mano, the thoughtful one.

This week, Flamengo players will also be inflamed by Tite, the teacher, even more so now that we have the FIFA Data underway. In a few days, you, dear reader, will see some news mentioning how the athletes are enjoying their training and how the atmosphere has become lighter. Someone will say that the group is closed.

We can even call this stop Data Tite, since the so-called FIFA Data is useless in terms of the Brazilian team — since the CBF says that the World Cup coach will be that other nice gentleman, who is in Madrid.

Tite takes over after cleverly stalling the negotiations long enough to avoid the hassle of having to face Corinthians in Itaquera (or was it a coincidence?). It is also worth remembering that the teacher is only available because the Passport of Joy to Europe project foundered. No large or medium-sized club in the main leagues went after Adenor — at least, not that we know of.

The last time Tite worked on the sidelines was in the sad elimination to Croatia, in the Copa Vai te Qatar. After the penalty shootout defeat, he left the field and left Modric to console the Brazilian players. Sampaoli, known as Jorge, was condemned for a similar attitude after losing the Copa do Brasil. However — excellent news for Flamengo fans who didn’t like what happened — there is no end in sight for the red and black. Let’s wait for the Guanabara Cup.

Botafogo now appears cured of brunolagitis, a severe illness that was draining points from the leader of the Brazilian Championship. The inflammation caused severe pain in the manager’s elbow, who wanted at any cost to dismantle Luís Castro’s team and put it back together with his touch, a symptom known as arrogance.

Curious how numbers don’t always translate the story. When Luís Castro resigned, Botafogo was the leader with a seven-point advantage in 12 rounds. When Lage was fired, the advantage was the same seven points, but the atmosphere was like a wake.

Lúcio Flávio, the interim, took John Textor’s Putfire out of its agony. Now just do the basics and don’t put Tiquinho on the bench (pleasure). With the results of the last pre-Data Tite round, Botafogo opened nine points to Bragantino and 11 to Grêmio, Palmeiras and Flamengo — no chaser won. Not even an acute flatitis seems enough to prevent the black and white player from winning the title.

Meanwhile, Palmeiras is looking for antidotes for his bocatitis, a recurring illness at the club that comes from an Argentine cold front. The antidote increasingly passes through the young players of Abel’s team, still shaken after being eliminated by Boca Juniors in the Libertadores.

This Sunday (8), against Santos, Rony was a rival defender and prevented a goal from Palmeiras; Gustavo Gómez played as a striker and didn’t understand how the offside line worked on that side. It was weird.

But there is a strong dispute for second place, with eight teams separated by six points. As everyone wants a spot in the next Liberta, it’s best to join hands and support Fluminense (against Boca) and Fortaleza (against LDU), so the G6 can be inflated, not inflamed.

In time, Arsenal (woo) not only beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Premier League classic but also limited Pepito Guardiola’s team to taking just four shots on goal.
