“(Flamengo) didn’t play a good game, they have to accept that, especially the offensive creative process. It was below. In terms of finishing ability, creative capacity, the width of the field, in individual plays it was below, it was below. It has to accept. We have this awareness, yes, that it was below”, said the coach.
At the end of the match, the fans protested and booed. The red-blacks also hurled insults aimed at Tite. The fact was one of the topics of the coach’s press conference.
“It (emotional situation) is one of respect for the fan, of respect. It always has been and will continue to be. When the team is not producing, (the fan) becomes restless. We have to understand it this way. I have to respect the feeling of the fan. It’s the same one who applauds and is happy that he was champion or that he won the classic. That’s how it is. That’s maturity, that’s awareness of the activity and I have respect for the fan”, highlighted Tite.
