This Monday, 16th, Tite was officially presented as coach of the Flamengo, at a press conference. Of course, the question that could not be missed was asked by a journalist: her relationship with Gabigol. When asked if he had already spoken to the Mengão striker about not being called up for the world Cupthe technician was direct.
“I spoke to him, yes, and that they (Gabigol and Pedro) are competing in the World Cup, yes, but not directly. One competed as the pivot and the other as the movement forward. That’s why they can play together.”explained the coach, also referring to the question about the lineup of the two attackers together.
Regarding the possibility of Gabigol and Pedro working together, even with Bruno Henrique completing Flamengo’s attack, Tite said: “I talked to Gabi and Pedro and talked about the possibility with both of them. With Bruno it’s a bigger variable. Playing well means playing well in both phases”.
