Flamengo defeats Criciúma 2-1 on Saturday (20) in Brasília
Flamengo hosted the match against Criciúma at Mané Garrincha Stadium due to Maracanã undergoing repairs. After Flamengo‘s 2-1 victory over Criciúma on Saturday (20), coach Tite criticized the pitch at the Federal District’s arena in Brasília.
— The spectacle is compromised (due to the pitch). The pitch is indeed bad. We had already noticed it in the previous game. The last time we came here, it was good. Now it wasn’t. There are high-level athletes, health, and various aspects involved. It can’t be like this. There is even a risk of injury. Sooner or later, someone’s knee will blow up. I’m not just talking about Flamengo, but about the show -,” said Tite in a press conference.
🗣 Tite complains about the Arena BRB pitch and the risks it poses to players.

The pitch at Mané Garrincha was particularly affected, especially on the left side. In plays in that sector, it was noticeable that the ball bounced and, at times, sand would come up.
