Tite criticises Conmebol: “It is absurd that clubs have to arrive in La Paz a day early”

He Flamengo technical director Titeharshly questioned the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) after suffering a decompensation after the match against Bolívar, which was played in Peace last Thursday in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16.

“Playing in La Paz is very difficult. I am not going to use the term inhumanebut it brings with it a series of very serious problems. If he doesn’t take a break, there will be complications. It happened to me, but it could be more serious,” said the experienced Brazilian coach to a media outlet in his country.

Tite’s main complaint is that Conmebol forces clubs to be at the venue of the matches with a 24 hours noticewhich for him is totally “absurd”, especially if the match is played at altitude.

“It is absurd that Conmebol forces the teams to be there the day before the match. It is a lack of respect for science, “Because everyone knows that after six, seven or eight hours you start to feel discomfort from the altitude. If you decide to arrive just in time for the match, the club will be fined,” he said about the South American team.

Once the match was over at the Hernando Siles stadium, which ended with a 1-0 victory for the academy, but with qualification for the Brazilians due to the global score (2-1), Tite became unbalanced and had to be treated by his club’s medical team. Despite the discomfort, he managed to return to Rio de Janeiro, where He was admitted to the Copa Star Clinic until he was discharged.

Tite’s medical leave in recent days forced him to miss the duel against Red Bull Bragantino for the Brasileirão, which ended with a 2-1 victory for Flamengo.
