Adenor Leonardo Bachi, Tite, refused Corinthians two days ago. It suddenly had an anxiety crisis that made him, with family support, decided to be necessary to prioritize health, body and mind. The “no” to Alvinegro Paulistano became imperative.
The coach announced via social network that he will take a professional break for indefinite period. “I am in love with what I do and so I will be, but talking to my family and watching the signs that my body was emitting, I decided that the best to do now is to interrupt my career to take care of me for the time it takes.”
It is evident that health must always be first. Without health, you cannot work right, live right.
I like Tite. I do not know him personally, but I created the image of a human being with good values, aware of what happens in society, and see him as a competent, dedicated, emotional technician.
I wondered: What is going on exactly with Tite, 63, experienced and victorious coach, with Brazilian Championship titles (twice), Brazil’s Cup, Club World Cup, and a Copa America with Brazil?
It should be noted that it was marked, however, in the Brazilian team by two painful eliminations in quarterfinals of the World Cup in Russia and Qatar. Brazil was superior in the 2-1 loss to Belgium in 2018, and in front of Croatia, when he had the game in his extension, took a counterattack goal and succumbed on penalties in 2022.
Will Tite need specific treatment with medical follow -up? Is psychiatric care necessary to recover and feel able to resume your activities in football? Will you have to take black stripe medicines? Is there a need for hospitalization? Or is it less serious, and only prolonged rest will solve?
There is alarmism in these questions, which for now they are unanswered? Perhaps. But without clarification, they are plausible hypotheses.
Tite is very reserved, almost inaccessible for interviews – in the current scenario, nor would it be recommended. I tried to talk to his son, Matheus, who is also his assistant technician, a person suitable to detail the situation, but had no return.
What is known is that Tite is a person who takes time to assimilate the hardest defeats. It is brooding them. I am sure that it still suffers from the falls in the world with the national team. Even more knowing that there was a team, twice, to be champion.
So much so that it took ten months, after the Cup at Qatar, to return to football. Headless, he refused, in early 2023, an invitation to command the South Korea team, contrary to the desire to work abroad. Half that year, he was close to going to Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, who ended up closing with Portuguese Jorge Jesus.
Tite then accepted Flamengo, the biggest team in Brazil. Greater, impossible pressure. Even though he won, unbeaten, the state of Rio in 2024, I never felt comfortable in Gávea, and a person close to the coach told me that he looked out of the carioca red-black, without combination or identification with the club.
He was fired at the end of September, after the elimination at Libertadores, in the quarterfinals, to Uruguayan Peñarol, in Parents (0 to 1 and 0-0), with Flamengo I live in the Brazilian Cup and fourth in the Brazilian.
How much does this dismissal affect Tite mentally? It is not known, he never commented on. How much is Corinthians, a team that has the second largest fans in Brazil, the “ball of the time” for the coach influenced this anxiety crisis that determined the withdrawal? It is not known.
The coach was brave in exposing a situation that, notes, is growing in sport, mental health, or lack of it. The most famous case is that of the American Simone Biles at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021-the supergregate, with a disordered mind, gave up several evidence.
Tite’s head is in clutter, which affects her body. It is good to be careful about it, to treat it. And it will do well, then, if you open and report your experience so that people can learn from it and, if possible, to prevent themselves.
After all, remembering the Italian poet Juvenal, “healthy mind, body are.”
Good recovery to Adenor Leonardo Bachi.
