Part 4/6:
Renato’s courage to voice the collective sentiment of the teams sparked a powerful response. Players like Gilmar, who is now a coach himself, and other teammates joined him in affirming their support for Tite. They warned the vice-president that if Tite were dismissed, many players, especially those on loan, would leave as well. Their concern for the stability of the team made an impact, highlighting the bond they had cultivated over their two years with Tite at the helm.
The outcome of this pivotal meeting created a sense of solidarity among the players, which translated onto the pitch. In the following weekend match, Caxias managed to secure a hard-fought draw. This moment marked a turning point: barely four months later, the team would go on to conquer the Gaúcho Championship.
