Flamengo thrashed Bangu, 6-0. They took advantage of the fragility of an opponent who tries to play attacking, with the ball and fails, except for the triumph over Fluminense in the first round of the Campeonato Carioca.
Paulo Sousa set up the red-black team depending on the opponent. Clearly. Gabigol he was the only forward, a pair of midfielders fed him (Everton Ribeiro and Arrascaeta), with wingers attacking all the time.
The team also had Hugo in the goal, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Léo Pereira in the defense, Matheuzinho and Lázaro on the sides, Thiago Maia and João Gomes in the midfield. The Bangu descended and the spaces were explored.
It was very clear that the Portuguese studied the team led by former left-back and midfielder Felipe. Who has good intentions, but goes beyond the point when he tries to equalize on the field with a team far superior to his.
This is, and will be, Paulo Sousa’s Flamengo. Each team, each lineup depending on each opponent. Minutes, schedule, previous and next games, competition, athletes’ physical condition, everything will be considered.
If you’re looking forward to the “11 holders”, forget it. He doesn’t think like that, as are many European coaches. But if someone brings a coach from Europe, you shouldn’t expect him to think like the ones from Brazil, right?
