Calcio Deal Review About The Squad
At the beginning of the year, Vítor Pereira was the coach of Flamengo and experienced several failures, such as the elimination in the Club World Cup semifinals, defeat in the Recopa Sudamericana, and the embarrassing turnaround in the final of the Campeonato Carioca, which led to the Portuguese coach’s dismissal.
Thus, for the continuation of the project, Jorge Sampaoli was hired in April. In the style of play implemented by the Argentine, the team spreads out on the field based on the position of the ball, so it’s not something static, as everyone moves. What changes is that some players wait a little longer in their positions to receive the ball. On the field, his teams are known for their advanced posture, a high volume of chances created, and a lot of movement.
At Flamengo, the coach regained the confidence of the squad and started using players who hardly played, such as Pulgar and Wesley, who are currently starters.
Even when playing with 3 or 2 defenders, he usually sustains the ball distribution with 3 players, allowing the full-backs to advance and practically act as wingers. In this sense, full-backs Wesley and especially Ayrton Lucas have been standing out.
Therefore, considering the immense quality of the Rubro-Negro squad combined with the quality of a very courageous coach, with an attractive style of play, the expectation for qualification for the Calcio Deal is that Flamengo is a title contender.
