Team undocked. The absence of De la Cruz, who did not go to the game with a fever and viral symptoms, made the difference for Flamengo. The midfield was one of the sectors that faced the greatest difficulty in connecting, improving after Allan’s entry.
Allan gives you rhythm, he is a player with pace, short passes and volume. Enables Erick’s alternate output. When there are both, one searches and the other has freedom of infiltration. We managed to get out of this pressure Tite
Flying balls. One of the home team’s main weapons at altitude is the high ball and Flamengo understood this. Millonarios abused arrivals like this on the flanks and almost made life difficult for the team.
The Millonarios team came with high balls all the time, they had smaller players, but with good heading. And we behaved well and managed to get it out. We ended up conceding the goal. We set a strong rhythm. Physically we did well at the altitude. It serves as a lesson to calibrate your passes more and win in the other game Bruno Henrique
Physicist in evidence. Flamengo arrived for the debut between the two matches of the Carioca Championship final and, as a result, faced high levels of wear and tear. Tite revealed that nine athletes went to Colombia without the best conditions. In addition to midfielder De la Cruz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas and Luiz Araújo started on the bench due to wear and tear. Before Bolívar, Fla faces Palmeiras in the Brasileirão.
We came with nine players who had a problem. I can’t go in with nine players with some feeling, others with an extra detail. Especially because we have a qualified squad. When there is a clinical or physical need for someone to leave, naturally there are these players to participate Tite
