Columnist Rodrigo Mattos asked in the Red card the strategy of Tite’s technical committee in the Libertadores, after Flamengo announced seven absences for tomorrow’s game (24), against Bolívar, away from home, in the 3rd round of the group stage.
‘It should be an almost entirely reserve team’: “There is a question here and that is that you arrive in two games that are so important for the team with the players so worn out, that is the first question that needs to be asked for Tite. There are seven players who will not go: Varela, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas , Erick Pulgar, Allan, Arrascaeta and Pedro. Cebolinha was already injured. It must have been an almost entirely reserve team, with just De La Cruz, Bruno Henrique and Rossi. Maybe because they used the starters a lot in the state, did that have an impact? Or was there wear and tear that the coaching staff didn’t foresee?”
‘Libertadores wasn’t a priority at Flamengo?’: “You arrive against Palmeiras and Bolívar having to save and in three rounds of the Libertadores in two you have spared players, I think there is an issue there, was the Libertadores not a priority? Or was there a planning issue, I don’t believe that is in our Tite’s plans back there don’t seem to make much sense. Given the wear and tear he’s been experiencing, he has to field a more physical team, otherwise we’ll be in trouble there. a lot of shots from the midfield with the ball running like crazy, it looks like pinball, with the ball at a totally different speed”.
