Filipe Luís started Jorginho and Saúl as starters in the Flamengo x Internacional match

Flamengo 'paraded' this Sunday (17) and beat Internacional 3-1, in a match valid for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition to the three points won, the red and black fans had another reason to celebrate. This is because Jorginho and Saúl formed the duo of Flamengo's midfielders for the first time and had a match of almanac.

SEE THE REACTIONS OF THE FANS:

Through social media, a Flamengo fan 'joked' and stated that the players could play for more minutes: “Could put more three times that Jorginho and Saúl could play quietly. A lot of experience and quality, only the ball that ran the whole game”. In addition, another red and black fan praised the athletes: “Jorginho and Saúl playing as a duo of midfielders. What a show”.

At the same time, another red and black fan highlighted the performances of the players in the initial stage of the game: “Jorginho and Saúl paraded in this first half. Great game from both, I really liked it”. Finally, a passionate fan of Flamengo sent a message to the Nation: “Who didn't like Jorginho and Saúl in the midfield is cheering wrong”.

SAÚL AND JORGINHO HAVE NOT PLAYED TOGETHER YET?

Despite having already played together at Flamengo, Saúl had been playing on the right side of the red and black attack, performing the same function as Gerson. However, this Sunday (17), coach Filipe Luís opted to start the Spanish player as a midfielder, alongside Jorginho. The athletes, in fact, dominated the midfield and were fundamental in the red and black victory.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

Flamengo started the game against Internacional 'at full steam' and, just 12 minutes in, opened 2-0 on the scoreboard, with two goals from Pedro. Soon after, Filipe Luís' team controlled the game and went to the interval with the advantage. Already in the second half, the Most Beloved returned to press and increased the score with Gonzalo Plata, while Borré reduced the score for the Gauchos.
