Vanderlei Luxemburgo questioned the lack of finishers at Flamengo

Flamengo has been a topic on practically every sports program on Brazilian television. Thus, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who has already coached the Most Beloved, commented on the characteristics of the red-black squad. In this way, the manager mentioned the lack of finishers in the group.

— It's the characteristic of the players. You need to have more athletes who score goals. Do you think Cebolinha is a top scorer? He's not. When it's Pedro or Bruno Henrique, then you have more. Cebolinha has never been a player who scores many goals. The full-backs of Flamengo also don't score much — he began.

— Flamengo is a very balanced team, but the opponents already understand how Flamengo plays. That's a difficulty for Flamengo: they'll pass the ball from side to side, but you need to have players who make the difference — concluded Vanderlei Luxemburgo, this Tuesday (12), during the program ‘Galvão e Amigos’.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SQUAD LIKE?

Currently, Flamengo has only two center-forwards in the squad: Wallce Yan, Pedro and Juninho. In addition, the red-black team has Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique, Luiz Araújo, Everton Cebolinha, Michael, Jorge Carrascal and Samuel Lino as wingers who play on the flanks.
