Filipe Luís torn over Flamengo XI: "It's a tough call" | OneFootball

See what Filipe Luís said after Flamengo's draw with Grêmio

In the draw between Flamengo and Grêmio, coach Filipe Luís chose to start with Ayrton Lucas on the left back. After the match, the commander lavished praise on Alex Sandro and Viña, who are also options for the role and, moreover, showed indecision in choosing the starter for the position.

— After Bragantino, Viña played against Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, and Ayrton played in the Copa do Brasil. Both are doing very well. Alex Sandro returned against Inter in the Libertadores and Ayrton played against them in the Brasileirão. For me, the competition is fierce. The level is very high. Ayrton had a spectacular game against Inter. He didn't start against Vitória because he had a family problem —, he stated, before concluding:

— At the level he's playing, it's hard to choose. My choice was for the option I thought was best to win. All three continue to be very good options for the coach to choose and have a high-level left back -, Filipe Luís concluded in a press conference on Sunday (31).

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS AT FLAMENGO'S LEFT BACK?

Alex Sandro, Ayrton Lucas and Viña take turns at left back. In the game against Grêmio, Alex Sandro was not available, as he is dealing with an injury to his left calf. Therefore, coach Filipe Luís selected Ayrton Lucas to start as a starter. Finally, Viña was an option on the bench for Flamengo.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Due to FIFA Date, the Flamengo squad will only play again in the season on September 14th (Sunday), when they face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium. The Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows all the details of the match, on YouTube.
