Journalist warns Flamengo of trouble, suggests a way out | OneFootball

Flamengo has not won in two games this season

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Ceará last Sunday (03), in the Brazilian Championship, and raised a warning flag due to the negative streak. On Monday (04), journalist and commentator Lédio Carmona discussed the problems facing the red-and-black team. In addition, he mentioned what can be done to improve during matches.

— In this period, since the World Cup, there have been seven games. Flamengo lost to Santos, in a match at Vila Belmiro in which they barely created any chances. They also lost to Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (30), at Maracanã, in the Copa do Brasil. It was a match in which the team had a lot of difficulty imposing themselves and showing intensity… Flamengo is not managing to be dominant and effective — began Lédio Carmona.

— The best and most convincing game since the World Cup was against São Paulo. It was the first game, and São Paulo was humiliated in that match. Flamengo ran over them, and the score was only 2-0 […] Flamengo is getting results, but the performance has not been up to the club’s standard. The standard of Flamengo, of Filipe Luís. The Flamengo of Filipe Luís has played much better than it is currently playing — concluded the journalist, during the ‘SporTV’ program on Monday (04).

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

Flamengo has played seven matches since the end of the Club World Cup in the United States. In that period, the red-and-black team beat São Paulo, Fluminense, Red Bull Bragantino, and Atlético-MG. In addition, they drew with Ceará and lost to Santos and the same club from Minas Gerais.

However, Flamengo raised a warning flag in the last two games. That’s because, with the 1-0 loss to Atlético-MG, the red-and-black team will need to win the return match to advance in the Copa do Brasil. In addition, the draw with Ceará kept Mengo at the top of the Brasileirão, but with the same number of points as Cruzeiro.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Therefore, Flamengo has its first chance to try to recover in the season this Wednesday (06). The team led by Filipe Luís faces Atlético-MG at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, at 7pm (Brasília time), in the return leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
