Analysis: faster and more accurate, Flamengo gives “token” of current champion in the win | Flamengo

+ Dome praises the speed of Vitinho and Fla in the win: “Every day he plays more automatically”

After the first 15 minutes, when Corinthians got scared, Flamengo calmed down the game and took advantage of the inspired afternoon of his guards, Vitinho and Everton Ribeiro, led by Filipe Luís, to involve the rival.

This time with more objectivity and faster passes, as Dome always asks for. It is true that the good fast launch of Neo Química Arena made life easier for the players and made the red-black power more evident. He had a goal in a cross from above, a low cross, in a corner kick, a kick from outside the area and in an individual play.

Flamengo submitted nine times, six of them in the direction of the goal, and scored five goals.

– We play very fast, which I always ask and I like a lot. This team plays more automatically every day – said Dome.

Vitinho, the character of the game

In the first four goals, Everton or Vitinho participated in the bidding. In the fifth, marked by Diego after a beautiful infiltration in the area, the two had already left.

Vitinho deserves a special chapter in the game. Discredited and criticized by the fans for his recent poor performances, he was voted best on the field against Corinthians. A lot for a different positioning, a little more centralized and with more options close to it to play. A function similar to that performed by Arrascaeta. But what was also different was the more rigid posture.

If he doesn’t swing too far back, Vitinho has a chance to be more important in the team’s rotation when Dome needs a point guard.

Another player who experienced intense emotions in the match was goalkeeper Hugo. He hesitated on Corinthians’ first goal when he went wrong to cut a cross ball, but then transformed. He made great saves, stopped the rival’s reaction attempt and left the field with a positive balance.

The defensive system was still vulnerable, especially in the crossed balls of the area. As soon as Corinthians was in more danger. The São Paulo team finished 19 times, 7 of them on goal.

In the little time you have to train the team, this should be the main requirement with your team.

– We know that we have to defend ourselves better. We need to improve the dead ball. These ten minutes that disconnect all the teams in the world. We need preseason, time …

Flamengo is the Brazilian’s runner-up with 34 points, behind Internacional on goal difference. This Monday Atlético-MG faces Bahia and has the possibility of retaking the leadership.
