Flamengo conquered the Brazilian this Thursday in an agonizing final of the championship in which they reaped a sweet defeat against Sao Paulo (2-1) that did not make the title escape. It would have been so if International would have surpassed Corinthians, but the set of Porto Alegre he failed to go from 0-0 and the trophy went to the “Mengao” showcases. From the hand of Rogério Ceni, who has only been in office for a few months, Flamengo reigns in Brazil and it is a good time to do a brief analysis on the type of equipment in question.
We start from yes Flamengo He is champion because he has more than deserved it. It is a solid and consistent team, but at the same time dominant in terms of getting what he wants to play in games and proactive in creating the game. The 2-1 of this Thursday before Sao Paulo is a clear example, because it can be classified as a miracle that the result was this and not one favorable to Flamengo. Those of Rogério Ceni They enjoyed 64% of the ball possession, and although this is only an indication of one of the styles of play that can be bet on to win, it is striking that the number of shots fired by Flamengo was 19 while Sao Paulo starred in 4. Where was the problem? In which only 1 of the 19 was on target, the goal of Bruno Henrique.
Rogério Ceni took over the team in November, replacing the Catalan Domènec Torrent that, although he had achieved good results, he did not quite convince either the offices or the dressing room itself. And the exporter has been able to take advantage of the best of what was already established to improve it and lead the team to the championship.
In terms of tactical drawing, this Flamengo is structured in 4-4-2, with special care to attack on the wings, enjoying on the left of From Arrascaeta, the star of this team, and on the right of Everton Ribeiro. In the engine room the experienced Gerson Y Diego Ribas, above the attack duo formed by ‘Gabigol' Y Bruno Henrique, and behind people hardened in a thousand battles like Filipe Luis, Mauritius Island Y Rodrigo Caio. Wow, in other words, a great team with all the letters.
Flamengo He has returned (if he ever left), and although it is difficult to imagine how he would fare in European football (that eternal question with South American teams), there is no doubt that he has been the more than fair winner of this Brazilian.
