Aguirre calls for Penarol "accommodated" against Flamengo in the Libertadores - See

Diego Aguirre faces an important strategic decision for the next game: defining Javier Méndez's position, which could impact the team's tactical formation. Aguirre, who has all the players available, including recently signed Alan Medina and Rodrigo Pérez, must choose between keeping Méndez as a defender or moving him into midfield. This choice may affect the team's territorial distribution on the field.

If Javier Méndez is kept in defense, he will integrate into the line of five defenders, offering additional protection to the goalkeeper Aguerreand potentially making it difficult penetration of opponents. This defensive formation is more solid and can be effective against teams that exert intense pressure in attack.

FLAMENGO HAS "ALERT ON" 

On the other hand , if Aguirreopting to advance Méndez to midfield, the team will have greater territorial occupation in that sector, which can help dominate ball possession and control the pace of the game. This change can provide more support to the attack and greater tactical flexibility, allowing a greater transition between defense and attack.

This formation suggests a robust defensive structure, with the inclusion of players like Léo Coelho and Guzmán Rodríguez in the side of Méndez, and a midfield sector well filled with names like Pedro Milans and Eduardo Darías. Maximiliano Silvera appears as the main reference in attack, supported by full-backs and midfielders who must offer both defensive and offensive support.
