Ayrton Lucas prepares to start against Internacional in Flamengo's fight for the G4

Flamengo is going through a phase of adjustments in the defensive sector, especially on the left flank. Ayrton Lucas, who has stood out recently, took on an important role in Jorge Sampaoli's team. The full-back started three of the five games that Filipe Luís played for the team, showing his relevance in the coach's tactical scheme. The competition for the position has been fierce, but Ayrton Lucas has taken advantage of the opportunities to secure his space.

With Filipe Luís away due to issues physical and facing a natural aging process, Ayrton Lucas appears as the immediate solution for the left-back. The player has shown good performance both offensively and defensively, characteristics that are fundamental to Flamengo's style of play. His ability to advance the attack, without compromising the defensive recovery, pleases the coaching staff and keeps the team balanced.

FLAMENGO HAS PROBLEMS ON THE SIDE

In addition to the situation involving Filipe Luís, another important player in the squad is also out of action . Alex Sandro, left-back for the Brazilian national team, is in the recovery process after suffering muscle discomfort in his thigh. This absence opens up even more space for Ayrton Lucas, who should be the starter in the next match against Internacional, in the Brazilian Championship. With the uncertainty surrounding Alex Sandro's return, the expectation is that Ayrton will continue as the first option.

Ayrton Lucas has been consolidating himself like a reliable player at a crucial moment of the season. Flamengo competes simultaneously in national and international competitions, and the need to have a strong and prepared squad is evident. The player has demonstrated that he is up to the demands and plays a fundamental role in Sampaoli's offensive scheme, which prioritizes speed and the intense participation of the full-backs in the attack.

ONE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER

Flamengo's next challenge will be against International, in a match valid for Brazilian Championship. Without Filipe Luís and with Alex Sandro still in the recovery phase, Ayrton Lucas establishes himself as the natural choice for left back. His performance will be fundamental to ensuring the team's defensive solidity and, at the same time, offering support to the attack. The confrontation promises to be fierce, and the expectation is that Ayrton will maintain the level of his previous performances.

With the season progressing and the pressure for increasing results, Flamengo needs athletes who are 100% physically and prepared for the challenges. Ayrton Lucas has shown himself to be a key player in this scenario, taking advantage of competitors' absences to establish himself in the starting team. The game against Internacional will be another opportunity for the full-back to consolidate his space and show that he can be the definitive solution for the position.
