The suspension of Erick Pulgar, after receiving his third yellow card, brought significant changes to the lineup of Flamengo for the next clash against Botafogo. The absence of the Chilean midfielder, a key player in the midfield, forces coach Tite to restructure the team, seeking to maintain defensive consistency and efficiency in transitions.
In view of this situation, the most likely and discussed internally is the return of Léo Ortiz to midfield. Ortiz, who traditionally plays as a defender, has already shown his ability to adapt to the steering wheel position in previous moments, standing out for his good performance in protecting the defense and, mainly, in combating aerial balls, one of the red team's recurring concerns. black.
The ability of Ortiz in positioning himself and anticipating aerial plays can be fundamental in neutralizing one of the most used by Botafogo, which tends to exploit this type of play well. This tactical change is not unprecedented and has proven effective on other occasions. Ortiz, even out of his original position, has maintained a level of performance that justifies the trust placed in him to fill the vacancy left by Pulgar.
His performance as a midfielder brings defensive security to the team, without compromising the quality of the ball. Ortiz's adaptation to midfield also allows Tite to maintain a solid defensive line, relying on David Luiz's experience in defense. Luiz, who should start playing, brings with him not only the experience of years playing for major European clubs, but also natural leadership on the field.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
