Flamengo has a more offensive team assembled by Tite - Portal states

The club is looking for a way to be more incisive in attack

Pedro's absence in the attack of Flamengo due to injury forced coach Tite to reevaluate the team's offensive options. With Gabriel, Bruno Henrique and Carlinhos available, the coach needed to adjust his strategy, as these players have very different characteristics from Pedro's. While Pedro is a classic center forward, with presence in the area and precise finishing, the other attackers offer more dynamic alternatives, but with less physical presence in the area.

Gabriel Barbosa, for example, is a movement striker, who stands out for his ability to float between the lines, opening spaces and creating plays, but does not have the same presence in the area that Pedro offers. Bruno Henrique, in turn, is known for his speed and ability to explore the back of the defense, but he is also not the type of player who remains fixed between the opposing defenders. Carlinhos, still in the adaptation phase in the main squad, has a profile more focused on dribbling and speed on the wings, also clashing with Pedro's style of play.


FLAMENGO WANTS A MORE OFFENSIVE GAME < /b>

In view of these differences, a solution studied by Tite and his coaching staff has been to bring the midfield players closer to the attack. The idea is to use these athletes to make up for the absence of a fixed center forward, encouraging them to participate more actively in finishing and creating offensive plays. Thus, Flamengo tries to reorganize the team in a way that maintains its characteristic offensiveness, but without depending on a single reference man in the area.

This strategy can be seen as an attempt to redistribute responsibility for goals, taking the focus away from a single player. By encouraging midfielders to risk more shots at goal, the team increases their chances of shooting from outside the box, something that can be useful against well-positioned defenses. Players like Gerson, who have good access to the area and an efficient mid-range shot, can gain protagonism in this new configuration.


Another fundamental point for the success of this reorganization is the role of midfielders and midfielders in building the plays. With the absence of Pedro, who often held defenders and created spaces for his teammates, Flamengo will need more creativity in the midfield to break down the opponent's defensive lines. Everton Ribeiro, known for his vision of the game, and Arrascaeta, who also has a talent for finding decisive passes, will play an even more vital role in creating opportunities for the attack.
