The Flamengo has adopted a game strategy that is not entirely consensual among fans: the frequent use of direct links between defense and attack. Although this approach is not preferred by the fans, it has become a recurring feature in Rubro-Negro matches. The lack of a well-defined style of play under Tite's command means that the team is looking for quick alternatives to attack, especially in the face of injuries to players who are essential for creating plays.

A survey carried out by the portal 'Noite de Copa' revealed interesting data about this characteristic of Flamengo since the team's return after the Copa América. According to the study, Mengão attempted 646 long balls in their recent matches, which represents an average of 49 per game. Of these throws, 304 were accurate (approximately 23 per game), while 342 ended in errors (approximately 26 per game). This results in an efficiency rate of 47% in these long passes.


FLAMENGO PLAY IN DESPERATION

One of the factors that contribute to this long throw strategy it is the absence of important players to create the plays. Injuries to athletes like Arrascaeta and De La Cruz, both crucial for the midfield sector of Flamengo, have forced the team to look for alternatives. These two players are responsible for much of the organization of the game and the distribution of passes that feed the attack. Without them, Flamengo loses much of its ability to maintain ball possession and create plays through quick and dynamic exchanges of passes.

Faced with this scenario, the team has resorted to long throws as a way to compensate for the lack of creation in midfield. The idea behind this tactic is to make attackers able to escape the opponent's marking using speed, seeking to surprise rival defenses and create scoring opportunities. However, this long ball strategy has not always proven to be efficient, as evidenced by the success rate of just 47%.
