Flamengo demonstrates problem against old Internacional and journalist criticizes

Flamengo left the field with a bitter taste after the draw with Internacional in the opening match of the Brasileirão. Despite absolute dominance in the second half, the team wasted several chances and was unable to convert the volume of play into goals. For commentator Carlos Eduardo Mansur , this problem has already become a chronic issue in Filipe Luís ' team.

Difficulty in converting chances into goals

Even with the draw, Mansur pointed out that Flamengo can take positive lessons from the match , especially due to the good performance in the final stage. However, the lack of efficiency is worrying and needs to be corrected, as it has been a constant since the State Championship.

"For me, the game, on Flamengo 's side, is possible to finish the game with a positive outlook, that Flamengo in the second half built enough to even win the game. But, on the other hand, reinforce a vision, which is prior to the Brazilian Championship, of a team that has enormous difficulty converting many games that it dominates, an opponent, into goals ", analyzed Mansur.

Against Internacional, Flamengo had 19 shots , five on goal and one shot that hit Juninho's post . In comparison, Colorado had only five shots in the match.

Structural problem of the cast

During the Troca de Passes program on SporTV , Mansur pointed out that this difficulty is directly related to the formation of the squad. The commentator highlighted that the team has many wing players , but few central attackers with finishing characteristics.

Against Internacional, this deficiency was even more evident with the absences of Gerson and Arrascaeta , who could bring creative solutions to the attack.

"I think this has to do again, I repeat, with the formation of the cast . And today the issue was very radicalized by the absence, at the same time, of Gerson and Arrascaeta", concluded Mansur.
