In search of classification in the Libertadores, Flamengo has finished preparing for the duel against Bolívar, which will be played in this Thursday (22), at 9:30 pm, at the Hernando Siles stadium, in La Paz, Bolivia. The game is the return of the round of 16 of the continental competition.

Coach Tite led the last activity on the morning of this Wednesday (21), at Ninho do Urubu, and outlined the team that will on the field tomorrow. The red-black commander will have two more absences for the match, midfielder Arrascaeta, with an injury to the adductor muscle of his left thigh, and full-back Wesley, who was diagnosed with injury to the anterior muscle of the right thigh, will remain in Rio de Janeiro undergoing treatment, according to the club.

PROBABLE FLAMENGO SQUAD

According to Pablo Raphael, Flamengo's likely lineup to face Bolívar is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas; Pulgar, Léo Ortiz, De La Cruz, Gerson, Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique.

In training this Wednesday (21) Tite outlined a lineup with De La Cruz as the team's main creative man. The Uruguayan, who was left out of the duel against Botafogo, will be the team's protagonist in setting up the plays alongside Gerson. The Uruguayan is no stranger to the role as he plays this way for the Uruguayan national team and has already played as a midfielder for Mais Querido.


It is worth remembering that Everton Cebolinha, Pedro, Viña and Gabigol continue to recover from their respective injuries. Midfielder Allan must also be left out due to a clinical condition that prevents him from playing at the 3640m altitude of La Paz. After training, the red-and-black squad will travel to Bolivia. Mengão could even lose by a goal difference and qualify for the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. The match will be broadcast exclusively by the Disney group, on ESPN on cable television, or on Disney+ in streaming.

The decision of Tite sparing the cast entirely raises some questions. On the one hand, it preserves players for more important commitments and minimizes the risk of injuries at a time when physical exhaustion can be a serious problem. On the other hand, placing an alternative team in a Brazilian Championship match, which is still in dispute, can be seen as risky, as a defeat or even a draw could have consequences on the table.

In addition , the choice of David Luiz and Cleiton in defense and Allan and Everton Araújo in midfield suggests that Tite trusts in the depth of his squad. He seems to believe that, even with the changes, the team will be able to compete at a high level. This also gives reserve players a chance to show their value, which could be crucial for the squad's dynamics in the coming weeks.


FLAMENGO HAS ITS TOUGH TIME

Another relevant point of this strategy is the issue of integration. A team that doesn't usually play together may have difficulty adapting to the demands of a high-level match, especially against opponents who are playing for real and with their starting team. The lack of rhythm among players can be a challenge to be faced, but it is also an opportunity for these athletes to gain experience and adapt more quickly to the demands of elite football.

Tite, known for being A meticulous strategist, he must have considered these factors when choosing to rotate the squad at this point in the championship. The choices reflect a balance between the physical preservation of the main players and the need to keep the team competitive throughout the season. The expectation is that this decision, even if bold, will not compromise the team's performance in the championship.

This Sunday's clash will be an important test of the depth of the squad and the ability of reserve players to take on responsibilities at crucial moments. Cleiton, for example, will have the chance to show that he can be a reliable option for the defense in the future, and Allan and Everton Araújo will have the task of controlling the midfield and dictating the pace of the game.

This Sunday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, the coach Tite made a decision that caught attention: he will spare the entire starting team for the clash. With the tight schedule and sequence of games, the coach chose to preserve his main athletes for future commitments, focusing on keeping the squad in good physical condition and avoiding injuries. This rotation strategy, common in long competitions, reflects the need to keep the squad fresh and competitive in the decisive phases of the season.

In defense, Tite will bet on a formation with David Luiz, who brings experience to the sector, forming a duo with young Cleiton, one of the squad's promises. Cleiton will have a great opportunity to show his service and gain confidence playing alongside a veteran with experience with the Brazilian national team and prominent clubs in Europe. The choice of David Luiz for this match, even with the team being spared, demonstrates the importance of having leadership on the field to guide and organize the defense.
