The Flamengo, even being one of the favorites for the title, they face significant difficulties in aerial plays, both in defense and attack. In the defensive sector, the team has shown fragility when dealing with balls thrown into the area, which has resulted in a considerable number of goals conceded. This problem is recurrent and worries both the coaching staff and the fans, especially in decisive games where details like these can be decisive.
The expectation surrounding a team contending for the title is that it has a solid performance in all aspects of the game, including aerial balls, which are a fundamental part of matches. However, Flamengo, so far, has left something to be desired in this regard. The red and black defense has failed at crucial moments, allowing opponents to capitalize on these opportunities. This vulnerability is an obvious weak point that has been exploited by opponents.
FLAMENGO HAS A CHAMPIONSHIP BELOW THAN EXPECTED
In addition to the defensive difficulties, the Flamengo has also not stood out in the offensive aspect of aerial balls. Although it is a team that creates many scoring chances, its effectiveness in high-ball plays is worryingly low. Data shows that Flamengo occupies only 11th position among the teams that scored the most goals from crosses in the area. This is a performance below expectations for a team with the technical quality that the red and black squad has.
The inefficiency in aerial balls, both in defense and attack, raises questions about the team's preparation for these situations. The technical team needs to identify the causes of these failures and work to correct them. The lack of use of raised balls, added to the difficulty of defending them, limits Flamengo's potential to dominate games, especially against teams that use this strategy as one of their main weapons.
