IS FLAMENGO THE SAME AS MANCHESTER CITY? COMMENTATOR POINTS OUT SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TEAMS

Speculated as a possible reinforcement of Flamengo to fill the gap left by Pedro, striker Anthony Martial is free on the market, but has not played since December 9, 2023. On that occasion, Manchester United, his former club, entered the field to face Bournemouth and lost 3-0 in the Premier League. Martial was a starter and played for 56 minutes.

At the beginning of the year, the French striker suffered a groin injury that required surgery. Therefore, he was away for around 42 days, only returning in March. Even though there were three months left on his contract, Manchester United chose to let go of the player. Since then, Martial has been evaluating his next club and Flamengo is paying attention to his movements.

Just like Flamengo, Anthony Martial suffered from injuries in 2023/24. The star had several physical problems that kept him away from the field for a total of 60 days. Due to muscle pain, the player was not available for United in 12 matches last season.

After a frustrating draw in a friendly between England and Brazil in 2017, coach Tite decided to adopt a new tactical approach that would come to be known as "positional play". The confrontation, marked by a solid defense from the English team, made it clear to Tite the need to find new ways to overcome opposing defenses.

In that game, even with an offensive formation, the Brazilian team was unable to penetrate the defensive line made up of five players from England. From this experience, Tite realized that the key to overcoming this type of obstacle was in constructing plays that exploit the wingers' individual skills in one-on-one situations.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW TACTICAL APPROACH  < /b>

Inspired by the renowned coach Pep Guardiola, known for his tactical approach based on positional play, Tite began to study and apply the principles of this style to his teams. At Flamengo, where he is currently in command, the coach seeks to implement this philosophy, aiming to create opportunities through the patient construction of plays and the wingers' ability to face their markers.

A recent example of this strategy occurred during the confrontation against São Paulo, where the goal scored by Luiz Araújo illustrated the effectiveness of the positional game. The play was built on precise passes and intelligent movement by the players, culminating in a successful finish by Luiz Araújo.

The style of play proposed by Tite aims not only to break down opposing defenses, but also to create scoring opportunities consistently. By investing in the patient construction of plays and the individual skill of the players, the coach seeks to maximize the offensive potential of his teams.
