'Horrible little defense', said commentator, who even disdained Fabrício Bruno in the Brazilian team after Mais Querido's defeat to Bolívar
|
0Flamengo's defeat to Bolívar, in the Libertadores, angered Gerson Canhotinha de Ouro. The former world champion player spoke on his YouTube channel about the 2-1 defeat at the altitude of La Paz, but was very unhappy with the defense of Tite's team. Especially with the Uruguayan left-back Matías Viña.
For Canhotinha, Matías Viña should not have even been hired and the former athlete's suggestion is to improvise a defender in the position. Furthermore, Gerson disdains Fabrício Bruno's call-up to the Brazilian team and says that only his namesake, Gerson, played well
“What a horrible defense, huh? It only has the best cast from the middle forward, not backwards. This Viña doesn't play anything. They made a massive effort to bring this guy in. It's better to put a defender in his place. David Luiz, more or less. Fabrício Bruno dragging himself. Selection? That's why the National Team is the way it is. Gerson played better than everyone, not even De La Cruz played well. It seemed like the altitude for Gerson was no problem at all. Bruno Henrique disappeared during the match. Where is that Bruno Henrique in the sprint?”, he asks.
The match only takes place on May 15th, but Canhotinha is already projecting a difficult game even at Maracanã. This is because the former player sees a good team in the Bolivian players, with a good touch of the ball and who can play a decent match even when playing without the altitude to disturb Rubro-Negro.
“The team from Bolívar is good. Touch the ball well. Mainly Brazilians. They come now, here. If they come with that touch of the ball, Flamengo will have to play better than they did. It's a team that plays. It's not very close to marking, except up there. Here we run more, but they will run too. It’s going to be a good game down here,” he says. Matías Viña even scored Flamengo's goal and Gerson Canhotinha recognizes it, but doesn't give much value to the goal. He sees Bolivian superiority and says that Mengo needs to win games at home.
“Flamengo conceded a goal two minutes into the game. Then Viña equalized at four in a move that no one understood, but until he was calm enough to score the goal. 25 minutes, Pato Rodríguez shot and made a great save. He only gave Bolívar in the first half. In the second, it was the same thing. (…) Now they have to take it at home, win both games (against Bolívar and Millonarios)”, he comments.
For the match to qualify, Mengão must count on a strong reinforcement

0Flamengo is preparing to face Amazonas next Wednesday (22), in Manaus. The game is valid for the return of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil, and the team led by Tite seeks to guarantee its place in the round of 16.
For the match, Flamengo must count on a strong reinforcement. Midfielder Erick Pulgar, who has been sidelined since the derby against Botafogo on April 28, is recovered from a sprained ankle. Pulgar did not participate in the games against Amazonas (Brazilian Cup), Red Bull Bragantino (Brasileirão), Palestino-CHI (Libertadores), Corinthians (Brasileirão) and Bolívar-BOL (Libertadores). However, the player trained with the other athletes this Saturday (18), at Ninho do Urubu, and has a good chance of being selected for the duel.
During the absence of Erick Pulgar, Allan was chosen by Tite to assume the role of midfielder. Allan stood out in the matches, especially in the 4-0 rout of Bolívar in the Libertadores, last Wednesday (15). With Pulgar's return, Tite will have the difficult decision of choosing between the two players to line up Flamengo's midfield.
The match between Flamengo and Amazonas is scheduled for Wednesday (22/05), at 9:30 pm, at Arena da Amazônia, in Manaus. In the first game, Flamengo won 1-0, and now seeks to confirm its classification for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
With the return of Erick Pulgar and Allan's good form, Flamengo arrives with full strength for the decisive clash against Amazonas. The red and black team hopes to take advantage of the advantage gained in the first game and guarantee their place in the next phase of the tournament.

0O Flamengo He beat Bolívar last Wednesday (15). In addition to playing well, the team convinced the fans, who were demanding so much for improvement. However, before putting on a show on the field, the athletes were motivated by Tite and Gerson in the locker room, who spoke about "leaving life on the field".
The first to speak was Tite. The coach demonstrated that he had not accepted the defeat at the altitude of La Paz and wanted to take revenge on Bolívar. Soon after, he gave instructions to the group. “The damn game there, at that altitude, was ruined. I'm not talking bad, I'm talking about competitiveness without the ball. Loyal! Loyal, but to win the ball. And with the ball, to play, it's light, it's talent, it's calm, it's discernment, it's technical quality. Balance these two things. But, I won't forget there”, said the coach. After Tite's speech, Gerson took the lead in the speech. Captain of the squad, the midfielder also recalled the altitude and spoke about making the opponent "bleed" on the field. “The game there was f*cking. Those who weren't there know that it was f*cking difficult, and those who were there know even more. It's a tough game, here we go in and kill the guys. Loyal? Of course, but with a shitty attitude. We are the ones in charge of the game. From the first to the last minute. Is it 100? 100 minutes at high intensity. Opportunity to kill the guys? Kill the guys. There they made us suffer, here we make them bleed”, pointed out Gerson. Tite and Gerson’s speech before the ball scrolling had an effect and the players from Mais Querido entered the field with a single objective: victory. In the first half, Rubro-Negro scored three goals and continued to suffocate Bolívar. In the second stage, Pedro scored the fourth and Flamengo qualified for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Now, the squad will have a free week to prepare for the next clash. Next Wednesday (22), Rubro-Negro will face Amazonas, in Manaus, in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil.
