Gonzalo Plata, recently hired by Flamengo, was not called up to the Ecuadorian team for the next Data-Fifa commitments. This absence from the national teams, normally seen with some apprehension by the players, represents a strategic opportunity for Flamengo. Plata's absence from the squad allows the club to take advantage of this period to focus on the player's development, especially with regard to his adaptation to the new team and the coach's style of play.
During this period, Plata will have the chance to fully participate in training at Ninho do Urubu. This is not only essential to improving his physical side, which may be less than ideal due to the lack of rhythm in the game due to his recent change of club, but it is also crucial for his integration with the rest of the squad. Training with his new teammates during Data-Fifa will allow Plata to better understand Flamengo's game model, in addition to accelerating his rapport with the other players.
FLAMENGO HAS PREPARATION BY PLATA < /b>
Adapting to Brazilian football, with its particularities, such as the speed and intensity of the games, is a challenge for any player arriving from abroad. For Plata, this adaptation will be even more critical, given that Flamengo b> has a well-defined tactical structure and high-quality players in all positions. During this period without official games, the technical committee of Flamengo will be able to work intensely with Plata, focusing on the technical and tactical aspects that will need to be developed for him to become an important part of the team's game plan.
In addition to the part technical and physical, rapport with teammates is a key issue. Plata will need to understand not only how each player performs on the field, but also develop a relationship of trust and collaboration with them. The extra training time will be vital so he and his teammates can align, understand each other's movements and establish effective communication on the field. This can make the difference in matches, where a pass or a precise movement can define the outcome of a game.

Filipe Luís praises Varela, who is now essential for the red-black rearguard "he can handle it..."
The right-back has also been used on the left and could be a starter against LDU if Ayrton Lucas is not 100% physically fit this season

The goalless draw with Vasco, last Saturday (19), did not stop Filipe Luís from showing satisfaction with his team's performance. In a press conference after the classic, the Flamengo coach emphatically praised full-back Guillermo Varela , who was once again used in a different role than usual and responded confidently.
Whenever he comes in, he gets the job done." - said Filipe Luis about Varela
TRUSTED PLAYER FOR THE COACH
Filipe was direct when talking about the Uruguayan . According to him, Varela is one of those rare players that every coach would like to have on the team. “Whenever he comes on, he gets the job done. He plays on the right and on the left, with the same efficiency. It’s hard to leave him out, because he always delivers. He puts the team above everything else,” commented the manager of Mais Querido.
MULTIFUNCTIONALITY AS A DIFFERENTIATOR
Originally a right-back, Varela has been increasingly used on the left side of the field. In the match against Vasco, for example, he came on to replace Ayrton Lucas, who had to be substituted after suffering cramps in the second half. The change did not compromise the team's defensive performance, which reinforces the versatility of the number 2.
With the red-black delegation already on Ecuadorian soil for the match against LDU, in the Libertadores, Varela emerges once again as an important option. Without Alex Sandro, who remains out with a thigh edema, the left-back position should be occupied by Ayrton Lucas. However, if he is not in ideal condition, the Uruguayan should be named as a starter.
In addition to his dedication on the field, the Uruguayan offers the coach important alternatives within the game strategy. His ability to play on different sides of the field allows tactical adjustments without the need for major changes to the team, something that has been valued by Filipe Luís in recent matches. Even though he is not a regular starter, Varela has shown a professional and committed attitude . The way he assumes different roles on the field without complaining has been pointed out behind the scenes as an example for the other athletes. He has already been one of the standouts in other matches under Filipe, always with solid and disciplined performances.

Flamengo faces LDU this Tuesday (22), at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Casa Blanca Stadium, in Quito, for the third round of the Libertadores group stage. After the defeat to Central Córdoba at Maracanã, Rubro-Negro finds itself under pressure for a good result away from home to get back on track to qualify for the round of 16.
DECISIVE GAME FOR MENGÃO IN ECUADOR
The stumble in the previous round left the team in third place in Group C, with only three points. The Ecuadorians lead the group with four. A victory this Tuesday puts Mais Querido back in the running for the lead and gives them more peace of mind for the rest of the group stage, which still has two matches at Maracanã.
THE TEAM WILL HAVE FOUR IMPORTANT ABSENCES
Coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with significant absences . Alex Sandro, who still feels pain in his left thigh, and Matías Viña, who is recovering from a knee injury, will remain out. In addition to them, the medical department decided to rest Allan and De La Cruz, due to the altitude in Quito. Both remained in Rio, where they carry out specific activities at the CT.
For the match, the Rio de Janeiro club confirmed that it will wear its main uniform: a red and black shirt and black shorts. It is a return to tradition after the team played all in white in the derby against Vasco. LDU will enter the field wearing its all-white uniform, reinforcing the visual contrast of the match.
With the halfway point of the group stage approaching, the teams are beginning to feel the weight of each round. Flamengo started the campaign with a win over Deportivo Táchira, away from home, but the home defeat to the Argentines changed the scenario . Now, the team depends on a good result in Ecuador to continue with a real chance of advancing to the next stage without relying on combinations.

Having not played since April 12, when he suffered a chest injury in the match against Brentford , in the English Championship , Jorginho worries coach Mikel Arteta . In a press conference this Tuesday (22), the Arsenal commander stated that there is still no clear forecast for the return of the Italian-Brazilian midfielder.
I hope so, but I'm not sure..."
“I hope so (that he returns before the end of the season), but I’m not sure . We have to see how things evolve in the next few days , maybe weeks. The medical department is still cautious about setting a timeframe. The good news is that he is improving and feeling good. It was a scary situation, but now he is stable,” Arteta said.
EUROPEAN SEASON IS DIFFERENT FROM BRAZILIAN SEASON
It is worth remembering that the European season ends in the middle of the year , unlike the Brazilian calendar, which runs until December . With this, the possibility of Jorginho no longer playing for Arsenal in this final stretch increases.
FLAMENGO KEEPS KEEPING AN EYE ON JORGINHO
While awaiting the outcome of the case, Flamengo is closely monitoring the player's situation. The Rio de Janeiro club has already presented a proposal and is in advanced talks to sign the midfielder in the second half of the year.
Initially, Jorginho avoided confirming his future , but after spending a few days relaxing in Rio de Janeiro with his fiancée, the athlete showed enthusiasm for the idea of defending Rubro-Negro . Given this, the parties involved continue working to finalize the agreement.
