The first half of the Brazilian Championship has come to an end, and with that, some highlights need to be remembered. One of them is Luiz Araújo, Flamengo's winger, who had a great first round. Proof of this is that shirt number 7 received the highest score among all players in the position.
With a strong presence on the right side of the field, Luiz Araújo received the highest score on the portal 'Sofascore',7.35, among everyone in the Brazilian Championship. This is because the number 7 played all 18 games with Mais Querido, where he scored three goals and recorded four assists, being the second biggest assistant in the tournament, behind his teammate, Pedro.
It is also worth mentioning that, needing 164 minutes on average to participate in goals in the Brasileirão, Luiz Araújo is the leader in big chances created , with eight. Finally, Flamengo's winger still has a 69% success rate in attempted dribbles.
Aiming for the clash against Atlético-GO This Sunday (28), Flamengo only trains on Saturday for Tite to decide who the starting team will be. This is because the athletes who started playing against Vitória only carried out regenerative work in the gym this Friday (26) and were not on the Ninho do Urubu fields.
Despite the short time, Tite had two important comebacks: Pulgar and Wesley. The midfielder had missed the last round due to gastroenteritis, while the full-back had problems with his left thigh.
Bruno Henrique, on the other hand, is still recovering from the injury he suffered to his right ankle. Undergoing more conservative treatment due to the previous problems he faced, the number 27 has not even started the transition phase to the pitch and is out of the duel on Sunday (28).
Flamengo's probable lineup: Rossi, Varela (Wesley), Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira and Viña; Allan (Pulgar), De la Cruz, Arrascaeta and Gerson; Cebolinha and Pedro.
