A "POSITIONED" VARELA AT FLAMENGO

During a press conference held last Friday (30), at Ninho do Urubu, Luiz Araújo analyzed the challenges faced by Flamengo when playing at home, especially against opponents who opt for defensive systems with low lines . According to the striker, the use of medium and long-range finishes plays a fundamental role in breaking this type of marking.
In his statements, Luiz Araújo was direct in stating that, given the difficulty of penetrating more compact defenses, the team needs to diversify its offensive options. “ We know that the teams that come to play at Maracanã will come with this line of five , and we have to train, train, improve every day, and of course we have to be creative, we have to have this finishing”, he declared.
STRIKER REVEALS EXTRA TRAINING ROUTINE
Luiz Araújo also commented on the specific training sessions he does outside of the team's standard schedule. " I'm a player who demands a lot from myself, I train a lot every day , and after training I try to stay a little longer, to be able to finish with my teammates," he said.
In addition to finishing, he highlighted the set piece as another important alternative. “ I think this is a weapon for a defense that is very closed, this long-distance shot, and there is also the set piece,” he added.
NLUIZ ARAÚJO SCORES IMPORTANT GOALS AND ASSISTS
With constant participation in games, Luiz Araújo has already played 27 matches in 2024, having contributed with five goals and five assists. Among the decisive moments is the goal scored in the final of the Supercopa do Brasil, against Botafogo, which confirmed his relevance in the Flamengo squad.
