It went out! Check out Flamengo's lineup to face Corinthians

Flamengo will make its debut in the Libertadores this Thursday. The opponent will be Deportivo Táchira, in Venezuela. In this sense, coach Filipe Luís used the last training session with the squad to clear up some doubts about the starting lineup against the Venezuelans. To this end, the young red-and-black coach will make a change on the wing.

Without Wesley, coach Flipe Luís will field Varela . The rest of the lineup should be similar to the one that drew with Inter last Saturday. However, Filipe Luís did not pick a team in the last training session at Ninho do Urubu and will only define the lineup this Thursday.

As the trip is combined , the players will return directly to Salvador where they will face Vitória on Sunday, the possibility of preserving some players is not ruled out. Scenario in which some names are outsiders, such as Ayrton Lucas, Allan and Cebolinha.

Flamengo's likely starting line-up: Rossi; Varela, Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira, Alex Sandro (Ayrton Lucas); Pulgar, De la Cruz (Allan); Luiz Araújo, Michael (Cebolinha), Bruno Henrique and Juninho.

OTHER SHORTAGES

In addition to Wesley, the coach will also be without Ecuadorian striker Plata . According to Flamengo, the right-back and the South American player showed physical fatigue after the FIFA Date and needed to be rested.

THE GAME

Deportivo Táchira x Flamengo is scheduled for 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo stadium.

Flamengo ended the 2024 season by winning the Copa do Brasil, under the command of Filipe Luís . However, despite the title, some players faced criticism from the fans due to their performance below expectations. Among the targets of criticism was midfielder Allan , who received a vote of confidence from the red-black board to focus on the club's new phase.

According to information from journalist André Rizek, from SporTV, Mais Querido's directors met with Allan to emphasize the need to forget the past and keep full attention on the present and the future. During the conversation, the club emphasized that the midfielder should not feel pressured by the amount invested in the signing and that the confidence in him remains.

Let's start over, it's from here on out..."

— There is an internal effort with Allan to tell him: “Forget the past. What happened is happened. Let’s start over , it’s from here on out. Forget how much you cost. We trust you.” However, he has not yet been able to give the expected answer. Internally, they are trying to make him justify the reason why the club paid the termination fee to Atlético-MG — Rizek said on SporTV.

INVESTMENT IN ALLAN

The midfielder was announced by Flamengo on July 2, 2023, at the request of then coach Jorge Sampaoli. To complete the transfer with Atlético-MG, the board paid 8.2 million euros (around R$43.1 million at the exchange rate at the time). The expectation was that Allan would maintain the high level of performance he had shown at the Minas Gerais club.

FANS' EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER'S FUTURE AT THE CLUB

With an irregular start at Flamengo , Allan was the target of criticism from the Rubro-Negra Nation, even having his name questioned at the end of last season. Now, with a new coaching staff and support from the board, the player has the opportunity to regain prestige and justify the trust placed in him by the club.
