The player is managing to stand out in the starting team with Pulgar out
|
0Flamengo finished preparations for the game against Amazonas this Tuesday (21). Still without being able to count on Erick Pulgar, who is in the final stretch of recovery from an injury to his left ankle, coach Tite kept Allan in the starting lineup.
Since Erick Pulgar was injured, Allan has been the 'owner' of the position'. It is important to emphasize that in the same role, Tite has Igor Jesus. At the beginning of the season, Ninho's son even had opportunities, but Flamengo's number 21 was chosen to replace the Chilean.
So far, Allan has been a starter in Flamengo's last five games. The sequence even meant that the player was able to repeat good performances and, as a result, receive praise from a large part of the red and black fans. During the week, Erick Pulgar even returned to training with the squad, however, by choice of the technical committee, the athlete did not continue the trip to Manaus.
This Tuesday's activity (21) was decisive for for Tite to define Flamengo's starting team. In training, coach Tite outlined the team as follows: Matheus Cunha; Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas; Allan, De La Cruz and Arrascaeta; Gerson, Everton Cebolinha and Pedro.
The match at Arena da Amazônia, in Manaus, starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). It is worth remembering that Flamengo won the first game, at Maracanã, 1-0. As a result, Rubro-Negro visits Amazonas with the advantage of a draw. At the time, on May 1st, Pedro scored the goal that guaranteed Fla's victory. Now, therefore, Amazonas needs at least a simple victory, that is, 1-0, to take the decision to penalties. On the other hand, if the Manaus team wins the game by two or more goals, they will beat Flamengo and advance to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

And when you have Gabi who can be played like that, you have sharp and aggressive players, with short combinations in the last third of the field."
