In the team's next match against Peñarol, the expectation is that midfielder De La Cruz will be back, reinforcing the squad at an important moment of the season. This possible return generates a sense of relief for fans, who know the player's importance to the team's tactical scheme. With De La Cruz on the field, the creation of plays in the midfield gains more fluidity and consistency, something the team needs to impose itself on the international stage.

In addition, another point that has been much discussed among fans and experts is the continuation of Léo Ortiz as a starter in the defense. The defender has demonstrated solid and consistent performance, becoming an indispensable part of the team's defensive system. The idea that Ortiz could be removed from the starting lineup is seen by many as a mistake. "It would be a shame if Tite took Léo Ortiz out of the team", say the critics. The trust placed in the defender is justified by his confident performances and leadership on the field.


FLAMENGO AND ITS "UNPREVISABLES"

Léo Ortiz stands out not only for his technical qualities, but also for his attitude on the field. He has established himself as a kind of "general" in defense, commanding the sector and organizing the team in moments of pressure. The general opinion is that the defense should consist of Ortiz and one other player, whoever it is. The choice of those who follow Ortiz < /a>in defense it is less relevant, as long as the defender remains in the starting lineup.

The decision of Tite, in this sense, is eagerly awaited, especially because changing the defense at a crucial moment of the season can generate instability. Ortiz has been a defensive pillar and, taking him out of the team now, could compromise the defense's chemistry and the team's confidence as a whole.
