The debate about the use of the player Gonzalo Plata, if he is hired by Flamengo, has been generating questions about his adaptation to different positions on the field. A recurring criticism points to the athlete's lack of experience playing on the left wing, an area where he does not have enough running to perform at a high level.
Plata is a player who stood out in European football, preferably playing on the wing. right, where his ball handling ability and speed dribbling are more effective. However, placing the Ecuadorian to act on the left could harm both individual and collective performance. The criticism is clear: Plata does not feel comfortable in this position, and this directly impacts the functioning of the team.
The left winger demands specific skills from a player that Plata, to date, has not fully demonstrated. Playing "crooked", that is, outside of his usual position, not only limits his capabilities but also affects the natural flow of plays. This is because he will have to adapt his playing style to fit a role he is not used to playing.
Another relevant point is the athlete's lack of repertoire in the position. Plata does not have five professional games playing as a left winger, which highlights his inexperience for the role. This lack of games in this area compromises your ability to make quick and effective decisions during games, which can result in lower-than-expected performance.
