Filipe Luis could use a completely different team in Flamengo's defense

Flamengo began its preparation for the next game in the Brazilian Championship this Monday (28), with coach Filipe Luís commanding the first of two training aimed at Internacional. In a delayed round of the competition, the Rio team is preparing for an important clash away from home. The main novelty in training was the formation of an unprecedented defensive quartet, composed of Varela, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Ayrton Lucas, suggesting significant changes in the defense line.

With this new configuration, Filipe Luís tries to adjust the defense of Flamengo for his sixth game as coach of the team. Among all the formations already used, this will be the first time that this quartet will start a match together. Thus, there is an expectation that Varela, Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Ayrton Lucas will start the duel against Internacional in Porto Alegre, a formation that seeks to bring solidity and new defensive dynamics to Rubro-Negro.

 FLAMENGO MOVES ITS CAST 

This strategy by Filipe Luís is part of a plan to preserve some players, aiming for Flamengo's next match against Atlético-MG, which takes place on Sunday (03). The coach has chosen to use a mixed team, sparing athletes like Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, while dealing with the absence of Alex Sandro, who has discomfort in his thigh. These changes show a concern with balancing the physical wear and tear on the cast and adjusting the team for future challenges.

Flamengo's preparation does not stop around. This Tuesday (29), the squad returns to training at CT Ninho do Urubu, where Filipe Luís will make the final adjustments before the trip to Porto Alegre. This last training session is essential to define the starting lineup that will face Internacional, ensuring that the team is prepared and cohesive for the decisive clash in Beira-Rio. With a mixed squad and changes in defense, the team seeks to consolidate Filipe Luís' strategy and achieve a good result.

 FILIPE PREPARES THE TEAM 

The match against Internacional represents an opportunity for Flamengo b> test this new defensive formation and evaluate the performance of the players chosen to replace important members of the team. Filipe Luís has used an approach that allows the team to experiment with new tactical dynamics, while also offering rest to players who have been most demanding this season. Furthermore, the coach seeks to ensure that the team arrives in good condition for the confrontation with Atlético-MG, a direct opponent in the fight for the top positions in the championship.
