Who should start? Lino vs Cebolinha for Flamengo’s left wing, stats | OneFootball

Filipe Luís must choose between Samuel Lino and Cebolinha for the Flamengo vs Fluminense match

In Flamengo’s 5-1 thrashing of Sport last Saturday (15), the introduction of Cebolinha in the second half was impressive. The number 11, who has better stats at Rubro-Negro than Samuel Lino, reignites the battle for the left wing spot in the attack.

One factor, however, that counts against Cebolinha is injuries. The forward, for example, has suffered four injuries that have kept him off the pitch for a total of 13 matches so far. As a result, rumors have circulated that the number 11 could be considered expendable.

Although the numbers favor Cebolinha, Lino was a request from coach Filipe Luís. The former left-back, in fact, always praises the number 16, who cost R$ 143 million. The coach, however, believes that Flamengo paid little for the player.
