Cruzeiro boss highlights Filipe Luís' Flamengo weakness: "They struggle" | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim stated that he managed to neutralize Flamengo's attacks

In front of more than 72,000 people, Flamengo was unable to break the deadlock against Cruzeiro last Thursday (02). The result caused dissatisfaction among the Rubro-Negra fans. After the match, coach Leonardo Jardim highlighted how he managed to neutralize Mengo.

— Flamengo is a team that, when circulating the ball from side to side, has some difficulty. That's what we tried to do, always putting one in the corridor, putting it in the opposite corridor, and we had many circulations of this kind, which was extremely positive for us to show our quality —, said Leonardo Jardim.

HOW WAS THE GAME?

In the first half, Flamengo found it difficult to reach Cruzeiro's area. The Rubro-Negro team had more ball possession, but could not threaten the team from Belo Horizonte in the initial 45 minutes.

After the break, Flamengo showed improvement in performance and began to get closer to Cruzeiro's area. With the expulsion of fullback Willian, the Most Beloved was left with one more player and pressed the Minas Gerais team until the final whistle.

WHAT NOW?

Thus, with the draw, Flamengo doesn't have much time to lament the result. That's because, the Most Beloved faces Bahia on Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova. Therefore, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the match.
