Does Jardim use Filipe Luís’s tactics? How Cruzeiro played | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim has frequently used the 4-2-3-1 formation

Flamengo is close to finalizing the hiring of coach Leonardo Jardim, following the dismissal of Filipe Luís. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla has gathered details on how the Portuguese coach usually works and the tactics he employs.

Since his emergence at Monaco (FRA), Leonardo Jardim has tended to use tactical variations, alternating between the 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 formations. In his most recent job at Cruzeiro, the coach opted more for the second option in the 55 matches he led the team from Minas Gerais.

Thus, Leonardo Jardim has worked with a formation similar to the one Filipe Luís used at Flamengo: a standard defensive line, two midfielders—one defensive and one who initiates play—two wingers, an attacking midfielder, and a fast center forward.

On the other hand, Cruzeiro had the seventh worst average ball possession in last year's Campeonato Brasileiro, with 47.7%, according to SofaScore. The team from Minas Gerais was ahead of only Vitória, Ceará, Juventude, Fortaleza, Grêmio, and Sport.

HOW DID LEONARDO JARDIM DO AT CRUZEIRO?

Leonardo Jardim was at Cruzeiro for 55 matches. During this period, the Portuguese coach achieved 25 wins, 18 draws, and 12 losses. Thus, he finished his stint with a 56% success rate.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE NEGOTIATION?

Flamengo is very close to finalizing the signing of Leonardo Jardim, after meetings held last Monday (02). Therefore, a positive outcome is expected soon and Mengo is expected to make the agreement official.
