Flamengo is ready for the decisive match against Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (19), for the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. Filipe Luís surprised the Flamengo fans by setting the lineup without a forward.
Filipe Luís lined up Flamengo's attack with Cebolinha on the left wing and Luiz Araújo on the right. Finally, Arrascaeta will play alongside Carrascal further up, as a kind of false 9.
Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who are used as center forwards at Flamengo, will start the game on the bench. Thus, the Most Beloved will play without a traditional forward against Lanús this Thursday (19).
It's worth noting that Lucas Paquetá will also be a starter against Lanús. However, the Flamengo academy product will play as a second midfielder, alongside Erick Pulgar. It's worth remembering that the number 20 also played in this position against Botafogo, in the Carioca, and scored.
The match between Flamengo and Lanús starts at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in Argentina, for the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana. Thus, ESPN, on cable, and Disney+, via streaming, will broadcast the match throughout Brazil.
