Coach Filipe Luís chose to start with Samuel Lino as an option on the bench in Flamengo's 1-0 victory over Racing (ARG). After the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal, the red-black commander praised the forward's performance and mentioned the athlete's attitude on the field.
— Lino's entry was very important because, as I said, he came into a more open game where the fullback had no help. And sometimes, for a player, it's uncomfortable to leave the starting lineup and go to the bench, but I don't see it that way. I see that everyone is important, everyone plays roles, at different times of the season we will need some or others -, he stated before concluding:
— It's important that Lino felt good again. He scored a goal that was disallowed, but he felt confident again because we need him a lot, he is a very important player -, concluded Filipe Luís in a press conference on Wednesday (22), at Maracanã.
Previously a starter, Samuel Lino began the match against Racing on the bench. In the second half, the forward came on and managed to trouble the rival opponents. Initially, the athlete hit a point-blank shot, but goalkeeper Cambeses made the save.
Minutes later, Samuel Lino managed to find the back of the net at Maracanã, but was offside. On that occasion, the forward received a beautiful pass from Erick Pulgar and, with a header, lobbed the Racing goalkeeper. Finally, on the field, the athlete saw Carrascal score the winning goal for Mengão.
With Samuel Lino, Flamengo achieved a significant result in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinal. With a 1-0 score, the Red-Black has the advantage of a draw to advance to the next stage. The final match takes place next Wednesday (29), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at ‘El Cilindro’ in Argentina.
Before the Libertadores, however, Flamengo takes the field to face Fortaleza, in the 30th round of the Brasileirão. The match is scheduled for Saturday (25), at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Castelão.
