Flamengo aim to sharpen their attack under Leonardo Jardim | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim believes it is only a matter of time before Flamengo score more goals in matches

Flamengo are preparing to face Atlético-MG in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship on Sunday (26). Meanwhile, Leonardo Jardim is enjoying a great run in charge of the Rubro-Negro, who reached their sixth straight win of the season.

However, despite Flamengo’s good form, one factor still bothers both the fans and the coach himself: the number of missed goalscoring chances. In fact, for Leonardo Jardim, it is only a matter of time before Fla are actually able to turn more chances into goals.

What are Fla’s numbers under Jardim?

In short, since Leonardo Jardim arrived on March 8 this year, Flamengo have averaged 15.25 shots per match, with 183 in total. Of these, they average 5.5 on target (66 in total, or 36%).

During this period, Flamengo scored 24 goals, averaging two goals per game. Finally, since Leonardo Jardim’s arrival, the Rubro-Negro side have won nine matches, in addition to drawing two and losing one. The data was released by GE.

What does Jardim think?

Recently, Leonardo Jardim said that, in his view, it is only a matter of time before Flamengo turn more of the chances they create into goals. For the Portuguese coach, the problem would be if Fla were not creating chances to find the net.

— My experience in football tells me that when we create a number of situations, as was the case in these last two matches, and do not convert as much, the future will be promising because there will come a moment when the balls will start going in. I worry when we do not create. I like my teams to create -, he said.

What now?

Now, the next opportunity for Flamengo to score goals will be on Sunday (26). On that occasion, the Most Beloved will face Atlético-MG in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be played at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
