Fortaleza boss reveals Flamengo’s ‘weak spot’ after Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

What is Flamengo's Weakness, According to Martín Palermo?

Fortaleza defeated Flamengo 1-0 on Saturday (25), in a match valid for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the positive result, the coach of the Ceará team, Martín Palermo, revealed that he set up the team's strategy based on the lineup of Danilo, the red-black defender.

— Today (Saturday), in the plan for this match, we considered this. Who would give us that first pass to find spaces with Breno Lopes or with Tuco (José Herrera). That was somewhat the game plan. Based on this pair of midfielders, we could do that -, he said, before concluding:

— That's how we reached the goal, with space, with Breno reaching that sector. That was the space where Danilo was, who had come from the match against Racing. He had been through a lot of wear and tear. We had to look for where we could gain an advantage -, concluded the Fortaleza coach.

What Happened to Léo Ortiz?

Danilo was a starter in Flamengo's last two games, against Racing (ARG) and Fortaleza. This is because Léo Ortiz was undergoing treatment after a right ankle strain, suffered in the 3-2 victory over Palmeiras last Sunday (19).

Léo Ortiz now hopes to be available to Filipe Luís for the second match against Racing this Wednesday (29). It is worth noting that in the first leg, the defender was even listed by the coach, but did not leave the bench.

What is Flamengo's Next Game?

After the defeat to Fortaleza, Flamengo refocuses on the Libertadores competition. This Wednesday (29), Filipe Luís's team faces Racing (ARG) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Presidente Perón Stadium, for the return leg of the Libertadores semifinals.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing game.
