Joaquín Freitas eyes starting spot as Flamengo attack opens up | OneFootball

How has Joaquín Freitas started at Flamengo?

Joaquín Freitas was one of the signings Flamengo made in the latest transfer window. Even with little time at the club, the young Argentine has managed to earn space among the ‘big names’ and is now using the FIFA international break to fight for a spot in the starting lineup.

Joaquín Freitas’ signing came with an air of ‘uncertainty’ among Flamengo supporters. However, even without much time to train, the forward has shown signs that he can add something to Flamengo.

How has Joaquín Freitas been involved in Flamengo’s matches?

Joaquín made his debut in the match against Remo in the Brasileirão. On that occasion, the player came on in the final stretch of the game, which ended in a win for Mengão. After that, Freitas was brought on again by Leonardo Jardim against Corinthians at the Maracanã.

In that match, Joaquín played a decisive role. It was from the Argentine’s feet that the assist came for the goal that sealed Rubro-Negro’s 2-1 win over the São Paulo side. Finally, last Sunday (20), the 19-year-old came on late in Fla’s victory over Red Bull Bragantino.

How is Joaquín Freitas adapting at Flamengo?

Despite his young age and recent arrival, Joaquín Freitas already seems to understand what it means to play for Flamengo. That’s because team leaders such as Rossi and Danilo, for example, have made it clear that the player has quality and is already preparing to contribute to the Rubro-Negro squad.

During this FIFA break, Joaquín also has one point in his favor. Since Pedro and Samuel Lino have been called up to the Brazil national team, they will not take part in Flamengo’s upcoming activities. As a result, the Argentine sees an opening to show head coach Leonardo Jardim what he can do.
